We find an exact, N=1 supersymmetric kink solution of 5d gauged supergravity. We associate this solution with the RG flow from N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, deformed by a relevant operator, to pure N=1 super Yang-Mills in the IR. We test this identification by computing various QFT quantities using the supergravity dual: the tension of electric and magnetic strings and the gaugino condensate. As demanded by our identification, our kink solution is a true deformation of N=4, that exhibits confinement of quarks, magnetic screening, and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking.

    A new covariant c-function is defined from extrinsic curvature of codimension-two bulk slices, unifying prior foliation-based definitions and exhibiting expected monotonic behavior in conformal, confining, and mixed-g...

  2. Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole solutions via imaginary scalar extensions whose holographic duals are pseudo-Hermitian and PT-symmetric, interpretable as entangled brane states.

  3. Krylov Complexity and $c$-function along RG Flows

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Along holographic RG flows, the acceleration of spread complexity and the covariant c-function are algebraically related: inversely in fixed-dimension domain walls and Dp-branes, co-monotonically in twisted compactifications.
