Contribution

It introduces novel TsT-deformed supergravity backgrounds of confining theories and systematically studies their holographic properties.

Findings

Deformation types significantly alter Wilson and 't Hooft loop behaviors.

Holographic observables reveal changes in confinement characteristics.

Central charge and entanglement entropy vary with different deformations.

Abstract

We construct new families of type-IIB supergravity solutions by employing TsT transformations on the ten-dimensional geometry that arises after the uplift of the five-dimensional soliton solution of Anabal\'on, Nastase, and Oyarzo. In particular, we identify two marginal and two dipole deformations of the uplifted geometry. We then analyse a plethora of holographic observables -- including Wilson loops, `t~Hooft loops, Page charges, entanglement entropy, and central charge -- and compare their behaviour across the different deformed backgrounds.
