Finding AdS5 x S5 in 2+1 dimensional SCFT physics

We study solutions of type IIB string theory dual to N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on half of Double-struck capital R-3,R-1 coupled to holographic three-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) at the edge of this half-space. The dual geometries are asymptotically AdS(5)xS(5) with boundary geometry Double-struck capital R(2,1)xDouble-struck capital R+, with a geometrical end-of-the-world (ETW) brane cutting off the other half of the asymptotic region of the would-be Poincare AdS(5)xS(5). We show that by choosing the 3D SCFT appropriately, this ETW brane can be pushed arbitrarily far towards the missing asymptotic region, recovering the missing half of Poincare AdS(5)xS(5). We also show that there are 3D SCFTs whose dual includes a wedge of Poincare AdS(5)xS(5) with an angle arbitrarily close to pi, with geometrical ETW branes on either side.

Automated summary

The study focuses on solutions of type IIB string theory dual to N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, showing that the ETW brane can be pushed arbitrarily far to recover the missing half of Poincare AdS(5)xS(5). Additionally, it is demonstrated that there are 3D SCFTs whose dual includes a wedge of Poincare AdS(5)xS(5) with an angle close to pi.
