AdS Moduli Spaces
Hagen Triendl (CERN)


I will discuss moduli spaces of supersymmetric AdS vacua in various dimensions. I will show how supersymmetry dictates certain geometric structures on these moduli space. In cases with enough supersymmetry, the moduli space can even be fixed completely. This gives strong implications for the large-N behavior of dual superconformal field theories. In particular, the conformal manifold and the sphere partition function of four-dimensional N=2 SCFTs can be determined in the large-N limit.
