Flowing to N = 3 Chern-Simons-matter theory

New renormalisation group flows of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories with a single gauge group SU(N) and adjoint matter are found holographically. These RG flows have an infrared fixed point given by a CFT with N = 3 supersymmetry and SU(2) flavour symmetry. The ultraviolet fixed point is agai...

Sumario:New renormalisation group flows of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories with a single gauge group SU(N) and adjoint matter are found holographically. These RG flows have an infrared fixed point given by a CFT with N = 3 supersymmetry and SU(2) flavour symmetry. The ultraviolet fixed point is again described by a CFT with either N = 2 and SU(3) symmetry or N = 1 and G2 symmetry. The gauge/gravity duals of these RG flows are constructed as domain-wall solutions of a gauged supergravity model in four dimensions that enjoys an embedding into massive IIA supergravity. A concrete RG flow that brings a mass deformation of the N = 2 CFT into the N = 3 CFT at low energies is described in detail
