Holography of 3d N=4 superconformal quiver theories
John Estes (Imperial College)
Venue: IC ยท Room: B741 ยท Time: 14:00 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
3d N=4 superconformal quiver theories arise as the low energy description of intersecting D3/D5/NS5 branes. I will discuss the backreacted solutions describing the near horizon geometry of such configurations. A map between the CFT and supergravity solutions is proposed. As a check, the CFT partition function on S^3 is computed using localization technqiues and matched to the supergravity results.
