On the holographic dual of N=1 SQCD with massive flavors

Understand

We construct holographic duals to N=1 SQCD with a quartic superpotential and unquenched massive flavors.

• Our backgrounds are generated by D5-branes wrapping two-dimensional submanifolds of an internal space.
• The flavor degrees of freedom are introduced by means of D5-branes extended along two-dimensional calibrated surfaces, and act as sources of the different supergravity fields.
• The backgrounds we get include the backreaction of the flavor branes and generalize the geometries obtained so far to the case in which the fundamental matter is massive.
