Spherical Symmetric Solutions in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity and their Properties

Dario Capasso

Non-projectable Hořava gravity for a spherically symmetric configuration with exhibits an infinite set of solutions parametrized by a generic function for the radi…

High spin limits and non-abelian T-duality

Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstadinos Sfetsos

The action of the non-abelian T-dual of the WZW model is related to an appropriate gauged WZW action via a limiting procedure. We extend this type of equivalence to general sigma-m…

Solving field equations in non-isometric coset CFT backgrounds

Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstadinos Sfetsos

The largest known class of gravitational backgrounds with an exact string theoretical description is based on coset G/H CFTs and the corresponding gauged WZW models. These backgrou…

A Note on Schwinger Mechanism and a Nonabelian Instability in a Nonabelian Plasma

V. P. Nair, Alexandr Yelnikov

We point out that there is a nonabelian instability for a nonabelian plasma which does not allow both for a net nonzero color charge and the existence of field configurations which…

On the Casimir interaction between holes

Daniel Kabat, Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

We study the leading long-distance attractive force between two holes in a plate arising from a scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the plate. We use a formalism in…

Punctuated eternal inflation via AdS/CFT

David A. Lowe, Shubho Roy

The work is an attempt to model a scenario of inflation in the framework of Anti de Sit- ter/Conformal Field theory (AdS/CFT) duality, a potentially complete nonperturbative descri…

Edges and Diffractive Effects in Casimir Energies

Daniel Kabat, Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

The prototypical Casimir effect arises when a scalar field is confined between parallel Dirichlet boundaries. We study corrections to this when the boundaries themselves have apert…
