Unoriented Strings, Loop Equations, and N=1 Superpotentials from Matrix Models
Sujay K. Ashok, Richard Corrado, Nick Halmagyi +2
We apply the proposal of Dijkgraaf and Vafa to analyze N=1 gauge theory with SO(N) and Sp(N) gauge groups with arbitrary tree-level superpotentials using matrix model techniques. W…
Penrose Limits of RG Fixed Points and PP-Waves with Background Fluxes
Richard Corrado, Nick Halmagyi, Kristian D. Kennaway +1
We consider a family of pp-wave solutions of IIB supergravity. This family has a non-trivial, constant 5-form flux, and non-trivial, (light-cone) time-dependent RR and NS-NS 3-form…
Orbifolds and Flows from Gauged Supergravity
Richard Corrado, Murat Gunaydin, Nicholas P. Warner +1
We examine orbifolds of the IIB string via gauged supergravity. For the gravity duals of the A_{n-1} quiver gauge theories, we extract the massless degrees of freedom and assemble…
