BRST quantization of the pure spinor superstring
Joost Hoogeveen, Kostas Skenderis
We present a derivation of the scattering amplitude prescription for the pure spinor superstring from first principles, both in the minimal and non-minimal formulations, and show t…
Are There Four-Dimensional Small Black Rings?
Norihiro Iizuka, Masaki Shigemori
In d>4 dimensions, one can argue for the existence of small black rings using a scaling argument. We apply the same scaling argument to the d=4 case and demonstrate that it fails t…
Matching of correlators in AdS_3/CFT_2
Marika Taylor
Recently exact agreement has been found between three-point correlators of chiral operators computed in string theory on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 with NS-NS flux and those computed in the…
More Rings to rule them all : Fragmentation, 4D/5D and Split-Spectral Flows
Xerxes D. Arsiwalla
In this note we set-up an explicit 5D construction of AdS-fragmentation, whereby a single black ring splits-up into a multi-black ring configuration. Furthermore it is seen that th…
The abelian cosets of the Heisenberg group
Giuseppe D'Appollonio, Thomas Quella
In this paper we study the abelian cosets of the H(4) WZW model. They coincide or are related to several interesting three-dimensional backgrounds such as the Melvin model, the con…
G2 Hitchin functionals at one loop
Jan de Boer, Paul de Medeiros, Sheer El-Showk +1
We consider the quantization of the effective target space description of topological M-theory in terms of the Hitchin functional whose critical points describe seven-manifolds wit…
