Perturbations and Supersymmetries in AdS_3/CFT_2

Symmetry breaking by perturbations in the AdS/CFT correspondence is discussed. Perturbations of vector fields to the AdS_3 x S^3 solution of the six-dimensional N=(4,4) supergravity are considered. These perturbations are identified as descendents of chiral primary operators of a two-dimensional N=(4,4) CFT with conformal weight (2,2) or (1,1). We examine unbroken symmetries by the perturbations in the CFT side as well as in the supergravity side and find the same result: the N=(4,2) or N=(2,4) Poincare supersymmetry for the (2,2) perturbation and the N=(0,4) or N=(4,0) superconformal symmetry for the (1,1) perturbation.

Three-Form Flux with N=2 Supersymmetry on AdS_5 x S^5

In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence the general form of a three-form flux perturbation to the AdS_5 x S^5 solution in the type IIB supergravity which preserves N=2 supersymmetry is obtained. The arbitrary holomorphic function appearing in the N=1 case studied by Grana and Polchinski is restricted to a quadratic function of the coordinates transverse to the D3-branes.

Local Symmetries in the AdS_7/CFT_6 Correspondence

It is shown that local symmetry transformations of the maximal AdS supergravity in seven-dimensional anti de Sitter space induce those of the N=(2,0) conformal supergravity on the six-dimensional boundary at infinity. Boundary values of the AdS supergravity fields form a supermultiplet of the conformal supergravity.

Super Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Anomalies of N = (4,4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the superconformal field theories have the central charge expected in the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Supersymmetry in the AdS/CFT Correspondence

We study how local symmetry transformations of (p, q) anti de Sitter supergravities in three dimensions act on fields on the two-dimensional boundary. The boundary transformation laws are shown to be the same as those of two-dimensional (p, q) conformal supergravities for p, q \leq 2. Weyl and super Weyl transformations are generated from three-dimensional general coordinate and super transformations.
