Near-horizon geometry with torsion
B. Cvetković, D. Simić
We investigate near-horizon geometry of the rotating Bañados Teiteilboim Zanelli (BTZ) black hole with torsion. Our main motivation is to gain insight into the role of torsion in t…
Deconfinement in Yang-Mills theory through toroidal compactification with deformation
Dusan Simic, Mithat Unsal
We introduce field theory techniques through which the deconfinement transition of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory can be moved to a semi-classical domain where it becomes calcu…
Metastable Vacua in Warped Throats at Non-Isolated Singularities
Dusan Simic
We study the existence of metastable vacua in cascades based on fractional brane configurations at non-isolated singularities preserving N = 1 supersymmetry. We find that in a larg…
Cascades with Adjoint Matter: Adjoint Transitions
Dusan Simic
A large class of duality cascades based on quivers arising from non-isolated singularities enjoy adjoint transitions - a phenomenon which occurs when the gauge coupling of a node p…
Stable Non-Supersymmetric Throats in String Theory
Shamit Kachru, Dusan Simic, Sandip P. Trivedi
We construct a large class of non-supersymmetric AdS-like throat geometries in string theory by taking non-supersymmetric orbifolds of supersymmetric backgrounds. The scale of SUSY…
Holographic Gauge Mediation
Francesco Benini, Anatoly Dymarsky, Sebastian Franco +3
We discuss gravitational backgrounds where supersymmetry is broken at the end of a warped throat, and the SUSY-breaking is transmitted to the Standard Model via gauginos which live…
Stringy Instantons in IIB Brane Systems
Shamit Kachru, Dusan Simic
In this note, we study D-brane instantons which intersect N=1 supersymmetric configurations of space-filling D-branes in general Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIB string the…
