3d printing of 2d N=02 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) $$ gauge theories
We introduce 3d printing, a new algorithm for generating 2d N=02 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) $$ gauge theories on D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds using 4d N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ gauge theories on D3-branes probing toric Calabi ...

M2-branes and plane partitions
There is a correspondence between the protected local operators in the 3d SCFTs describing the geometry ℂ2 probed by a stack of N M2-branes and plane partitions of trace N.

Strong Coupling Dynamics of Four-Dimensional N=1 Gauge Theories from M Theory Fivebrane [PDF]
It has been known that the fivebrane of type IIA theory can be used to give an exact low energy description of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. We follow the recent M theory description by Witten and show that it can be used to study

Open String Renormalization Group Flow as a Field Theory
Abstract This article shows that the integral flow‐lines of the RG‐flow of open string theory can be interpreted as the solitons of a Hořova–Lifshitz sigma‐model of open membranes. The authors argue that the effective background description of this model implies the g‐theorem of open string theory.

Bipartite field theories and D-brane instantons
We study D-brane instantons in systems of D3-branes at toric CY 3-fold singularities. The instanton effect can be described as a backreaction modifying the geometry of the mirror configuration, in which the breaking of U(1) symmetries by the instanton ...

Compactness of brane moduli and the String Lamppost Principle in d > 6
We demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle — that all consistent theories of quantum gravity are in the String Landscape — for supersymmetric theories in d > 6 using compactness and connectedness of the moduli space of small instantons,

Fiber-base duality from the algebraic perspective
Quiver 5D $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories describe the low-energy dynamics on webs of $(p,q)$-branes in type IIB string theory. S-duality exchanges NS5 and D5 branes, mapping $(p,q)$-branes to branes of charge $(-q,p)$, and, in this way, induces several ...

Two Dimensional Mirror Symmetry From M-theory [PDF]
We construct two dimensional gauge theories with $N= (4,4)$ supersymmetry from branes of type IIA string theory. Quantum effects in the two dimensional gauge theory are analyzed by embedding the IIA brane construction into M-theory.

de Sitter State in Heterotic String Theory
Abstract Recent no‐go theorems have ruled out four‐dimensional classical de Sitter vacua in heterotic string theory. On the other hand, the absence of a well‐defined Wilsonian effective action and other related phenomena also appear to rule out such time‐dependent vacua with de Sitter isometries, even in the presence of quantum corrections.

Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes. The dynamics of
