A renormalization group method for studying the early universe in the Lorentzian IIB matrix model

Yuta Ito, Sang-Woo Kim, Yuki Koizuka +2

We propose a new method for studying the early universe in the Lorentzian version of the IIB matrix model, which is considered to be a nonperturbative formulation of superstring th…

Higgs branch localization of 3d N=2 theories

Masashi Fujitsuka, Masazumi Honda, Yutaka Yoshida

We study N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories on squashed 3-sphere and S^1xS^2. Recent studies have shown that the partition functions in a class of N=2 theories have factorized forms…

Warm p-soup and near extremal black holes

Takeshi Morita, Shotaro Shiba, Toby Wiseman +1

We consider a model of D-dimensional supergravity coupled to elementary p-branes. We use gravitational arguments to deduce the low energy effective theory of N nearly parallel bran…

Holographic description of quantum black hole on a computer

Masanori Hanada, Yoshifumi Hyakutake, Goro Ishiki +1

The discovery of the fact that black holes radiate particles and eventually evaporate led Hawking to pose the well-known information loss paradox. This paradox caused a long and se…

Direct derivation of "mirror" ABJ partition function

Masazumi Honda

We study the partition function of the three-dimensional N=6 U(N)_k x U(N+M)_{-k} superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory known as the ABJ theory. We prove that the ABJ partition…

Membranes from monopole operators in ABJM theory: large angular momentum and M-theoretic AdS_4/CFT_3

Stefano Kovacs, Yuki Sato, Hidehiko Shimada

We consider states with large angular momentum to facilitate the study of the M-theory regime of the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence. We study the duality between M-theory in AdS_4xS^7/…

G/G gauged WZW-matter model, Bethe Ansatz for q-boson model and Commutative Frobenius algebra

Satoshi Okuda, Yutaka Yoshida

We investigate the correspondence between two dimensional topological gauge theories and quantum integrable systems discovered by Moore, Nekrasov, Shatashvili. This correspondence…

Direct test of the AdS/CFT correspondence by Monte Carlo studies of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory

Masazumi Honda, Goro Ishiki, Sang-Woo Kim +2

We perform nonperturbative studies of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory by Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, we calculate the correlation functions of chiral primary operators to te…

Quark confinement via magnetic color-flavor locking

Ryuichiro Kitano, Naoto Yokoi

The color-flavor locking phenomenon in the magnetic picture can be the microscopic description of the quark confinement in QCD. We demonstrate it in an N=2 supersymmetric SU(Nc)xSU…

A new look at instantons and large-N limit

Tatsuo Azeyanagi, Masanori Hanada, Masazumi Honda +2

We analyze instantons in the very strongly coupled large- limit ( with fixed) of large- gauge theories, where the effect of the instantons remains finite. B…

The enhanced holographic superconductor: is it possible?

Makoto Natsuume, Takashi Okamura

It is known that time-dependent perturbations can enhance superconductivity and increase the critical temperature. If this phenomenon happens to high-T_c superconductors, one could…

Impacts of non-geometric moduli on effective theory of 5D supergravity

Yutaka Sakamura, Yusuke Yamada

5D supergravity generically has non-geometric moduli other than the radion that belong to 5D vector multiplets. We summarize the impacts of such moduli on 4D effective theory of 5D…

Monte Carlo studies of the spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking in dimensionally reduced super Yang-Mills models

Konstantinos N. Anagnostopoulos, Takehiro Azuma, Jun Nishimura

It has long been speculated that the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of SO(D) occurs in matrix models obtained by dimensionally reducing super Yang-Mills theory in D=6,10 dimen…

ABJM Wilson Loops in Arbitrary Representations

Yasuyuki Hatsuda, Masazumi Honda, Sanefumi Moriyama +1

We study vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of circular half BPS Wilson loops in arbitrary representations in ABJM theory. We find that those in hook representations are reduced to e…

Realizing chiral fermions in the type IIB matrix model at finite N

Jun Nishimura, Asato Tsuchiya

We discuss how chiral fermions can appear in the type IIB matrix model, which is considered to be a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In particular, we are concern…

Linear responses of D0-branes via gauge/gravity correspondence

Yoshinori Matsuo, Yuya Sasai, Yasuhiro Sekino

We study linear responses of D0-branes in the low frequency region by using gauge/gravity correspondence. The dynamics of the D0-branes is described by Matrix theory with finite te…

Soft gravitational effects in Kadanoff-Baym approach

Hiroyuki Kitamoto, Yoshihisa Kitazawa

In de Sitter space, the gravitational fluctuation at the super-horizon scale may make physical quantities time dependent by breaking the de Sitter symmetry. We adopt the Kadanoff-B…

Takahiro Nishinaka, Satoshi Yamaguchi, Yutaka Yoshida

We construct a two-dimensional crystal melting model which reproduces the BPS index of D2-D0 states bound to a non-compact D4-brane on an arbitrary toric Calabi-Yau singularity. Th…
