Quivers, Tilings, Branes and Rhombi
Amihay Hanany, David Vegh
We describe a simple algorithm that computes the recently discovered brane tilings for a given generic toric singular Calabi-Yau threefold. This therefore gives AdS/CFT dual quiver…
On Monopoles and Domain Walls
Amihay Hanany, David Tong
The purpose of this paper is to describe a relationship between maximally supersymmetric domain walls and magnetic monopoles. We show that the moduli space of domain walls in non-a…
Fractional Branes and Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Fouad Saad +1
We study the dynamics of fractional branes at toric singularities, including cones over del Pezzo surfaces and the recently constructed Y^{p,q} theories. We find that generically t…
Gauge Theories from Toric Geometry and Brane Tilings
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Dario Martelli +3
We provide a general set of rules for extracting the data defining a quiver gauge theory from a given toric Calabi-Yau singularity. Our method combines information from the geometr…
Brane Dimers and Quiver Gauge Theories
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Kristian D. Kennaway +2
We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is…
A New Infinite Class of Quiver Gauge Theories
Amihay Hanany, Pavlos Kazakopoulos, Brian Wecht
We construct a new infinite family of N=1 quiver gauge theories which can be Higgsed to the Y^{p,q} quiver gauge theories. The dual geometries are toric Calabi-Yau cones for which…
Dimer models and toric diagrams
Amihay Hanany, Kristian D. Kennaway
We propose a duality between quiver gauge theories and the combinatorics of dimer models. The connection is via toric diagrams together with multiplicities associated to points in…
Multi-Flux Warped Throats and Cascading Gauge Theories
Sebastian Franco, Amihay Hanany, Angel M. Uranga
We describe duality cascades and their infrared behavior for systems of D3-branes at singularities given by complex cones over del Pezzo surfaces (and related examples), in the pre…
Conformal Manifolds for the Conifold and other Toric Field Theories
Sergio Benvenuti, Amihay Hanany
In the space of couplings of the 4D N=1 gauge theory associated to D3 branes probing Calabi-Yau singularities, there is a manifold over which superconformal invariance is preserved…
Reconnection of Colliding Cosmic Strings
Amihay Hanany, Koji Hashimoto
For vortex strings in the Abelian Higgs model and D-strings in superstring theory, both of which can be regarded as cosmic strings, we give analytical study of reconnection (recomb…
