Marginal Deformations from Branes

چکیده
We study brane configurations for four dimensionalN=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with quartic superpotentials which flow in the infrared to manifolds of interacting superconformal fixed points. We enumerate finite N=2 theories, from which a large class of marginal N=1 theories descend. We give the brane descriptions of these theories in Type IIA and Type IIB string theory. The Type IIB descriptions are in terms of D3 branes in orientifold and generalized conifold backgrounds. We calculate the Weyl and Euler anomalies in these theories, and find that they are equal in elliptic models and unequal in a large class of finite N=2 and marginal N=1 non-elliptic theories.

Marginal Deformations In the Open Bosonic String Field Theory for N D0-branes
In this short note we give an example of the exact solution of the open bosonic string field theory defined on the background of N coincided D0-branes. This solution leads to the change of the original background to the background where D0-branes are localised in general positions.
متن کاملExact marginality in open string field theory: a general framework
We construct analytic solutions of open bosonic string field theory for any exactly marginal deformation in any boundary conformal field theory when properly renormalized operator products of the marginal operator are given. We explicitly provide such renormalized operator products for a class of marginal deformations which include the deformations of flat D-branes in flat backgrounds by consta...
متن کاملMarginal and Relevant Deformations of N=4 Field Theories and Non-Commutative Moduli Spaces of Vacua
We study marginal and relevant supersymmetric deformations of the N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. Our primary innovation is the interpretation of the moduli spaces of vacua of these theories as non-commutative spaces. The construction of these spaces relies on the representation theory of the related quantum algebras, which are obtained from F -term constraints. These field th...
متن کاملBPS D-branes on Non-supersymmetric Cycles
In certain regions of the moduli space of K3 and Calabi-Yau manifolds, D-branes wrapped on non-supersymmetric cycles may give rise to stable configurations. We show that in the orbifold limit, some of these stable configurations can be described by solvable boundary conformal field theories. The world-volume theory of N coincident branes of this type is described by a non-supersymmetric U(N) ga...
متن کاملMarginal Deformations as Lower Dimensional D–brane Solutions in Open String Field theory
By direct calculation we showed that a finite analytic solution for marginal deformation of open string field theory, by a matter primary operator with singular OPE, can be obtained to all orders in the deformation parameter. In particular, we obtained solutions that describe lower dimensional D–branes and our results agree with the results obtained when the same problem is treated in the world...
