Abstract

New renormalisation group flows of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories with a single gauge group SU(N ) and adjoint matter are found holographically. These RG flows have an infrared fixed point given by a CFT with mathcal{N} = 3 supersymmetry and SU(2) flavour symmetry. The ultraviolet fixed point is again described by a CFT with either mathcal{N} = 2 and SU(3) symmetry or mathcal{N} = 1 and G2 symmetry. The gauge/gravity duals of these RG flows are constructed as domain-wall solutions of a gauged supergravity model in four dimensions that enjoys an embedding into massive IIA supergravity. A concrete RG flow that brings a mass deformation of the mathcal{N} = 2 CFT into the mathcal{N} = 3 CFT at low energies is described in detail.
