Using AdS/CFT, we study the addition of an arbitrary number of backreacting flavors to the Klebanov-Witten theory, making many checks of consistency between our new Type IIB plus branes solution and expectations from field theory. We study generalizations of our method for adding flavors to all = 1 SCFTs that can be realized on D3-branes at the tip of a Calabi-Yau cone. Also, general guidelines suitable for the addition of massive flavor branes are developed.

Heavy ions and string theory (2013, background): “This was studied for nonzero temperature by [193] and at nonzero temperature and density by [194, 195], building on earlier work at zero temperature and density in [196].”
Chiral flavors and M2-branes at toric CY4 singularities (2009, background): “Secondly, in general the addition of flavors to an AdS5/CFT4 pair breaks conformal invariance and the RG flows leads the theory to a fixed point which is outside the validity of supergravity [58] (the dual statement is that D7-branes force the dilaton to run towards −∞ at the tip).”
Mesons in gauge/gravity duals (2007, background): “Impressively, fully back-reacted solutions for D7 branes in the SU(N)×SU(N) theory were constructed in [117].”

Supersymmetric sources, integrability and generalized-structure compactifications (2007, background): “In the past several authors have checked on a case-by-case basis [40, 41, 42 , 43] that once a supersymmetric AdS5 background with supersymmetric sources satisfies the source-modified Bianchi identities, the source-modified dilaton and Einstein equations follow.”
Unquenched Flavor in the Gauge/Gravity Correspondence (2010, background): “Strictly speaking, these formulae need to be corrected for small values of the gauge couplings and are only valid in the large ’t Hooft coupling regime (see [120, 106, 63]), which is the case under consideration.”
