Chiral Type II Orientifold Constructions as M Theory on G_2 holonomy spaces
Mirjam Cvetic, Gary Shiu, Angel M. Uranga
We summarize some recent progress in constructing four-dimensional supersymmetric chiral models from Type II orientifolds. We present the construction a supersymmetric Standard-lik…
Wrapped fluxbranes
Angel M. Uranga
We consider the construction of fluxbranes in certain curved geometries, generalizing the familiar construction of the Melvin fluxtube as a quotient of flat space. The resulting co…
Toric Duality as Seiberg Duality and Brane Diamonds
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
We use field theory and brane diamond techniques to demonstrate that Toric Duality is Seiberg duality for N=1 theories with toric moduli spaces. This resolves the puzzle concerning…
Chiral Four-Dimensional N=1 Supersymmetric Type IIA Orientifolds from Intersecting D6-Branes
Mirjam Cvetic, Gary Shiu, Angel M. Uranga
We construct N=1 supersymmetric four-dimensional orientifolds of type IIA on T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) with D6-branes intersecting at angles. The use of D6-branes not fully aligned with the…
Three-Family Supersymmetric Standard-like Models from Intersecting Brane Worlds
Mirjam Cvetic, Gary Shiu, Angel M. Uranga
We construct the first three family N=1 supersymmetric string model with Standard Model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y from an orientifold of type IIA theory on T^6/(Z_2 x…
Orientifold dual for stuck NS5 branes
Bo Feng, Yang-Hui He, Andreas Karch +1
We establish T-duality between NS5 branes stuck on an orientifold 8-plane in type I' and an orientifold construction in type IIB with D7 branes intersecting at angles. Two applicat…
