Abstract: We consider effective actions for six-dimensional non-critical superstrings. We show that the addition of N units of R-R flux and of Nf space-time filling D5-branes produces AdS5imesS1 solutions with curvature comparable to the string scale. These solutions have the right structure to be dual to calN=1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories with Nf flavors. We further suggest bounds on the mass-squared of tachyonic fields in this background that should restrict the theory to the conformal window.
