The supergravity dual of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories with unquenched flavors

Understand

We obtain the supergravity dual of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions with a large number of unquenched massless flavors.

• The geometries found are obtained by solving the equations of motion of supergravity coupled to a suitable continuous distribution of flavor branes.
• The background obtained preserves two supersymmetries.
• We find that when N_c\ge 2N_f the behavior of the solutions is compatible with having an asymptotically free dual gauge theory with dynamical quarks.
