Wilson loops in warped resolved deformed conifolds

► We calculate quark-antiquark potentials using the Wilson loop and the action of a probe string in the string dual. ► We review and categorise the possible forms of the dependence of the energy on the separation between the quarks. ► We look in particular at the flavoured resolved deformed conifold. ► There appears to be unusual behaviour which seems likely to be related to the IR singularity introduced by flavours.
