Asymptotic degeneracy of dyonic N=4 string states and black hole entropy

G. L. Cardoso, B. de Wit, J. Käppeli +1

It is shown that the asymptotic growth of the microscopic degeneracy of BPS dyons in four-dimensional N=4 string theory captures the known corrections to the macroscopic entropy of…

Holographic dynamics of unstable branes in AdS

Marija Zamaklar, Kasper Peeters

The gauge theory dual to the decay of an unstable D-particle in AdS is analysed in terms of coherent states. We discuss in detail how to count the number of particles in the decay…

TFT construction of RCFT correlators IV: Structure constants and correlation functions

Jürgen Fuchs, Ingo Runkel, Christoph Schweigert

We compute the fundamental correlation functions in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory, from which all other correlators can be obtained by sewing: the correlators of…

Chern-Simons Theory, 2d Yang-Mills, and Lie Algebra Wanderers

Sebastian de Haro

We work out the relation between Chern-Simons, 2d Yang-Mills on the cylinder, and Brownian motion. We show that for the unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups, various observabl…

IIB supergravity and E10

Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

We analyse the geodesic E10/K(E10) sigma-model in a level decomposition w.r.t. the A8xA1 subalgebra of E10, adapted to the bosonic sector of type IIB supergravity, whose SL(2,R) sy…

Integrable Hamiltonian for Classical Strings on AdS_5 x S^5

G. Arutyunov, S. Frolov

We find the Hamiltonian for physical excitations of the classical bosonic string propagating in the AdS_5 x S^5 space-time. The Hamiltonian is obtained in a so-called uniform gauge…
