Massive flows in AdS6/CFT5

We study five-dimensional N = 1 Superconformal Field Theories of the linear quiver type. These are deformed by a relevant operator, corresponding to a homogeneous mass term for certain matter fields. The free energy is calculated at arbitrary values of the mass parameter. After a careful regularisation procedure, the result can be put in correspondence with a calculation in the supergravity dual background. The F-theorem is verified for these flows, both in field theory and in supergravity. This letter presents some of the results in the companion paper [1].(c) 2023 The Authors.

Automated summary

We study the linear quiver type of five-dimensional N=1 Superconformal Field Theories and deform them by a relevant operator. The free energy is calculated at arbitrary mass parameter values and corresponds to a calculation in the supergravity dual background after regularisation. The F-theorem is verified in both field theory and supergravity for these flows. This letter presents some results from the companion paper [1].
