Vortices, instantons and branes
The purpose of this paper is to describe a relationship between the moduli space of vortices and the moduli space of instantons. We study charge vortices in Yang-Mills-Higgs theories and show that…

We describe a technique which enables one to quickly compute an infinite number of toric geometries and their dual quiver gauge theories. The central object in this construction is a ``brane…
Gauge theories from toric geometry and brane tilings

We provide a general set of rules for extracting the data defining a quiver gauge theory from a given toric Calabi-Yau singularity. Our method combines information from the geometry and topology of…
Vortex strings and four-dimensional gauge dynamics
We study the low-energy quantum dynamics of vortex strings in the Higgs phase of = 2 supersymmetric QCD. The exact BPS spectrum of the stretched string is shown to coincide with the BPS spectrum of…
Quivers, tilings, branes and rhombi

We describe a simple algorithm that computes the recently discovered brane tilings for a given generic toric singular Calabi-Yau threefold. This therefore gives AdS/CFT dual quiver gauge theories for…
Dimer models and toric diagrams

- Mathematics
- 19 March 2005
We propose a duality between quiver gauge theories and the combinatorics of dimer models. The connection is via toric diagrams together with multiplicities associated to points in the diagram (which…
