Light-like mesons and deep inelastic scattering in finite-temperature AdS/CFT with flavor

E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller

We use the holographic dual of a finite-temperature, strongly-coupled, gauge theory with a small number of flavors of massive fundamental quarks to study meson excitations and deep…

The Nuts and Bolts of Einstein-Maxwell Solutions

Nikolay Bobev, Clement Ruef

We find new non-supersymmetric solutions of five-dimensional ungauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets. The solutions are regular, horizonless and have the same asympt…

Supergravity Solutions from Floating Branes

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Clement Ruef +1

We solve the equations of motion of five-dimensional ungauged supergravity coupled to three U(1) gauge fields using a floating-brane Ansatz in which the electric potentials are dir…

Scattering and duality in the 2 dimensional OSP(2|2) Gross Neveu and sigma models

H. Saleur, B. Pozsgay

We write the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz for the massive OSp(2|2) Gross Neveu and sigma models. We find evidence that the GN S matrix proposed by Bassi and Leclair [12] is the corre…

Hamiltonian dynamics and the hidden symmetries of the AdS_5 x S^5 superstring

Benoit Vicedo

We construct the Lax connection of the Green-Schwarz superstring in AdS_5 x S^5 within the Hamiltonian formalism and obtain precisely that used in 0810.4136. It differs in a crucia…

Non-renormalization conditions for four-gluon scattering in supersymmetric string and field theory

Nathan Berkovits, Michael B. Green, Jorge G. Russo +1

The constraints imposed by maximal supersymmetry on multi-loop contributions to the scattering of four open superstrings in the U(N) theory are examined by use of the pure spinor f…

A (Running) Bolt for New Reasons

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Clement Ruef +1

We construct a four-parameter family of smooth, horizonless, stationary solutions of ungauged five-dimensional supergravity by using the four-dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild me…

Multi-Center non-BPS Black Holes - the Solution

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Clement Ruef +1

We construct multi-center, non-supersymmetric four-dimensional solutions describing a rotating anti-D6-D2 black hole and an arbitrary number of D4-D2-D0 black holes in a line. Thes…

The Sigma Model on Complex Projective Superspaces

Constantin Candu, Vladimir Mitev, Thomas Quella +2

The sigma model on complex projective superspaces CP^{S-1|S} gives rise to a continuous family of interacting 2D conformal field theories which are parametrized by the curvature ra…

Twistor transform of all tree amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory

G. P. Korchemsky, E. Sokatchev

We perform the twistor (half-Fourier) transform of all tree n-particle superamplitudes in N=4 SYM and show that it has a transparent geometric interpretation. We find that the N^kM…

Quantum Fusion of Domain Walls with Fluxes

S. Bolognesi, M. Shifman, M. B. Voloshin

We study how fluxes on the domain wall world volume modify quantum fusion of two distant parallel domain walls into a composite wall. The elementary wall fluxes can be separated in…

Heterotic N=(0,2) CP(N-1) Model with Twisted Masses

Pavel A. Bolokhov, Mikhail Shifman, Alexei Yung

We present a two-dimensional heterotic N=(0,2) CP(N-1) model with twisted masses. It is supposed to describe internal dynamics of non-Abelian strings in massive N=2 SQCD with N=1-p…

Minimal Basis for Gauge Theory Amplitudes

N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, Poul H. Damgaard, Pierre Vanhove

Identities based on monodromy for integrations in string theory are used to derive relations between different color ordered tree-level amplitudes in both bosonic and supersymmetri…

Non-geometric Backgrounds and the First Order String Sigma Model

Nick Halmagyi

We study the first order form of the NS string sigma model allowing for worldsheet couplings corresponding on the target space to a bi-vector, a two-form and an inverse metric. Lif…

Symmetries and analytic properties of scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory

G. P. Korchemsky, E. Sokatchev

In addition to the superconformal symmetry of the underlying Lagrangian, the scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory exhibit a new, dual superconformal symmetry…

Boost-invariant early time dynamics from AdS/CFT

Guillaume Beuf, Michal P. Heller, Romuald A. Janik +1

Boost-invariant dynamics of a strongly-coupled conformal plasma is studied in the regime of early proper-time using the AdS/CFT correspondence. It is shown, in contrast with the la…

G. C. Giecold

Using the Janik-Peschanski dual to a Bjorken flow, a Langevin equation is derived for a heavy quark in an expanding N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma. Such a plasma is charact…
