We study the quantum corrections to the moduli space of the quiver gauge theory corresponding to regular and fractional D3-branes at the dP1 singularity. We find that besides the known runaway behavior at the lowest step of the duality cascade, there is a runaway direction along a mesonic branch at every higher step of the cascade. Moreover, the algebra of the chiral operators which obtain the large expectation values is such that we reproduce Altmann's first order deformation of the dP1 cone…

The mesonic branch of the deformed conifold

Using coordinates that manifest the S2-S3 split of the base, we study D3-branes localized on the three-sphere in the Klebanov-Strassler background. We find a numerical solution for the warp factor…

The Octagon at large M

Recently, the first instance of a model of D-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua has been proposed. This construction was based on a system…

The runaway quiver

We point out that some recently proposed string theory realizations of dynamical supersymmetry breaking actually do not break supersymmetry in the usual desired sense. Instead, there is a runaway…

Supersymmetry breaking at the end of a cascade of Seiberg dualities

Cascading quivers from decaying D-branes

We use an argument analogous to that of Kachru, Pearson and Verlinde to argue that cascades in La,b,c quiver gauge theories always preserve the form of the quiver, and that all gauge groups drop at…

Metastable vacua and D-branes at the conifold

Supersymmetry Breaking from a Calabi-Yau Singularity
