A Trio of Dualities: Walls, Trees and Cascades
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He
We study the RG flow of N=1 world-volume gauge theories of D3-brane probes on certain singular Calabi-Yau threefolds. Taking the gauge theories out of conformality by introducing f…
Vortices, Instantons and Branes
Amihay Hanany, David Tong
The purpose of this paper is to describe a relationship between the moduli space of vortices and the moduli space of instantons. We study charge k vortices in U(N) Yang-Mills-Higgs…
Duality Walls, Duality Trees and Fractional Branes
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
We compute the NSVZ beta functions for N = 1 four-dimensional quiver theories arising from D-brane probes on singularities, complete with anomalous dimensions, for a large set of p…
Toric Duality, Seiberg Duality and Picard-Lefschetz Transformations
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany
Toric Duality arises as an ambiguity in computing the quiver gauge theory living on a D3-brane which probes a toric singularity. It is reviewed how, in simple cases Toric Duality i…
On Duality Walls in String Theory
Amihay Hanany, Johannes Walcher
Following the RG flow of an N=1 quiver gauge theory and applying Seiberg duality whenever necessary defines a duality cascade, that in simple cases has been understood holographica…
