abstract:

We construct new supersymmetric solutions of 11D supergravity, preserving 1/4 of the supersymmetry, that are dual to the ABJM Chern-Simons-matter theory deformed by mass terms which depend on one spatial direction. The BPS equations boil down to solving the Helmholtz equation on the complex plane giving rise to rich classes of new solutions. In particular, the construction gives rise to infinite classes of new supersymmetric “boomerang” RG flows, as well as generalising other previously known solutions.
