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…
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…
The Coulomb branch of the Leigh-Strassler deformation and matrix models
Francesco Benini
The Dijkgraaf-Vafa approach is used in order to study the Coulomb branch of the Leigh-Strassler massive deformation of N=4 SYM with gauge group U(N). The theory has N=1 SUSY and an…
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…
