abstract
We study the BPS domain walls of supersymmetric Yang-Mills for arbitrary gauge group. We describe the degeneracies of domain walls interpolating between arbitrary pairs of vacua. A recently proposed large N duality sheds light on various aspects of such domain walls. In particular, for the case of G = SU(N) the domain walls correspond to wrapped D-branes giving rise to a 2+1 dimensional U(k) gauge theory on the domain wall with a Chern-Simons term of level N. This leads to a counting of BPS degeneracies of domain walls in agreement with expected results.

A massive deformation of the T[SU(N)] theory is identified as the 3d SCFT realizing the RG-wall and half-BPS boundaries in 4d N=2 SU(N) SYM.
Higher-form gauge dynamics associated with domain walls produce the VY superpotential semiclassically via Z_N sectors and point-like configurations in N=1 SYM.
Holographic consistency checks confirm confinement (area law), domain-wall dynamics matching YM-CS theory, and absence of stable axionic strings in a D3/O7-conifold gauge/gravity dual.
