Adding D7-branes to the Polchinski-Strassler gravity background
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Dieter Lust +1
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 correspon…
Adding flavour to the Polchinski-Strassler background
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Dieter Lust +1
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 confor…
Instantons on D7 brane probes and AdS/CFT with flavour
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans +2
Recent work on adding flavour to the generalized AdS/CFT correspondence is reviewed. In particular, we consider instanton configurations on two coincident D7 brane probes. These ar…
Scalar effective potential for D7 brane probes which break chiral symmetry
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans
We consider D7 brane probes embedded in deformed AdS5 x S5 supergravity backgrounds which are non-supersymmetric in the interior. In the context of the generalised AdS/CFT correspo…
Strong coupling effective Higgs potential and a first order thermal phase transition from AdS/CFT duality
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans +1
We use AdS/CFT duality to study the thermodynamics of a strongly coupled N=2 supersymmetric large Nc SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nf =2 fundamental hypermultiplets. At finite temperatu…
Confinement, Glueballs and Strings from Deformed AdS
Riccardo Apreda, David E. Crooks, Nick Evans +1
We study aspects of confinement in two deformed versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence - the GPPZ dual of N=1* Yang Mills, and the Yang Mills* N=0 dual. Both geometries describe di…
