Nongeometric Flux Compactifications
Jessie Shelton, Washington Taylor, Brian Wecht
We investigate a simple class of type II string compactifications which incorporate nongeometric "fluxes" in addition to "geometric flux" and the usual H-field and R-R fluxes. Thes…
Gauge Theories from Toric Geometry and Brane Tilings
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Dario Martelli +3
We provide a general set of rules for extracting the data defining a quiver gauge theory from a given toric Calabi-Yau singularity. Our method combines information from the geometr…
Brane Dimers and Quiver Gauge Theories
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Kristian D. Kennaway +2
We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is…
A New Infinite Class of Quiver Gauge Theories
Amihay Hanany, Pavlos Kazakopoulos, Brian Wecht
We construct a new infinite family of N=1 quiver gauge theories which can be Higgsed to the Y^{p,q} quiver gauge theories. The dual geometries are toric Calabi-Yau cones for which…
N=1 RG Flows, Product Groups, and a-Maximization
Edwin Barnes, Ken Intriligator, Brian Wecht +1
We explore new IR phenomena and dualities, arising for product groups, in the context of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. The RG running of the multiple couplings can radically a…
