Abstract
We study supersymmetric domain walls in N=1 SU(N) gauge theory with 3 massive adjoint representation chiral multiplets. This theory, known as N=1^*, can be obtained as a massive deformation of N=4 Yang-Mills theory. Following Polchinski and Strassler, we consider the string dual of this theory in terms of spherical 5-branes and construct BPS domain walls interpolating between the many vacua. We compare our results to field theoretic domain walls and also find that this work is related to the physics of expanded ``dielectric'' branes near zero radius.
