D-branes on Calabi-Yau manifolds

PS Aspinwall - arXiv preprint hep-th/0403166, 2004 - arxiv.org
In this review we study BPS D-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Such D-branes naturally
divide into two sets called A-branes and B-branes which are most easily understood from …

Infinite distances in field space and massless towers of states

TW Grimm, E Palti, I Valenzuela - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract It has been conjectured that in theories consistent with quantum gravity infinite
distances in field space coincide with an infinite tower of states becoming massless …

Magnetic monopole dynamics, supersymmetry, and duality

EJ Weinberg, P Yi - Physics reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an
emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After …

Axions in string theory

P Svrcek, E Witten - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
In the context of string theory, axions appear to provide the most plausible solution of the
strong CP problem. However, as has been known for a long time, in many string-based …

Stability conditions on triangulated categories

T Bridgeland - Annals of Mathematics, 2007 - JSTOR
This paper introduces the notion of a stability condition on a triangu lated category. The
motivation comes from the study of Dirichlet branes in string theory, and especially from MR …

Electric-magnetic duality and the geometric Langlands program

A Kapustin, E Witten - arXiv preprint hep-th/0604151, 2006 - arxiv.org
The geometric Langlands program can be described in a natural way by compactifying on a
Riemann surface C a twisted version of N= 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions …

Merging the weak gravity and distance conjectures using BPS extremal black holes

N Gendler, I Valenzuela - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We analyze the charge-to-mass structure of BPS states in general infinite-distance
limits of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 compactifications of Type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau three …
