Non-Kahler Resolved Conifold, Localized Fluxes in M-Theory and Supersymmetry

Keshav Dasgupta, Maxim Emelin, Evan McDonough

The known supergravity solution for wrapped D5-branes on the two-cycle of a Kahler resolved conifold is in general ISD but not supersymmetric, with the supersymmetry being broken b…

Drifting Oscillations in Axion Monodromy

Raphael Flauger, Liam McAllister, Eva Silverstein +1

We study the pattern of oscillations in the primordial power spectrum in axion monodromy inflation, accounting for drifts in the oscillation period that can be important for compar…

Large N matrices from a nonlocal spin system

Dionysios Anninos, Sean A. Hartnoll, Liza Huijse +1

Large N matrices underpin the best understood models of emergent spacetime. We suggest that large N matrices can themselves be emergent from simple quantum mechanical spin models w…

Stringy effects in scrambling

Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford

In [1] we gave a precise holographic calculation of chaos at the scrambling time scale. We studied the influence of a small perturbation, long in the past, on a two-sided correlati…

The Unity of Cosmological Attractors

Mario Galante, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1

Recently, several broad classes of inflationary models have been discovered whose cosmological predictions are stable with respect to significant modifications of the inflaton pote…

On the elliptic genera of manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy

Nathan Benjamin, Sarah M. Harrison, Shamit Kachru +2

Superstring compactification on a manifold of Spin(7) holonomy gives rise to a 2d worldsheet conformal field theory with an extended supersymmetry algebra. The supe…
