Abstract
The holographic description of supersymmetric RG flows in supergravity is considered from both the five-dimensional and ten-dimensional perspectives. An N=1* flow of N=4 super-Yang Mills is considered in detail, and the infra-red limit is studied in terms of IIB supergravity in ten dimensions. Depending on the vevs and the direction of approach to the core, the supergravity solution can be interpreted in terms of either 5-branes or 7-branes. Generally, it is shown that it is essential to use the ten-dimensional description in order to study the infra-red asymptotics in supergravity.
