abstract

We present the holographic dual to a family of ${\cal N}=1$ SCFTs in four dimensions, deformed by a VEV leading to a gapped system. We calculate Wilson loops in this system containing adjoint, bifundamental and fundamental matter. We calculate the quark-antiquark energy $E$ in terms of their separation $L$, finding an approximate analytic expression for $E(L)$. This expression shows the transition between conformal, confining and screened behaviours. Interesting phenomenology is discussed in a variety of examples. The tool used is the minimization of the F1 string action, for which the code used is made publicly available.

  1. Exact Schwarzian Metric Factor and Holographic Wilson-Loop Screening

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact Schwarzian averaging yields a completely monotone metric factor with no confining minimum, so the Wilson-loop potential screens as E(L) ~ -κ_IR/L² rather than confining.

  2. Universal Observables, SUSY RG-Flows and Holography

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New Type IIB, 11d, and Type IIA supergravity flows dual to twisted-compactified 4d SCFTs yield a universal factorization of Wilson loops, flow central charges, and complexity.

  3. Supersymmetric Moduli Space and Vacua with Vector Fields in $D=4$ Gauged $\mathcal{N}=8$ Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Four-charge supersymmetric AdS solitons in the dilatonic STU model have a compact moduli space fixed by |ψ₁|+|ψ₂|+|ψ₃|+|ψ₄|=√2 L, with scalar VEVs determined by the Wilson lines.
