Fractional Branes, Confinement, and Dynamically Generated Superpotentials
We examine the effects of instantons in four-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory by including D0-branes in type IIA brane constructions. We examine instantongenerated superpotentials in supersymmetric QCD and find that they are due to a repulsive force between D4-branes bound to D0-branes ending on NS 5-branes. We study situations where instanton effects break supersymmetry such as th...
متن کاملModuli Webs and Superpotentials for Five-Branes
We investigate the one-parameter Calabi-Yau models and identify families of D5-branes which are associated to lines embedded in these manifolds. The moduli spaces are given by sets of Riemann curves, which form a web whose intersection points are described by permutation branes. We arrive at a geometric interpretation for bulk-boundary correlators as holomorphic differentials on the moduli spac...
متن کاملSuperconformal D-branes and moduli spaces
The on-going quest for a single theory that describes all the forces of nature has led to the discovery of string theory. This is the only known theory that successfully unifies gravity with the electroweak and strong forces. It postulates that the fundamental building blocks of nature are strings, and that all particles arise as different excitations of strings. This theory is still poorly und...
متن کاملSuperpotentials for Superconformal Chern–simons Theories from Representation Theory
These notes provide a detailed account of the universal structure of superpotentials defining a large class of superconformal Chern–Simons theories with matter, many of which appear as the low-energy descriptions of multiple M2-brane configurations. The amount of superconformal symmetry in the Chern–Simons-matter theory determines the minimum amount of global symmetry that the associated quarti...
متن کاملDiagonal arguments and fixed points
A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S. Yanofsky (2003), based on a pioneering work of F.W. Lawvere (1969), in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function. It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema. Here, we fi...
