Comments on the non-conformal gauge theories dual to Y^p,q manifolds

We study the infrared behavior of the entire class of Y^p,q quiver gauge theories. The dimer technology is exploited to discuss the duality cascades and support the general belief about a runaway behavior for the whole family. We argue that a baryonic classically flat direction is pushed to infinity by the appearance of ADS-like terms in the effective superpotential. We also study in some examples the IR regime for the L^a,b,c class showing that the same situation might be reproduced in this more general case as well.
