Dimers, Orientifolds and Anomalies

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4

We study gauge theories engineered via D-branes at orientifolds of toric singularities, where gauge anomalies are cancelled without the introduction of non-com…

Matter-gravity coupling for fuzzy geometry and the Landau-Hall problem

V. P. Nair

We consider a set of physical degrees of freedom coupled to a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, which may be taken as modeling a fuzzy space or as the lowest Landau level of a Land…

Topological Terms and Diffeomorphism Anomalies in Fluid Dynamics and Sigma Models

V. P. Nair

The requirement of diffeomorphism symmetry for the target space can lead to anomalous commutators for the energy-momentum tensor for sigma models and for fluid dynamics, if certain…

Dimers, Orientifolds and Stability of Supersymmetry Breaking Vacua

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4

We study (orientifolded) toric Calabi-Yau singularities in search for D-brane configurations which lead to dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy. By exploiting dimer techn…

Exchange interactions, Yang-Baxter relations and transparent particles

Alexios P. Polychronakos

We introduce a class of particle models in one dimension involving exchange interactions that have scattering properties satisfying the Yang-Baxter consistency condition. A subclas…

Quiver Mutations, Seiberg Duality and Machine Learning

Jiakang Bao, Sebastián Franco, Yang-Hui He +3

We initiate the study of applications of machine learning to Seiberg duality, focusing on the case of quiver gauge theories, a problem also of interest in mathematics in the contex…

The Octagon and the Non-Supersymmetric String Landscape

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4

We present an orientifold of a toric singularity allowing for a configuration of fractional branes which corresponds to a gauge theory that dynamically breaks supersymmetry in a st…

Calabi-Yau Products: Graded Quivers for General Toric Calabi-Yaus

Sebastián Franco, Azeem Hasan

The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY -folds is described by -graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence generalizes the connection betwee…

On the Classification of Duality Webs for Graded Quivers

Sebastian Franco, Azeem Hasan, Xingyang Yu

We study the -graded quiver theories associated to CY -folds and their order dualities. We investigate how monodromies give rise to mutation invariants, which in…

Landau-Hall States and Berezin-Toeplitz Quantization of Matrix Algebras

V. P. Nair

We argue that the Landau-Hall states provide a suitable framework for formulating the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization of classical functions on a Kähler phase space. We derive the st…

Entanglement for Quantum Hall states and a Generalized Chern-Simons Form

V. P. Nair

We analyze some features of the entanglement entropy for an integer quantum Hall state () in comparison with ideas from relativistic field theory and noncommutative geometry.…
