Large N phase transitions in supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory with massive matter

Alejandro Barranco, Jorge G. Russo

We study three-dimensional {\cal N}=2 U(N) Chern-Simons theory on S^3 coupled to 2N_f chiral multiplets deformed by mass terms. The partition function localizes to a matrix integra…

G-structures and Flavouring non-Abelian T-duality

Alejandro Barranco, Jerome Gaillard, Niall Macpherson +2

We examine non-Abelian T-duality on backgrounds preserving N=1 supersymmetry. We show how backgrounds with SU(3)-structure are mapped to backgrounds with SU(2)-structure. We provid…

Supersymmetric BCS: Effects of an external magnetic field and spatial fluctuations of the gap

Alejandro Barranco

Recently an N=1 supersymmetric model of BCS superconductivity was proposed realizing spontaneous symmetry breaking of a U(1)_R symmetry. Due to scalar contributions the superconduc…

Supersymmetric BCS

Alejandro Barranco, Jorge G. Russo

We implement relativistic BCS superconductivity in N=1 supersymmetric field theories with a U(1)_R symmetry. The simplest model contains two chiral superfields with a Kahler potent…

N=1 SQCD-like theories with N_f massive flavors from AdS/CFT and beta functions

Alejandro Barranco, Elisabetta Pallante, Jorge G. Russo

We study new supergravity solutions related to large- supersymmetric gauge field theories with a large number of massive flavors. We use a recently proposed…
