Semiclassical Strings, Dipole Deformations of N=1 SYM and Decoupling of KK Modes
In this paper we investigate the recently found -deformed
Maldacena-Nunez background by studying the behavior of different semiclassical
string configurations. This background is conjectured to be dual to dipole
deformations of SYM. We compare our results to those in the pure
Maldacena-Nunez background and show that the energies of our string
configurations are higher than in the undeformed background. Thinking in the
lines of (hep-th/0505100) we argue that this is an evidence for better
decoupling of the Kaluza-Klein modes from the pure SYM theory excitations.
Moreover we are able to find a limit of the background in which the string
energy is independent of , these strings are interpreted as
corresponding to pure gauge theory effects.Comment: 31 pages, references added, new solutions in Section 7 presented, an
