Geometric Transitions and D-Term SUSY Breaking
Mina Aganagic, Christopher Beem
We propose a new way of using geometric transitions to study metastable vacua in string theory and certain confining gauge theories. The gauge theories in question are N=2 supersym…

Geometric Metastability, Quivers and Holography
Mina Aganagic, Christopher Beem, Ben Freivogel
We use large N duality to study brane/anti-brane configurations on a class of Calabi-Yau manifolds. With only branes present, the Calabi-Yau manifolds in question give rise to N=2…

Geometric Transitions and Dynamical SUSY Breaking
Mina Aganagic, Christopher Beem, Shamit Kachru
We show that the physics of D-brane theories that exhibit dynamical SUSY breaking due to stringy instanton effects is well captured by geometric transitions, which recast the non-p…
