S-duality of the Leigh-Strassler Deformation via Matrix Models
Nick Dorey, Timothy J. Hollowood, S. Prem Kumar
We investigate an exactly marginal N=1 supersymmetric deformation of SU(N) N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory discovered by Leigh and Strassler. We use a matrix model to compute…
The D-Instanton Partition Function
Nick Dorey, Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze
The D-instanton partition function is a fascinating quantity because in the presence of N D3-branes, and in a certain decoupling limit, it reduces to the functional integral of N=4…
A Brief History of the Stringy Instanton
Nick Dorey, Timothy J. Hollowood, Valentin V. Khoze
The arcane ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons can be very naturally understood in the framework of D-brane dynamics in string theory. In this point-of-view, the mysterious…
