Abstract

Recent work on adding flavour to the generalized AdS/CFT correspondence is reviewed. In particular, we consider instanton configurations on two coincident D7 brane probes. These are matched to the Higgs branch of the dual field theory. In AdS~5~ × S^5^, the instanton generates a flow of the meson spectrum. For non‐supersymmetric gravity backgrounds, the Higgs branch is lifted by a potential with non‐trivial physical implications. Based on talk given by J. Erdmenger.
