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…
Effective Potentials and the Vacuum Structure of Quantum Field Theories
Kristian D. Kennaway
I review some older work on the effective potentials of quantum field theories, in particular the use of anomalous symmetries to constrain the form of the effective potential, and…
Effective Superpotentials, Geometry and Integrable Systems
Kristian D. Kennaway, Nicholas P. Warner
We consider the effective superpotentials of N=1 SU(N_c) and U(N_c) supersymmetric gauge theories that are obtained from the N=2 theory by adding a tree-level superpotential. We sh…
Penrose Limits of RG Fixed Points and PP-Waves with Background Fluxes
Richard Corrado, Nick Halmagyi, Kristian D. Kennaway +1
We consider a family of pp-wave solutions of IIB supergravity. This family has a non-trivial, constant 5-form flux, and non-trivial, (light-cone) time-dependent RR and NS-NS 3-form…
