The Large N Limit of Field Theories from Threebranes in F-theory
Ofer Aharony, Ansar Fayyazuddin, Juan Maldacena
We consider field theories arising from a large number of D3-branes near singularities in F-theory. We study the theories at various conformal points, and compute, using their conj…
String Junction Transitions in the Moduli Space of N=2 SYM
O. Bergman, A. Fayyazuddin
The string theory description of BPS states in D-brane world-volume field theories may undergo transitions from open strings to string webs, as well as between different string web…
Large N Superconformal Gauge Theories and Supergravity Orientifolds
A. Fayyazuddin, M. Spalinski
Maldacena's duality between conformal field theories and supergravity is applied to some conformal invariant models with 8 supercharges appearing in the F-theory moduli space on a…
String Junctions and BPS States in Seiberg-Witten Theory
O. Bergman, A. Fayyazuddin
We argue that certain BPS states in the D3-brane probe realization of N=2 SU(2) Super-Yang-Mills theory correspond to multi-pronged strings connecting the D3-brane to the backgroun…
