Fluxes, Tadpoles and Holography for N=1 Super Yang Mills

Abstract

We study non perturbative superpotentials for N=1 super Yang Mills from the point of view of large $N$ dualities. Starting with open topological strings we work out the relation between the closed string sector dilaton tadpole, which appears in the annulus amplitude, and NSNS fluxes in the closed string dual on the resolved conifold. For the mirror closed string dual version on the deformed conifold we derive, for a non vanishing $G_3$ form, the $N$ supersymmetric vacua and the transformations of $G_3$ through domain walls. Finally, as an extension of Fischler Susskind mechanism we find a direct relation between the dilaton tadpole and the geometric warping factors induced by the gravitational backreaction of NSNS fluxes.
