Gauge/gravity duality and meta-stable dynamical supersymmetry breaking
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastian Franco +1
We engineer a class of quiver gauge theories with several interesting features by studying D-branes at a simple Calabi-Yau singularity. At weak 't Hooft coupling we argue using fie…
Non-supersymmetric Meta-stable Vacua from Brane Configurations
Sebastian Franco, Inaki Garcia-Etxebarria, Angel M. Uranga
We construct configurations of NS-, D4-, and D6-branes in type IIA string theory, realizing the recently discussed non-supersymmetric meta-stable minimum of 4d N=1 SU(N_c) super-Ya…
Dynamical SUSY Breaking at Meta-Stable Minima from D-branes at Obstructed Geometries
Sebastian Franco, Angel M . Uranga
We study the existence of long-lived meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua in gauge theories with massless quarks, upon the addition of extra massive flavors. A simple realizati…
Moduli Spaces of Gauge Theories from Dimer Models: Proof of the Correspondence
Sebastian Franco, David Vegh
Recently, a new way of deriving the moduli space of quiver gauge theories that arise on the world-volume of D3-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau cones was conjectured. Accor…
