Four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory with gauge group SU(N_c) and matter in the adjoint and fundamental representations gives rise to a series of fixed points with an ADE classification. The A and D series exhibit…
We construct a gauge theory on a noncommutative homogeneous K\"ahler manifold, where we employ the deformation quantization with separation of variables for K\"ahler manifolds formulated by Karabegov. A key point in this construction is to…
We use the matrix model -- gauge theory correspondence of Dijkgraaf and Vafa in order to construct the geometry encoding the exact gaugino condensate superpotential for the N=1 U(N) gauge theory with adjoint and symmetric or anti-symmetric…
While M- and F-theory compactifications describe a much larger class of vacua than perturbative string compactifications, they typically need singularities to generate non-abelian gauge fields and charged matter. The physical explanation…
We describe topological gauge theories for which duality properties are encoded by construction. We study them for compact manifolds of dimensions four, eight and two. The fields and their duals are treated symmetrically, within the context…
We present the basic ideas of geometric engineering of the supersymmetric quantum field theories viewed as a low energy limit of type II strings and F-theory on singular Calabi Yau manifolds. We first give the main lines of toric geometry…
In theories with chiral couplings, one of the important consistency requirements is that of the cancellation of a gauge anomaly. In particular, this is one of the conditions imposed on the hypercharges in the Standard Model. However,…
We construct a gauge fixed action for topological membranes on $G_2$-manifold such that its bosonic part is the standard membrane theory in a particular gauge. We prove that quantum mechanically the path-integral in this gauge localizes on…
In this work we study the cancellation of non-perturbative anomalies of gravitational theories with gauge group $\mathbb{Z}_k$ in six dimensions. These subtle anomalies require a classification of deformation classes of manifolds with…
We study some applications of solvable Lie algebras in type IIA, type IIB and M theories. RR and NS generators find a natural geometric interpretation in this framework. Special emphasis is given to the counting of the abelian nilpotent…
We study the manifestation of local gauge anomalies of four- and six-dimensional field theories in the lower-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory obtained after circle compactification. We identify a convenient set of transformations acting on…
We study a bound state of fractional D3/D7-branes in the ten-dimensional space R^{1,5}*R^{4}/Z_2 using the boundary state formalism. We construct the boundary actions for this system and show that higher order terms in the twisted fields…
We study four dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $R^3 \times S^1$ with a circle of radius $R$. They interpolate between four dimensional gauge theories ($R=\infty$) and $N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions…
We construct the BPS quivers with superpotential for the 4d N=2 gauge theories with non-simply laced Lie groups (B_n, C_n, F_4 and G_2). The construction is inspired by the BIKMSV geometric engineering of these gauge groups as non-split…
We construct anomaly free non-supersymmetric large N gauge theories from orientifolds of Type IIB on C^3/G orbifolds. In particular, massless as well as tachyonic one-loop tadpoles are cancelled in these models. This is achieved by starting…
Seiberg-Witten geometry of mass deformed $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal ADE quiver gauge theories in four dimensions is determined. We solve the limit shape equations derived from the gauge theory and identify the space $\mathfrak M$ of…
This thesis deals with the construction of an eleven-dimensional gauge theory, off-shell invariant, for the M Algebra. The theory is built using a Transgression Form as a Lagrangian. In order to accomplish this, one must first analyze the…
We point out two extensions of the relation between matrix models, topological strings and N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. First, we note that by considering double scaling limits of unitary matrix models one can obtain large N duals of…
We study a gauge theory in a 5D warped space via the dimensional deconstruction that a higher dimensional gauge theory is constructed from a moose of 4D gauge groups. By the AdS/CFT correspondence, a 5D warped gauge theory is dual to a 4D…
We construct new N=6 gauged supergravities in four and five dimensions using generalized dimensional reduction. Supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N=4,2,0 with vanishing cosmological constant. We discuss the gaugings of the broken…
