    Description
    We perform an exhaustive analysis of supersymmetric embeddings of D-brane probes in the AdS5 x X5 background of type IIB string theory (X5 being a Sasaki-Einstein manifold) and characterize the most salient features of these configurations with regard to their dual four-dimensional superconformal field theories. We further discuss some gauge theoretical and cosmological applications of our results.
