Marginal Deformations and Penrose Limits with Continuous Spectrum
📍 London
Toni Mateos (Imperial)
Venue: KCL · Room: 423 · Time: 13:00 · Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
Lunin and Maldacena recently found a simple method to generate AdS_5
supergravity backgrounds dual to exactly marginal deformations of SCFTs.
In the first part of the talk, we will consider extensions to AdS_4
backgrounds, concentrating on those for which dual IR 3d field theories
have been proposed. In the second part, we will concentrate on the
deformation of N=4 SYM in 4d and analyze a certain Penrose limit. We will
be led to consider a 'modified Landau problem' and relate it to the
different set of chiral operators of the deformed N=4.
