A new family of superconformal quivers with known Sasaki-Einstein duals
Pavlos Kazakopoulos
(MIT)
Abstract:
I will discuss the newly discovered Y(p,q) quiver gauge theories, which are dual to Type IIB string theory on AdS5 x Y(p,q). The metrics on the five-dimensional Y(p,q) manifolds are explicitly known, thus opening up exciting possibilities. Special emphasis will be placed on the toric phases of these theories and their Seiberg duality structure.

In search of the most stable string state
Diego Chialva
(SISSA-ISAS)
Abstract:
Massive (perturbative) string states are interesting in many respects (cosmology, black hole Physics, production at accelerators). We review the research done in order to find the perturbative massive superstring states with very long lifetime, the characteristics of their decay, the emission spectrum, both in fully extended space-time and in the case of toroidal compactifications.
The main result is the identification of a particular state with very long lifetime decaying only by gravitational emission and with thermal-like spectrum.
