We construct several examples of (2+1) dimensional = 2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories, whose moduli space is given by non-compact toric Calabi-Yau four-folds, which are not derivable from any (3+1) dimensional CFT. One such example is the gauge... Read More about Towards M2-brane theories for generic toric singularities.

SUSY breaking mediation by D-brane instantons (2008)

It is well known that D-brane instantons can generate contributions to the effective superpotential of gauge theories living on D-branes which are perturbatively forbidden by global U(1) symmetries. We extend this idea to theories with supersymmetry... Read More about SUSY breaking mediation by D-brane instantons.

Meta-stable vacua and D-branes at the conifold (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We study gauge theories arising on D‐branes on quotients of the conifold. They exhibit meta‐stable SUSY breaking along the lines of the model by Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih. We propose a candidate for the extrapolation to large't Hooft coupling of... Read More about Meta-stable vacua and D-branes at the conifold.
