D-terms and D-strings in open string models
Albion Lawrence, John McGreevy
We study the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D-terms on D-branes in type II Calabi-Yau backgrounds. We provide a simple worldsheet proof of the fact that, at tree level, these terms only cou…
The Large N Harmonic Oscillator as a String Theory
Nissan Itzhaki, John McGreevy
We propose a duality between the large-N gauged harmonic oscillator and a novel string theory in two dimensions.
Remarks on branes, fluxes, and soft SUSY breaking
Albion Lawrence, John McGreevy
We review recent work identifying soft SUSY-breaking terms in local type II string models with branes and magnetic fluxes. We then make a new observation about the configuration sp…
Local string models of soft supersymmetry breaking
Albion Lawrence, John McGreevy
We study soft supersymmetry breaking in local models of type II string theory compactifications with branes and fluxes. In such models, magnetic fluxes can be treated as auxiliary…
