Giant Hedge-Hogs: Spikes on Giant Gravitons
Darius Sadri, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari
We consider giant gravitons on the maximally supersymmetric plane-wave background of type IIB string theory. Fixing the light-cone gauge, we work out the low energy effective light…
Heterotic Moduli Stabilization with Fractional Chern-Simons Invariants
Sergei Gukov, Shamit Kachru, Xiao Liu +1
We show that fractional flux from Wilson lines can stabilize the moduli of heterotic string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds. We observe that the Wilson lines used in GUT…
Matter loops corrected modified gravity in Palatini formulation
Xin-He Meng, Peng Wang
Recently, corrections to the standard Einstein-Hilbert action are proposed to explain the current cosmic acceleration in stead of introducing dark energy. In the Palatini formulati…
Light-Front Hadron Dynamics and AdS/CFT Correspondence
S. J. Brodsky, G. F. de Teramond
A remarkable consequence of the AdS/CFT correspondence is the nonperturbative derivation of dimensional counting rules for hard scattering processes. Using string/gauge duality we…
The Plane-Wave/Super Yang-Mills Duality
Darius Sadri, Mohammad M. Sheikh-Jabbari
We present a self-contained review of the Plane-wave/super-Yang-Mills duality, which states that strings on a plane-wave background are dual to a particular large R-charge sector o…
Matrix model, Kutasov duality and Factorization of Seiberg-Witten Curves
Matthias Klein, Sang-Jin Sin
We study the duality of gauge theories in the presence of a massless adjoint field and massive quarks by calculating the superpotential using the Dighkgraaf-Vafa ma…
