T-duality and Gauge Theories from Near Horizon Dp-branes
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the significance of T-duality in the context of the gravitational description of gauge theories. We found that T-duality relates the deferents points of the moduli of a given gauge theory always far from the conformal fixed point. Also the described gauge theories seems to flow naturally to the able conformal points, those that naturally saturate all the possible known examples of near horizon geometries. Supersymmetry properties and T-duality breaking of it are discuss. E-mail:[email protected] Unidad de Investigacion asociada al centrode Fisica Miguel Catalan (C.S.I.C.)

Supergravity Duals for N=2 Gauge Theories
We construct supergravity solutions for Dp-branes at orbifold points. The solutions are written in terms of a single function, which is the solution to a nonlinear differential equation. The near horizon limits of these solutions are dual, in the AdS/CFT sense, to super-Yang-Mills theories with 8 supercharges in various dimensions. In particular, we present a dual to N = 2 SU(N) SYM theory in 3...
متن کاملInstabilities of Near-Extremal Smeared Branes and the Correlated Stability Conjecture
We consider the classical and local thermodynamic stability of nonand near-extremal Dp-branes smeared on a transverse direction. These two types of stability are connected through the correlated stability conjecture for which we give a proof in this specific class of branes. The proof is analogous to that of Reall for unsmeared branes, and includes the construction of an appropriate two-paramet...
متن کاملPP-Wave Holography for Dp-Brane Backgrounds
As an extension of the so-called BMN conjecture, we investigate the plane-wave limit for possible holographic connection between bulk string theories in non-conformal backgrounds of Dp-branes and the corresponding supersymmetric gauge theories for p < 5. Our work is based on the tunneling picture for dominant null trajectories of strings in the limit of large angular momentum. The tunneling nul...
متن کاملNeveu-Schwarz Five-Branes at Orbifold Singularities and Holography
We consider Type IIB Neveu-Schwarz five-branes transverse to C/Zn orbifolds and conjecture that string theory on the near horizon geometry is dual to the decoupled theory on the branes. We analyze the conformal field theory describing the near horizon region and the world volume non-critical string theory. The modular invariance consistency condition of string theory is exactly reproduced as th...
متن کاملGauge Theories from D Branes
In these lectures we start with a pedagogical introduction of the properties of open and closed superstrings and then, using the open/closed string duality, we construct the boundary state that provides the description of the maximally supersymmetric Dp branes in terms of the perturbative string formalism. We then use it for deriving the corresponding supergravity solution and the Born-Infeld a...
