Planar Gravitational Corrections For Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
R. Dijkgraaf, M. T. Grisaru, H. Ooguri +2
In this paper we discuss the contribution of planar diagrams to gravitational F-terms for N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories admitting a large N description. We show how the planar…
A Geometric Unification of Dualities
F. Cachazo, B. Fiol, K. Intriligator +2
We study the dynamics of a large class of N=1 quiver theories, geometrically realized by type IIB D-brane probes wrapping cycles of local Calabi-Yau threefolds. These include N=2 (…
Geometric Transitions and N=1 Quiver Theories
F. Cachazo, S. Katz, C. Vafa
We construct N=1 supersymmetric theories on worldvolumes of D5 branes wrapped around 2-cycles of threefolds which are A-D-E fibrations over a plane. We propose large N duals as geo…
Conformal Approach to Particle Phenomenology
P. H. Frampton, C. Vafa
We propose the existence of a non-supersymmetric conformal field theory softly broken at the TeV scale as a new mechanism for solving the hierarchy problem. We find the imposition…
Geometric Singularities and Enhanced Gauge Symmetries
M. Bershadsky, K. Intriligator, S. Kachru +3
Using ``Tate's algorithm,'' we identify loci in the moduli of F-theory compactifications corresponding to enhanced gauge symmetry. We apply this to test the proposed F-theory/heter…
