Warping and vacua of (2+1)-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory
We use dielectric branes to find nonsingular string theory duals of a perturbed (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory living on D2-branes. By adding fermion masses we obtain theories with reduced supersymmetry. The Higgs vacua of the perturbed theory correspond to polarization of the D2-branes into D4-branes. The confining vacua correspond to polarization …
