Dynamical AdS strings across horizons

Takaaki Ishii, Keiju Murata

We examine the nonlinear classical dynamics of a fundamental string in anti-de Sitter spacetime. The string is dual to the flux tube between an external quark-antiquark pair in $\m…

Quiver W-algebras

Taro Kimura, Vasily Pestun

For a quiver with weighted arrows we define gauge-theory K-theoretic W-algebra generalizing the definition of Shiraishi et al., and Frenkel and Reshetikhin. In particular, we show…

A supersymmetric Skyrme model

Sven Bjarke Gudnason, Muneto Nitta, Shin Sasaki

Construction of a supersymmetric extension of the Skyrme term was a long-standing problem because of the auxiliary field problem; that is, the auxiliary field may propagate and can…

Semilocal Fractional Instantons

Minoru Eto, Muneto Nitta

We find semi-local fractional instantons of codimension four in Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories coupled with scalar fields and the corresponding and Gra…

Axion electrodynamics and nonrelativistic photons in nuclear and quark matter

Naoki Yamamoto

We argue that the effective theory for electromagnetic fields in spatially varying meson condensations in dense nuclear and quark matter is given by the axion electrodynamics. We s…

Semi-doubled Sigma Models for Five-branes

Tetsuji Kimura

We study two-dimensional gauge theory and its dualized system in terms of complex (linear) superfields and their alternatives. Although this technique itself is no…
