We conjecture a general expression for the free energy that is explicitly invariant under Seiberg duality and show that it can be interpreted as a sum over certain graphs known as signed graphs. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence, this leads to a prediction for the volume of certain tri-Sasaki Einstein manifolds. We also study the unfolding procedure, which relates these D_n quivers to A_{2n-5} quivers. Furthermore, we consider the addition of massive fundamental flavor fields, verifying that integrating these out decreases the free energy in accordance with the F-theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-11-06T21:00:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free energy", "quiver chern-simons theories", "chern-simons matter theories", "tri-sasaki einstein manifolds", "massive fundamental flavor fields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/JHEP03(2013)039" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1199022, "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.1388M" } } }
