Confinement in 4D Yang-Mills theories from non-critical Type 0 string theory

We study five dimensional non critical type 0 string theory and its corresp ondence to non supersymmetric Yang Mills theory in four dimensions. We solv e the equations of motion of the low energy effective action and identify a class of solutions that translates into a confining behavior in the IR reg ion of the dual gauge theories. In particular we identify a setup which is dual to pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. Possible flows of the solutions to th e UV region are discussed. The validity of the solutions and potential sub- leading string corrections are also discussed.
