“…which is exactly the mass of N/2 − q fundamental strings in the background (21). Again this is consistent with the fact that most of the mass comes from the θ = 0 region, where the D2-brane has collapsed to N/2 − q fundamental strings.…”

We find explicit probe D3-brane solutions in the infrared of the Maldacena-Nuñez background. The solutions describe deformed baryon vertices: q external quarks are separated in spacetime from the remaining N − q. As the separation is taken to infinity we recover known solutions describing infinite confining strings in N = 1 gauge theory. We present results for the mass of finite confining strings as a function of length. We also find probe D2-brane solutions in a confining type IIA geometry, the reduction of a G2 holonomy M theory background. The relation between these deformed baryons and confining strings is not as straightforward.

“…In the Maldacena-Nuñez solution the baryon vertex is a D3-brane wrapping a nontrivial S 3 of the background [21]. For the IIA background it has been proposed that the baryon vertex is a D2-brane wrapping an S 2 [22].…”

In this paper we study the conjectural relation between confinement in a quantum field theory and the presence of a phase transition in its corresponding entanglement entropy. We determine the sufficient conditions for the latter and compare to the conditions for having a confining Wilson line. We demonstrate the relation in several examples. Superficially, it may seem that certain confining field theories with a non-local high energy behavior, like the dual of D5 branes wrapping a two-cycle, do not admit the corresponding phase transition. However, upon closer inspection we find that, through the introduction of a regulating UV-cutoff, new eight-surface configurations appear, that satisfy the correct concavity condition and recover the phase transition in the entanglement entropy. We show that a local-UV-completion to the confining non-local theories has a similar effect to that of the aforementioned cutoff.

“…We reviewed the singular solution (29,30,31) and the smooth Chamseddine-Volkov solution (43,44,45) of that Lagrangian and studied their symmetries. We then took the scalars to be proportional to the small parameter ǫ, and wrote their linearized (that is, O(ǫ)) equations of motion.…”

We study a deformation of the type IIB Maldacena-Nuñez background which arises as the near-horizon limit of NS5 branes wrapped on a two-cycle. This background is dual to a "little string theory" compactified on a two-sphere, a theory which at low energies includes four-dimensional N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory. The deformation we study corresponds to a mass term for some of the scalar fields in this theory, and it breaks supersymmetry completely. In the language of seven-dimensional SO(4) gauged supergravity the deformation involves (at leading order) giving a VEV, depending only on the radial coordinate, to a particular scalar field. We explicitly construct the corresponding solution at leading order in the deformation, both in seven-dimensional and in ten-dimensional supergravity, and we verify that it completely breaks supersymmetry. Since the original background had a mass gap and we are performing a small deformation, the deformed background is guaranteed to be stable even though it is not supersymmetric.1 E-mail : Ofer.Aharony@weizmann.ac.il.
