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…
