S-duality of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories
Anson Hook, Gonzalo Torroba
We propose a method for constructing pairs of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories related by S-duality. Starting from a known S-duality of supersymmetric theories realized on the worl…
New solutions with accelerated expansion in string theory
Matthew Dodelson, Xi Dong, Eva Silverstein +1
We present concrete solutions with accelerated expansion in string theory, requiring a small, tractable list of stress energy sources. We explain how this construction (and others…
Supersymmetric Defect Models and Mirror Symmetry
Anson Hook, Shamit Kachru, Gonzalo Torroba
We study supersymmetric field theories in three space-time dimensions doped by various configurations of electric charges or magnetic fluxes. These are supersymmetric avatars of im…
Topological resolution of gauge theory singularities
Fabio Saracco, Alessandro Tomasiello, Gonzalo Torroba
Some gauge theories with Coulomb branches exhibit singularities in perturbation theory, which are usually resolved by nonperturbative physics. In string theory this corresponds to…
Black branes in flux compactifications
Gonzalo Torroba, Huajia Wang
We construct charged black branes in type IIA flux compactifications that are dual to (2+1)-dimensional field theories at finite density. The internal space is a general Calabi-Yau…
