F-theory and M-theory perspectives on N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions
Alisha Wissanji
Deformations of the original F-theory background are proposed. These lead to multiple new dualities and physical phenomena. We concentrate on one model where we let seven-branes wr…
IIA Perspective On Cascading Gauge Theory
David Kutasov, Alisha Wissanji
We study the N=1 supersymmetric cascading gauge theory found in type IIB string theory on p regular and M fractional D3-branes at the tip of the conifold, using the T-dual type IIA…
F-Theory, Seiberg-Witten Curves and N = 2 Dualities
Keshav Dasgupta, Jihye Seo, Alisha Wissanji
F-theoretic constructions can alternatively be understood as consequences of certain N = 2 Seiberg-Witten theories via type IIB r D3s probing the quantum corrected orientifold back…
Initial Conditions for Non-Canonical Inflation
Paul Franche, Rhiannon Gwyn, Bret Underwood +1
We investigate the dynamics of homogeneous phase space for single-field models of inflation. Inflationary trajectories are formally attractors in phase space, but since in practice…
Attractive Lagrangians for Noncanonical Inflation
Paul Franche, Rhiannon Gwyn, Bret Underwood +1
Treating inflation as an effective theory, we expect the effective Lagrangian to contain higher-dimensional kinetic operators suppressed by the scale of UV physics. When these oper…
Quaternionic Kahler Manifolds, Constrained Instantons and the Magic Square: I
Keshav Dasgupta, Veronique Hussin, Alisha Wissanji
The classification of homogeneous quaternionic manifolds has been done by Alekseevskii, Wolf et al using transitive solvable group of isometries. These manifolds are not genericall…
