Near-Horizon Supergravity Superspace
Piet Claus
We present a construction of the superspace of maximally supersymmetric adS_{p+2} x S^{d-p-2} near-horizon geometry based entirely on the supergravity constraints of which the boso…
Dilaton transformation under abelian and non-abelian T-duality in the path integral approach
J. De Jaegher, J. Raeymaekers, A. Sevrin +1
We present a convenient method for deriving the transformation of the dilaton under T-duality in the path-integral approach. Subtleties arising in performing the integral over the…
Ramond-Ramond (boundary) states
M. Billo, R. Russo
The description of D-branes as boundary states for type II string theories (in the covariant formulation) requires particular care in the R-R sector. Also the vertices for R-R pote…
Superisometries of the adS*S Superspace
Piet Claus, Renata Kallosh
We find the superisometry of the near-horizon superspace, forming the superconformal algebra. We present here the explicit form of the transformation of the bosonic and fermionic c…
(Non-)Anomalous D-brane and O-plane couplings: the normal bundle
Ben Craps, Frederik Roose
The direct string computation of anomalous D-brane and orientifold plane couplings is extended to include the curvature of the normal bundle. The normalization of these terms is fi…
Symmetries of the Boundary of AdS_5 x S^5 and Harmonic Superspace
Piet Claus, Renata Kallosh, J. Rahmfeld
We study the boundary limit of the bulk isometries of AdS x S. The superconformal symmetry is realized on the coordinates of the AdS boundary, the fermionic superspace coordinates,…
Attractors at weak gravity
Frederik Denef
We study the attractor mechanism in low energy effective D=4, N=2 Yang-Mills theory weakly coupled to gravity, obtained from the effective action of type IIB string theory compacti…
Super M-brane actions in adS_4 x S^7 and adS_7 x S^4
Piet Claus
The world-volume action of the M2 brane and the M5-brane in an adS_4 x S^7 and a adS_7 x S^4 background is derived to all orders in anticommuting superspace coordinates. Contrary t…
Branes and Theta Dependence
Yaron Oz, Andrea Pasquinucci
We use the fivebrane of M theory to study the dependence of four dimensional super Yang-Mills and super QCD softly broken by a gaugino mass. We compute the energy of…
Matrix string states in pure 2d Yang Mills theories
M. Billo', M. Caselle, A. D'Adda +1
We quantize pure 2d Yang-Mills theory on a torus in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal. Because of the topological obstructions to a global smooth diagonalization, we f…
Anomalous D-brane and orientifold couplings from the boundary state
Ben Craps, Frederik Roose
We compute scattering amplitudes involving both R-R and NS-NS fields in the presence of a D-brane or orientifold plane. These provide direct evidence for the anomalous couplings in…
The rigid limit in Special Kähler geometry for SU(2) SYM with a massive quark hypermultiplet
Chris Van Den Broeck
We study the rigid limit of type IIB string theory, compactified on a K3 fibration, which, near its conifold limit, contains the Seiberg-Witten curve for N=2 SU(2) Super-Yang-Mills…
The domain-wall/QFT correspondence
H. J. Boonstra, K. Skenderis, P. K. Townsend
We extend the correspondence between adS-supergravities and superconformal field theories on the adS boundary to a correspondence between gauged supergravities (typically with non-…
The Lorentz force between D0 and D6 branes in string and M(atrix) theory
M. Billo', P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +3
We use different techniques to analyze the system formed by a D0 brane and a D6 brane (with background gauge fields) in relative motion. In particular, using the closed string form…
The Holographic Weyl anomaly
Mans Henningson, Kostas Skenderis
We calculate the Weyl anomaly for conformal field theories that can be described via the adS/CFT correspondence. This entails regularizing the gravitational part of the correspondi…
R-Current Correlators in N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory from Anti-de Sitter Supergravity
G. Chalmers, H. Nastase, K. Schalm +1
We test the conjectured relationship between N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and IIB supergravity compactified on by computing the two- and three-p…
A Note on Softly Broken MQCD
J. L. F. Barbon, A. Pasquinucci
We consider generic MQCD configurations with matter described by semi-infinte D4-branes and softly broken supersymmetry. We show that the matter sector does not introduce supersymm…
Conformal Symmetry of Supergravities in AdS spaces
Renata Kallosh, Antoine Van Proeyen
We show that the background field method applied to supergravity in adS space-time provides the path integral for the theory in the bulk with conformal symmetry associated with the…
Black Holes and Superconformal Mechanics
P. Claus, M. Derix, R. Kallosh +3
The dynamics of a (super)particle near the horizon of an extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is shown to be governed by an action that reduces to a (super)conformal mechanics mod…
The rigid limit in Special Kahler geometry; From K3-fibrations to Special Riemann surfaces: a detailed case study
Marco Billo, Frederik Denef, Pietro Fre +4
The limiting procedure of special Kahler manifolds to their rigid limit is studied for moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau manifolds in the neighbourhood of certain singularities. In two e…
Quantum Noether Method
Tobias Hurth, Kostas Skenderis
We present a general method for constructing consistent quantum field theories with global symmetries. We start from a free non-interacting quantum field theory with given global s…
Microscopic string analysis of the D0-D8 brane system and dual R-R states
M. Billo', P. Di Vecchia, M. Frau +4
Using the boundary state formalism, we perform a microscopic string analysis of the interaction between two D-branes and provide a local interpretation for the R-R force in the D0-…
Special geometry of Calabi-Yau compactifications near a rigid limit
Marco Billo, Frederik Denef, Pietro Fre +4
We discuss, in the framework of special Kahler geometry, some aspects of the "rigid limit" of type IIB string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. We outline the general…
Duality in N=2 nonlinear sigma-models
S. Penati, A. Refolli, A. Van Proeyen +1
We consider N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma-models in two dimensions defined in terms of the nonminimal scalar multiplet. We compute in superspace the one-loop beta function and…
