Commutation relations for surface operators in six-dimensional (2, 0) theory

Mans Henningson

The A_{N - 1} (2, 0) superconformal theory has an observable associated with every two-cycle in six dimensions. We make a natural guess for the commutation relations of these opera…

The Non-Abelian Self Dual String on the Light Cone

Vanicson L. Campos, Gabriele Ferretti, Per Salomonson

We construct the scalar profile for the non-abelian self dual string connecting two M5-branes compactified on a light-like circle. The construction is based on a conjectured modifi…

Holographic Noncommutativity

David S. Berman, Vanicson L. Campos, Martin Cederwall +5

We examine noncommutative Yang-Mills and open string theories using magnetically and electrically deformed supergravity duals. The duals are near horizon regions of Dp-brane bound…

On the holomorphically factorized partition function for abelian gauge theory in six dimensions

Andreas Gustavsson

We use holomorphic factorization to find the partition functions of an abelian two-form chiral gauge-field on a flat six-torus. We prove that exactly one of these partition functio…

Manifestly supersymmetric M-theory

Martin Cederwall, Ulf Gran, Mikkel Nielsen +1

In this paper, the low-energy effective dynamics of M-theory, eleven-dimensional supergravity, is taken off-shell in a manifestly supersymmetric formulation. We show that a previou…

On the quantum BRST structure of classical mechanics

Robert Marnelius

The BRST-antiBRST invariant path integral formulation of classical mechanics of Gozzi et al is generalized to pseudomechanics. It is shown that projections to physical propagators…

A class of six-dimensional conformal field theories

Mans Henningson

We describe a class of six-dimensional conformal field theories that have some properties in common with and possibly are related to a subsector of the tensionless string theories.…

How massless are massless fields in

L. Brink, R. R. Metsaev, M. A. Vasiliev

Massless fields of generic Young symmetry type in space are analyzed. It is demonstrated that in contrast to massless fields in Minkowski space whose physical degrees of fr…

A Study of Holographic Renormalization Group Flows in d=6 and d=3

Vanicson L. Campos, Gabriele Ferretti, Henric Larsson +2

We present an explicit study of the holographic renormalization group (RG) in six dimensions using minimal gauged supergravity. By perturbing the theory with the addition of a rele…

Geometric Construction of AdS Twistors

Martin Cederwall

Time-like geodesics in AdS_4, AdS_5 and AdS_7 are constructed geometrically and independently of choice of AdS coordinates from division algebra spinors of the corresponding AdS gr…
