Living Rev Relativ, 2010 The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

Nonlinear electrodynamics without birefringence
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 All solutions of the no-birefringence conditions for nonlinear electrodynamics are found. In addition to the known Born-Infeld and Plebanski cases, we find a “reverse Born-Infeld” case, which has a limit to Plebanski, and an “extreme-Born-Infeld” case ...

A comment on 4d and 5d BPS states
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We discuss a phenomenon in supersymmetric field theory and string theory whereby compactifying one of the dimensions of spacetime on an arbitrarily large circle can cause BPS states to become unstable. We exemplify this by considering 5d N $$ \mathcal{N}

Seiberg-Witten curves with O7 ± -planes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We construct Seiberg-Witten curves for 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 gauge theories whose Type IIB 5-brane configuration involves an O7-plane and discuss an intriguing relation between theories with an O7+-plane and those with an O7 − -plane and 8 D7-branes.

Fibrations and Hasse diagrams for 6d SCFTs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study the full moduli space of vacua of 6d worldvolume SCFTs on M5 branes probing an A-type singularity, focusing on the geometric incarnation of the discrete gauging mechanism which acts as a discrete quotient on the Higgs branch fibered over the ...

Elliptic quantum curves of 6d SO(N) theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We discuss supersymmetric defects in 6d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) SCFTs with SO(N c ) gauge group and N c − 8 fundamental flavors. The codimension 2 and 4 defects are engineered by coupling the 6d gauge fields to charged free fields in four and two ...

Deformation of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM with varying couplings via fluxes and intersecting branes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study deformations of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with space-time dependent couplings by embedding probe D3-branes in supergravity backgrounds with non-trivial fluxes.

Electrostatic description of 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 linear quivers
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We present the holographic dual for the strongly coupled, low energy dynamics of balanced N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 field theories in (2 + 1) dimensions. The infinite family of Type IIB backgrounds with AdS4 × S 2 × S 2 factors is described in terms of a ...

On the BPS Sector in AdS3/CFT2 Holography
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 71, Issue 4-5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The BPS sector in AdS3/CFT2$AdS_3/CFT_2$ duality has been fertile ground for the exploration of gauge/gravity duality, from the match between black hole entropy and the CFT elliptic genus to the construction of large families of geometrical microstates and the identification of the corresponding states in the CFT.

Holographic Schwinger Effect with a Rotating Probe D3‐Brane
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 This paper, among other things, talks about possible research on the holographic Schwinger effect with a rotating probe D3‐brane. We discover that for the zero temperature case in the Schwinger effect, the faster the angular velocity and the farther the distance of the test particle pair at D3‐brane, the potential barrier of total potential energy also
