$\mathcal{I}$/$c$-extremization in M/F-duality

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: We study the holographic dual to c c -extremization for 2d (0,2) ( 0 , 2 ) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that have an AdS _3 3 dual realized in Type IIB with varying axio-dilaton, i.e. F-theory. M/F-duality implies that such AdS _3 3 solutions can be mapped to AdS _2 2 solutions in M-theory, which are holographically dual to superconformal quantum mechanics (SCQM), obtained by dimensional reduction of the 2d SCFTs. We analyze the corresponding map between holographic c c -extremization in F-theory and \mathcal{I} ℐ -extremization in M-theory, where in general the latter receives corrections relative to the F-theory result.
