String Dual of N=1 Super Yang-Mills on the Cylinder

Felipe Canoura

We study the stringy description of N=1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory on R^{1,2}xS^1. Our description is based on the known Maldacena-Nunez solution, properly modified to accou…

The supergravity dual of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories with unquenched flavors

Felipe Canoura, Paolo Merlatti, Alfonso V. Ramallo

We obtain the supergravity dual of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions with a large number of unquenched massless flavors. The geometries found are obtained by solvin…

Backreacting Flavors in the Klebanov-Strassler Background

Francesco Benini, Felipe Canoura, Stefano Cremonesi +2

In this paper we present new analytic solutions of pure Type IIB supergravity plus D7-branes describing the addition of an arbitrary number of flavors to the Klebanov-Tseytlin and…

On the M-theory description of supersymmetric gluodynamics

Felipe Canoura, Paolo Merlatti

We study the stringy description of N=1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory on R^{1,2} X S^1. Our description is based on the known Klebanov-Strassler and Maldacena-Nunez solutions,…

Unquenched Flavors in the Klebanov-Witten Model

Francesco Benini, Felipe Canoura, Stefano Cremonesi +2

Using AdS/CFT, we study the addition of an arbitrary number of backreacting flavors to the Klebanov-Witten theory, making many checks of consistency between our new Type IIB plus b…

D-brane probes on L^{abc} Superconformal Field Theories

Felipe Canoura, Jose D. Edelstein, Alfonso V. Ramallo

We study supersymmetric embeddings of D-brane probes of different dimensionality in the AdS_5xL^{abc} background of type IIB string theory. In the case of D3-branes, we recover the…
