We provide a general set of rules for extracting the data defining a quiver gauge theory from
a given toric Calabi-Yau singularity. Our method combines information from the geometry …

Dimer models from mirror symmetry and quivering amoebae

B Feng, YH He, KD Kennaway, C Vafa - 2008 - projecteuclid.org
Dimer models are 2-dimensional combinatorial systems that have been shown to encode
the gauge groups, matter content and tree-level superpotential of the world-volume quiver …

Brane tilings and their applications

M Yamazaki - Fortschritte der Physik: Progress of Physics, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
We review recent developments in the theory of brane tilings and four‐dimensional 𝒩= 1
supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. This review consists of two parts. In part I, we …

R-charges from toric diagrams and the equivalence of a-maximization and Z-minimization

A Butti, A Zaffaroni - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We conjecture a general formula for assigning R-charges and multiplicities for the chiral
fields of all gauge theories living on branes at toric singularities. We check that the central …

The dual superconformal theory for Lp, q, r manifolds

We present the superconformal gauge theory living on the world-volume of D3 branes
probing the toric singularities with horizon the recently discovered Sasaki-Einstein manifolds …

From Sasaki-Einstein spaces to quivers via BPS geodesics: Lp, q| r

S Benvenuti, M Kruczenski - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
The AdS/CFT correspondence between Sasaki-Einstein spaces and quiver gauge theories
is studied from the perspective of massless BPS geodesics. The recently constructed toric L …

Unquenched flavors in the Klebanov-Witten model

F Benini, S Cremonesi, F Canoura… - Journal of High …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
Using AdS/CFT, we study the addition of an arbitrary number of backreacting flavors to the
Klebanov-Witten theory, making many checks of consistency between our new Type IIB plus …

Analytic nonintegrability in string theory
