We carry out a thorough analysis of the moduli space of the cascading gauge theory found on p D3-branes and M wrapped D5-branes at the tip of the conifold. We find various mesonic branches of the moduli space whose string duals involve the warped deformed conifold with different numbers of mobile D3-branes. The branes that are not mobile form a BPS bound state at threshold. In the special case where p is divisible by M there also exists a one-dimensional baryonic branch whose family of supergravity duals, the resolved warped deformed conifolds, was constructed recently. The warped deformed conifold is a special case of these backgrounds where the resolution parameter vanishes and a 2 symmetry is restored. We study various brane probes on the resolved warped deformed conifolds, and successfully match the results with the gauge theory. In particular, we show that the radial potential for a D3-brane on this space varies slowly, suggesting a new model of D-brane inflation.

On D3-brane Potentials in Compactifications with Fluxes and Wrapped D-branes (2006, background): “Employing the closed-string perspective allows us to study the potential for a D3-brane in a warped throat region, such as the warped deformed conifold [11] or its generalizations [12, 13], glued into a flux compactification.”
Towards an explicit model of D-brane inflation (2007, background): “singular conifold, but also in the full warped deformed conifold background 7A similar potential for a mobile D3-brane arises if instead of including the antibrane we generalize the throat background [32]. 10 with three-form ﬂuxes.

Non-Abelian T-duality and the AdS/CFT correspondence: New N=1 backgrounds (2013, background): “at is ultimately responsible for this mixing expressed by the one form L. Field theoretically, the baryonic branch contains a non-zero VEV for an operator of dimension two. The operator is called Uin [69] and is roughly indicating the differences in VEVs of baryon and antibaryon ﬁelds. Here, it seem”
