Multitrace Deformations of Vector and Adjoint Theories and their Holographic Duals

S. Elitzur, A. Giveon, M. Porrati +1

We present general methods to study the effect of multitrace deformations in conformal theories admitting holographic duals in Anti de Sitter space. In particular, we analyse the c…

Multi-Parton Amplitudes in Gauge Theories

Michelangelo L. Mangano, Stephen J. Parke

In this report we review recent developments in perturbation theory methods for gauge theories. We present techniques and results that are useful in the calculation of cross sectio…

Quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere with heavy charges

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We develop a perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere around the background generated by heavy charges. Explicit results are presented for the one and…

Domain Walls and Flux Tubes

Stefano Bolognesi

We present a new vortex solution made of a domain wall compactified into a cylinder and stabilized by the magnetic flux within. When the thickness of the wall is much less than the…

Large N, Z_N Strings and Bag Models

Stefano Bolognesi

We study Z_N strings in nonabelian gauge theories, when they can be considered as domain walls compactified on a cylinder and stabilized by the flux inside. To make the wall vortex…

Stable vs Unstable Vortices in SQCD

Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin

We give a topological classification of stable and unconfined massive particles and strings (and some instantons) in worldvolume theories of M5-branes and their dimensional reducti…

From Sasaki-Einstein spaces to quivers via BPS geodesics: Lpqr

Sergio Benvenuti, Martin Kruczenski

The AdS/CFT correspondence between Sasaki-Einstein spaces and quiver gauge theories is studied from the perspective of massless BPS geodesics. The recently constructed toric Lpqr g…

Semiclassical strings in Sasaki-Einstein manifolds and long operators in N=1 gauge theories

Sergio Benvenuti, Martin Kruczenski

We study the AdS/CFT relation between an infinite class of 5-d Ypq Sasaki-Einstein metrics and the corresponding quiver theories. The long BPS operators of the field theories are m…

Light Nonabelian Monopoles and Generalized r-Vacua in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini

We study a class of N=1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories and find that there exist vacua in which the low-energy magnetic effective gauge group contains multiple nonabelian facto…

Naturalness in Cosmological Initial Conditions

F. Nitti, M. Porrati, J. -W. Rombouts

We propose a novel approach to the problem of constraining cosmological initial conditions. Within the framework of effective field theory, we classify initial conditions in terms…

Conformal Manifolds for the Conifold and other Toric Field Theories

Sergio Benvenuti, Amihay Hanany

In the space of couplings of the 4D N=1 gauge theory associated to D3 branes probing Calabi-Yau singularities, there is a manifold over which superconformal invariance is preserved…
