The warped deformed conifold background of type IIB theory is dual to the cascading $SU(M(p+1))\times SU(Mp)$ gauge theory. We show that this background realizes the (super-)Goldstone mechanism where the U(1) baryon number symmetry is broken by expectation values of baryonic operators. The resulting massless pseudo-scalar and scalar glueballs are identified in the supergravity spectrum. A D-string is then dual to a global string in the gauge theory. Upon compactification, the Goldstone mechanism turns into the Higgs mechanism, and the global strings turn into ANO strings.

  1. Confinement in a finite duality cascade

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic checks confirm area-law confinement, anomaly-matching domain walls via 2+1D TQFT, and unstable axionic strings implying no massless axions in this finite duality cascade model.
