We consider a nonsupersymmetric Hanany-Witten type IIB brane configuration that realizes a threedimensional USpð2NÞ gauge theory with quarks in the two-index antisymmetric representation and SOð4Þ flavor symmetry. Using type IIB S-duality we find the... Read More about QCD3 with two-index quarks, mirror symmetry, and fivebrane anti-BIons near orientifolds.

It is known that the two- and three-point functions of Higgs-branch superconformal primaries in 4d N = 2 superconformal field theories obey nonrenormalization theorems on N = 2 superconformal manifolds. In this paper, we prove a stronger statement—th... Read More about Geometry of Higgs-branch superconformal primary bundles.

Phases of QCD_3 from non-SUSY Seiberg duality and brane dynamics (2018)

We consider a nonsupersymmetric USp Yang-Mills Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to fundamental flavors. The theory is realised in type-IIB string theory via an embedding in a Hanany-Witten brane configuration which includes an orientifold and antibr...
