Effective potential and warp factor dynamics
Michael R. Douglas
We define an effective potential describing all massless and massive modes in the supergravity limit of string/M theory compactification which is valid off-shell, i.e. without impo…
Sugawara-type constraints in hyperbolic coset models
Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai
In the conjectured correspondence between supergravity and geodesic models on infinite-dimensional hyperbolic coset spaces, and E10/K(E10) in particular, the constraints play a cen…
Moduli spaces of vector bundles over a Klein surface
Florent Schaffhauser
A compact topological surface S, possibly non-orientable and with non-empty boundary, always admits a Klein surface structure (an atlas whose transition maps are dianalytic). Its c…
Effective One Body description of tidal effects in inspiralling compact binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
The late part of the gravitational wave signal of binary neutron star inspirals can in principle yield crucial information on the nuclear equation of state via its dependence on re…
Constructing Spacetime from the String Worldsheet
Mark D. Roberts
In a certain sense riemannian geometry can be thought of as geometry built up from the finslerian properties of point particles. The generalization of this to where the geometry is…
E7(7) invariant Lagrangian of d=4 N=8 supergravity
Christian Hillmann
We present an E7(7) invariant Lagrangian that leads to the equations of motion of d=4 N=8 supergravity without using Lagrange multipliers. The superinvariance of this new action an…
The cohomological restriction map and FP-infinity groups
Ehud Meir
We ask, following Bartholdi, whether it is true that the kernel of the restriction map from the cohomology of a group G to the cohomology of a finite index subgroup H is finitely g…
Gravitational Self Force in a Schwarzschild Background and the Effective One Body Formalism
Thibault Damour
We discuss various ways in which the computation of conservative Gravitational Self Force (GSF) effects on a point mass moving in a Schwarzschild background can inform us about the…
Reeb graph and quasi-states on the two-dimensional torus
Frol Zapolsky
This note deals with quasi-states on the two-dimensional torus. Quasi-states are certain quasi-linear functionals (introduced by Aarnes) on the space of continuous functions. Grubb…
On Tunnelling Through the Black Hole Horizon
V. A. Belinski
It is shown here that there is no way for particle creation to occur by quantum tunneling through an infinitesimal neighborhood of the black hole horizon. This result is a trivial…
Three Etudes in QFT
Dirk Kreimer
We review QFT from the algebraic structure of its perturbative expansion and point out three new results.
Non-renormalization conditions for four-gluon scattering in supersymmetric string and field theory
Nathan Berkovits, Michael B. Green, Jorge G. Russo +1
The constraints imposed by maximal supersymmetry on multi-loop contributions to the scattering of four open superstrings in the U(N) theory are examined by use of the pure spinor f…
Fractional Derivative Cosmology
Mark D. Roberts
The degree by which a function can be differentiated need not be restricted to integer values. Usually most of the field equations of physics are taken to be second order, curiosit…
Cardy and Kerr
Vishnu Jejjala, Suresh Nampuri
The Kerr/CFT correspondence employs the Cardy formula to compute the entropy of the left moving CFT states. This computation, which correctly reproduces the Bekenstein--Hawking ent…
Quantization of Integrable Systems and Four Dimensional Gauge Theories
Nikita A. Nekrasov, Samson L. Shatashvili
We study four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory in the Omega-background with the two dimensional N=2 super-Poincare invariance. We explain how this gauge theory provides…
On dominance and minuscule Weyl group elements
Qëndrim R. Gashi, Travis Schedler
Fix a Dynkin diagram and let p be a coweight. When does there exist an element w of the corresponding Weyl group such that w is p-minuscule and w(p) is dominant? We answer this que…
Minimal Basis for Gauge Theory Amplitudes
N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, Poul H. Damgaard, Pierre Vanhove
Identities based on monodromy for integrations in string theory are used to derive relations between different color ordered tree-level amplitudes in both bosonic and supersymmetri…
Locally compact abelian groups with symplectic self-duality
Amritanshu Prasad, Ilya Shapiro, M. K. Vemuri
Is every locally compact abelian group which admits a symplectic self-duality isomorphic to the product of a locally compact abelian group and its Pontryagin dual? Several sufficie…
The Equivalence Principle and the Constants of Nature
Thibault Damour
We briefly review the various contexts within which one might address the issue of ``why'' the dimensionless constants of Nature have the particular values that they are observed t…
The Effective One Body description of the Two-Body problem
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
The Effective One Body (EOB) formalism is an analytical approach which aims at providing an accurate description of the motion and radiation of coalescing binary black holes with a…
Fermionic Kac-Moody Billiards and Supergravity
Thibault Damour, Christian Hillmann
We study the "fermionic billiards", i.e. the chaotic dynamics of the gravitino, that arise in the near-spacelike-singularity limit of eleven-dimensional supergravity and of its dim…
On the gravitational polarizability of black holes
Thibault Damour, Orchidea Maria Lecian
The gravitational polarizability properties of black holes are compared and contrasted with their electromagnetic polarizability properties. The "shape" or "height" multipolar Love…
Relativistic tidal properties of neutron stars
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
We study the various linear responses of neutron stars to external relativistic tidal fields. We focus on three different tidal responses, associated to three different tidal coeff…
The Big Bang as the Ultimate Traffic Jam
Vishnu Jejjala, Michael Kavic, Djordje Minic +1
We present a novel solution to the nature and formation of the initial state of the Universe. It derives from the physics of a generally covariant extension of Matrix theory. We fo…
