Nonsupersymmetric dualities from mirror symmetry
Shamit Kachru, Michael Mulligan, Gonzalo Torroba +1
We study supersymmetry breaking perturbations of the simplest dual pair of 2+1-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric field theories -- the free chiral multiplet and N = 2 super-QED with…
Bosonization and Mirror Symmetry
Shamit Kachru, Michael Mulligan, Gonzalo Torroba +1
We study bosonization in 2+1 dimensions using mirror symmetry, a duality that relates pairs of supersymmetric theories. Upon breaking supersymmetry in a controlled way, we dynamica…
Stability of QCD3 from the -Expansion
Hart Goldman, Michael Mulligan
QCD with gauge group flows to an interacting conformal fixed point in three spacetime dimensions when the number of four-component Dirac fermions . We study…
Gravity Duals of Lifshitz-like Fixed Points
Shamit Kachru, Xiao Liu, Michael Mulligan
We find candidate macroscopic gravity duals for scale-invariant but non-Lorentz invariant fixed points, which do not have particle number as a conserved quantity. We compute two-po…
A Gravity Dual of Metastable Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Oliver DeWolfe, Shamit Kachru, Michael Mulligan
Metastable, supersymmetry-breaking configurations can be created in flux geometries by placing antibranes in warped throats. Via gauge/gravity duality, such configurations should h…
Boundary Entropy Can Increase Under Bulk RG Flow
Daniel Green, Michael Mulligan, David Starr
The boundary entropy log(g) of a critical one-dimensional quantum system (or two-dimensional conformal field theory) is known to decrease under renormalization group (RG) flow of t…
