A new supersymmetric compactification of chiral IIB supergravity

We present a new compactificatiun of chiral, N = 2 ten-dimensional supergravity down to five dimensions and show that it corresponds to the N = 2 supersymmetric critical point of five-dimensional, N = 8 gauged supergravity found in [1]. This solution presented hers is of particular significance because it involves non-zero tensor gauge fields and, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, is dual to the non-trivial N = 1 supersymmetric fixed point of N = 4 Yang-Mills theory.
