On the Existence of Meta-stable Vacua in Klebanov-Strassler
Iosif Bena, Mariana Grana, Nick Halmagyi
We solve for the complete space of linearized deformations of the Klebanov-Strassler background consistent with the symmetries preserved by a stack of anti-D3 branes smeared on the…

Non-geometric Backgrounds and the First Order String Sigma Model
Nick Halmagyi
We study the first order form of the NS string sigma model allowing for worldsheet couplings corresponding on the target space to a bi-vector, a two-form and an inverse metric. Lif…

Holographic, N=1 Supersymmetric RG Flows on M2 Branes
Nikolay Bobev, Nick Halmagyi, Krzysztof Pilch +1
We find a family of holographic N=1 supersymmetric RG flows on M2 branes. These flows are driven by two mass parameters from the maximally (N=8) supersymmetric theory and the infra…
