Integrability from Chern-Simons theories
, 2022 This thesis details my work exploring connections between integrable systems and Chern-Simons theories. It is divided into two parts. The first concerns the application of 4d Chern-Simons theory to describe integrable models with boundary, while the ...

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 ...

Tilings, Chern-Simons Theories and M2 Branes [PDF]
, 2008 A new infinite class of Chern-Simons theories in 2+1 dimensions is presented using brane tilings. The new class reproduces all known cases so far and introduces many new models that are dual to M2 brane theories which probe a toric non-compact singular ...

CHERN–SIMONS-MATTER THEORY [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2013 In this paper, we will deform an ABJ theory in [Formula: see text] harmonic superspace without breaking any supersymmetry. We will analyze the ABJ theory and show that it retains the full [Formula: see text] supersymmetry. We will then analyze the gauge fixing and ghost terms for this model in various gauges.

Renormalization ambiguities in Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1994 We introduce a new family of gauge invariant regularizations of Chern-Simons theories which generate one-loop renormalizations of the coupling constant of the form $k\to k+2 s c_v$ where $s$ can take any arbitrary integer value. In the particular case $s=0$ we get an explicit example of a gauge invariant regularization which does not generate radiative

Localization and Dualities in Three Dimensional Superconformal Field Theories [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis we apply the technique of localization to three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories. We consider both theories which are exactly superconformal, and those which are believed to flow to nontrivial superconformal fixed points, for

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

Remarks on Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 2009 The classical Chern-Simons invariant is the basis for a 3 3 -dimensional topological quantum field theory. We describe some

Level-rank duality in Chern–Simons theory from a non-supersymmetric brane configuration
Physics Letters B, 2014 We derive level-rank duality in pure Chern–Simons gauge theories from a non-supersymmetric Seiberg duality by using a non-supersymmetric brane configuration in type IIB string theory. The brane configuration consists of fivebranes, N D3 antibranes and an

Superconformal Chern-Simons theories from del Pezzo geometries [PDF]
, 2017 A bstractWe present an explicit expression for the grand potential of the U(N )3 superconformal Chern-Simons theory with the Chern-Simons levels being (k, 0, −k).
