Supersymmetry breaking metastable vacua in runaway quiver gauge theories
Inaki Garcia-Etxebarria, Fouad Saad, Angel M. Uranga
In this paper we consider quiver gauge theories with fractional branes whose infrared dynamics removes the classical supersymmetric vacua (DSB branes). We show that addition of fla…
Local models of Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking in String Theory
Inaki Garcia-Etxebarria, Fouad Saad, Angel M. Uranga
We describe local Calabi-Yau geometries with two isolated singularities at which systems of D3- and D7-branes are located, leading to chiral sectors corresponding to a semi-realist…
Gauge Theories at Resolved and Deformed Singularities using Dimers
Inaki Garcia-Etxebarria, Fouad Saad, Angel M. Uranga
The gauge theory on a set of D3-branes at a toric Calabi-Yau singularity can be encoded in a tiling of the 2-torus denoted dimer diagram (or brane tiling). We use these techniques…
Fractional Branes and Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Fouad Saad +1
We study the dynamics of fractional branes at toric singularities, including cones over del Pezzo surfaces and the recently constructed Y^{p,q} theories. We find that generically t…
Holographic dual of the Standard Model on the throat
Juan F. G. Cascales, Fouad Saad, Angel M. Uranga
We apply recent techniques to construct geometries, based on local Calabi-Yau manifolds, leading to warped throats with 3-form fluxes in string theory, with interesting structure a…
