A stable supergravity dual of non-supersymmetric glue
A stable supergravity dual of non-supersymmetric glue
We study nonsupersymmetric fermion mass and condensate deformations of the AdS conformal field theory correspondence. The five dimensional supergravity flows are lifted to a complete and remarkably simple ten dimensional background. A brane probe analysis shows that when all the fermions have an equal mass a positive mass is generated for all six scalar fields leaving nonsupersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the deep infrared. We numerically determine the potential, produced by the background, in the Schrödinger equation relevant to the study of O++ glueballs. The potential is a bounded well, providing evidence of stability and for a discrete, confined spectrum. The geometry can also describe the supergravity background around an (unstable) fuzzy 5-brane.

Abstract
We study nonsupersymmetric fermion mass and condensate deformations of the AdS conformal field theory correspondence. The five dimensional supergravity flows are lifted to a complete and remarkably simple ten dimensional background. A brane probe analysis shows that when all the fermions have an equal mass a positive mass is generated for all six scalar fields leaving nonsupersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the deep infrared. We numerically determine the potential, produced by the background, in the Schrödinger equation relevant to the study of O++ glueballs. The potential is a bounded well, providing evidence of stability and for a discrete, confined spectrum. The geometry can also describe the supergravity background around an (unstable) fuzzy 5-brane.
