All the D-Branes of Resurgence

Ricardo Schiappa, Maximilian Schwick, Noam Tamarin

It was recently shown how to account for all instantons of hermitian matrix models via (anti-) eigenvalue-tunneling -- including both exponentially-suppressed and exponentially-enh…

Mesonic quasinormal modes of the Sakai-Sugimoto model at high temperature

Nick Evans, Ed Threlfall

We examine the mesonic thermal spectrum of the Sakai-Sugimoto model of holographic QCD by finding the quasinormal frequencies of the supergravity dual. If flavour is added using D8…

Spinning superstrings at two loops: strong-coupling corrections to dimensions of large-twist SYM operators

R. Roiban, A. A. Tseytlin

We consider folded spinning strings in AdS_5xS^5 (with one spin component S in AdS_5 and J in S^5) corresponding to the Tr(D^S Z^J) operators in the sl(2) sector of the N=4 SYM the…

On the ODE/IM correspondence for minimal models

Patrick Dorey, Clare Dunning, Ferdinando Gliozzi +1

Within the framework of the ODE/IM correspondence, we show that the minimal conformal field theories with c<1 emerge naturally from the monodromy properties of certain families of…

Numerical tests of AdS/CFT at strong coupling

David Berenstein, Randel Cotta, Rodrigo Leonardi

We study various correlation functions (two and three point functions) in a large matrix model of six commuting matrices with a numerical Monte Carlo algorithm. This is equival…

Algebra of transfer-matrices and Yang-Baxter equations on the string worldsheet in AdS(5) x S(5)

Andrei Mikhailov, Sakura Schafer-Nameki

Integrability of the string worldsheet theory in AdS(5) x S(5) is related to the existence of a flat connection depending on the spectral parameter. The transfer matrix is the open…
