Exact results in non-supersymmetric large N orientifold field theories
We consider non-supersymmetric large N orientifold field theories. Specifically, we discuss a
gauge theory with a Dirac fermion in the antisymmetric tensor representation. We argue that …

Vacuum structure of bifundamental gauge theories at finite topological angles
A bstract We discuss possible vacuum structures of SU (n)× SU (n) gauge theories with
bifundamental matters at finite θ angles. In order to give a precise constraint, a mixed't Hooft …

Spin-two glueballs, positive energy theorems and the AdS/CFT correspondence
NR Constable, RC Myers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We determine the spectrum of graviton excitations in the background geometry of the AdS
soliton in p+ 2 dimensions. Via the AdS/CFT correspondence, this corresponds to …

On orientifolds, discrete torsion, branes and M theory
A Hanany, B Kol - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We find some lifts to M-theory of orientifold and orbifold planes including the O1, O3 and O5
planes of type IIB and their transformations under SL (2, Z). The possible discrete torsion …

Supersymmetry Relics in One-Flavor QCD from a New Expansion
We suggest a new large-N c limit for multiflavor QCD. Since fundamental and two-index
antisymmetric representations are equivalent in SU (3), we have the option to define SU (N …

An update on brane supersymmetry breaking
J Mourad, A Sagnotti - arxiv preprint arxiv:1711.11494, 2017 - arxiv.org
" Brane supersymmetry breaking" is a peculiar phenomenon that can occur in perturbative
orientifold vacua. It results from the simultaneous presence, in the vacuum, of non-mutually …

On the gauge/gravity correspondence and the open/closed string duality
P Di Vecchia, A Liccardo, R Marotta… - International Journal of …, 2005 - World Scientific
In this paper we review the conditions for the validity of the gauge/gravity correspondence in
both supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric string models. We start by reminding what …

[HTML][HTML] AdS vacua from dilaton tadpoles and form fluxes
J Mourad, A Sagnotti - Physics Letters B, 2017 - Elsevier
We describe how unbounded three-form fluxes can lead to families of A d S 3× S 7 vacua,
with constant dilaton profiles, in the US p (32) model with “brane supersymmetry breaking” …

Charged and uncharged D-branes in various string theories
We describe how the D-brane spectra of the various ten-dimensional string theories can be
related to general properties of the open–closed duality, encoded in the S and P matrices of …
