Supersymmetric Wilson loops in N=4 SYM and pure spinors (2009)
Dymarsky, Anatoly, Pestun, Vasily
We study supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We show that the contour of a supersymmetric Wilson loop is either an orbit of some conformal...
Flavor brane on the baryonic branch of moduli space (2009)
We study an extra flavor in the cascading SU((k+1)M)xSU(k M) gauge theory by adding probe D7-brane to the geometry. By finding a solution to the kappa-symmetry equation we establish that the D7-brane...
Chiral Symmetry Breaking with non-SUSY D7-branes in ISD backgrounds (2009)
Dymarsky, Anatoly, Kuperstein, Stanislav, Sonnenschein, Jacob
Supersymmetric probe branes satisfy the kappa-symmetry condition which ensures that the action is minimized with respect to both variations of the embedding and of the world-volume gauge field. We...
Holographic Gauge Mediation (2009)
Benini, Francesco, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Franco, Sebastian, Kachru, Shamit, Simic, Dusan, Verlinde, Herman
We discuss gravitational backgrounds where supersymmetry is broken at the end of a warped throat, and the SUSY-breaking is transmitted to the Standard Model via gauginos which live in (part of) the...
I-odd sector of the Klebanov-Strassler theory (2008)
Dymarsky, Anatoly, Melnikov, Dmitry, Solovyov, Alexander
The Klebanov-Strassler background is invariant under the Z_2 symmetry I, which acts by exchanging the bi-fundamental fields A and B, accompanied by the charge conjugation. We study the background...
Holographic Systematics of D-brane Inflation (2008)
Baumann, Daniel, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Kachru, Shamit, Klebanov, Igor R., McAllister, Liam
We provide a systematic treatment of possible corrections to the inflaton potential for D-brane inflation in the warped deformed conifold. We consider the D3-brane potential in the presence of the...
On Normal Modes of a Warped Throat (2007)
Benna, Marcus K., Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R., Solovyov, Alexander
As shown in arXiv:hep-th/0405282, the warped deformed conifold has two bosonic massless modes, a pseudoscalar and a scalar, that are dual to the phase and the modulus of the baryonic condensates in...
Towards an Explicit Model of D-brane Inflation (2007)
Baumann, Daniel, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R., McAllister, Liam
We present a detailed analysis of an explicit model of warped D-brane inflation, incorporating the effects of moduli stabilization. We consider the potential for D3-brane motion in a warped conifold...
Baumann, Daniel, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R., McAllister, Liam, Steinhardt, Paul J.
We investigate whether explicit models of warped D-brane inflation are possible in string compactifications. To this end, we study the potential for D3-brane motion in a warped conifold that includes...
Baryonic Condensates on the Conifold (2006)
Benna, Marcus K., Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R.
We provide new evidence for the gauge/string duality between the baryonic branch of the cascading SU(k(M+1)) \times SU(kM) gauge theory and a family of type IIB flux backgrounds based on warped...
On D3-brane Potentials in Compactifications with Fluxes and Wrapped D-branes (2006)
Baumann, Daniel, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R., Maldacena, Juan, McAllister, Liam, Murugan, Arvind
We study the potential governing D3-brane motion in a warped throat region of a string compactification with internal fluxes and wrapped D-branes. If the Kahler moduli of the compact space are...
On the Moduli Space of the Cascading SU(M+p)xSU(p) Gauge Theory (2005)
Dymarsky, Anatoly, Klebanov, Igor R., Seiberg, Nathan
We carry out a thorough analysis of the moduli space of the cascading gauge theory found on p D3-branes and M wrapped D5-branes at the tip of the conifold. We find various mesonic branches of the...
Comments on BPS Bound State Decay (2003)
Dymarsky, Anatoly, Melnikov, Dmitry
In N=2 SYM theory with matter non-conservation of the S-charge of a BPS state under monodromies leads to so-called BPS state "decay". A mechanism for such a behavior on the semiclassical level could...
