NS5 Branes on the Resolved Cone over $Y^{p,q}$

ORAL

Abstract

The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a powerful tool to attack strong coupling dynamics using gravitational duals. The Klebanov-Stassler prototype has a large family of duals that contain $\mathcal{N}$=1 SYM. A new and distinct family of supergravity solutions containing a sector dual to $\mathcal{N}$=1 confining gauge theories might be related to the resolved cone over $Y^{p,q}$. We present a generalized solution for NS5 branes wrapped on 2-cycles on the resolved cone over $Y^{p,q}$.
