Supergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
نویسنده
چکیده
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the general philosophy underlying the various ways to realize Super YangMills theories in terms of systems of branes. We then review some of the existing duals for N = 2 and N = 1 theories. We also discuss differences and similarities with realistic theories. e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Gauge/gravity correspondence in accelerating universe
We discuss time-dependent backgrounds of type IIB supergravity realizing gravitation duals of gauge theories formulated in de Sitter space-time as a tool of embedding de Sitter in a supergravity. We show that only the gravitational duals to non-conformal gauge theories are sensitive to a specific value of a Hubble parameter. We consider two nontrivial solutions of this type: a gravity dual to s...

متن کاملSingularity Resolution in Gauged Supergravity and Conifold Unification
We obtain a unified picture for the conifold singularity resolution. We propose that gauged supergravity, through a novel prescription for the twisting, provides an appropriate framework to smooth out singularities in the context of gravity duals of supersymmetric gauge theories.
متن کاملSuperconformal Gauge Theory
Coincident D3-branes placed at a conical singularity are related to string theory on AdS5 ×X5, for a suitable five-dimensional Einstein manifold X5. For the example of the conifold, which leads to X5 = T 1,1 = (SU(2)× SU(2))/U(1), the infrared limit of the theory on N D3-branes was constructed recently. This is N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N) × SU(N) gauge theory coupled to four bifundamental chiral...
متن کاملWilson loops, confinement, and phase transitions in large N gauge theories from supergravity
We use the recently proposed supergravity approach to large N gauge theories to calculate ordinary and spatial Wilson loops of gauge theories in various dimensions. In this framework we observe an area law for spatial Wilson loops in four and five dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills at finite temperature. This can be interpreted as the area law of ordinary Wilson loops in three and four dimen...
