We consider non perturbative effects in M-theory compactifications on a seven-manifold of G2 holonomy arising from membranes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles. When membranes are wrapped on associative submanifolds they induce a superpotential that can be calculated using calibrated geometry. This superpotential is also derived from compactification on a seven-manifold, to four dimensional...

We show that the description of D-branes near an orbifold singularity exactly coincides with that of two branes at angles. We use this observation to study string theory on orbifolds, and resolve these singularities. In addition, we consider the compact manifolds with orbifold type singularities and study branes wrapped on these manifolds through the “branes at angles” picture. In this way we p...

We introduce Salmon, a new method for quantifying transcript abundance from RNA-seq reads that is highly-accurate and very fast. Salmon is the first transcriptome-wide quantifier to model and correct for fragment GC content bias, which we demonstrate substantially improves the accuracy of abundance estimates and the reliability of subsequent differential expression analysis compared to existing...
