A Supergravity Dual of a (1,0) Field Theory in Six Dimensions

TL;DR

This paper proposes a supergravity dual for a six-dimensional (1,0) superconformal field theory with E8 symmetry, involving a geometric modification from a 4-sphere to a 4-hemisphere or orbifold.

Contribution

It introduces a novel supergravity dual for the (1,0) theory, extending the holographic correspondence to a new class of six-dimensional theories with E8 symmetry.

Findings

Supergravity dual constructed for (1,0) theory

Geometric modification from 4-sphere to 4-hemisphere or orbifold

Supports holographic description of six-dimensional (1,0) SCFTs

Abstract

We suggest a supergravity dual for the $(1,0)$ superconformal field theory in six dimensions which has $E_8$ global symmetry. Compared to the description of the (2,0) field theory, the 4-sphere is replaced by a 4-hemisphere, or by orbifolding the 4-sphere.
