A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for circular quivers
Davide Bason, Roberto Valandro
We study a string-motivated class of -BPS boundary conditions for 4d circular quiver gauge theories, engineered by D4-branes suspended between NS…

F-theorem for Quantum Field Theories in Anti-de Sitter Space
Davide Bason, Christian Copetti, Lorenzo Di Pietro +2
We introduce a regularized free energy for massive quantum field theories (QFTs) on Anti-de Sitter space (AdS). We conjecture this quantity to be monoton…

Super Yang-Mills in AdS and -maximization
Davide Bason, Christian Copetti, Lorenzo Di Pietro +1
We investigate the dynamics of four-dimensional super Yang--Mills theory on an AdS background. We propose that the boundary conditions that preserve the AdS…
