The N=2 cascade revisited and the enhancon bearings
Francesco Benini, Matteo Bertolini, Cyril Closset +1
Supergravity backgrounds with varying fluxes generated by fractional branes at non-isolated Calabi-Yau singularities had escaped a precise dual field theory interpretation so far.…

Unquenched flavors in the Klebanov-Strassler theory
Stefano Cremonesi
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 theor…

Gauge/gravity duality and the interplay of various fractional branes
Riccardo Argurio, Francesco Benini, Matteo Bertolini +2
We consider different types of fractional branes on a Z_2 orbifold of the conifold and analyze in detail the corresponding gauge/gravity duality. The gauge theory possesses a rich…
