Abstract

In this paper we investigate the supergravity equations of motion associated with non-critical (d > 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 × Sd-p-2 and numerical solutions that asymptote a linear dilaton with a topology of R1,d-3 × R × S1. The SUGRA solutions we have found can serve as anti holographic descriptions of gauge theories in a large-N limit which is different than the one of the critical gauge/gravity duality. It is characterized by N → ∞ and gYM2 N ≥ 1. We have made the first steps in analyzing the corresponding gauge theory properties like Wilson loops and the glue-ball spectra.
