New Perspectives on Yang-Mills Theories With Sixteen Supersymmetries
Ori J. Ganor, Savdeep Sethi
We describe various approaches that give matrix descriptions of compactified NS five-branes. As a result, we obtain matrix models for Yang-Mills theories with sixteen supersymmetri…
The Matrix Formulation of Type IIB Five-Branes
Savdeep Sethi
We present a matrix model which interpolates between type IIA and type IIB NS five-branes. The matrix description involves a three-dimensional bulk quantum field theory interacting…
Comments on Neveu-Schwarz Five-Branes
Nathan Seiberg, Savdeep Sethi
We study the theory of NS five-branes in string theory with a smooth non-trivial transverse space. We show that in the limit that the bulk physics decouples, these theories become…
D-Brane Bound States Redux
Savdeep Sethi, Mark Stern
We study the existence of D-brane bound states at threshold in Type II string theories. In a number of situations, we can reduce the question of existence to quadrature, and the st…
The Mirror Transform of Type I Vacua in Six Dimensions
Ashoke Sen, Savdeep Sethi
We study certain compactifications of the type I string on K3. The three topologically distinct choices of gauge bundle for the type I theory are shown to be equivalent to type IIB…
Rotational Invariance in the M(atrix) Formulation of Type IIB Theory
Savdeep Sethi, Leonard Susskind
The matrix model formulation of M-theory can be generalized by compactification to ten-dimensional type II string theory, formulated in the infinite momentum frame. Both the type I…
