Microstate Dependence of Scattering from the D1-D5 System

Sumit R. Das, Gautam Mandal

We investigate the question of distinguishing between different microstates of the D1-D5 system (with charges Q_1 and Q_5), by scattering with an incoherent beam, composed of a sup…

On the Thermodynamic Geometry of Hot QCD

Stefano Bellucci, Vinod Chandra, Bhupendra Nath Tiwari

We study the nature of the covariant thermodynamic geometry arising from the free energy of hot QCD. We systematically analyze the underlying equilibrium thermodynamic configuratio…

Quiver Topology and RG Dynamics

Vijay Balasubramanian, Bartlomiej Czech, Alfred D. Shapere +1

Renormalization group flows of quiver gauge theories play a central role in determining the low-energy properties of string vacua. We demonstrate that useful predictions about the…

Hawking Radiation and Quantum Anomaly in AdS2/CFT1 Correspondence

Takeshi Morita

In order to understand a boundary description of Hawking radiation in the AdS/CFT correspondence, we investigate the trace anomaly method in AdS space. In this method, Hawking…

The Incompressible Non-Relativistic Navier-Stokes Equation from Gravity

Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Shiraz Minwalla, Spenta R. Wadia

We note that the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics reduce to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a particular scaling limit. In this limit boundary metric fluctuati…

Constraints on "rare" dyon decays

Sunil Mukhi, Rahul Nigam

We obtain the complete set of constraints on the moduli of N=4 superstring compactifications that permit "rare" marginal decays of 1/4-BPS dyons to take place. The constraints are…

Higher-derivative 3-algebras

Mohsen Alishahiha, Sunil Mukhi

Starting with the N=8 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on D2-branes and incorporating higher-derivative corrections to lowest nontrivial order, we perform a duality to derive the L…

Conformal Nonlinear Fluid Dynamics from Gravity in Arbitrary Dimensions

Sayantani Bhattacharyya, R. Loganayagam, Ipsita Mandal +2

We generalize recent work to construct a map from the conformal Navier Stokes equations with holographically determined transport coefficients, in d spacetime dimensions, to the se…

Hydrodynamics from charged black branes

Nabamita Banerjee, Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Sayantani Bhattacharyya +3

We extend the recent work on fluid-gravity correspondence to charged black-branes by determining the metric duals to arbitrary charged fluid configuration up to second order in the…

Bobby Ezhuthachan, Sunil Mukhi, Constantinos Papageorgakis

Starting from maximally supersymmetric (2+1)d Yang-Mills theory and using a duality transformation due to de Wit, Nicolai and Samtleben, we obtain the ghost-free Lorentzian 3-algeb…

M2-branes on M-folds

Jacques Distler, Sunil Mukhi, Constantinos Papageorgakis +1

We argue that the moduli space for the Bagger-Lambert A_4 theory at level k is (R^8 \times R^8)/D_{2k}, where D_{2k} is the dihedral group of order 4k. We conjecture that the theor…

Comments on 1/16 BPS Quantum States and Classical Configurations
