Large N Strong Coupling Dynamics in Non-Supersymmetric Orbifold Field Theories
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Andrew Neitzke, Cumrun Vafa
We give a recipe relating holomorphic quantities in supersymmetric field theory to their descendants in non-supersymmetric Z_2 orbifold field theories. This recipe, consistent with…
Perturbative Derivation of Mirror Symmetry
Mina Aganagic, Cumrun Vafa
We provide a purely perturbative (one loop) derivation of mirror symmetry for supersymmetric sigma models in two dimensions.
A Perturbative Window into Non-Perturbative Physics
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Cumrun Vafa
We argue that for a large class of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories the effective superpotential as a function of the glueball chiral superfield is exactly given by a summation of…
N=1 and N=2 Geometry from Fluxes
Freddy Cachazo, Cumrun Vafa
We provide a proof of the equivalence of N=1 dynamics obtained by deforming N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories by addition of certain superpotential terms, with that of type IIB sup…
Orientifolds, Mirror Symmetry and Superpotentials
Bobby Acharya, Mina Aganagic, Kentaro Hori +1
We consider orientifolds of Calabi-Yau 3-folds in the context of Type IIA and Type IIB superstrings. We show how mirror symmetry can be used to sum up worldsheet instanton contribu…
