Large N Strong Coupling Dynamics in Non-Supersymmetric Orbifold Field Theories
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
We give a recipe relating holomorphic quantities in supersymmetric field theory to their descendants in non-supersymmetric Z_2 orbifold field theories. This recipe, consistent with…
Matrix Models and Gravitational Corrections
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Annamaria Sinkovics, Mine Temurhan
We provide evidence of the relation between supersymmetric gauge theories and matrix models beyond the planar limit. We compute gravitational R^2 couplings in gauge theories pertur…
Perturbative Analysis of Gauged Matrix Models
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Sergei Gukov, Vladimir A. Kazakov +1
We analyze perturbative aspects of gauged matrix models, including those where classically the gauge symmetry is partially broken. Ghost fields play a crucial role in the Feynman r…
A Perturbative Window into Non-Perturbative Physics
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Cumrun Vafa
We argue that for a large class of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories the effective superpotential as a function of the glueball chiral superfield is exactly given by a summation of…
On the partition sum of the NS five-brane
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, M. Vonk
We study the Type IIA NS five-brane wrapped on a Calabi-Yau manifold X in a double-scaled decoupling limit. We calculate the euclidean partition function in the presence of a flat…
