N=2 four-dimensional gauge theories from fractional branes
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, R. Marotta
This is a pedagogical and extended version of the results published in Refs. [1,2] and presented by the authors in various talks during the last year. We discuss the type II D-bran…
Gauge Theories from Dp-branes
Paolo Di Vecchia
In this talk we discuss the need to introduce a string theory in order to obtain a consistent quantum theory of gravity unified with gauge interactions. We then discuss some basic…
Fractional Branes and N=1 Gauge Theories
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, G. Ferretti +1
We discuss fractional D3-branes on the orbifold C^3/Z_2*Z_2. We study the open and the closed string spectrum on this orbifold. The corresponding N=1 theory on the brane has, gener…
Gauge theories from wrapped and fractional branes
P. Di Vecchia, H. Enger, E. Imeroni +1
We compare two applications of the gauge/gravity correspondence to a non conformal gauge theory, based respectively on the study of D-branes wrapped on supersymmetric cycles and of…
N=2 Gauge theories on systems of fractional D3/D7 branes
M. Bertolini, P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +2
We study a bound state of fractional D3/D7-branes in the ten-dimensional space R^{1,5}*R^{4}/Z_2 using the boundary state formalism. We construct the boundary actions for this syst…
