Mirror symmetry for open strings
Shamit Kachru, Sheldon Katz, Albion Lawrence +1
We discuss the generation of superpotentials in four-dimensional, N = 1 supersymmetric field theories arising from type IIA D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles of a Ca…
Invasion of the Giant Gravitons from Anti-de Sitter Space
John McGreevy, Leonard Susskind, Nicolaos Toumbas
It has been known for some time that the AdS/CFT correspondence predicts a limit on the number of single particle states propagating on the compact spherical component of the AdS-t…
Open string instantons and superpotentials
Shamit Kachru, Sheldon Katz, Albion Lawrence +1
We study the F-terms in N=1 supersymmetric, d=4 gauge theories arising from D(p+3)-branes wrapping supersymmetric p-cycles in a Calabi-Yau threefold. If p is even the spectrum and…
