Chiral Fermions from Manifolds of Holonomy
Bobby Acharya, Edward Witten
M-theory compactification on a manifold X of holonomy can give chiral fermions in four dimensions only if X is singular. A number of examples of conical singularities that gi…

On Domain Walls of N=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills in Four Dimensions
Bobby Acharya, Cumrun Vafa
We study the BPS domain walls of supersymmetric Yang-Mills for arbitrary gauge group. We describe the degeneracies of domain walls interpolating between arbitrary pairs of vacua. A…

Confining Strings from -holonomy spacetimes
B. S. Acharya
The low energy physics of M theory near certain singularities of -holonomy spacetimes can be described by pure N=1 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. In this note we…
