Résumé : The addition of supersymmetric Chern-Simons terms to N= 8 super-Yang-Mills theory in three-dimensions is expected to make the latter flow into infrared super-conformal phases. We address this problem holographically by studying the effect of the Romans mass on the D2-brane near-horizon geometry. Working in a consistent, effective four-dimensional setting provided by D = 4 N= 8 supergravity with a dyonic ISO(7) gauging, we verify the existence of a rich web of supersymmetric domain walls triggered by the Romans mass that interpolate between the (four-dimensional description of the) D2-brane and various superconformal phases. We also construct domain walls for which both endpoints are superconformal. While most of our results are numerical, we provide analytic results for the SU(3) × U(1)-invariant flow into an N= 2 conformal phase recently discovered.
