Hairy black holes and solitons in global AdS 5

Oscar J. C. Dias, Pau Figueras, Shiraz Minwalla +3

We use a mix of analytic and numerical methods to exhaustively study a class of asymptotically global AdS solitons and hairy black hole solutions in negative cosmological constant…

Bimodule structure in the periodic gl(1|1) spin chain

A. M. Gainutdinov, N. Read, H. Saleur

This paper is second in a series devoted to the study of periodic super-spin chains. In our first paper at 2011, we have studied the symmetry algebra of the periodic gl(1|1) spin c…

Continuum limit and symmetries of the periodic gl(1|1) spin chain

A. M. Gainutdinov, N. Read, H. Saleur

This paper is the first in a series devoted to the study of logarithmic conformal field theories (LCFT) in the bulk. Building on earlier work in the boundary case, our general stra…

On classical de Sitter solutions in higher dimensions

Thomas Van Riet

We derive necessary criteria for the existence of classical, meta-stable, de Sitter solutions in flux compactifications of type II supergravity down to dimensions higher than four.…

Camouflaged Supersymmetry

Iosif Bena, Hagen Triendl, Bert Vercnocke

We establish a relation between certain classes of flux compactifications and certain families of black hole microstate solutions. This connection reveals a rather unexpected resul…

(Anti-)Brane backreaction beyond perturbation theory

Johan Blåbäck, Ulf H. Danielsson, Daniel Junghans +3

We improve on the understanding of the backreaction of anti-D6-branes in a flux background that is mutually BPS with D6-branes. This setup is analogous to the study of the backreac…

Metastable Vacua and the Backreacted Stenzel Geometry

Stefano Massai

We construct an M-theory background dual to the metastable state recently discussed by Klebanov and Pufu, which corresponds to placing a stack of anti-M2 branes at the tip of a war…

New instability of non-extremal black holes: spitting out supertubes

Borun D. Chowdhury, Bert Vercnocke

We search for stable bound states of non-extremal rotating three-charge black holes in five dimensions (Cvetic-Youm black holes) and supertubes. We do this by studying the potentia…

Metastable Supertubes and non-extremal Black Hole Microstates

Iosif Bena, Andrea Puhm, Bert Vercnocke

We study the dynamics of supertubes in smooth bubbling geometries with three charges and three dipole charges that can describe black holes, black rings and their microstates. We f…

Gravitational Turbulent Instability of Anti-de Sitter Space

Oscar J. C. Dias, Gary T. Horowitz, Jorge E. Santos

Bizon and Rostworowski have recently suggested that anti-de Sitter spacetime might be nonlinearly unstable to transfering energy to smaller and smaller scales and eventually formin…

An integrable spin chain for the SL(2,R)/U(1) black hole sigma model

Yacine Ikhlef, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, Hubert Saleur

We introduce a spin chain based on finite-dimensional spin-1/2 SU(2) representations but with a non-hermitian `Hamiltonian' and show, using mostly analytical techniques, that it is…

Kerr/CFT, dipole theories and nonrelativistic CFTs

Sheer El-Showk, Monica Guica

We study solutions of type IIB supergravity which are SL(2,R) x SU(2) x U(1)^2 invariant deformations of AdS_3 x S^3 x K3 and take the form of products of self-dual spacelike warpe…

Hidden symmetry of four-point correlation functions and amplitudes in N=4 SYM

Burkhard Eden, Paul Heslop, Gregory P. Korchemsky +1

We study the four-point correlation function of stress-tensor supermultiplets in N=4 SYM using the method of Lagrangian insertions. We argue that, as a corollary of N=4 superconfor…

Assessing a candidate IIA dual to metastable supersymmetry-breaking

Gregory Giecold, Enrico Goi, Francesco Orsi

We analyze the space of linearized non-supersymmetric deformations around a IIA solution found by Cvetic, Gibbons, Lu and Pope (CGLP) in hep-th/0101096. We impose boundary conditio…

Maximal Unitarity at Two Loops

David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen

We show how to compute the coefficients of the double box basis integrals in a massless four-point amplitude in terms of tree amplitudes. We show how to choose suitable multidimens…

Moulting Black Holes

Iosif Bena, Borun D. Chowdhury, Jan de Boer +2

We find a family of novel supersymmetric phases of the D1-D5 CFT, which in certain ranges of charges have more entropy than all known ensembles. We also find bulk BPS configuration…

Double, Double Supertube Bubble

Iosif Bena, Jan de Boer, Masaki Shigemori +1

We argue that there exists a new class of completely smooth 1/8-BPS, three-charge bound state configurations that depend upon arbitrary functions of two variables. These configurat…

The backreaction of anti-D3 branes on the Klebanov-Strassler geometry

Iosif Bena, Gregory Giecold, Mariana Graña +2

We present the full numerical solution for the 15-dimensional space of linearized deformations of the Klebanov-Strassler background which preserve the SU(2) X SU(2) X Z_2 symmetrie…

On non-universal Goldstino couplings to matter

Using the constrained superfields formalism to describe the interactions of a light goldstino to matter fields in supersymmetric models, we identify generalised, higher-order holom…

A Black Ring with two Angular Momenta in Taub-NUT
