Unquenched flavors in the Klebanov-Strassler theory

We present an analytic solution of type IIB supergravity plus D7‐branes, describing the addition of any number of flavors to the Klebanov‐Strassler background. The dual field theory and its self‐similar RG flow, described by a cascade of Seiberg dualities also in the presence of flavors, are discuss...

Zusammenfassung:We present an analytic solution of type IIB supergravity plus D7‐branes, describing the addition of any number of flavors to the Klebanov‐Strassler background. The dual field theory and its self‐similar RG flow, described by a cascade of Seiberg dualities also in the presence of flavors, are discussed. The solution indicates that the dual gauge theory enjoys a duality wall in the UV. We stress the correspondence between Seiberg duality on the field theory side, and large gauge transformations on the RR and NSNS potentials on the gravity side. This contribution is mostly based on [1].
