Three-dimensional CFTs and RG flow from squashing M2-brane horizon
2000
Nuclear Physics B
Utilizing AdS/CFT correspondence in M-theory, an example of interacting d=3 conformal field theories and renormalization group flow between them is presented. Near-horizon geometry of N coincident M2-branes located on a conical singularity on eight-dimensional hyperkähler manifold or manifold with Spin(7) holonomy is, in large-N limit, AdS4*X7, where X7 is seven-sphere with squashing. Deformation from round _7 to squashed one is known to lead to spontaneous breaking of N=8 local supersymmetry
