We study a bound state of fractional D3/D7-branes in the ten-dimensional space R1,5×R4/Z2 using the boundary state formalism. We construct the boundary actions for this system and show that higher-order terms in the twisted fields are needed in order to satisfy the zero-force condition. We then find the classical background associated to the bound state and show that the gauge theory living on a probe fractional D3-brane correctly reproduces the perturbative behavior of a four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory with fundamental matter.

• Towards a holographic dual of large- N c QCD (2003, background): “ist not only of gluons but also of fundamental quarks. In the context of AdS/CFT, fundamental matter can be added to the gauge theory by introducing D-brane probes in the dual supergravity background [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. This has been recently exploited to study mesons holographically in seve”
