The Eleven-Dimensional Uplift of Four-Dimensional Supersymmetric RG Flow
The squashed and stretched 7-dimensional internal metric preserving U(1) x
U(1) x U(1)_R symmetry possesses an Einstein-Kahler 2-fold which is a base
manifold of 5-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein L^{p, q, r} space. The r(transverse
to the domain wall)-dependence of the two 4-dimensional supergravity fields,
that play the role of geometric parameters for squashing and stretching, makes
the 11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations consistent not only at the two
critical points but also along the whole N=2 supersymmetric RG flow connecting
them. The Ricci tensor of the solution has common feature with the previous
three 11-dimensional solutions. The 4-forms preserve only U(1)_R symmetry for
other generic parameters of the metric. We find an exact solution to the
11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations corresponding to the lift of the
4-dimensional supersymmetric RG flow.Comment: 16 p
More on Meta-Stable Brane Configuration by Quartic Superpotential for Fundamentals
For the case where the gauge theory superpotential has a quartic term as well
as the mass term for quarks, the nonsupersymmetric meta-stable brane
configuration was found recently. By adding the orientifold 6-planes and the
extra fundamental flavors to this brane configuration, we describe the
meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of the gauge theory with antisymmetric
flavor as well as fundamental flavors in type IIA string theory.Comment: 16 pp, 4 figures; second paragraph of section 1, figures 2, 3, 4, the
last paragraph of page 5, the equation (2.1) and the footnote 2 are improved

Other Meta-Stable Brane Configuration by Adding an Orientifold 6-Plane to Giveon-Kutasov
Giveon and Kutasov have found the type IIA intersecting nonsupersymmetric
meta-stable brane configuration where the electric gauge theory superpotential
has a quartic term as well as the mass term for quarks. In this paper, by
adding the orientifold 6-plane to this brane configuration, we describe the
brane configuration corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of
the supersymmetric unitary gauge theory with symmetric flavor as well as
fundamental flavors.Comment: 16 pp, 3 figures; The mirrors of Figures 2 and 3 corrected; the

Towards An N=1 SU(3)-Invariant Supersymmetric Membrane Flow In Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity
The M-theory lift of N=1 G_2-invariant RG flow via a combinatoric use of the
4-dimensional RG flow and 11-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations was found
some time ago. The 11-dimensional metric, a warped product of an asymptotically
AdS_4 space with a squashed and stretched 7-sphere, for SU(3)-invariance was
found before. In this paper, by choosing the 4-dimensional internal space as
CP^2 space, we discover an exact solution of N=1 G_2-invariant flow to the
11-dimensional field equations. By an appropriate coordinate transformation on
the three internal coordinates, we also find an 11-dimensional solution of N=1
G_2-invariant flow interpolating from N=8 SO(8)-invariant UV fixed point to N=1
G_2-invariant IR fixed point. In particular, the 11-dimensional metric and
4-forms at the N=1 G_2 fixed point for the second solution will provide some
hints for the 11-dimensional lift of whole N=1 SU(3) RG flow connecting this
N=1 G_2 fixed point to N=2 SU(3) x U(1)_R fixed point in 4-dimensions.Comment: 45 pp; Four footnotes added and corrected some statement
The Gauge Dual of Gauged N=8 Supergravity Theory
The most general SU(3)-singlet space of gauged N=8 supergravity in
four-dimensions is studied recently. The SU(3)-invariant six scalar fields are
realized by six real four-forms. A family of holographic N=1 supersymmetric RG
flows on M2-branes in three-dimensions is described. This family of flows is
driven by three independent mass parameters from the N=8 SO(8) theory and is
controlled by two IR fixed points, N=1 G_2-invariant one and N=2 SU(3) x
U(1)-invariant one. The generic flow with arbitrary mass parameters is N=1
supersymmetric and reaches to the N=2 SU(3) x U(1) fixed point where the three
masses become identical. A particular N=1 supersymmetric SU(3)-preserving RG
flow from the N=1 G_2-invariant fixed point to the N=2 SU(3) x U(1)-invariant
fixed point is also discussed.Comment: 19pp; added the footnote 1, improved the conclusion and to appear in

N=1 Supersymmetric Boundary Bootstrap
We investigate the boundary bootstrap programme for finding exact reflection
matrices of integrable boundary quantum field theories with N=1 boundary
supersymmetry. The bulk S-matrix and the reflection matrix are assumed to take
the form S=S_1S_0, R=R_1R_0, where S_0 and R_0 are the S-matrix and reflection
matrix of some integrable non-supersymmetric boundary theory that is assumed to
be known, and S_1 and R_1 describe the mixing of supersymmetric indices. Under
the assumption that the bulk particles transform in the kink and boson/fermion
representations and the ground state is a singlet we present rules by which the
supersymmetry representations and reflection factors for excited boundary bound
states can be determined. We apply these rules to the boundary sine-Gordon
model, to the boundary a_2^(1) and a_4^(1) affine Toda field theories, to the
boundary sinh-Gordon model and to the free particle.Comment: 43 pages, LaTex, 14 eps figures, minor correction
Perturbing Around A Warped Product Of AdS_4 and Seven-Ellipsoid
We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and
a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a
U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order
superpotential. The mass-squared in AdS_4 is quadratic in G_2 quantum number
and KK excitation number. We determine the dimensions of spin-2 operators using
the AdS/CFT correspondence. The connection to N=2 theory preserving SU(3) x
U(1)_R is also discussed.Comment: 21pp; The second and last paragraphs of section 2, the footnotes 1

Meta-Stable Brane Configurations by Higher Order Polynomial Superpotential
We construct the type IIA nonsupersymmetric meta-stable brane configuration
consisting of (2k+1) NS5-branes and D4-branes where the electric gauge theory
superpotential has an order (2k+2) polynomial for the bifundamentals. We find a
rich pattern of nonsupersymmetric meta-stable states as well as the
supersymmetric stable ones. By adding the orientifold 4-plane to this brane
configuration, we also describe the intersecting brane configuration of type
IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of
corresponding gauge theory.Comment: 27pp, 8 figures; some footnotes added; to appear in IJMP
c=5/2 Free Fermion Model of WB_{2} Algebra
We investigate the explicit construction of the algebra, which is
closed and associative for all values of the central charge , using the
Jacobi identity and show the agreement with the results studied previously.
Then we illustrate a realization of free fermion model, which
is limit of unitary minimal series, based on the cosets at level We confirm by explicit
computations that the bosonic currents in the algebra are indeed
given by the Casimir operators of .Comment: 16 page
