Abstract
We consider renormalization group flows between conformal field theories in five (six) dimensions with a string (M-theory) dual. By compactifying on a circle (torus) with appropriate boundary conditions, we obtain continuous families of confining fourdimensional theories parametrized by the ratio Λflow/ΛQCD, with Λflow the scale at which the flow between fixed points takes place and ΛQCD the confinement scale. We construct the dual geometries explicitly and compute the spectrum of scalar bound states (glueballs). We find a ‘universal’ subset of states common to all the models. We comment on the modifications of these models, and the corresponding fine-tuning, required for a parametrically light ‘dilaton’ state to be present. We also comment on some aspects of these theories as probed by extended objects such as strings and branes.
