Some comments on N = 1 gauge theories from wrapped branes

Abstract We discuss various aspects of gauge theories realized on the world-volume of wrapped branes. In particular, we analyze the coupling of SYM operators to space–time fields both in N =1 and N =2 models and give a description of the gluino condensate in the Maldacena–Nunez N =1 solution. We also explore the seven-dimensional BPS equations relevant for these solutions and their generalizations.
