Supergravity and a Confining Gauge Theory: Duality Cascades and SB-Resolution of Naked Singularities

Igor R. Klebanov, Matthew J. Strassler

We revisit the singular IIB supergravity solution describing M fractional 3-branes on the conifold [hep-th/0002159]. Its 5-form flux decreases, which we explain by showing that the…

Suppressing Flavor Anarchy

Ann E. Nelson, Matthew J. Strassler

We present a new mechanism, which does not require any flavor symmetry, to explain the small Yukawa couplings and CKM mixing angles. The Yukawa matrices are assumed to be random at…

The String Dual of a Confining Four-Dimensional Gauge Theory

Joseph Polchinski, Matthew J. Strassler

We study N=1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N=4 Yang-Mills theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended brane…
