Abstract: (arXiv)

This paper lays groundwork for the detailed study of the non-trivial renormalization group flow connecting supersymmetric fixed points in four dimensions using string theory on AdS spaces. Specifically, we consider D3-branes placed at singularities of Calabi-Yau threefolds which generalize the conifold singularity and have an ADE classification. The

\mathcal{N}=1

superconformal theories dictating their low-energy dynamics are infrared fixed points arising from deforming the corresponding ADE

\mathcal{N}=2

superconformal field theories by mass terms for adjoint chiral fields. We probe the geometry with a single

D3

-brane and discuss the near-horizon supergravity solution for a large number

N

of coincident

D3

-branes.
