A slice of AdS_5 as the large N limit of Seiberg duality

Understand

A slice of AdS_5 is used to provide a 5D gravitational description of 4D strongly-coupled Seiberg dual gauge theories.

• An (electric) SU(N) gauge theory in the conformal window at large N is described by the 5D bulk, while its weakly coupled (magnetic) dual is confined to the IR brane.
• This framework can be used to construct an N = 1 MSSM on the IR brane, reminiscent of the original Randall-Sundrum model.
• In addition, we use our framework to study strongly-coupled scenarios of supersymmetry breaking mediated by gauge forces.
