D-branes, quivers, and ALE instantons
Effective field theories in type I and II superstring theories for D-branes located at points in the orbifold C^2/Z_n are supersymmetric gauge theories whose field content is conveniently summarized…
Branes within branes
Superstring theory has a rich spectrum of solitonic states, and over the last years much has been learned about their important roles in the theory, in strong-weak coupling duality and in resolving…
Chiral Rings and Anomalies in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
Motivated by recent work of Dijkgraaf and Vafa, we study anomalies and the chiral ring structure in a supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with an adjoint chiral superfield and an arbitrary…
New Phenomena in SU(3) Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
Orbifold resolution by D-branes
Noncommutative Geometry and Matrix Theory: Compactification on Tori
We study toroidal compactification of Matrix theory, using ideas and results of noncommutative geometry. We generalize this to compactification on the noncommutative torus, explain the classification…
Branes intersecting at angles
A New Hat For The c=1 Matrix Model
We consider two dimensional supergravity coupled to $\hat c=1$ matter. This system can also be interpreted as noncritical type 0 string theory in a two dimensional target space. After reviewing and…
Distributions of flux vacua
We give results for the distribution and number of flux vacua of various types, supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric, in IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We compare this with…
D-branes, categories and N=1 supersymmetry
We show that boundary conditions in topological open string theory on Calabi–Yau (CY) manifolds are objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves, as foreseen in the homological mirror symmetry…
