On the holographic duals of N=1 gauge dynamics

TL;DR

This paper explores the holographic dual descriptions of various non-perturbative phenomena in N=1 confining gauge theories, including Wilson loops, flux tubes, baryons, and chiral symmetry breaking.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of how holography models key features of N=1 gauge dynamics, connecting geometric duals to physical properties.

Findings

Wilson loops exhibit a Luscher term and flux tube broadening.

Holographic models capture baryon and instanton configurations.

Chiral symmetry breaking and gluino condensate are described holographically.

Abstract

We analyze the holographic description of several properties of $\N=1$ confining gauge dynamics. In particular we discuss Wilson loops including the issues of a Luscher term and the broadening of the flux tubes, 't Hooft loops, baryons, instantons, chiral symmetry breaking, the gluino condensate and BPS domain walls.
