Supergravity Dual of 4d CFT's Universal Sector

I will discuss the structure of 5d supergravity dual to the universal gauge sector of $N=1$ CFT's. This model follows from a consistent truncation of type IIB string theory on 5-dimensional squashed Sasaki–Einstein manifolds and allows for interesting applications in the context of the gauge/gravity correspondence.
