cascading gauge theory

{{Short description|Special type of gauge theory}}

In theoretical physics, a cascading gauge theory is a gauge theory whose coupling rapidly changes with the scale in such a way that Seiberg duality must be applied many times.

Igor Klebanov and Matthew Strassler studied this kind of N=1 gauge theory in the context of the AdS-CFT correspondence, which is dual to the warped deformed conifold.{{cite journal |last1=Klebanov |first1=Igor R. |last2=Strassler |first2=Matthew J. |title=Supergravity and a Confining Gauge Theory: Duality Cascades and χSB-Resolution of Naked Singularities |journal=Journal of High Energy Physics |date=13 October 2000 |volume=2000 |doi=10.1088/1126-6708/2000/08/052 |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1126-6708/2000/08/052/meta |access-date=21 March 2023|arxiv=hep-th/0007191 }}
