    • 4d Spectra from BPS Quiver Dualities 

      Espahbodi, Sam (2013-09-26)
      We attack the question of BPS occupancy in a wide class of 4d N = 2 quantum field theories. We first review the Seiberg-Witten approach to finding the low energy Wilsonian effective action actions of such theories. In ...
    • Brane Constructions and BPS Spectra 

      Rastogi, Ashwin (2013-10-07)
      The object of this work is to exploit various constructions of string theory and M-theory to yield new insights into supersymmetric theories in both four and three dimensions. In 4d, we extend work on Seiberg-Witten theory ...
    • Supersymmetric Spectroscopy 

      Cordova, Clay Alexander (2012-08-17)
      We explore supersymmetric quantum field theories in three and four dimensions via an analysis of their BPS spectrum. In four dimensions, we develop the theory of BPS quivers which provides a simple picture of BPS states ...
