Description

In the context of AdS/CFT, brane tiling allows us to construct the dual gauge theories associated with toric geometries. Studying the orientifold projection of such gauge theories and their conformal points via a-maximization, we show that for three infinite families of theories the projection reduces the degrees of freedom by more than a half and that these families are related by a web of dualities.
