Abstract

We study gauge theories arising on D‐branes on quotients of the conifold. They exhibit meta‐stable SUSY breaking along the lines of the model by Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih. We propose a candidate for the extrapolation to large't Hooft coupling of the meta‐stable state. It involves anti D3‐branes in a smooth gravity dual of a cascading gauge theory.
