Monodromies, Fluxes, and Compact Three-Generation F-theory GUTs
Joseph Marsano, Natalia Saulina, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We analyze constraints for embedding local SU(5) F-theory GUTs into consistent compactifications and construct explicit three-generation models based on the geometry of arXiv:0904.…
Gauge Mediation in F-Theory GUT Models
Joseph Marsano, Natalia Saulina, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We study a simple framework for gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking in local GUT models based on F-theory 7-branes and demonstrate that a mechanism for solving both the μand μ/B_…
Instantons and SUSY breaking in F-theory
Jonathan J. Heckman, Joseph Marsano, Natalia Saulina +2
We study instanton contributions to the superpotential of local F-theory compactifications which could potentially be used to engineer models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. T…
Metastable Vacua in Perturbed Seiberg-Witten Theories, Part 2: Fayet-Iliopoulos Terms and Kähler Normal Coordinates
Joseph Marsano, Hirosi Ooguri, Yutaka Ookouchi +1
We show that the perturbation of an N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory by a superpotential linear in the Kahler normal coordinates of the Coulomb branch, discussed in arXiv:0704.3613,…
Nonsupersymmetric Brane/Antibrane Configurations in Type IIA and M Theory
Joseph Marsano, Kyriakos Papadodimas, Masaki Shigemori
We study metastable nonsupersymmetric configurations in type IIA string theory, obtained by suspending D4-branes and anti-D4-branes between holomorphically curved NS5's, which are…
Two loop partition function for large N pure Yang-Mills theory on a small three-sphere
Ofer Aharony, Joseph Marsano, Mark Van Raamsdonk
We give a direct path-integral calculation of the partition function for pure 3+1 dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills theory at large N on a small three-sphere, up to two-loop order in per…
