We study, using ADHM construction, instanton effects in an ${\CN}=2$ superconformal $Sp(N)$ gauge theory, arising as effective field theory on a system of $N$ D-3-branes near an orientifold 7-plane and 8 D-7-branes in type I' string theory.…

We calculate the classical cross-section for absorption of a minimally coupled scalar in the double-centered D3-brane geometry. The dual field theory has gauge symmetry broken to S(U(N_1)*U(N_2)) and is on the Coulomb branch of N=4 Super…

We compute the leading low-energy term in the planar part of the 2-loop contribution to the effective action of $\N=4$ SYM theory in 4 dimensions, assuming that the gauge group $SU(N+1)$ is broken to $SU(N) x U(1)$ by a constant scalar…

We study a deformation of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory by a dimension-5 vector operator. There is a simple nonlocal "dipole" field-theory that realizes this deformation. We present evidence that this theory is realized in the setting of…

Supersymmetry is one of the possible scenarios for physics beyond the standard model. The building blocks of this scenario are supersymmetric gauge theories. In our work we study the $\mathcal{N}=1$ Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with gauge…

Domain walls in supersymmetric Yang-Mills are BPS configurations which preserve two supercharges of the parent theory and so their tensions are known exactly. On the other hand, they have been described as D-branes for the confining string.…
