On closed-string twist-field correlators and their open-string descendants

Pascal Anastasopoulos, Massimo Bianchi, Robert Richter

In a recent paper we have proposed the possibility that the lightest massive string states could be identified with open strings living at intersections of D-branes forming small a…

Electrified branes

Luca Martucci

A geometrical form of the supersymmetry conditions for D-branes on arbitrary type II supersymmetric backgrounds is derived, as well as the associated BPS bounds. The treatment is g…

Introducing the Slotheon: a slow Galileon scalar field in curved space-time

Cristiano Germani, Luca Martucci, Parvin Moyassari

In this paper we define covariant Galilean transformations in curved spacetime and find all scalar field theories invariant under this symmetry. The Slotheon is a Galilean invarian…

Magnetized E3-brane instantons in F-theory

Massimo Bianchi, Andres Collinucci, Luca Martucci

We discuss E3-brane instantons in N=1 F-theory compactifications to four dimensions and clarify the structure of E3-E3 zero modes for general world-volume fluxes. We consistently i…

Multi instanton tests of holography

F. Fucito, J. F. Morales, D. Ricci Pacifici

Gauge theories living on stacks of D7-branes are holographically related to IIB gravitational backgrounds with a varying axion-dilaton field (F-theory). The axion-dilaton field is…

Gauge theories on Omega-backgrounds from non commutative Seiberg-Witten curves

F. Fucito, J. F. Morales, R. Poghossian +1

We study the dynamics of a N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory with fundamental or adjoint matter in presence of a non trivial Omega-background along a two dimensional plane. The…
