Zero-mode dynamics in supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory

Mans Henningson

We consider minimally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Chern-Simons term on a flat spatial two-torus in the limit when the torus becomes small. The zero-modes of the fields…

Counterterms in Gravity in the Light-Front Formulation and a D=2 Conformal-like Symmetry in Gravity

Anders K. H. Bengtsson, Lars Brink, Sung-Soo Kim

In this paper we discuss gravity in the light-front formulation (light-cone gauge) and show how possible counterterms arise. We find that Poincare invariance is not enough to find…

Ground states of supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory

Mans Henningson

We consider minimally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Chern-Simons term on a flat spatial two-torus. The Witten index may be computed in the weak coupling limit, where the…

The gauge structure of generalised diffeomorphisms

David S. Berman, Martin Cederwall, Axel Kleinschmidt +1

We investigate the generalised diffeomorphisms in M-theory, which are gauge transformations unifying diffeomorphisms and tensor gauge transformations. After giving an En(n)-covaria…

Generalized cusp in AdS_4 x CP^3 and more one-loop results from semiclassical strings

V. Forini, V. Giangreco M. Puletti, O. Ohlsson Sax

We evaluate the exact one-loop partition function for fundamental strings whose world-surface ends on a cusp at the boundary of AdS_4 and has a "jump" in CP^3. This allows us to ex…

Topologically gauged superconformal Chern-Simons matter theories

Ulf Gran, Jesper Greitz, Paul Howe +1

By coupling {\cal N}=8 superconformal matter to {\cal N}=8 superconformal Chern-Simons gravity in three dimensions we obtain theories with novel terms in the scalar potential leadi…

Borcherds and Kac-Moody extensions of simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras

Jakob Palmkvist

We study the Borcherds superalgebra obtained by adding an odd (fermionic) null root to the set of simple roots of a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra. We compare it to the Kac-…
