Multi-Domain Walls in Massive Supersymmetric Sigma-Models
Jerome P. Gauntlett, David Tong, Paul K. Townsend
Massive maximally-supersymmetric sigma models are shown to exhibit multiple static kink-domain wall solutions that preserve 1/2 of the supersymmetry. The kink moduli space admits a…
Aspects of Collapsing Cycles
Brian R. Greene
Much has been learned about string theory over the last few years by studying properties of cycles and branes in a given background geometry. Here we discuss three situations (quan…
Twisted Sectors and Chern-Simons Terms in M-Theory Orbifolds
M. Faux, D. Lust, B. A. Ovrut
It is shown that the twisted sector spectrum, as well as the associated Chern-Simons interactions, can be determined on M-theory orbifold fixed planes that do not admit gravitation…
Remarks on Inflation and Noncommutative Geometry
Chong-Sun Chu, Brian R. Greene, Gary Shiu
We briefly discuss some possible cosmological implications of noncommutative geometry. While the noncommutativity we consider does not affect gravity, it can play an important role…
Dynamical Topology Change in M Theory
Brian R. Greene, Koenraad Schalm, Gary Shiu
We study topology change in M theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau three-folds in the presence of G flux (the four form field strength). In particular, we discuss vacuum solution…
The periodic and open Toda lattice
I. Krichever, K. L. Vaninsky
We develop algebro-geometrical approach for the open Toda lattice. For a finite Jacobi matrix we introduce a singular reducible Riemann surface and associated Baker-Akhiezer functi…
An M-Theory Perspective on Heterotic K3 Orbifold Compactifications
M. Faux, D. Lust, B. A. Ovrut
We analyze the structure of heterotic M-theory on K3 orbifolds by presenting a comprehensive sequence of M-theoretic models constructed on the basis of local anomaly cancellation.…
D-brane Solitons in Supersymmetric Sigma-Models
Jerome P. Gauntlett, Rubén Portugues, David Tong +1
Massive D=4 N=2 supersymmetric sigma models typically admit domain wall (Q-kink) solutions and string (Q-lump) solutions, both preserving 1/2 supersymmetry. We exhibit a new static…
Black Hole Thermodynamics from Calculations in Strongly-Coupled Gauge Theory
Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz, David A. Lowe
We develop an approximation scheme for the quantum mechanics of N D0-branes at finite temperature in the 't Hooft large-N limit. The entropy of the quantum mechanics calculated usi…
Local Anomaly Cancellation, M-Theory Orbifolds and Phase-Transitions
Michael Faux, Dieter Lust, Burt A. Ovrut
In this paper we consider orbifold compactifications of M-theory on . We discuss solutions of the local anomaly matching conditions by twisted ve…
Supergravity flows and D-brane stability
Frederik Denef
We investigate the correspondence between existence/stability of BPS states in type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold and BPS solutions of four dimensional N=2…
Warped Compactifications in M and F Theory
Brian R. Greene, Koenraad Schalm, Gary Shiu
We study M and F theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau four-folds in the presence of non-trivial background flux. The geometry is warped and belongs to the class of p-brane metric…
Real-normalized Whitham hierarchies and the WDVV equations
Anton Dzhamay
In this paper we present a construction of a new class of explicit solutions to the WDVV (or associativity) equations. Our construction is based on a relationship between the WDVV…
Non-Abelian Born-Infeld versus String Theory
Frederik Denef, Alexander Sevrin, Jan Troost
Motivated by the results of Hashimoto and Taylor, we perform a detailed study of the mass spectrum of the non-abelian Born-Infeld theory, defined by the symmetrized trace prescript…
Collapsing D-branes in one-parameter models and small/large radius duality
C. I. Lazaroiu
We finalize the study of collapsing D-branes in one-parameter models by completing the analysis of the associated hypergeometric hierarchy. This brings further evidence that the ph…
Collapsing D-Branes in Calabi-Yau Moduli Space: I
Brian R. Greene, C. I. Lazaroiu
We study the quantum volume of D-branes wrapped around various cycles in Calabi-Yau manifolds, as the manifold's moduli are varied. In particular, we focus on the behaviour of thes…
Gravitational Properties of Monopole Spacetimes Near the Black Hole Threshold
Arthur Lue, Erick J. Weinberg
Although nonsingular spacetimes and those containing black holes are qualitatively quite different, there are continuous families of configurations that connect the two. In this pa…
