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.
