DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ricardo Stuardo (Oviedo U.)\n\nWe construct and anal
 yse holographic duals to a class of four-dimensional N = 1 SU(Nc) SQCD-lik
 e theories compactified on a circle with an R-symmetry twist. The setup or
 iginates from type IIB backgrounds previously proposed as duals to SQCD wi
 th Nf fundamental flavours. The U(1) R-symmetry is anomaly-free only if Nf
  = 2Nc. We implement a supersymmetric twisted-circle reduction\, holograph
 ically realised through a smoothly shrinking S1 fibered over the internal 
 U(1) R-direction. We obtain new regular type IIB supergravity backgrounds 
 that are valid only if the condition Nf = 2Nc is satisfied — mirroring t
 he anomaly cancellation requirement in the field theory. We compute variou
 s field-theoretic observables — including the Chern-Simons level\, Wilso
 n loop and the holographic central charge — showing the emergence of a 3
 D N = 2 gapped phase consistent with a Chern-Simons TQFT. This  highlight
 s the interplay between anomalies\, supersymmetry\, and geometry in the ho
 lographic realisation of compactified gauge theories with fundamental matt
