Abstract
We investigate a family of solutions of type-IIB supergravity which asympto tically approach AdS(5) x S-5 but contain a non-constant dilaton and volume scalar for the five-sphere. These solutions preserve an SO(1; 3) x SO(6) s ymmetry. We discuss the solution in the context of the AdS/CFT corresponden ce, and we find that as well as running coupling from the nontrivial dilato n, the corresponding field theory has no supersymmetry and displays confine ment at least for a certain range of parameters.
