## Chapter 4 

## The Constable-Myers Geometry 

We showed in chapter 3 that D7 probe branes can be used to include quarks in holographic duals. However, the resulting theory still had a massless quark condensate. Here we take a step back, and before introducing quarks, we consider a gravity dual where supersymmetry has already been broken. 

## 4.1 The Background 

The Constable-Myers geometry, first studied in [109], is a consistent solution to the type IIB supergravity equations of motion. We state the solution first, and then describe its properties. In the Einstein frame, the geometry is given by:
