Abstract
We review how to describe the stable non-BPS D-branes of type II string the ory from a classical perspective, and discuss the properties of the space-t ime geometry associated to these configurations. This is relevant in order to see whether and how the gauge/gravity correspondence can be formulated i n non-conformal and non-supersymmetric settings.
