Meta-Stable Brane Configurations by Higher Order Polynomial Superpotential
We construct the type IIA nonsupersymmetric meta-stable brane configuration
consisting of (2k+1) NS5-branes and D4-branes where the electric gauge theory
superpotential has an order (2k+2) polynomial for the bifundamentals. We find a
rich pattern of nonsupersymmetric meta-stable states as well as the
supersymmetric stable ones. By adding the orientifold 4-plane to this brane
configuration, we also describe the intersecting brane configuration of type
IIA string theory corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of
corresponding gauge theory.Comment: 27pp, 8 figures; some footnotes added; to appear in IJMP
More on Meta-Stable Brane Configuration
We describe the intersecting brane configuration of type IIA string theory
corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua in four dimensional
N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theory with an antisymmetric flavor, a
conjugate symmetric flavor, eight fundamental flavors, m_f fundamental flavors
and m_f antifundamental flavors. This is done by analyzing the N=1
supersymmetric SU(2m_f-N_c+4) magnetic gauge theory with dual matters and the
corresponding dual superpotential.Comment: 20 pp, 3 figures; Pages 11,12, and 14 improved; to appear in CQ
Atomic scale lattice distortions and domain wall profiles
We present an atomic scale theory of lattice distortions using strain related
variables and their constraint equations. Our approach connects constrained
{\it atomic length} scale variations to {\it continuum} elasticity and
describes elasticity at several length scales. We apply the approach to a
two-dimensional square lattice with a monatomic basis, and find the elastic
deformations and hierarchical atomic relaxations in the vicinity of a domain
wall between two different homogeneous strain states. We clarify the
microscopic origin of gradient terms, some of which are included
phenomenologically in Ginzburg-Landau theory, by showing that they are
anisotropic.Comment: 6 figure
Superspace WZW Models and Black Holes
We show how to write an off-shell action for the
supersymmetric WZW model in terms of chiral and twisted chiral
multiplets. We discuss the supersymmetry of this model and exhibit the
superconformal current algebra. Finally, we show that the off-shell
formulation makes it possible to perform a duality transformation, which leads
to a supersymmetric sigma model on a manifold with a black hole type
singularity.Comment: 12 page
The Large N 't Hooft Limit of Kazama-Suzuki Model
We consider N=2 Kazama-Suzuki model on CP^N=SU(N+1)/SU(N)xU(1). It is known
that the N=2 current algebra for the supersymmetric WZW model, at level k, is a
nonlinear algebra. The N=2 W_3 algebra corresponding to N=2 was recovered from
the generalized GKO coset construction previously. For N=4, we construct one of
the higher spin currents, in N=2 W_5 algebra, with spins (2, 5/2, 5/2, 3). The
self-coupling constant in the operator product expansion of this current and
itself depends on N as well as k explicitly. We also observe a new higher spin
primary current of spins (3, 7/2, 7/2, 4). From the behaviors of N=2, 4 cases,
we expect the operator product expansion of the lowest higher spin current and
itself in N=2 W_{N+1} algebra. By taking the large (N, k) limit on the various
operator product expansions in components, we reproduce, at the linear order,
the corresponding operator product expansions in N=2 classical
W_{\infty}^{cl}[\lambda] algebra which is the asymptotic symmetry of the higher
spin AdS_3 supergravity found recently.Comment: 44 pages; the two typos in the first paragraph of page 23 corrected

Meta-Stable Brane Configurations with Seven NS5-Branes
We present the intersecting brane configurations consisting of NS-branes,
D4-branes(and anti D4-branes) and O6-plane, of type IIA string theory
corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua in four dimensional
N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_c) x SU(N_c') x SU(N_c'') gauge theory with a symmetric
tensor field, a conjugate symmetric tensor field and bifundamental fields. We
also describe the intersecting brane configurations of type IIA string theory
corresponding to the nonsupersymmetric meta-stable vacua in the above gauge
theory with an antisymmetric tensor field, a conjugate symmetric tensor field,
eight fundamental flavors and bifundamentals. These brane configurations
consist of NS-branes, D4-branes(and anti D4-branes), D6-branes and O6-planes.Comment: 34pp, 9 figures; Improved the draft and added some footnotes; Figure

The Operator Product Expansion of the Lowest Higher Spin Current at Finite N
For the N=2 Kazama-Suzuki(KS) model on CP^3, the lowest higher spin current
with spins (2, 5/2, 5/2,3) is obtained from the generalized GKO coset
construction. By computing the operator product expansion of this current and
itself, the next higher spin current with spins (3, 7/2, 7/2, 4) is also
derived. This is a realization of the N=2 W_{N+1} algebra with N=3 in the
supersymmetric WZW model. By incorporating the self-coupling constant of lowest
higher spin current which is known for the general (N,k), we present the
complete nonlinear operator product expansion of the lowest higher spin current
with spins (2, 5/2, 5/2, 3) in the N=2 KS model on CP^N space. This should
coincide with the asymptotic symmetry of the higher spin AdS_3 supergravity at
the quantum level. The large (N,k) 't Hooft limit and the corresponding
classical nonlinear algebra are also discussed.Comment: 62 pages; the footnotes added, some redundant appendices removed, the
presentations in the whole paper improved and to appear in JHE
Sublinear Estimation of Weighted Matchings in Dynamic Data Streams
This paper presents an algorithm for estimating the weight of a maximum
weighted matching by augmenting any estimation routine for the size of an
unweighted matching. The algorithm is implementable in any streaming model
including dynamic graph streams. We also give the first constant estimation for
the maximum matching size in a dynamic graph stream for planar graphs (or any
graph with bounded arboricity) using space which also
extends to weighted matching. Using previous results by Kapralov, Khanna, and
Sudan (2014) we obtain a approximation for general graphs
using space in random order streams, respectively. In
addition, we give a space lower bound of for any
randomized algorithm estimating the size of a maximum matching up to a
factor for adversarial streams
