This solution is obtained using a non-Abelian T-duality transformation on the Type IIA reduction of the AdS 4 × S 7 background. We interpret our configuration as a patch of a more...

Description
Summary:A bstract In this paper we construct a new Type IIB background with an AdS 4 factor that preserves N = 4 Supersymmetry. This solution is obtained using a non-Abelian T-duality transformation on the Type IIA reduction of the AdS 4 × S 7 background. We interpret our configuration as a patch of a more general background with localised sources, dual to the renormalisation fixed point of a T ρ ρ ^ S U N quiver field theory. This relates explicitly the AdS 4 geometry to a D3-D5-NS5 brane intersection, illuminating what seems to be a more general phenomenon, relating AdS p +1 backgrounds generated by non-Abelian T-duality to Dp - D ( p + 2)-NS5 branes intersections.
