چکیده
We motivate and summarize our analysis of hep-th/0610276 in which we consider D7-brane probe embeddings in the Polchinski-Strassler background with N = 2 supersymmetry. The corresponding dual gauge theory is given by the N = 2 theory with fundamental matter. Based on a talk given by C. Sieg at the RTN Workshop 2006, Napoli. ∗[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] .

Adding flavour to the Polchinski-Strassler background
As an extension of holography with flavour, we analyze in detail the embedding of a D7-brane probe into the Polchinski-Strassler gravity background, in which the breaking of conformal symmetry is induced by a 3-form flux G3. This corresponds to giving masses to the adjoint chiral multiplets. We consider the N = 2 supersymmetric case in which one of the adjoint chiral multiplets is kept massless...
متن کاملUnquenched flavors in the Klebanov-Strassler theory
We present an analytic solution of type IIB supergravity plus D7-branes, describing the addition of any number of flavors to the Klebanov-Strassler background. The dual field theory and its self-similar RG flow, described by a cascade of Seiberg dualities also in the presence of flavors, are discussed. The solution indicates that the dual gauge theory enjoys a duality wall in the UV. We stress ...
متن کاملN = 2 Gauge-gravity Duals
We study the N = 2 analog of the Klebanov-Strassler system. We first review the resolution of singularities by the enhançon mechanism, and the physics of fractional branes on an orbifold. We then describe the exact N = 2 solution. This exhibits a duality cascade as in the N = 1 case, but the singularity resolution is the characteristic N = 2 enhançon. We discuss some related solutions and open ...
متن کاملThe M - theory dual of a 3 dimensional theory with reduced supersymmetry
In a recent paper, Polchinski and Strassler found a string theory dual of a gauge theory with reduced supersymmetry. Motivated by their approach, we perturb the N = 8 theory living on a set of N M2 branes to N = 2, by adding fermion mass terms. We obtain M-theory duals corresponding to M2 branes polarized into M5 branes, in AdS4 × S7. In the course of doing this we come across an interesting fe...
متن کاملD7-Brane Motion from M-Theory Cycles and Obstructions in the Weak Coupling Limit
Motivated by the desire to do proper model building with D7-branes and fluxes, we study the motion of D7-branes on a Calabi-Yau orientifold from the perspective of F-theory. We consider this approach promising since, by working effectively with an elliptically fibred M-theory compactification, the explicit positioning of D7-branes by (M-theory) fluxes is straightforward. The locations of D7-bra...
