Non Supersymmetric Regular Solutions from Wrapped and Fractional Branes
Abstract
Description
We present two classes of regular supergravity backgrounds dual to supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric gauge theories living on the world-volume of wrapped branes. In particular we consider the Maldacena Nunez and the Klebanov Strassler models, describing N=1 and N=2 theories, and find their non supersymmetric generalization by explicitly solving the second order equation of motion. We also study various aspects of these solutions, including the supersymmetry breaking issue and the vacuum energy.
