Description
In the context of the gauge/gravity correspondence I will present a model where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua. This is based on a system of D-branes placed at the tip of the so-called Octagon singularity and represents the first such instance within the correspondence. The model fills a gap in top-down stringy descriptions of the diverse phases and IR dynamics that supersymmetric gauge theories can enjoy, and paves the way for a gravity/geometric dual of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The relevance of this result in the wider context of the string landscape and the swampland program will also be discussed.
