Graded Quivers, Toric Calabi Yaus and B-Branes

Mathematical Physics Seminar

Speaker: Azeem Hasan, CUNY
Location: 2112 MSB

Recently introduced m-graded quivers provide a unified language for describing gauge theories with minimal amount of supersymmetry and their dualities in various dimensions. The prototypical example of these are gauge theories on D-branes probing Calabi-Yau singularities.

In this talk after reviewing how m-graded quivers encode various constraints on these theories, I will describe some general methods of constructing these quivers and use them along with global symmetries to construct a few infinite families of them. Lastly I will explain how these quivers describe Topological B-model on toric Calabi-Yaus.
