We discuss a solution of the equations of motion of five-dimensional gauged type IIB supergravity that describes confining SU(N) gauge theories at large N and large 't Hooft parameter. We prove confinement by computing the Wilson loop, and we show that our solution is generic, independent of most of the details of the theory. In particular, the Einstein-frame metric near its singularity, and the condensates of scalar, composite operators are universal. Also universal is the discreteness of the glueball mass spectrum and the existence of a mass gap. The metric is also identical to a generically confining solution recently found in type 0B theory.

  1. Improved Holographic QCD on a Curved Background: an Application of Dynamical System Theory in Holography

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For the critical exponent b=b_c, IHQCD (alpha=1/2) admits only regular endpoint-type solutions at positive curvature and singular acceptable solutions at negative curvature, so the curvature-driven transition occurs at R=0.

  2. Holographic RG flows and wormholes from sinusoidal scalars

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Supersymmetric AdS Solitons, Coulomb Branch Flows and Twisted Compactifications

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Constructs holographic supergravity solutions for supersymmetric RG flows from 4D SCFTs to confining 3D SQFTs, with universal factorization of observables.

  4. Interplay of magnetic field and chemical potential induced anisotropy and frame dependent chaos of a $Q\bar{Q}$ pair in holographic QCD

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a holographic QCD model, chaotic string dynamics appear only for unstable configurations near the horizon, and magnetic field and chemical potential affect chaos oppositely in string and Einstein frames.
