The Toric Phases of the Y^{p,q} Quivers

Sergio Benvenuti, Amihay Hanany, Pavlos Kazakopoulos

We construct all connected toric phases of the recently discovered quivers and show their IR equivalence using Seiberg duality. We also compute the R and global U(1) char…

Reflection-Transmission Quantum Yang-Baxter Equations

V. Caudrelier, M. Mintchev, E. Ragoucy +1

We explore the reflection-transmission quantum Yang-Baxter equations, arising in factorized scattering theory of integrable models with impurities. The physical origin of these equ…

The finite-temperature chiral transition in QCD with adjoint fermions

Francesco Basile, Andrea Pelissetto, Ettore Vicari

We study the nature of the finite-temperature chiral transition in QCD with N_f light quarks in the adjoint representation (aQCD). Renormalization-group arguments show that the tra…

The Holomorphic Tension of Nonabelian Vortices

Stefano Bolognesi

We continue the work hep-th/0411075 considering here the case of degenerate masses. A nonabelian vortex arises in r-vacua upon the breaking by a superpotential for the adjoint fiel…

New results on superconformal quivers

Sergio Benvenuti, Amihay Hanany

All superconformal quivers are shown to satisfy the relation c = a and are thus good candidates for being the field theory living on D3 branes probing CY singularities. We systemat…

Semiclassical and quantum Liouville theory on the sphere

Pietro Menotti, Gabriele Vajente

We solve the Riemann-Hilbert problem on the sphere topology for three singularities of finite strength and a fourth one infinitesimal, by determining perturbatively the Poincare' a…

An Infinite Family of Superconformal Quiver Gauge Theories with Sasaki-Einstein Duals

Sergio Benvenuti, Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany +2

We describe an infinite family of quiver gauge theories that are AdS/CFT dual to a corresponding class of explicit horizon Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The quivers may be obtained fr…

The Holomorphic Tension of Vortices

Stefano Bolognesi

We study the tension of vortices in N=2 SQCD broken to N=1 by a superpotential W(Φ), in color-flavor locked vacua. The tension can be written as T = T_{BPS} + T_{non BPS}. The BPS…

Monopoles Can be Confined by 0, 1 or 2 Vortices

Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin

There are three types of monopole in gauge theories with fundamental matter and N=2 supersymmetry broken by a superpotential. There are unconfined 0-monopoles and also 1 and 2-mono…

Zamolodchikov relations and Liouville hierarchy in SL(2,R)_k WZNW model

Gaetano Bertoldi, Stefano Bolognesi, Gaston Giribet +2

We study the connection between Zamolodchikov operator-valued relations in Liouville field theory and in the SL(2,R)_k WZNW model. In particular, the classical relations in SL(2,R)…

High precision study of the structure of D=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics

M. Campostrini, J. Wosiek

The spectrum of D=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics is computed with high accuracy in all channels of angular momentum and fermion number. Localized and non-localized s…

Topological susceptibility in the SU(3) gauge theory

Luigi Del Debbio, Leonardo Giusti, Claudio Pica

We compute the topological susceptibility for the SU(3) Yang--Mills theory by employing the expression of the topological charge density operator suggested by Neuberger's fermions.…

Nonabelian Monopoles

Roberto Auzzi, Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin +2

We study topological as well as dynamical properties of BPS nonabelian magnetic monopoles of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive-Weinberg type in , and SO(N) gauge theories, sp…

The Liouville Geometry of N=2 Instantons and the Moduli of Punctured Spheres

Gaetano Bertoldi, Stefano Bolognesi, Marco Matone +2

We study the instanton contributions of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory and propose that the instanton moduli space is mapped to the moduli space of punctured spheres. Due to the r…

Finite Temperature Quantum Field Theory with Impurities

M. Mintchev, P. Sorba

We apply the concept of reflection-transmission (RT) algebra, originally developed in the context of integrable systems in 1+1 space-time dimensions, to the study of finite tempera…

Standard and geometric approaches to quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We compare the standard and geometric approaches to quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere by performing perturbative calculations of the one and two point functions up to th…

The quantum non-linear Schrodinger model with point-like defect

V. Caudrelier, M. Mintchev, E. Ragoucy

We establish a family of point-like impurities which preserve the quantum integrability of the non-linear Schrodinger model in 1+1 space-time dimensions. We briefly describe the co…

Deformed dimensional regularization for odd (and even) dimensional theories

Damiano Anselmi

I formulate a deformation of the dimensional-regularization technique that is useful for theories where the common dimensional regularization does not apply. The Dirac algebra is n…

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Field Theory

F. Strocchi

The problems which arise for a relativistic quantum mechanics are reviewed and critically examined in connection with the foundations of quantum field theory. The conflict between…
