Abstract
The warped deformed conifold background of type IIB theory is dual to the cascading SU ( M ( p + 1 ) ) × SU ( M p ) gauge theory. We show that this background realizes the (super-)Goldstone mechanism where the U ( 1 ) baryon number symmetry is broken by expectation values of baryonic operators. The resulting massless pseudo-scalar and scalar glueballs are identified in the supergravity spectrum. A D-string is then dual to a global string in the gauge theory. Upon compactification, the Goldstone mechanism turns into the Higgs mechanism, and the global strings turn into ANO strings. To cite this article: S.S. Gubser et al., C. R. Physique 5 (2004).
