Refined topological vertex with ON-planes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We propose refined topological vertex formalism for 5-brane systems with ON-planes by introducing a new vertex associated with reflection over an ON-plane, which gives rise to new vertex and edge factors.

Schwinger‐Type Pair Production in Non‐SUSY AdS/CFT
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 We study pair production of particles in the presence of an external electric field in a large N non‐supersymmetric Yang‐Mills theory using the holographic duality. The dual geometry we consider is asymptotically AdS and is effectively parametrized by two parameters, u0 and −52/<δ≤0, both of which can be related to the effective mass of quark/antiquark

Structure of anomalies of 4d SCFTs from M5-branes, and anomaly inflow
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study the ’t Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional superconformal field theories that arise from M5-branes wrapped on a punctured Riemann surface. In general there are two independent contributions to the anomalies.

On p-form gauge theories and their conformal limits
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on duality invariant (2n − 1)-form electrodynamics and chiral 2n-form electrodynamics ...

Localization of Gauge Theories on the Three-Sphere [PDF]
, 2012 We describe the application of localization techniques to the path integral for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. The localization procedure reduces the computation of the expectation value of BPS observables to a calculation in a matrix

Phases of U (N c ) QCD3 from type 0 strings and Seiberg duality
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We propose an embedding of U(N c ) QCD3 with a Chern-Simons term in string theory. The UV gauge theory lives on the worldvolume of a Hanany-Witten brane configuration in type 0B string theory in the presence of Sagnotti’s O′3 orientifold.

Topics in Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge/Gravity Dualities [PDF]
, 2010 The thesis covers two topics in string theory and quantum field theory. First, we realize metastable vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories. Specifically, we consider the Coulomb branch of any N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, and perturb it by ...

Searching for surface defect CFTs within AdS3
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study AdS3 × S 3 / ℤ k × S ˜ 3 / ℤ k ′ $$ \times {S}^3/{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_k\times {\tilde{S}}^3/{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_{k^{\prime }} $$ solutions to M-theory preserving N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 4) supersymmetries, arising as near-horizon limits of ...

A note on D0-branes and instantons in 5d supersymmetric gauge theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We refine a previous proposal for obtaining the multi-instanton partition function from the supersymmetric index of the 1d supersymmetric gauge theory on the worldline of D0-branes.

3d 𝒩 = 2 theories and plumbing graphs: adding matter, gauging, and new dualities
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Recently, a large class of 3d 𝒩 = 2 gauge theories with mixed Chern-Simons levels, corresponding to plumbing 3-manifolds, has been identified. In this paper we generalize these theories by including in their content chiral multiples, and analyze their ...
