Sequestering in String Compactifications

Marcus Berg, David Marsh, Liam McAllister +1

We study the mediation of supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications whose moduli are stabilized by nonperturbative effects. We begin with a critical review of arguments fo…

Phase Transitions of Charged Scalars at Finite Temperature and Chemical Potential

Rachel A. Rosen

We calculate the grand canonical partition function at the one-loop level for scalar quantum electrodynamics at finite temperature and chemical potential. A classical background ch…

Brane Induced Gravity, its Ghost and the Cosmological Constant Problem

S. F. Hassan, Stefan Hofmann, Mikael von Strauss

"Brane Induced Gravity" is regarded as a promising framework for addressing the cosmological constant problem, but it also suffers from a ghost instability for parameter values tha…

On explicit thermodynamic functions and extremal limits of Myers-Perry black holes

Jan E. Aman, Narit Pidokrajt

We study thermodynamic properties of Myers-Perry black holes by deriving explicit fundamental relations from which we can obtain the temperature and specific heat in terms of expli…

On the cancellation of 4-derivative terms in the Volkov-Akulov action

A. A. Zheltukhin

Recently Kuzenko and McCarty observed the cancellation of 4-derivative terms in the Volkov-Akulov supersymmetric action for the fermionic Nambu-Goldstone field. He…
