Graded quivers, generalized dimer models and toric geometry

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY (m + 2)-folds is de- scribed by m-graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence extends to general m the well known connection between CY (m + 2)-folds and gauge theories on the world ...

Aspects of brane world-volume dynamics in string theory

, 2012
PhDThis thesis investigates the non-abelian dynamics of D-Brane systems in String Theory, specifically focussing on the fate of the open string Tachyon.

M2-branes and instantons [PDF]

, 2013
In the first part of this thesis we discuss some of the issues arising in extending the ABJM action of multiple M2-branes to include couplings to the background 3-form field.

Holographic description of the QCD phase diagram and out of equilibrium dynamics

, 2014
Holography provides a powerful tool to model QCD and other strongly coupled gauge dynamics. As examples of its power to compute in novel environments I review some recent results: these include models of the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature ...

Dualities of corner configurations and supersymmetric indices

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We compute supersymmetric indices which count local operators at certain half-BPS interfaces and quarter-BPS junctions of interfaces in four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory.

(1+p)-dimensional open D (p−2) brane theories [PDF]

, 2001
The dynamics of a Dp-brane can be described either by an open string ending on this brane or by an open D (p−2)-brane ending on the same Dp-brane. The ends of the open string couple to a Dp-brane worldvolume gauge field while the boundary of the open D ...

Probing quantum curves and transitions in 5d SQFTs via defects and blowup equations

Journal of High Energy Physics
We investigate codimension-2 defect partition functions and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves in 5d rank-1 supersymmetric QFTs, including non-Lagrangian and Kaluza-Klein theories.

Deconstruction and surface defects in 6d CFTs

Journal of High Energy Physics
We study the two families of AdS3 × S 3 × S 2 × Σ2 solutions to massive Type IIA supergravity with small and large (0, 4) supersymmetries constructed recently in the literature, in connection with the AdS7 × S 2 × I solutions to massive Type IIA, to ...
