Fractional D-branes and their gauge duals
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry associated to fractional D3-branes of type IIB string theory on R^4/Z_2 which provide the gravitational dual for N=2 super Yang-Mills theory in four…

Is a classical description of stable non-BPS D-branes possible?
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We study the classical geometry produced by a stack of stable (i.e. tachyon free) non-BPS D-branes present in K3 compactifications of type II string theory. This classical represen…
