Towards the LargeNLimit of PureN=1Super Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract
We find the gravity solution corresponding to a large number of Neveu-Schwarz or D5-branes wrapped on a two sphere so that we have pure N=1 super Yang-Mills in the IR. The supergravity solution is smooth, it shows confinement, and it breaks the U(1)R chiral symmetry in the appropriate way. When the gravity approximation is valid the masses of glueballs are comparable to the masses of Kaluza-Klein (KK) states on the 5-brane, but if we could quantize strings on this background it looks like we should be able to decouple the KK states.
