Finiteness of volume of moduli spaces
Michael R. Douglas, Zhiqin Lu
We give a ``physics proof'' of a conjecture made by the first author at Strings 2005, that the moduli spaces of certain conformal field theories are finite volume in the Zamolodchi…
Statistical analysis of the supersymmetry breaking scale
Michael R. Douglas
We discuss the question of what type and scale of supersymmetry breaking might be statistically favored among vacua of string/M theory, building on comments in Denef and Douglas, h…
A New Hat For The c=1 Matrix Model
M. R. Douglas, I. R. Klebanov, D. Kutasov +3
We consider two dimensional supergravity coupled to matter. This system can also be interpreted as noncritical type 0 string theory in a two dimensional target space. Af…
Seiberg Duality for Quiver Gauge Theories
David Berenstein, Michael R. Douglas
A popular way to study N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories is to realize them geometrically in string theory, as suspended brane constructions, D-branes wrapping cycles in Calabi-Yau…
D-branes on Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Superpotentials
Michael R. Douglas, Suresh Govindarajan, T. Jayaraman +1
We show how to compute terms in an expansion of the world-volume superpotential for fairly general D-branes on the quintic Calabi-Yau using linear sigma model techniques, and show…
D-Branes and N=1 Supersymmetry
Michael R. Douglas
We discuss the recent proposal that BPS D-branes in Calabi-Yau compactification of type II string theory are Pi-stable objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves.
