    • Supersymmetric Spectroscopy 

      Cordova, Clay Alexander (2012-08-17)
      We explore supersymmetric quantum field theories in three and four dimensions via an analysis of their BPS spectrum. In four dimensions, we develop the theory of BPS quivers which provides a simple picture of BPS states ...
    • T-Branes and Monodromy 

      Cecotti, Sergio; Cordova, Clay Alexander; Heckman, Jonathan; Vafa, C. (Springer Verlag, 2011)
      We introduce T-branes, or "triangular branes," which are novel non-abelian bound states of branes characterized by the condition that on some loci, their matrix of normal deformations, or Higgs field, is upper triangular. ...
