We study N=1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N=4 Yang-Mills theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended brane source, arising from Myers' dielectric effect. The source consists of one or more (p,q) 5-branes. In particular, the confining vacuum contains an NS5-brane; the confining flux tube is a fundamental string bound to the 5-brane. The system admits a simple quantitative description as a perturbation of a state on the N=4 Coulomb branch. Various nonperturbative phenomena, including flux tubes, baryon vertices, domain walls, condensates and instantons, have new, quantitatively precise, dual descriptions. We also briefly consider two QCD-like theories. Our method extends to the nonsupersymmetric case. As expected, the N=4 matter cannot be decoupled within the supergravity regime.

Holographic RG flows and wormholes from sinusoidal scalars
For d=3, Δ=2 Einstein-scalar gravity with sinusoidal sources on two R^3 boundaries, the large wormhole dominates the path integral whenever wormholes exist, and there is no Hawking-Page-like subdominant regime.

Formation and scaling of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ strings for global $\mathrm{SU}(N)/\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry
In a global SU(N)/Z_N scalar model, Z_N-string networks with baryon-vertex-like junctions reach a scaling regime for N=2,3,4,5,8, with string density proportional to N^2-1.

Krylov Complexity for Plane Wave Matrix Model
In reduced BMN matrix models, Lanczos coefficients scale linearly with the mass parameter, producing quadratic corrections to early-time Krylov complexity growth at the same order for both state and operator versions.

Gauge Symmetries, Contact Reduction, and Singular Field Theories
Singular (gauge) theories with a global scaling symmetry can be reduced to an equivalent frictional theory, and the order of constraint-imposition and scale-reduction does not matter.

From Confinement to Chaos in AdS/CFT Correspondence via Non-equilibrium Local States
In holographic confining backgrounds, temporal peak statistics of boundary correlators after local quenches approach the Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble for heavy operators and, in capped BTZ, even for massless ones.

Hot Holographic 2-flavor Quark Star
Hot quark stars built from a two-flavor holographic QCD equation of state reach masses of 2 to 17 solar masses and could mimic black holes.

On the Underlying Nonrelativistic Nature of Relativistic Holography
Standard AdS/CFT duality is reinterpreted as D-brane/black-brane duality in nonrelativistic D3-brane theory, with AdS5×S5 as a relativistic bubble in flat 3-Newton-Cartan geometry.
