Non-perturbative gauge superpotentials from supergravity
Abstract
We study U(N) SQCD with Nf <= N flavors of quarks and antiquarks by engineering it with a configuration of fractional D3-branes on a C3 / Z2 x Z2 orbifold. In particular we show how the moduli space of the gauge theory naturally emerges from the classical geometry produced by the D3-branes, and how the non-perturbatively generated superpotential is recovered from geometrical data.
