A Note on (Meta)stable Brane Configurations in MQCD
I. Bena, E. Gorbatov, S. Hellerman +2
We examine the M-theory version of SQCD which is known as MQCD. In the IIA limit, this theory appears to have a supersymmetry-breaking brane configuration which corresponds to the…
Current Correlators and AdS/CFT Geometry
Edwin Barnes, Elie Gorbatov, Ken Intriligator +1
We consider current-current correlators in 4d SCFTs, and also 3d SCFTs, in connection with AdS/CFT geometry. The superconformal symmetry of the SCFT has th…
The Exact Superconformal R-symmetry Minimizes
Edwin Barnes, Elie Gorbatov, Ken Intriligator +2
We present a new, general constraint which, in principle, determines the superconformal symmetry of 4d SCFTs, and also 3d SCFTs. Among all possibilities, t…
Low Energy Supersymmetry From the Landscape
Michael Dine, Elie Gorbatov, Scott Thomas
There has been some debate as to whether the landscape does or does not predict low energy supersymmetry. We argue that under rather mild assumptions, the landscape seems to favor…
Closed String Tachyons and Their Implications for Non-Supersymmetric Strings
Michael Dine, Elie Gorbatov, Igor R. Klebanov +1
Closed string tachyons have long been somewhat mysterious. We note that there is often a regime in the classical moduli space in which one can systematically compute the effective…
