We consider D-branes at orientifold singularities and discuss two properties of the corresponding low energy four-dimensional effective theories which are not shared, generically, by other Calabi-Yau singularities. The first property is that duality cascades are finite and, unlike ordinary ones, do not require an infinite number of degrees of freedom to be UV-completed. The second is that orientifolds tend to stabilize runaway directions. These two properties can have interesting implications and widen in an intriguing way the variety of gauge theories one can describe using D-branes.

Gravity, finite duality cascades and confinement
The authors construct and test a Type IIB supergravity dual of a finite duality cascade on an orientifolded conifold, flowing from a UV conformal manifold to a confining vacuum.
