Toric Duality as Seiberg Duality and Brane Diamonds
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +1
We use field theory and brane diamond techniques to demonstrate that Toric Duality is Seiberg duality for N=1 theories with toric moduli spaces. This resolves the puzzle concerning…
The Identity String Field and the Tachyon Vacuum
Ian Ellwood, Bo Feng, Yang-Hui He +1
We show that the triviality of the entire cohomology of the new BRST operator Q around the tachyon vacuum is equivalent to the Q-exactness of the identity I of the star-algebra. We…
Testing the Uniqueness of the Open Bosonic String Field Theory Vacuum
Bo Feng, Yang-Hui He, Nicolas Moeller
The operators K_n are generators of reparameterization symmetries of Witten's cubic open string field theory. One pertinent question is whether they can be utilised to generate def…
Orientifold dual for stuck NS5 branes
Bo Feng, Yang-Hui He, Andreas Karch +1
We establish T-duality between NS5 branes stuck on an orientifold 8-plane in type I' and an orientifold construction in type IIB with D7 branes intersecting at angles. Two applicat…
Phase Structure of D-brane Gauge Theories and Toric Duality
Bo Feng, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He
Harnessing the unimodular degree of freedom in the definition of any toric diagram, we present a method of constructing inequivalent gauge theories which are world-volume theories…
