We consider the $N$-components 3-dimensional massive Gross-Neveu model compactified in one spatial direction, the system being constrained to a slab of thickness $L$. We derive a closed formula for the effective renormalized $L$-dependent…
We study the D3/probe D5 system with two domain wall hypermultiplets. The conformal symmetry can be broken by a magnetic field, B, (or running coupling) which promotes condensation of the fermions on each individual domain wall. Separation…
We analyze $(2+1)$-dimensional vector-vector type four-Fermi interaction (Thirring) model in the framework of the $1/N$ expansion. By solving the Dyson-Schwinger equation in the large-$N$ limit, we show that in the two-component formalism…
Domain wall fermions are defined on a lattice with an extra direction the size of which controls the chiral properties of the theory. When gauge fields are coupled to domain wall fermions the extra direction is treated as an internal flavor…

We study intersecting D-brane models, that describe at low energies a two dimensional chiral fermion theory localized at the intersection. The fermions are coupled to gauge fields in the bulk. The resulting low energy theory is equivalent…
After briefly reviewing the potential for the $N$-flavor Thirring model, formulated with reducible fermions in 2+1$d$, to exhibit a strongly-coupled UV-stable fixed point where U($2N$) symmetry is spontaneously broken by a fermion bilinear…
We explore the phase structure of fermions in the U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory in three dimensions using the large N limit where N is the number of colors and the fermions are taken to be in the fundamental representation of the U(N)…
We address the properties of self-gravitating domain walls arising from the breaking of an SU(N) x Z_2- symmetric theory. In the particular case of N=5, we find that the two classes of stable non-abelian kinks possible in flat space have an…
We introduce a simple scenario where, by starting with a five-dimensional SU(3) gauge theory, we end up with several 4-D parallel branes with localized fermions and gauge fields. Similar to the split fermion scenario, the confinement of…
Massless fermions on scalar domain walls are considered. Two walls are established, corresponding to 5-dimensional static spacetime asymptotically Anti de-Sitter, differentiated by the symmetry around the wall, and in each case massless…
