We investigate a family of SU(3)$times$U(1)$times$U(1)-invariant holographic flows and Janus solutions obtained from gauged $mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity in four dimensions. We give complete details of how to use the uplift formulae to obtain the corresponding solutions in M theory. While the flow solutions appear to be singular from the four-dimensional perspective, we find that the eleven-dimensional solutions are much better behaved and give rise to interesting new classes of compactification geometries that are smooth, up to orbifolds, in the infra-red limit. Our solutions involve new phases in which M2 branes polarize partially or even completely into M5 branes. We derive the eleven-dimensional supersymmetries and show that the eleven-dimensional equations of motion and BPS equations are indeed satisfied as a consequence of their four-dimensional counterparts. Apart from elucidating a whole new class of eleven-dimensional Janus and flow solutions, our work provides extensive and highly non-trivial tests of the recently-derived uplift formulae.

We discuss a possibility of restricting parameters in $mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity based on axion observations. We derive conditions that prepotential and gauge couplings should satisfy. Such conditions not only allow us to constrain the theory but also provide the lower bound of $mathcal{N}=2rightarrowmathcal{N}=1$ breaking scale.
We consider N=1 supersymmetric renormalization group flows of N=4 Yang-Mills theory from the perspective of ten-dimensional IIB supergravity. We explicitly construct the complete ten-dimensional lift of the flow in which exactly one chiral superfield becomes massive (the LS flow). We also examine the ten-dimensional metric and dilaton configurations for the ``super-QCD flow (the GPPZ flow) in which all chiral superfields become massive. We show that the latter flow generically gives rise to a dielectric 7-brane in the infra-red, but the solution contains a singularity that may be interpreted as a ``duality averaged ring distribution of 5-branes wrapped on S^2. At special values of the parameters the singularity simplifies to a pair of S-dual branes with (p,q) charge (1,pm 1).
We obtain cosmological solutions with Kasner-like asymptotics in N=2 gauged and ungauged supergravity by maximal analytic continuation of plan
We obtain Yang-Mills $SU(2)times G$ gauged supergravity in three dimensions from $SU(2)$ group manifold reduction of (1,0) six dimensional supergravity coupled to an anti-symmetric tensor multiplet and gauge vector multiplets in the adjoint of $G$. The reduced theory is consistently truncated to $N=4$ 3D supergravity coupled to $4(1+textrm{dim}, G)$ bosonic and $4(1+textrm{dim}, G)$ fermionic propagating degrees of freedom. This is in contrast to the reduction in which there are also massive vector fields. The scalar manifold is $mathbf{R}times frac{SO(3,, textrm{dim}, G)}{SO(3)times SO(textrm{dim}, G)}$, and there is a $SU(2)times G$ gauge group. We then construct $N=4$ Chern-Simons $(SO(3)ltimes mathbf{R}^3)times (Gltimes mathbf{R}^{textrm{dim}G})$ three dimensional gauged supergravity with scalar manifold $frac{SO(4,,1+textrm{dim}G)}{SO(4)times SO(1+textrm{dim}G)}$ and explicitly show that this theory is on-shell equivalent to the Yang-Mills $SO(3)times G$ gauged supergravity theory obtained from the $SU(2)$ reduction, after integrating out the scalars and gauge fields corresponding to the translational symmetries $mathbf{R}^3times mathbf{R}^{textrm{dim}, G}$.
Similarly to the bosonic Liouville theory, the $mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Liouville theory was conjectured to be equipped with the duality that exchanges the superpotential and the Kahler potential. The conjectured duality, however, seems to suffer from a mismatch of the preserved symmetries. More than fifteen years ago, when I was a student, my supervisor Tohru Eguchi gave a beautiful resolution of the puzzle when the supersymmetry is enhanced to $mathcal{N}=4$ based on his insight into the underlying geometric structure of the $A_1$ singularity. I will review his unpublished but insightful idea and present our attempts to extend it to more general cases.
