TL;DR

This paper investigates the AdS/CFT correspondence for 6D SO(2N) (0,2) SCFTs via M theory on AdS7×RP4, classifying branes and their roles in the dual super Yang-Mills theory.

Contribution

It extends the classification of wrapped branes and their physical interpretations to the SO(2N) (0,2) theory using homology properties of RP4.

Findings

Classified various wrapping branes in SO(2N) (0,2) theory.

Analyzed particles, strings, and domain walls in Type IIA string theory.

Connected wrapped branes to physical objects like baryon vertices.

Abstract

We study M theory on $AdS_7 \times \RP^4$ corresponding to 6 dimensional SO(2N) $(0, 2)$ superconformal field theory on a circle which becomes 5 dimensional super Yang-Mills theory at low energies. For SU(N) (0,2) theory, a wrapped D4 brane on $\S^4$ which is connected to a D4 brane on the boundary of $AdS_7$ by N fundamental strings can be interpreted as baryon vertex. For SO(2N) (0,2) theory, by using the property of homology of $\RP^4$, we classify various wrapping branes. Then we consider particles, strings, twobranes, domain walls and the baryon vertex in Type IIA string theory.
