Counting BPS Baryonic Operators in CFTs with Sasaki-Einstein duals

Agostino Butti, Davide Forcella, Alberto Zaffaroni

We study supersymmetric D3 brane configurations wrapping internal cycles of type II backgrounds AdS(5) x H for a generic Sasaki-Einstein manifold H. These configurations correspond…

The Hierarchy Principle and the Large Mass Limit of the Linear Sigma Model

Daniele Bettinelli, Ruggero Ferrari, Andrea Quadri

In perturbation theory we study the matching in four dimensions between the linear sigma model in the large mass limit and the renormalized nonlinear sigma model in the recently pr…

An Alternative for Moduli Stabilisation

C. Angelantonj, M. Cardella, N. Irges

The one-loop vacuum energy is explicitly computed for a class of perturbative string vacua where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by a T-duality invariant asymmetric Scherk-Sc…

Thermodynamics at the BPS bound for Black Holes in AdS

Pedro J. Silva

In this work we define a new limiting procedure that extends the usual thermodynamics treatment of Black Hole physics, to the supersymmetric regime. This procedure is inspired on e…

Spin-field Interaction Effects and Loop Dynamics in AdS/CFT Duality

A. I. Karanikas, C. N. Ktorides

The spin-field interaction is considered, in the context of the gauge fields/string correspondence, in the large 't Hooft coupling limit. The latter can be viewed as a WKB-type app…

Deformations of conformal theories and non-toric quiver gauge theories

Agostino Butti, Davide Forcella, Alberto Zaffaroni

We discuss several examples of non-toric quiver gauge theories dual to Sasaki-Einstein manifolds with U(1)^2 or U(1) isometry. We give a general method for constructing non-toric e…

On the perturbative chiral ring for marginally deformed N=4 SYM theories

Andrea Mauri, Silvia Penati, Marco Pirrone +2

For \cal{N}=1 SU(N) SYM theories obtained as marginal deformations of the \cal{N}=4 parent theory we study perturbatively some sectors of the chiral ring in the weak coupling regim…

Conformal invariance of the planar beta-deformed N=4 SYM theory requires beta real

Federico Elmetti, Andrea Mauri, Silvia Penati +2

We study the \cal{N}=1 SU(N) SYM theory which is a marginal deformation of the \cal{N}=4 theory, with a complex deformation parameter β. We consider the large N limit and study per…

Deformations of Toric Singularities and Fractional Branes

Agostino Butti

Fractional branes added to a large stack of D3-branes at the singularity of a Calabi-Yau cone modify the quiver gauge theory breaking conformal invariance and leading to different…

Deriving Spin of the Bosonic String

Giovanni Salesi

Exploiting the strict analogy between the motion of strings and extended-like spinning particles, we propose an original kinematical formulation of the spin of bosonic strings and…

The Abelian Embedding Formulation of the Stueckelberg Model and its Power-counting Renormalizable Extension

Andrea Quadri

We elucidate the geometry of the polynomial formulation of the non-abelian Stueckelberg mechanism. We show that a natural off-shell nilpotent BRST differential exists allowing to i…
