TLDR
In this article, the authors demonstrate electric-magnetic duality in N = 1 supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories in four dimensions by presenting two different gauge theories (different gauge groups and quark representations) leading to the same non-trivial long distance physics.

String theory dynamics in various dimensions

TL;DR: The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ⩾ 4 are studied in this paper, where it is argued that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring.

Supergravity and a confining gauge theory: duality cascades and χSB-resolution of naked singularities

TL;DR: In this article, a non-singular pure-supergravity background dual to the field theory on all scales, with small curvature everywhere if the ‘t Hooft coupling gsM is large, was proposed.

Superconformal field theory on threebranes at a Calabi-Yau singularity

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that string theory on AdS5 × X5 can be described by a certain N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, which we describe in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theories with Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

TL;DR: Theoretically, these theories allow for a natural suppression of flavour violations in the supersymmetric sector and have very distinctive phenomenological features as discussed by the authors, and the experimental implications of these theories have been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized Global Symmetries

TL;DR: A q-form global symmetry is a global symmetry for which the charged operators are of space-time dimension q; e.g. strings, membranes, etc. as discussed by the authors, which leads to Ward identities and hence to selection rules on amplitudes.

Electric - magnetic duality, monopole condensation, and confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the vacuum structure and spectrum of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group SU(2), and obtained exact formulas for electron and dyon masses and the metric on the moduli space of vacua.

Global Aspects of Current Algebra

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mathematical framework for the Wess-Zumino chiral effective action is described, and it is shown that this action obeys an a priori quantization law, analogous to Dirac's quantization of magnetic change.

Baryons in the 1/n Expansion

TL;DR: In this article, the existing results concerning mesons and glue states in the large-N limit of QCD are reviewed, and it is shown how to fit baryons into this picture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic monopoles as gauge particles

TL;DR: When quantized, the magnetic monopole soliton solutions constructed by 't Hooft and Polyakov, as modified by Prasad, Sommerfield and Bogomolny, form a gauge triplet with the photon, corresponding to a Lagrangian similar to the original Georgi-Glashow one, with magnetic replacing electric charge as discussed by the authors.

Current Algebra, Baryons, and Quark Confinement

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that ordinary baryons can be understood as solitons in current algebra effective lagrangians, and that the formation of color flux tubes can also be seen under certain conditions.
