Holographic analysis of Romans supergravity solutions with Abelian magnetic flux yields a family of confining 4D duals featuring a flux-driven first-order deconfinement transition and two parametrically light, nearly degenerate scalar bound states near the transition.

abstract
We demonstrate a classical equivalence between the large-N limit of the Higgsed N=1* SUSY U(N) Yang-Mills theory and the Maldacena-Nunez twisted compactification of a six dimensional gauge theory on a two-sphere. A direct comparison of the actions and spectra of the two theories reveals them to be identical. We also propose a gauge theory limit which should describe the corresponding spherical compactification of Little String Theory.

Bound states and deconfinement from Romans supergravity with magnetic flux
Holographic analysis of Romans supergravity solutions with Abelian magnetic flux yields a family of confining 4D duals featuring a flux-driven first-order deconfinement transition and two parametrically light, nearly degenerate scalar bound states near the transition.
