F-Theory, GUTs and Chiral Matter
Martijn Wijnholt
This is a write-up of a two hour talk at the Simons workshop. It contains an elementary introduction to F-theory and may be useful for people new to the subject.
A Higher Form (of) Mediation
Herman Verlinde, Lian-Tao Wang, Martijn Wijnholt +1
We exhibit a simple and robust mechanism for mediation of supersymmetry breaking between geometrically separated D-branes in type II string theory. The mediation proceeds via RR p-…
Geometry of Particle Physics
Martijn Wijnholt
We explain how to construct a large class of new quiver gauge theories from branes at singularities by orientifolding and Higgsing old examples. The new models include the MSSM, de…
Minimal AdS_3
Leonardo Rastelli, Martijn Wijnholt
We show that Type IIB string theory on AdS_3 X S^3 X M_4 with p units of NS flux contains an integrable subsector, isomorphic to the minimal (p,1) bosonic string. To this end, we c…
Five-Dimensional Gauge Theories and Unitary Matrix Models
Martijn Wijnholt
The matrix model computations of effective superpotential terms in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions have been proposed to apply more generally to gauge theories…
On Curvature-Squared Corrections for D-brane Actions
Martijn Wijnholt
Curvature-squared corrections for D-brane actions in type II string theory were derived by Bachas, Bain and Green. Here we write down a generalisation of these corrections to all o…
