The Thermodynamic Potentials of Kerr-AdS Black Holes and their CFT Duals
K. Landsteiner, E. Lopez
String or M-theory in the background of Kerr-AdS black holes is thought to be dual to the large n limit of certain conformal field theories on a rotating sphere at finite temperatu…
Probing the Strong Coupling Limit of Large N SYM on Curved Backgrounds
K. Landsteiner, E. Lopez
According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the strong coupling limit of large n, N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory at finite temperature is described by asymptotically anti de Sitter b…
A Family of N=1 SU(N)^k Theories from Branes at Singularities
E. Lopez
We obtain N=1 SU(N)^k gauge theories with bifundamental matter and a quartic superpotential as the low energy theory on D3-branes at singular points. These theories generalize that…
Duality for SUxSO and SUxSp via Branes
E. Lopez, B. Ormsby
Using a six-orientifold, fourbranes and four fivebranes in type IIA string theory we construct =1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions with product group $…
Evidence for S-Duality in N=4 Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
K. Landsteiner, E. Lopez, D. A. Lowe
Using D-brane techniques, we compute the spectrum of stable BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory, and find it is consistent with Montonen-Olive duality.
