Gauge Theory RG Flows from a Warped Resolved Orbifold

Abstract

We study gauge-string duality of D3-branes localized at a point on the resolution of the ALE orbifold $\IC^3/\IZ_3$. By explicitly solving for the warp factor, we demonstrate the holographic RG flow from $AdS_5 \times S^5/\IZ_3$ (far away from the resolution) to the usual $Ad{S}_5\times S^5$ (close to the stack). On the gauge theory side, this maps to the flow between the quiver gauge theory and $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. We present two possible scenarios for this RG flow depending on the choice of the VEVs. In particular, one of the scenarios proceeds by two steps involving both Higgsing and confinement.
