| Abstract: |
We study N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory compactified on an S1 at zero temperature, with VEVs for two scalar bilinears and three independent current sources. We show that type IIB supergravity provides a complete holographic description of this setup, admitting both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric AdS-soliton solutions that are asymptotically AdS5 and smooth in the IR. The current sources correspond in 2+1 dimensions to Q-ball charge densities for U(1)3 ⊂ SO(6)R, and are geometrically realized as twists along three angular directions of the S5. We demonstrate that the bulk dynamics encodes the full vacuum structure of the dual field theory and explicitly reconstruct the supersymmetric moduli space. |
