Confinement, Glueballs and Strings from Deformed AdS
Riccardo Apreda, David E. Crooks, Nick Evans +1
We study aspects of confinement in two deformed versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence - the GPPZ dual of N=1* Yang Mills, and the Yang Mills* N=0 dual. Both geometries describe di…
On the Geometry of Matrix Models for N=1*
M. Petrini, A. Tomasiello, A. Zaffaroni
We investigate the geometry of the matrix model associated with an N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with three adjoint fields, which is a massive deformation of N=4. We study in particu…
The 3-string vertex and the AdS/CFT duality in the PP-wave limit
Paolo Di Vecchia, Jens Lyng Petersen, Michela Petrini +2
We pursue the study of string interactions in the PP-wave background and show that the proposal of hep-th/0211188 can be extended to a full supersymmetric vertex. Then we compute s…
Supergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
F. Bigazzi, A. L. Cotrone, M. Petrini +1
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We dis…
Nontrivial RR two-form field strength and SU(3)-structure
Peter Kaste, Ruben Minasian, Michela Petrini +1
We discuss how in the presence of a nontrivial RR two-form field strength and nontrivial dilaton the conditions of preserving supersymmetry on six-dimensional manifolds lead to gen…
