String interactions and discrete symmetries of the pp-wave background
Chong-Sun Chu, Michela Petrini, Rodolfo Russo +1
Free string theory on the plane-wave background displays a discrete Z2 symmetry exchanging the two transverse SO(4) rotation groups. This symmetry should be respected also at the i…
A note on string interaction on the pp-wave background
Chong-Sun Chu, Valentin V. Khoze, Michela Petrini +2
We consider type IIB string interaction on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background and discuss how the bosonic symmetries of the background are realized. This analysis show…
Kaluza-Klein bundles and manifolds of exceptional holonomy
Peter Kaste, Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini +1
We show how in the presence of RR two-form field strength the conditions for preserving supersymmetry on six- and seven-dimensional manifolds lead to certain generalizations of mon…
The Gravity Dual of Softly Broken N=1 Super Yang-Mills
N. Evans, M. Petrini, A. Zaffaroni
Starting from the Maldacena-Nunez supergravity dual of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory we study the inclusion of a supersymmetry breaking gaugino mass term. We consider a class of non…
