Regular Seminar John Estes (Imperial College)
at: 14:00 room B741 abstract: | 3d N=4 superconformal quiver theories arise as the low energy description of intersecting D3/D5/NS5 branes. I will discuss the backreacted solutions describing the near horizon geometry of such configurations. A map between the CFT and supergravity solutions is proposed. As a check, the CFT partition function on S^3 is computed using localization technqiues and matched to the supergravity results. |
