We study supersymmetric D3 brane configurations wrapping internal cycles oftype II backgrounds AdS(5) x H for a generic Sasaki-Einstein manifold H. Theseconfigurations correspond to BPS baryonic operators in the dual quiver gaugetheory. In each sector with given baryonic charge, we write explicit partitionfunctions counting all the BPS operators according to their flavor andR-charge. We also show how to extract geometrical information about H from thepartition functions; in particular, we give general formulae for computingvolumes of three cycles in H.Comment: 46 pages, 10 figures; comments and clarifications added, published versio
