Abstract:
We discuss the AdS7/CFT6
correspondence with sixteen supercharges,
focusing on the gravity side. The six-
dimensional field theories are (1, 0)
supersymmetric and represent the low-
energy dynamics of NS5-D6-D8-brane
configurations. The gravity duals are AdS7
solutions of massive IIA supergravity. In
addition, we present lower-dimensional anti-
deSitter solutions, as duals to
compactifications of the sixdimensional field
theories.
