Infrared duality in unoriented Pseudo del Pezzo

Infrared duality in unoriented Pseudo del Pezzo

We study the orientifold projections of the N=1 superconformal field theories describing D3-branes probing the Pseudo del Pezzo singularities PdP3b and PdP3c. The PdP3c parent theory admits two inequivalent orientifolds. Exploiting a maximization, we find that one of the two has an a-charge smaller...
