AdS type IIB twist as BCOV theory with a sourced five-form
AdS type IIB twist as BCOV theory with a sourced five-form
Let and let be the radius normal to . Let be the five-form specified by the source, with coefficient in the AdS background. AdS twist conjecture. The twist of type IIB supergravity on the background is BCOV theory on , with the field taking the displayed value
Here is equivalently characterized by with tempered distributional extension. The conjecture proposes that the RR five-form is the only non-metric component contributing to the twisted AdS background; this remains conjectural.
