Abstract
We propose a holographic description of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 super Yang-Mills on the four-dimensional real projective space \( \mathbbm{RP} \)4. We first construct the dual background in the framework of five-dimensional \( \mathcal{N} \) = 8 gauged supergravity, and then uplift it to a new one-half BPS solution of type IIB supergravity. A salient feature of our solution is the presence of a bulk naked singularity whose local behavior resembles that of an O1− plane in flat space.
