Quantum field theories with boundaries and novel instabilities

T. R. Govindarajan, V. P. Nair

Quantum physics on manifolds with boundary brings novel aspects due to boundary conditions. One important feature is the appearance of localised negative eigenmodes for the Laplaci…

On the Gauge-invariant Functional Measure for Gauge Fields on CP^2

V. P. Nair

We introduce a general parametrization for nonabelian gauge fields on the four-dimensional space . The volume element for the gauge-orbit space or the space of phy…

The Isospin Asymmetry in Anomalous Fluid Dynamics

D. Capasso, V. P. Nair, J. Tekel

The dynamics of fluids in which the constituent particles carry nonabelian charges can be described succinctly in terms of group-valued variables via a generalization of the co-adj…

Effective action and phase transitions of scalar field on the fuzzy sphere

Alexios P. Polychronakos

Scalar field theory on the fuzzy two-sphere, represented as a hermitian matrix model that includes kinetic, mass and quartic interaction terms, is studied. The effective action in…

Diffractive Effects and General Boundary Conditions in Casimir Energy

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

The effect of edges and apertures on the Casimir energy of an arrangement of plates and boundaries can be calculated in terms of an effective nonlocal lower-dimensional field theor…

Black Hole Formation at the Correspondence Point

Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Shubho Roy +1

We study the process of bound state formation in a D-brane collision. We consider two mechanisms for bound state formation. The first, operative at weak coupling in the worldvolume…

Random matrix approach to scalar fields on fuzzy spaces

Juraj Tekel

We formulate theory of interacting scalar field on the fuzzy sphere as a random matrix model. We then analyze the expectation values of observables of the theory in the large N lim…

Scattering Amplitudes of Massive N=2 Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions

Abhishek Agarwal, Arthur E. Lipstein, Donovan Young

We study the scattering amplitudes of mass-deformed Chern-Simons theories and Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with N=2 supersymmetry in three dimensions. In particular, we derive…

Brane compactifications and 4-dimensional geometry in the IKKT model

Alexios P. Polychronakos, Harold Steinacker, Jochen Zahn

We study in detail certain brane solutions with compact extra dimensions M^4 x K in the IKKT matrix model, with K being a two-dimensional rotating torus embedded in R^6. We focus o…
