چکیده

Renormalization group flows of quiver gauge theories play a central role in determining the low-energy properties of string vacua. We demonstrate that useful predictions about the RG dynamics of a quiver gauge theory may be extracted from the global structure of its quiver diagram. For quiver theories of a certain type, we develop an efficient and practical method for determining which superpotential deformations generate a flow to an interacting conformal fixed point.

Gauge Theory RG Flows from a Warped Resolved Orbifold

We study gauge-string duality of D3-branes localized at a point on the resolution of the ALE orbifold C/Z3. By explicitly solving for the warp factor, we demonstrate the holographic RG flow from AdS5 × S/Z3 (far away from the resolution) to the usual AdS5 × S (close to the stack). On the gauge theory side, this maps to the flow between the quiver gauge theory and N = 4 super Yang-Mills. We pres...

A pr 2 00 3 THE AUSLANDER - REITEN QUIVER OF A POINCARÉ DUALITY SPACE

In a previous paper, Auslander-Reiten triangles and quivers were introduced into algebraic topology. This paper shows that over a Poincaré duality space, each component of the Auslander-Reiten quiver is isomorphic to ZA∞.

The Topology of the Space of Strictly Stable Representations of a Quiver

The purpose of this paper is to describe the topology of the space of strictly stable representations of a quiver with fixed dimension vector, where stability is defined with respect to a given parameter (which may be generic or non-generic). The main result is that the homotopy groups of this space are trivial up to a certain dimension, which depends on the quiver, the choice of dimension vect...

Cascading RG Flows from New Sasaki-Einstein Manifolds

In important recent developments, new Sasaki-Einstein spaces Y p,q and conformal gauge theories dual to AdS5 × Y p,q have been constructed. We consider a stack of N D3-branes and M wrapped D5-branes at the apex of a cone over Y . Replacing the D-branes by their fluxes, we construct asymptotic solutions for all p and q in the form of warped products of the cone and R. We show that they describe ...

Geometric Metastability, Quivers and Holography

We use large N duality to study brane/anti-brane configurations on a class of CalabiYau manifolds. With only branes present, the Calabi-Yau manifolds in question give rise to N = 2 ADE quiver theories deformed by superpotential terms. We show that the large N duality conjecture of [1] reproduces correctly the known qualitative features of the brane/anti-brane physics. In the supersymmetric case...
