Title: Mesons and flavor on the conifold

Abstract

We explore the addition of fundamental matter to the Klebanov-Witten field theory. We add probe D7-branes to the N=1 theory obtained from placing D3-branes at the tip of the conifold and compute the meson spectrum for the scalar mesons. In the UV limit of massless quarks we find the exact dimensions of the associated operators, which exhibit a simple scaling in the large-charge limit. For the case of massive quarks we compute the spectrum of scalar mesons numerically.
