We study 12 -BPS vortex-strings in four dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric quiver theories with gauge group SU(N)n × U(1). The matter content of the quiver can be represented by what we call a tetris

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 study the quantum dynamics of vortex strings in = 1 SQCD with U(Nc) gauge group and Nf = Nc quarks. The classical worldsheet of the string has = (0, 2) supersymmetry, but this is broken by quantum

We consider N=1 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and N{sub f}=N quark flavors. To get rid of flat directions we add a meson superfield. The theory has no adjoint fields and, therefore, no
We study the tension of vortices in = 2 SQCD broken to = 1 by a superpotential W(Φ), in color-flavor locked vacua. The tension can be written as T = T BPS+T non BPS . The BPS tension is equal to 4π||
