Exact quantization conditions for cluster integrable systems

Sebastian Franco, Yasuyuki Hatsuda, Marcos Marino

We propose exact quantization conditions for the quantum integrable systems of Goncharov and Kenyon, based on the enumerative geometry of the corresponding toric Calabi-Yau manifol…

3D -minimization in AdS gauged supergravity

Antonio Amariti, Alessandra Gnecchi

In this paper we propose the identification in AdS4 N = 2 gauged supergravity of the coefficient of 3D N = 2 SCFTs. We constraint the structure of this function in supergr…

Brane Brick Models, Toric Calabi-Yau 4-Folds and 2d (0,2) Quivers

Sebastian Franco, Sangmin Lee, Rak-Kyeong Seong

We introduce brane brick models, a novel type of Type IIA brane configurations consisting of D4-branes ending on an NS5-brane. Brane brick models are T-dual to D1-branes over singu…

4d/3d reduction of s-confining theories: the role of the "exotic" D instantons

A. Amariti

In the reduction of 4d dualities to 3d there are non-perturbative effects arising from monopoles acting as instantons. This mechanism has been reproduced in string theory by engine…

Thermofield dynamics and Gravity

V. P. Nair

Thermofield dynamics is presented in terms of a path-integral using coherent states, equivalently, using a coadjoint orbit action. A field theoretic formulation in terms of fields…

Boundary Conditions as Dynamical Fields

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

The possibility of treating boundary conditions in terms of a bilocal dynamical field is formalized in terms of a boundary action. This allows for a simple path-integral perturbati…

D-brane Instantons as Gauge Instantons in Orientifolds of Chiral Quiver Theories

Sebastian Franco, Ander Retolaza, Angel Uranga

Systems of D3-branes at orientifold singularities can receive non-perturbative D-brane instanton corrections, inducing field theory operators in the 4d effective theory. In certain…

2d (0,2) Quiver Gauge Theories and D-Branes

Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Sangmin Lee +2

We initiate a systematic study of 2d (0,2) quiver gauge theories on the worldvolume of D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We present an algorithm for efficiently…

From S-confinement to 3D Chiral Theories: Dressing the Monopoles

Antonio Amariti, Csaba Csáki, Mario Martone +1

Monopole operators play a central role in 3 dimensional supersymmetric dualities: a careful understanding of their spectrum is necessary to match chiral operators on either sides o…

Fermions, Mass-Gap and Landau Levels: Gauge invariant Hamiltonian for QCD in D=2+1

Abhishek Agarwal, V. P. Nair

A gauge-invariant reformulation of QCD in three spacetime dimensions is presented within a Hamiltonian formalism, extending previous work to include fermion fields in the adjoint a…

Charting Class Territory

Sebastian Franco, Hirotaka Hayashi, Angel Uranga

We extend the investigation of the recently introduced class of 4d SCFTs, by considering a large family of quiver gauge theories within it, which we de…

Non-Planar On-Shell Diagrams

Sebastian Franco, Daniele Galloni, Brenda Penante +1

We initiate a systematic study of non-planar on-shell diagrams in N=4 SYM and develop powerful technology for doing so. We introduce canonical variables generalizing face variables…
