N = 1 SCFTs from Brane Monodromy
Jonathan J. Heckman, Yuji Tachikawa, Cumrun Vafa +1
We present evidence for a new class of strongly coupled N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) motivated by F-theory GUT constructions. These SCFTs arise from D3-brane probes…
Exactly Marginal Deformations and Global Symmetries
Daniel Green, Zohar Komargodski, Nathan Seiberg +2
We study the problem of finding exactly marginal deformations of N=1 superconformal field theories in four dimensions. We find that the only way a marginal chiral operator can beco…
BCFW Recursion Relations and String Theory
Clifford Cheung, Donal O'Connell, Brian Wecht
We demonstrate that all tree-level string theory amplitudes can be computed using the BCFW recursion relations. Our proof utilizes the pomeron vertex operator introduced by Brower,…
