Screening effects on meson masses from holography

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Angel Paredes +1

We study the spectra of scalar and vector mesons in four dimensional strongly coupled SQCD-like theories in the Veneziano limit. The gauge theories describe the low energy dynamics…

Holographic flavor in N=4 gauge theories in 3d from wrapped branes

Alfonso V. Ramallo, Jonathan P. Shock, Dimitrios Zoakos

We study the addition of flavor to the gravity dual of N=4 three-dimensional gauge theories obtained by wrapping D4-branes on a two-cycle of a non-compact Calabi-Yau two-fold…

The Klebanov-Strassler model with massive dynamical flavors

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Angel Paredes +1

We present a fully backreacted D3-D7 supergravity solution dual to the Klebanov-Strassler cascading gauge theory coupled to a large number of massive dynamical flavors in the Venez…

String duals of two-dimensional (4,4) supersymmetric gauge theories

Daniel Arean, Paolo Merlatti, Carlos Nunez +1

We study duals to field theories in two dimensions with N=(4,4) SUSY. The string backgrounds reproduce certain non-perturbative aspects of the dual field theory with a large number…

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…

Mesons and Higgs branch in defect theories

Daniel Arean, Alfonso V. Ramallo, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez

We consider the defect theory obtained by intersecting D3- and D5-branes along two common spatial directions. We work in the approximation in which the D5-brane is a probe in the A…
