On the Moduli Space of the Cascading SU(M+p)xSU(p) Gauge Theory
Anatoly Dymarsky, Igor R. Klebanov, Nathan Seiberg
We carry out a thorough analysis of the moduli space of the cascading gauge theory found on p D3-branes and M wrapped D5-branes at the tip of the conifold. We find various mesonic…
Long Strings, Anomaly Cancellation, Phase Transitions, T-duality and Locality in the 2d Heterotic String
Nathan Seiberg
We study the noncritical two-dimensional heterotic string. Long fundamental strings play a crucial role in the dynamics. They cancel anomalies and lead to phase transitions when th…
Non-Supersymmetric Deformations of Non-Critical Superstrings
Nissan Itzhaki, David Kutasov, Nathan Seiberg
We study certain supersymmetry breaking deformations of linear dilaton backgrounds in different dimensions. In some cases, the deformed theory has bulk closed strings tachyons. In…
I-Brane Dynamics
Nissan Itzhaki, David Kutasov, Nathan Seiberg
We study the dynamics near a 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory, using an open string description valid at weak coupling,…
Flux-vacua in Two Dimensional String Theory
Juan Maldacena, Nathan Seiberg
We analyze the two dimensional type 0 theory with background RR-fluxes. Both the 0A and the 0B theory have two distinct fluxes and . We study these two theories at fi…
Heterotic Strings in Two Dimensions and New Stringy Phase Transitions
Joshua L. Davis, Finn Larsen, Nathan Seiberg
We discuss heterotic string theories in two dimensions with gauge groups Spin(24) and Spin(8) x E_8. After compactification the theories exhibit a rich spectrum of states with both…
