Abstract
We study nonsupersymmetric SO(3)-invariant deformations of d=3, N=8 super-Yang-Mills theory and their type IIA string theory dual. By adding both gaugino mass and scalar mass, the dielectric D4-brane potential coincides with a D5-brane potential in type IIB theory. We find the region of parameter space where the nonsupersymmetric vacuum is described by stable dielectric NS5-branes. By considering the generalized action for NS5-branes in the presence of D4-flux, we also analyze the properties of dielectric NS5-branes.
