Holographic flavor in the gauge/gravity duality
Daniel Arean
In this paper we review some results on the generalization of the gauge/gravity duality to include fundamental matter by means of probe branes. We compute the meson spectrum of max…
String duals of two-dimensional (4,4) supersymmetric gauge theories
Daniel Arean, Paolo Merlatti, Carlos Nunez +1
We study duals to field theories in two dimensions with N=(4,4) SUSY. The string backgrounds reproduce certain non-perturbative aspects of the dual field theory with a large number…
Adding flavor on the Higgs branch
Daniel Arean
We study the holographic dual of the Higgs branch of N=4 SYM in four dimensions coupled to quenched fundamental matter. The fundamentals are added via flavor D7-branes and the Higg…
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…
Killing spinors of some supergravity solutions
Daniel Arean
We compute explicitly the Killing spinors of some ten dimensional supergravity solutions. We begin with a 10d metric of the form $\RR^{1,3}\times{\cal Y}_6$, where is…
Open string modes at brane intersections
Daniel Arean, Alfonso V. Ramallo
We study systematically the open string modes of a general class of BPS intersections of branes. We work in the approximation in which one of the branes is considered as a probe em…
