M2-branes on Orbifolds of the Cone over Q^{1,1,1}
Sebastian Franco, Igor R. Klebanov, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
We study the N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons quiver gauge theory recently introduced in arXiv:0809.3237 to describe M2-branes on a cone over the well-known Sasaki-Einstein manifold…

N-ification of Forces: A Holographic Perspective on D-brane Model Building
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Herman Verlinde
We study geometric aspects of extensions of the supersymmetric standard model that exhibit a periodic duality cascade. Via the holographic correspondence, the growth of the gauge g…

Mesons and Higgs branch in defect theories
Daniel Arean, Alfonso V. Ramallo, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
We consider the defect theory obtained by intersecting D3- and D5-branes along two common spatial directions. We work in the approximation in which the D5-brane is a probe in the A…
