We examine the effects of instantons in four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory by including D0-branes in type IIA brane constructions. We examine instanton generated superpotentials in supersymmetric QCD and find that they are due to a repulsive force between D4-branes bound to D0-branes ending on NS 5-branes. We study situations where instanton effects break supersymmetry such as the Intriligator-Thomas-Izawa-Yangagida model and relate this to a IIA brane construction. We also argue how confinement due to a condensate of fractional instantons manifests itself in Super Yang-Mills theory using fractional D0 branes, D4 branes, and NS strings.

Quantum corrections to DGKT and the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Quantum corrections from gaugino condensation and D2 instantons lift the DGKT D4-brane moduli space, making the branes self-attractive and putting the vacuum in tension with the membrane WGC.

IIB flux non-commutativity and the global structure of field theories
The paper traces the global-structure ambiguity of 6d (2,0) theories to non-commuting RR flux boundary conditions in IIB on C^2/Γ, reproducing the known classification of 4d N=4 theories and adding new results on dual...
