On the boundary coupling of topological Landau-Ginzburg models
C. I. Lazaroiu
I propose a general form for the boundary coupling of B-type topological Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, I show that the relevant background in the open string sector is a (…
Puzzles for Matrix Models of Chiral Field Theories
K. Landsteiner, C. I. Lazaroiu, R. Tatar
We summarize the field-theory/matrix model correspondence for a chiral N=1 model with matter in the adjoint, antisymmetric and conjugate symmetric representations as well as eight…
Chiral field theories from conifolds
K. Landsteiner, C. I. Lazaroiu, Radu Tatar
We discuss the geometric engineering and large n transition for an N=1 U(n) chiral gauge theory with one adjoint, one conjugate symmetric, one antisymmetric and eight fundamental c…
On Sp(0) factors and orientifolds
K. Landsteiner, C. I. Lazaroiu
We discuss the geometric engineering of SO/Sp gauge theories with symmetric or antisymmetric tensor matter and show that the `mysterious' rank zero gauge group factors observed by…
Chiral field theories, Konishi anomalies and matrix models
K. Landsteiner, C. I. Lazaroiu, Radu Tatar
We study a chiral N=1, U(N) field theory in the context of the Dijkgraaf-Vafa correspondence. Our model contains one adjoint, one conjugate symmetric and one antisymmetric chiral m…
(Anti)symmetric matter and superpotentials from IIB orientifolds
K. Landsteiner, C. I. Lazaroiu, Radu Tatar
We study the IIB engineering of N=1 gauge theories with unitary gauge group and matter in the adjoint and (anti)symmetric representations. We show that such theories can be obtaine…
