We revisit the singular IIB supergravity solution describing M-fractional 3-branes on the
conifold [hep-th/0002159]. Its 5-form flux decreases, which we explain by showing that the …

The type-IIB supergravity solution describing a collection of regular and fractional D3-branes
on the conifold (hep-th/0002159) was recently generalized to the case of the deformed …

We consider D7-branes in the gauge theory/string theory correspondence, using a probe
approximation. The D7-branes have four directions embedded holomorphically in a non …

We assemble a few remarks on the supergravity solution of hep-th/0007191, whose UV
asymptotic form was previously found in hep-th/0002159. First, by normalizing the RR fluxes …

We investigate solutions of type II supergravity which have the product Bbb R 1, 3× M 6
structure with non-compact M 6 factor and which preserve at least four supersymmetries. In …

A bstract In this paper we study bulk viscosity in a thermal QCD model with large number of
colors at two extreme limits: the very weak and the very strong't Hooft couplings. The weak …

We study D7 brane probes holomorphically embedded in the Klebanov-Strassler model.
Analyzing the κ-symmetry condition for D7 branes wrapping a 4-cycle of a deformed conifold …

We incorporate massive flavored fundamental quarks in the supergravity dual of Script N= 1
SYM by introducing D7 brane probes to the Klebanov Strassler background. We find probe …

In some models of N= 1 supersymmetric SU (M) gauge dynamics (Nucl. Phys. B 447 (1995)
271 and Nucl. Phys. B 513 (1998) 87), the tension of a string ending on q external quarks is …

We review extensions of the AdS/CFT correspondence to gauge/gravity dualities with N= 1
supersymmetry. In particular, we describe the gauge/gravity dualities that emerge from …
