Holography for field theory solitons
We extend a well-known D-brane construction of the AdS/dCFT correspondence to
non-abelian defects. We focus on the bulk side of the correspondence and show
that there exists a regime of parameters in which the low-energy description
consists of two approximately decoupled sectors. The two sectors are gravity in
the ambient spacetime, and a six-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
The Yang-Mills theory is defined on a rigid AdS_4 x S^2 background and admits
sixteen supersymmetries. We also consider a one-parameter deformation that
gives rise to a family of Yang-Mills theories on asymptotically AdS_4 x S^2
spacetimes, which are invariant under eight supersymmetries. With future
holographic applications in mind, we analyze the vacuum structure and
perturbative spectrum of the Yang-Mills theory on AdS_4 x S^2, as well as
systems of BPS equations for finite-energy solitons. Finally, we demonstrate
that the classical Yang-Mills theory has a consistent truncation on the
two-sphere, resulting in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills on AdS_4.Comment: 78 pages plus appendices, 4 figures; v2: references added; v3: typos
