Abstract

In the present note we review the salient features of D‐brane physics in a specific four‐dimensional non‐critical superstring theory which involves the 𝒩 = 2 SL(2)/U(1) Kazama‐Suzuki model at level 1. We pay special attention to a configuration of D3‐ and D5‐ branes that realizes 𝒩 = 1 supersymmetric QCD and briefly discuss some implications of this construction for the (non)AdS/(non)CFT correspondence in the context of non‐critical superstring theory.
