Abstract: A holographic method for implementing a particular supersymmetry-preserving deformation to 4d SCFTs is presented. At the heart of the procedure is a soliton solution of minimal gauged supergravity. Embedding this solution into ten- and eleven-dimensional string theory backgrounds of the form AdS, we systematically construct a range of new solutions. Each holographically realizes a twisted compactification of the SCFT4 dual to the original background. In the IR, the resulting SQFTs flow to gapped three-dimensional systems. Using a variety of holographic observables, we give evidence for this interpretation and for confinement in the deformed SQFTs. Our method applies to any holographic solutions admitting a consistent truncation to minimal gauged supergravity, and can likely be generalized to solutions with other AdSd factors.
