M. Berkooz, Soo-Jong Rey
TL;DR
This paper explores stable, non-supersymmetric M-theory compactifications to AdS4 and their dual conformal field theories, highlighting conditions that simplify control over quantum corrections.
Contribution
It identifies conditions under which non-supersymmetric M-theory vacua are stable and controllable, providing explicit examples of such compactifications.
Findings
Certain non-supersymmetric vacua are stable and controllable.
Large-N dual CFTs without invariant marginal operators simplify analysis.
Examples of stable M-theory compactifications to AdS4 are presented.
Abstract
We discuss stability of non-supersymmetric compactification of M-theory and string theory of the form AdS * X, and their dual non-supersymmetric interacting conformal field theories. We argue some of the difficulties in controlling 1/N-corrections disappear in the cases that the large-N dual conformal field theory has no invariant marginal operators (and in some cases with no exactly marginal operators only). We provide several examples of such compactifications of M-theory down to AdS4.
