Brane Brick Models for the Sasaki-Einstein 7-Manifolds Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2)

Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Rak-Kyeong Seong

The 2d (0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories corresponding to the classes of Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2) manifolds are identified. The complex cones over these Sasaki-Eins…

Superluminal anisotropic propagation and wavefront splitting on tilted and boosted braneworlds

Alexios P. Polychronakos

Braneworlds winding and spinning around an extra compact dimension manifest superluminal propagation for fields penetrating the bulk. This propagation is either irreducibly anisotr…

The Octagon at large M

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4

Recently, the first instance of a model of D-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua has been proposed. This construction was…

Fractional topological charge in gauge theories without dynamical quarks

V. P. Nair, Robert D. Pisarski

In gauge theories without dynamical quarks, we discuss how configurations with fractional topological charge, , can arise in the vacuum and dominate in the confin…

Gauge and Scalar Fields on : A Gauge-invariant Analysis II. The measure for gauge fields and a 4d WZW theory

Dimitra Karabali, Antonina Maj, V. P. Nair

We consider the volume of the gauge orbit space for gauge fields on four-dimensional complex projective space. The analysis uses a parametrization of gauge fields where gauge trans…

Fano 3-Folds, Reflexive Polytopes and Brane Brick Models

Sebastian Franco, Rak-Kyeong Seong

Reflexive polytopes in n dimensions have attracted much attention both in mathematics and theoretical physics due to their connection to Fano n-folds and mirror symmetry. This work…

Quivers, Lattice Gauge Theories and Fractons

Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez

We argue that quiver gauge theories with gauge groups give rise to lattice gauge theories with matter possessing fractonic properties, where the lattice is the quiver itsel…

Spin(7) Orientifolds and 2d Triality

Sebastián Franco, Alessandro Mininno, Ángel M. Uranga +1

We present a new, geometric perspective on the recently proposed triality of 2d gauge theories, based on its engineering in terms of D1-branes probing Spin(7) o…
