“…Notice, that the argument is not much different from the one that runs in determining the 'period' of the R-symmetry coordinate ψ -reflecting the presence of the U(1) R -anomaly -in dual to N = 1 QFT, see for example the papers [6,7,60]. Indeed, the point made in [37] was that when we cross the boundaries ρ = π, 2π, 3π, 4π .…”

Abstract:We use non-Abelian T-duality to construct new N = 1 solutions of type IIA supergravity (and their M-theory lifts) that interpolate between AdS 5 geometries. We initiate a study of the holographic interpretation of these backgrounds as RG flows between conformal fixed points. Along the way we give an elegant formulation of non-Abelian Tduality when acting on a wide class of backgrounds, including those corresponding to such flows, in terms of their SU(2) structure.

“…As explained in [20], the anomaly-related R-symmetry breaking in the Klebanov-Strassler solution from U(1) to Z 2M is visible through the behavior of the C 2 Ramond-Ramond gauge field. In our solution, F 3 and hence C 2 are completely unchanged from their background value.…”

“…The preserved symmetries of this background are SO(3, 1) of the four-dimensional x µ along with the SU(2) 1 × SU(2) 2 × Z 2M × Z 2 of the T 1,1 ; the SU(2)s act on the two-spheres associated to θ 1 , φ 1 and θ 2 , φ 2 , and the Z 2 exchanges them. The metric possesses a U(1) ψ acting on the ψ-coordinate, which is respected by the other field strengths but broken to Z 2M by any concrete expression for the potential C 2 [20]. This is broken further to Z 2 in the full KS solution, reflecting the fermion condensate in the IR.…”

Gravity dual of metastable dynamical supersymmetry breaking

Metastable, supersymmetry-breaking configurations can be created in flux geometries by placing antibranes in warped throats. Via gauge/gravity duality, such configurations should have an interpretation as supersymmetry-breaking states in the dual field theory. In this paper, we perturbatively determine the asymptotic supergravity solutions corresponding to D3-brane probes placed at the tip of the cascading warped deformed conifold geometry, which is dual to an SU(N +M)×SU(N) gauge theory. The backreaction of the antibranes has the effect of introducing imaginary anti-self-dual flux, squashing the compact part of the space and forcing the dilaton to run. Using the generalization of holographic renormalization to cascading geometries, we determine the expectation values of operators in the dual field theory in terms of the asymptotic values of the supergravity fields.

“…The RG flows are related by supersymmetry to the θ-angles of the gauge theory. This relationship was studied on the conifold in [29]; more detailed supergravity analysis appears in [30,31,32].…”

Holomorphic D7-branes and flavored gauge theories

We consider D7-branes in the gauge theory/string theory correspondence, using a probe approximation. The D7-branes have four directions embedded holomorphically in a non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold (which for specificity we take to be the conifold) and their remaining four directions are parallel to a stack of D3-branes transverse to the Calabi-Yau space. The dual gauge theory, which has N = 1 supersymmetry, contains quarks which transform in the fundamental representation of the gauge group, and we identify the interactions of these quarks in terms of a superpotential. By activating three-form fluxes in the gravity background, we obtain a dual gauge theory with a cascade of Seiberg dualities. We find a supersymmetric supergravity solution for the leading backreaction effects of the D7-branes, valid for large radius. The cascading theory with flavors exhibits the interesting phenomenon that the rate of the cascade slows and can stop as the theory flows to the infrared.
