We study the N = 2 supersymmetric analog of the Klebanov-Strassler system. We first review the resolution of singularities by the enhancon mechanism, and the physics of fractional branes on an orbifold. We then describe the exact N = 2 solution. This exhibits a duality cascade as in the N = 1 case, but the singularity resolution is the characteristic N = 2 enhancon. We discuss some related solutions and open issues.

  • As explained in [ref] , the idea is to match the brane charges of the supergravity solution at some value of $r$ with the charges of a system of fractional branes that, in the presence of the same closed string fields as those of the supergravity solution, engineers the field theory: in this way one reads the effective theory at the scale $μ$.

  • Despite having been introduced long ago in the context of gauge/string duality [ref] following pioneering works on D-branes on orbifolds [ref] and their embedding in AdS/CFT [ref] , only very recently the field-theoretic interpretation of the type IIB near-horizon backgrounds generated by the backreaction of $=2$ fractional D3-branes at the $×^2/_2$ orbifold singularity was fully teased out [ref] , settling a long-standing issue in the literature [ref] .
