Wrapped brane solutions in romans F (4) gauged supergravity

We explore the spectrum of lower-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) solutions in F(4) gauged supergravity in six dimensions. The ansatz employed corresponds to D4-branes partially wrapped on various supersymmetric cycles in special holonomy manifolds. Re-visiting and extending previous results, we study the cases of two, three, and four-dimensional supersymmetric cycles within Calabi-Yau threefold, fourfold, G(2), and Spin(7) holonomy manifolds. We also report on non-supersymmetric AdS vacua, and check their stability in the consistently truncated lower-dimensional effective action, using the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound. We also analyze the IR behavior and discuss the admissibility of singular flows. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
