Structures in the Gauge/Gravity Duality Cascade
Abstract
We study corrections to the anomalous mass dimension and their effects in the Seiberg duality cascade in the Klebanov-Strassler throat, where supersymmetric gauge theory with bifundamental chiral superfields and a quartic tree level superpotential in four dimensions is dual to type IIB string theory on background. Analyzing the renormalization group flow of the couplings on the gauge theory side, we propose specific corrections to the anomalous mass dimension. Applying gauge/gravity duality, we then show that the corrections reveal structures on the supergravity side with steps appearing in the running of the fluxes and the metric. The "charges" at the steps provide a gravitational source for Seiberg duality transformations. The finiteness of these corrections suggests that the theory flows to a baryonic branch rather than to a confining branch. The cosmological implication of the duality cascade and the gauge/gravity duality on the brane inflationary scenario and the cosmic microwave background radiation is pointed out.
