Abstract

We study various types of holographic solutions from five-dimensional N=4 gauged supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets with SO(2)×ISO(3) gauge group. This gauged supergravity can be obtained from the maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions on a Riemann surface. For a negatively curved Riemann surface H2, the resulting five-dimensional gauged supergravity admits a supersymmetric N=4 AdS5 critical point. This AdS5 vacuum is dual to an N=2 superconformal field theory (SCFT) arising from M5-branes wrapped on H2. We study holographic RG flows between this SCFT and N=2 nonconformal phases by deformations involving relevant, marginal and irrelevant operators. Solutions describing conformal interfaces between these nonconformal phases and singular boundaries are also given. We finally study a number of supersymmetric AdS5 black string and black hole solutions holographically dual to RG flows across dimensions from the N=2 SCFT to two-dimensional SCFTs and superconformal quantum mechanics in the IR. A number of solutions describing black strings and black holes in asymptotically domain wall space-time are also found. All of the solutions can be uplifted to M-theory by a consistent truncation on H2×S4.
