Title: Holography for confining gauge theories

Abstract:
I will discuss some recent progress in the context of holography for confining gauge theories. In particular, I will present some solutions of type IIB Supergravity, obtained through the TsT deformation of a seed background that is holographically dual to N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle (with a twist). Various holographic observables will be explored, focusing on disentangling the contributions of confinement, marginal deformations, and their interplay.
