Abstract

We summarize our recent work on supergravity backgrounds dual to part of the Coulomb branch of 𝒩 = 1 theories constructed as marginal deformations of 𝒩 = 4 Yang–Mills. In particular, we present a summary of the behaviour of the heavy quark‐antiquark potential which shows confining behaviour in the IR as well as of the spectrum of the wave equation. The reduced supersymmetry is due to the implementation of T‐duality in the construction of the deformed supergravity solutions. As a new result we analyze and explicitly solve the Killing spinor equations of the 𝒩 = 1 background in the superconformal limit.
