New Supergravity Backgrounds Dual to N=1 SQCD-like Theories with Nf=2Nc
Abstract
We present new supergravity backgrounds generated by Nc D5-branes, wrapping the S2 of the resolved conifold, in the presence of Nf = 2 Nc smeared flavor D5-branes. The smearing allows us to take their backreaction on the geometry into account. We discuss the consistency, stability, and supersymmetry of these types of setups. We find near horizon geometries that we expect to be supergravity duals of SQCD-like theories with Nf= 2Nc. From these backgrounds we numerically extract rectangular Wilson loops and beta functions of the dual field theory for the regime where our approximations are valid.
