Non Supersymmetric Regular Solutions from Wrapped and Fractional Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present two classes of regular supergravity backgrounds dual to supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric gauge theories living on the world-volume of wrapped branes. In particular we consider the Maldacena Nuñez and the Klebanov Strassler models, describing N=1 and N=2 theories, and find their non supersymmetric generalization by explicitly solving the second order equation of motion. We also study various aspects of these solutions, including the supersymmetry breaking issue and the vacuum energy.

Gravity Duals of Fractional Branes in Various Dimensions
We derive type II supergravity solutions corresponding to space-filling regular and fractional Dp branes on (9− p)-dimensional conical transverse spaces. Fractional Dp-branes are wrapped D(p + 2)-branes; therefore, our solutions exist only if the base of the cone has a non-vanishing Betti number b2. We also consider 11-dimensional SUGRA solutions corresponding to regular and fractional M2 brane...
متن کاملA Note on Regular Type 0 Solutions and Confining Gauge Theories
We discuss some features of the regular supergravity solution for fractional branes on a deformed conifold, recently found by Klebanov-Strassler, mostly adapting it to a type 0 nonsypersymmetric context. The non-supersymmetric gauge theory is SU(M)× SU(M) with two bi-fundamental Weyl fermions. The tachyon is now stabilized by the RR antisymmetric tensor flux. We briefly discuss the most general...
متن کاملGauge Theories from D Branes
In these lectures we start with a pedagogical introduction of the properties of open and closed superstrings and then, using the open/closed string duality, we construct the boundary state that provides the description of the maximally supersymmetric Dp branes in terms of the perturbative string formalism. We then use it for deriving the corresponding supergravity solution and the Born-Infeld a...
متن کامل‘Blowing up’ D-branes on Non-supersymmetric Cycles
In the orbifold limit of K3, one can give exact conformal field theory description of D-branes wrapped on certain non-supersymmetric cycles of K3. We study the effect of switching on the ‘non-geometric blow up modes’ corresponding to anti-symmetric tensor gauge field flux through the 2-cycles on these D-branes. Working to first order in the blow up parameter, we determine the region of the modu...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Breaking from a Calabi-Yau Singularity
We conjecture a geometric criterion for determining whether supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in certain string backgrounds. These backgrounds contain wrapped branes at Calabi-Yau singularites with obstructions to deformation of the complex structure. We motivate our conjecture with a particular example: the Y 2,1 quiver gauge theory corresponding to a cone over the first del Pezzo surface,...
