We continue to study 5d N= 1 supersymmetric eld theories and their compacti cations on a
circle through brane con gurations. We develop a model, which we call (p; q) Webs, which …

Many important ideas about string duality that appear in conventional T 2 compactification
have analogs for T2 compactification without vector structure. We analyze some of these …

We analyze the dynamics of M-theory on a manifold of G_2 holonomy that is developing a
conical singularity. The known cases involve a cone on CP^ 3, where we argue that the …

We consider configurations of six-branes, five-branes and eight-branes in various
superstring backgrounds. These configurations give rise to (0, 1) supersymmetric theories in …

We study string compactifications with sixteen supersymmetries. The moduli space for these
compactifications becomes quite intricate in lower dimensions, partly because there are …

Following is a collection of lecture notes on D–branes, which may be used by the reader as
preparation for applications to modern research applications such as: the AdS/CFT and …

A bstract We explore the properties of five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories
living on 5-brane webs in orientifold 7-plane backgrounds. These include USp (2N) and SO …

We reconstruct non-trivial 6d theories obtained by Blum and Intriligator by considering IIB or
SO (32) 5 branes at ALE spaces in the language of Hanany-Witten setups. Using ST duality …

We study the T duality between a set of type IIB D3 branes at non-orbifold threefold
singularities, and type IIA configurations of D4 branes stretched between relatively rotated …
