Supergravity duals of supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories
This article contains an overview of some recent attempts at understanding supergravity and string duals of four dimensional gauge theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the general philosophy underlying the various ways to realize Super YangMills theories in terms of systems of branes. We then review some of the existing duals for N = 2 and N = 1 theories. We also discuss differ...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction of ten - dimensional Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in the N = 1 , D = 4 Superfield Formalism
A ten-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is written in terms of N = 1, D = 4 superfields. The theory is dimensionally reduced over six-dimensional coset spaces. We find that the resulting four-dimensional theory is either a softly broken N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory or a non-supersymmetric gauge theory depending on whether the coset spaces used in the reduction are non-symmetric or sy...
متن کاملOn String Junctions in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We study junctions consisting of confining strings in N = 1 supersymmetric large N gauge theories by means of the gauge/gravity correspondence. We realize them as D-brane configurations in infrared geometries of the Klebanov-Strassler (KS) and the Maldacena-Núñez (MN) solutions. After discussing kinematics associated with the balance of tensions, we compute energies of baryon vertices numerical...
متن کاملIR Dynamics of d = 2 , N = ( 4 , 4 ) Gauge Theories and DLCQ of “ Little String Theories ”
We analyze the superconformal theories (SCFTs) which arise in the low-energy limit of N = (4, 4) supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions, primarily the Higgs branch SCFT. By a direct field theory analysis we find a continuum of “throat”-like states localized near the singularities of the Higgs branch. The “throat” is similar to the “throat” found in the Coulomb branch of the same theori...
متن کاملK3-fibrations and Softly Broken N = 4 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Global geometry of K3-fibration Calabi-Yau threefolds, with Hodge number h 2,1 = r+1, is used to define N = 4 softly broken SU(r+1) gauge theories, with the bare coupling constant given by the dual heterotic dilaton, and the mass of the adjoint hypermultiplet given by the heterotic string tension. The U(r +1) Donagi-Witten integrable model is also derived from the K3-fibration structure, with t...
