Stable and Metastable Vacua in SQCD
Amit Giveon, David Kutasov
We study deformations of N=1 supersymmetric QCD that exhibit a rich landscape of supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric vacua.
Entanglement as a Probe of Confinement
Igor R. Klebanov, David Kutasov, Arvind Murugan
We investigate the entanglement entropy in gravity duals of confining large gauge theories using the proposal of arXiv:hep-th/0603001, arXiv:hep-th/0605073. Dividing one of t…
Gauge Symmetry and Supersymmetry Breaking From Intersecting Branes
Amit Giveon, David Kutasov
We study a system of intersecting NS and D-branes in type IIA string theory in R^{9,1}. We show that the 3+1 dimensional non-supersymmetric theory at the intersection has unstable…
Accelerating Branes and the String/Black Hole Transition
David Kutasov
String theory in Euclidean flat space with a spacelike linear dilaton contains a D1-brane which looks like a semi-infinite hairpin. In addition to its curved shape, this ``hairpin…
A Geometric Interpretation of the Open String Tachyon
D. Kutasov
Unstable, non-BPS D-branes in weakly coupled ten dimensional string theory have many mysterious properties. Among other things, it is not clear what sets their tension, what is the…
D-Brane Dynamics Near NS5-Branes
D. Kutasov
We use the Dirac-Born-Infeld action to study the real time dynamics of a -brane propagating in the vicinity of -branes. This problem is closely related to tachyon condensa…
