D4-D0 Branes on the Quintic
Davide Gaiotto, Monica Guica, Lisa Huang +3
It is proposed that the quantum mechanics of N D4-branes and M D0-branes on the quintic is described by the dimensional reduction of a certain U(N)xU(M) quiver gauge theory, whose…
Re-Recounting Dyons in N=4 String Theory
Davide Gaiotto
The purpose of this brief note is to understand the reason for the appearance of a genus two Riemann surface in the expression for the microscopic degeneracy of 1/4 BPS dyons in N=…
5D Black Rings and 4D Black Holes
Davide Gaiotto, Andrew Strominger, Xi Yin
It has recently been shown that the M theory lift of a IIA 4D BPS Calabi-Yau black hole is a 5D BPS black hole spinning at the center of a Taub-NUT-flux geometries, and a certain l…
Long strings condensation and FZZT branes
D. Gaiotto
We propose a matrix model description of extended D-branes in 2D noncritical string
New Connections Between 4D and 5D Black Holes
D. Gaiotto, A. Strominger, X. Yin
A simple equality is proposed between the BPS partition function of a general 4D IIA Calabi-Yau black hole and that of a 5D spinning M-theory Calabi-Yau black hole. Combining with…
