Thermodynamics of the localized D2-D6 system
Marta Gomez-Reino, Stephen Naculich, Howard Schnitzer
An exact fully-localized extremal supergravity solution for N_2 D2 branes and N_6 D6 branes, which is dual to 3-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N_2) gauge theory with N_6 fundamental…
Many roads lead to N=2 Seiberg-Witten theory
Stephen G. Naculich, Howard J. Schnitzer
The Seiberg-Witten solution plays a central role in the study of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. As such, it provides a proving ground for a wide variety of techniques to treat…
Improved matrix-model calculation of the N=2 prepotential
M. Gomez-Reino, S. G. Naculich, H. J. Schnitzer
We present a matrix-model expression for the sum of instanton contributions to the prepotential of an N=2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory, with matter in various representations.…
Confinement/Deconfinement Transition of Large N Gauge Theories with N_f Fundamentals: N_f/N Finite
Howard J. Schnitzer
We consider large N zero-coupling d-dimensional U(N) gauge theories, with N_f matter fields in the fundamental representation on a compact spatial manifold S^{d-1} x time, with N_f…
Matrix models and N=2 gauge theory
S. G. Naculich, H. J. Schnitzer, N. Wyllard
We describe how the ingredients and results of the Seiberg-Witten solution to N=2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory may be obtained from a matrix model.
