A Note On Zeroes Of Superpotentials In F-Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the dependence of superpotential terms in 4D F-theory on moduli parameters. Two cases are studied: the dependence on world-filling 3-brane positions and the dependence on 2-form VEVs. In the first case there is a zero when the 3-brane hits the divisor responsible for the superpotential. In the second case, which has been extensively discussed by Witten in 3D M-theory, there is a zero for special values of 2-form VEVs when the M-theory divisor contains non-trivial 3-cycles. We give an alternative derivation of this fact for the special case of F-theory.

On singular effective superpotentials in supersymmetric gauge theories
We study N = 1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions with a large number of massless quarks. We argue that effective superpotentials as a function of local gauge-invariant chiral fields should exist for these theories. We show that although the superpotentials are singular, they nevertheless correctly describe the moduli space of vacua, are consistent under RG flow to fewer flavo...
متن کاملFractal Bandpass Filter Using Y-shaped Dual-Mode Resonator for C-Band Receiver (Research Note)
In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...
متن کاملMassless Monopoles Via Confining Phase Superpotentials
We discuss how the structure of massless monopoles in supersymmetric theories with a Coulomb phase can be obtained from effective superpotentials for a phase with a confined photon. To illustrate the technique, we derive effective superpotentials which can be used to derive the curves which describe the Coulomb phase of N = 2, SU (N c) gauge theory with N f < N c flavors.
متن کاملA Note on Flux Induced Superpotentials in String Theory
Non-vanishing fluxes in M-theory and string theory compactifications induce a superpotential in the lower dimensional theory. Gukov has conjectured the explicit form of this superpotential. We check this conjecture for the heterotic string compactified on a CalabiYau three-fold as well as for warped M-theory compactifications on Spin(7) holonomy manifolds, by performing a Kaluza-Klein reduction.
متن کاملA-infinity structure and superpotentials
A∞ algebras and categories are known to be the algebraic structures behind open string field theories. In this note we comment on the relevance of the homology construction of A∞ categories to superpotentials. Branes in Calabi-Yau manifolds are an important arena for uncovering nonperturbative features of string theory, with interesting mathematical phenomena as by-products or important ingredi...
