Asymptotic perfect fluid dynamics as a consequence of AdS/CFT

Romuald A. Janik, Robi Peschanski

We study the dynamics of strongly interacting gauge-theory matter (modelling quark-gluon plasma) in a boost-invariant setting using the AdS/CFT correspondence. Using Fefferman-Grah…

Tachyon condensation and D-branes in generalized geometries

Pascal Grange, Ruben Minasian

In generalized complex geometry, D-branes can be seen as maximally isotropic spaces and are thus in one-to-one correspondence with pure spinors. When considered on the sum of the t…

Non-Rational 2D Quantum Gravity: I. World Sheet CFT

I. K. Kostov, V. B. Petkova

We address the problem of computing the tachyon correlation functions in Liouville gravity with generic (non-rational) matter central charge c<1. We consider two variants of the th…

Duality and higher derivative terms in M theory

Michael B. Green, Pierre Vanhove

Dualities of M-theory are used to determine the exact dependence on the coupling constant of the D^6R^4 interaction of the IIA and IIB superstring effective action. Upon lifting to…

The GL(1|1) WZW model: From Supergeometry to Logarithmic CFT

Volker Schomerus, Hubert Saleur

We present a complete solution of the WZW model on the supergroup GL(1|1). Our analysis begins with a careful study of its minisuperspace limit (``harmonic analysis on the supergro…

Non-compact String Backgrounds and Non-rational CFT

Volker Schomerus

This is an introduction to the microscopic techniques of non-rational bulk and boundary conformal field theory which are needed to describe strings moving in non-compact curved bac…

Bulk correlation functions in 2D quantum gravity

I. K. Kostov, V. B. Petkova

We compute bulk 3- and 4-point tachyon correlators in the 2d Liouville gravity with non-rational matter central charge c<1, following and comparing two approaches. The continuous C…

Shift Symmetry and Inflation in Supergravity

Philippe Brax, Jerome Martin

We consider models of inflation in supergravity with a shift symmetry. We focus on models with one moduli and one inflaton field. The presence of this symmetry guarantees the exist…

Hermitean matrix model free energy: Feynman graph technique for all genera

L. Chekhov, B. Eynard

We present a diagrammatic technique for calculating the free energy of the Hermitian one-matrix model to all orders of 1/N expansion in the case where the limiting eigenvalue distr…

Representation theory of sl(2|1)

Gerhard Gotz, Thomas Quella, Volker Schomerus

In this note we present a complete analysis of finite dimensional representations of the Lie superalgebra sl(2|1). This includes, in particular, the decomposition of all tensor pro…

Mixed correlation functions in the 2-matrix model, and the Bethe ansatz

B. Eynard, N. Orantin

Using loop equation technics, we compute all mixed traces correlation functions of the 2-matrix model to large N leading order. The solution turns out to be a sort of Bethe Ansatz,…

Wilson-Polchinski exact renormalization group equation for O(N) systems: Leading and next-to-leading orders in the derivative expansion

C. Bervillier

With a view to study the convergence properties of the derivative expansion of the exact renormalization group (RG) equation, I explicitly study the leading and next-to-leading ord…
