Gravity duals of N = 2 superconformal field theories with no electrostatic description

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We construct the first eleven-dimensional supergravity solutions, which are regular, have no smearing and possess only SO(2, 4) x SO(3) x U(1)R isometry. They are dual to four-dimensional field theories with N = 2 superconformal symmetry. We utilise the Toda frame of self-dual four-dimensional Euclidean metrics with SU(2) rotational symmetry. They are obtained by transforming the Atiyah-Hitchin instanton under SL(2, ℝ) and are expressed in terms of theta functions. The absence of any extra U(1) symmetry, even asymptotically, renders inapplicable the electrostatic description of our solution.
