Euclidean flows, solitons and wormholes in AdS from M-theory

Published 21 Dec 2023 in hep-th | (2312.13955v2)

Abstract: Multi-parametric families of non-supersymmetric EAdS${4}$ flows as well as asymptotically EAdS${4}$ solitons and wormholes are constructed within the four-dimensional $\textrm{SO}(8)$ gauged supergravity that describes the compactification of M-theory on $\textrm{S}{7}$. More concretely, the solutions are found within the so-called STU-model that describes the $\textrm{U}(1)4$ invariant sector of the theory. The on-shell action and gravitational free energy are computed for the regular solutions, the latter being zero for the wormholes irrespective of supersymmetry. There are special loci in parameter space yielding solutions with enhanced (super)symmetry. Examples include a supersymmetric EAdS$_{4}$ flow with $\textrm{SO}(4) \times \textrm{SO}(4)$ symmetry dual to a specific real mass deformation of ABJM on S${3}$ as well as a non-supersymmetric wormhole with $\textrm{SU}(3) \times \textrm{U}(1)2$ symmetry. Uplift formulae for these and other examples to Euclidean solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity are presented and their complex nature discussed.
