Loop operators and S-duality from curves on Riemann surfaces

Nadav Drukker, David R. Morrison, Takuya Okuda

We study Wilson-'t Hooft loop operators in a class of N=2 superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. In the case that the gauge group is a product of SU(2) group…

Generalized instantons in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and spinorial geometry

Stephane Detournay, Dietmar Klemm, Carlo Pedroli

Using spinorial geometry techniques, we classify the supersymmetric solutions of euclidean super Yang-Mills theory. These backgrounds represent generalizations of inst…

Holography from Conformal Field Theory

Idse Heemskerk, Joao Penedones, Joseph Polchinski +1

The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length is one of the remarkable aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be…

Decoupling of unphysical states in the minimal pure spinor formalism II

Nathan Berkovits, Joost Hoogeveen, Kostas Skenderis

This is the second of a series of two papers where decoupling of unphysical states in the minimal pure spinor formalism is investigated. The multi-loop amplitude prescription for t…

On the Non-renormalization of the AdS Radius

Luca Mazzucato, Brenno Carlini Vallilo

We show that the relation between the 't Hooft coupling and the radius of AdS is not renormalized at one-loop in the sigma model perturbation theory. We prove this by computing the…

No Dynamics in the Extremal Kerr Throat

Aaron J. Amsel, Gary T. Horowitz, Donald Marolf +1

Motivated by the Kerr/CFT conjecture, we explore solutions of vacuum general relativity whose asymptotic behavior agrees with that of the extremal Kerr throat, sometimes called the…
