Amihay Hanany,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Coulomb branch of certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and the moduli spaces of magnetic monopoles are explained via string theory, and new phase transitions in three dimensions as well as new infrared fixed points and even new coupling constants are predicted from the string theory construction.

Five dimensional SUSY field theories, non-trivial fixed points and string dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the metric on the Coulomb branch exactly and used stringy considerations to learn about new non-trivial interacting field theories with exceptional global symmetry En (E8, E7, E6, E5 = Spin(10), E4 = SU(5), E3 = SU (3) × SU (2), E2 = SU 2 × U (1) and E(1 = SU 1 ).

S-duality of boundary conditions in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory
Davide Gaiotto,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the S-duality of boundary conditions is closely related to mirror symmetry of three-dimensional gauge theories, and the IR behavior of large classes of quiver gauge theories.

Monopoles, duality and chiral symmetry breaking in N=2 supersymmetric QCD

Electric-magnetic duality in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories
Nathan Seiberg,Nathan Seiberg +1 more
TL;DR: 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.

Branes within branes
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the BPS states (those in reduced multiplets of supersymmetry) are equally fundamental to strong-weak coupling duality and to resolving singularities.

F-theory and orientifolds
TL;DR: In this article, the equivalence between F-theory on K3 and an orientifold of type IIB on T2 was established by a T-duality transformation to type I theory on T 2.
