Field Theory Dynamics from Branes in String Theory
Andreas Karch
I review certain aspects of Hanany-Witten setups and other approaches used to embed (and solve) gauge theories in string theory. Applications covered include dualities in 4 and 3 d…
N=1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Supersymmetric 3-cycles
Andreas Karch, Dieter Lust, Andre Miemiec
In this paper we discuss the strong coupling limit of chiral N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory via their embedding into M-theory. In particular we focus on the brane box models of Ha…
Infrared Behaviour of Softly Broken SQCD and Its Dual
Andreas Karch, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Jisuke Kubo +1
Applying the recently obtained results on the renormalization of soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, we investigate the infrared behaviour of the softly broken supersymmetric Q…
Superconformal N=1 Gauge Theories, beta-Function Invariants and their Behavior under Seiberg Duality
Andreas Karch, Dieter Lust, George Zoupanos
In this paper we discuss some aspects of the behavior of superconformal N=1 models under Seiberg's duality. Our claim is that if an electric gauge theory is superconformal on some…
Equivalence of Geometric Engineering and Hanany-Witten via Fractional Branes
Andreas Karch, Dieter Lust, Douglas J. Smith
We present an explicit relation between the Hanany-Witten and Geometric Engineering approaches of realising gauge theories in string theory. The last piece in the puzzle is a T-dua…
Six-Dimensional Fixed Points from Branes
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the construction of six dimensional N=1 fixed points in a brane picture involving D6 branes stretching between NS 5 branes.
Matrix Theory and the Six Torus
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We review the problems associated with Matrix compactifications on T^6.
Branes at Orbifolds versus Hanany Witten in Six Dimensions
Ilka Brunner, Andreas Karch
We reconstruct non-trivial 6d theories obtained by Blum and Intriligator by considering IIB or SO(32) 5 branes at ALE spaces in the language of Hanany Witten setups. Using ST duali…
Brane Dynamics and Chiral non-Chiral Transitions
Ilka Brunner, Amihay Hanany, Andreas Karch +1
We study brane realizations of chiral matter in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. A "cross" configuration which leads to "flavor doubling" is found to have a su…
