String duals of two-dimensional (4,4) supersymmetric gauge theories
Daniel Arean, Paolo Merlatti, Carlos Nunez +1
We study duals to field theories in two dimensions with N=(4,4) SUSY. The string backgrounds reproduce certain non-perturbative aspects of the dual field theory with a large number…
The supergravity dual of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories with unquenched flavors
Felipe Canoura, Paolo Merlatti, Alfonso V. Ramallo
We obtain the supergravity dual of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions with a large number of unquenched massless flavors. The geometries found are obtained by solvin…
On the M-theory description of supersymmetric gluodynamics
Felipe Canoura, Paolo Merlatti
We study the stringy description of N=1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory on R^{1,2} X S^1. Our description is based on the known Klebanov-Strassler and Maldacena-Nunez solutions,…
Getting N=1 super Yang-Mills from strings
P. Merlatti
In the context of the gauge-string correspondence, we discuss the spontaneous partial breaking of supersymmetry. Starting from the orbifold of S^5, supersymmetry breaking leads us…
Fractional branes and the gravity dual of partial supersymmetry breaking
Paolo Merlatti
In type IIB string theory, we consider fractional D3-branes in the orbifold background dual to four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We find the gravitational dual…
N=1 Super Yang-Mills Domain Walls via The Extended Veneziano Yankielowicz Theory
P. Merlatti, F. Sannino, G. Vallone +1
We investigate the vacuum structure of pure SU(N) N=1 super Yang-Mills. The theory is expected to possess N vacua with associated domain walls. We show that the newly extended vers…
