Elaborations on the String Dual to N=1 SQCD
Roberto Casero, Carlos Nunez, Angel Paredes
In this paper we make further refinements to the duality proposed between N=1 SQCD and certain string (supergravity plus branes) backgrounds, working in the regime of comparable la…
Chiral symmetry breaking as open string tachyon condensation
Roberto Casero, Elias Kiritsis, Angel Paredes
We consider a general framework to study holographically the dynamics of fundamental quarks in a confining gauge theory. Flavors are introduced by placing a set of (coincident) bra…
A Note on the String Dual of N=1 SQCD-like Theories
Roberto Casero, Angel Paredes
In this note we describe how N=1 SQCD-like theories with a large number of flavors can be given a dual description in terms of a string background containing a large number of addi…
Towards the String Dual of N=1 SQCD-like Theories
Roberto Casero, Carlos Nunez, Angel Paredes
We construct supergravity plus branes solutions, which we argue to be related to 4d N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential. The geometries depend on the ratio Nf/Nc which can be ke…
Non-critical holography and four-dimensional CFT's with fundamentals
F. Bigazzi, R. Casero, A. L. Cotrone +2
We find non-critical string backgrounds in five and eight dimensions, holographically related to four-dimensional conformal field theories with N=0 and N=1 supersymmetries. In the…
Phases and geometry of the N=1 A_2 quiver gauge theory and matrix models
Roberto Casero, Enrico Trincherini
We study the phases and geometry of the N=1 A_2 quiver gauge theory using matrix models and a generalized Konishi anomaly. We consider the theory both in the Coulomb and Higgs phas…
