Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the supergravity equations of motion associated with non-critical (d>1d>1) type II string theories that incorporate RR forms. Using a superpotential formalism we determine several classes of solutions. In particular we find analytic backgrounds with a structure of AdSp+2×Sdp2AdS_{p+2}\times S^{d-p-2} and numerical solutions that asymptote a linear dilaton with a topology of R1,d3×R×S1R^{1,d-3}\times R \times S^1. The SUGRA solutions we have found can serve as anti holographic descriptions of gauge theories in a large NN limit which is different than the one of the critical gauge/gravity duality. It is characterized by N\rt \infty and gYM2N1g_{YM}^2 N \sim 1. We have made the first steps in analyzing the corresponding gauge theory properties like Wilson loops and the glue-ball spectra.
