Non-Critical String Duals of N=1 Quiver Theories
Dan Israel
We construct N=1 non-critical strings in four dimensions dual to strongly coupled N=1 quiver gauge theories in the Coulomb phase, generalizing the string duals of Argyres-Douglas p…
Strings and D-branes in holographic backgrounds
Dan Israel
We review recent progress in the study of non-rational (boundary) conformal field theories and their applications to describe exact holographic backgrounds in superstring theory. W…
D-branes in Lorentzian AdS(3)
Dan Israel
We study the exact construction of D-branes in Lorentzian AdS(3). We start by defining a family of conformal field theories that gives a natural Euclidean version of the SL(2,R) CF…
D-branes in Little String Theory
Dan Israel, Ari Pakman, Jan Troost
We analyze in detail the D-branes in the near-horizon limit of NS5-branes on a circle, the holographic dual of little string theory in a double scaling limit. We emphasize their ge…
