The Supergravity Dual of N=1 Super Yang-Mills Theory
read the original abstract
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.

Covariant unification of holographic c-functions
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...

Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals
Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole and flow solutions via imaginary scalar extensions, interpreted as dual to pseudo-Hermitian PT-symmetric theories and entangled brane-antibrane states.
