Abstract:
The gravity dual to a N=1 SUSY gauge theory which exhibits an approximately conformal "walking" region while strongly interacting is considered. Stacks of D7-D7bar techni-branes corresponding to the addition of techni-fermions in the gauge theory are embedded in the ten dimensional space-time. Fluctuations of the embedded branes into complementary space are studied. The scalar and pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum is obtained as a function of the bulk coordinate distance cut-off, and the range of stability of the brane embedding is determined.
