Two-Loop Superstrings IV, The Cosmological Constant and Modular Forms
Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong
The slice-independent gauge-fixed superstring chiral measure in genus 2 derived in the earlier papers of this series for each spin structure is evaluated explicitly in terms of the…
Two-Loop Superstrings III, Slice Independence and Absence of Ambiguities
Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong
The chiral superstring measure constructed in the earlier papers of this series for general gravitino slices is examined in detail for slices supported at two points x_α. In this c…
Two-Loop Superstrings II, The Chiral Measure on Moduli Space
Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong
A detailed derivation from first principles is given for the unambiguous and slice-independent formula for the two-loop superstring chiral measure which was announced in the first…
Spin Chains with Twisted Monodromy
I. M. Krichever, D. H. Phong
The integrable model corresponding to the supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory with matter in the symmetric representation is constructed. It is a spin chain model, whose…
Two-Loop Superstrings I, Main Formulas
Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong
An unambiguous and slice-independent formula for the two-loop superstring measure on moduli space for even spin structure is constructed from first principles. The construction use…
Imprints of Short Distance Physics On Inflationary Cosmology
Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, William H. Kinney +1
We analyze the impact of certain modifications to short distance physics on the inflationary perturbation spectrum. For the specific case of power-law inflation, we find distinctiv…
Vector bundles and Lax equations on algebraic curves
Igor Krichever
The Hamiltonian theory of zero-curvature equations with spectral parameter on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface is constructed. It is shown that the equations can be seen as com…
Massless monopoles and the moduli space approximation
Xingang Chen, Huidong Guo, Erick J. Weinberg
We investigate the applicability of the moduli space approximation in theories with unbroken non-Abelian gauge symmetries. Such theories have massless magnetic monopoles that are m…
Probing black holes in non-perturbative gauge theory
Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1
We use a 0-brane to probe a ten-dimensional near-extremal black hole with N units of 0-brane charge. We work directly in the dual strongly-coupled quantum mechanics, using mean-fie…
A thermal instability for positive brane cosmological constant in the Randall-Sundrum cosmologies
Stephon Alexander, Yi Ling, Lee Smolin
We describe a novel dynamical mechanism to radiate away a positive four dimensional cosmological constant, in the Randall-Sundrum cosmological scenario. We show that there are mode…
Scattering of massless and massive monopoles in an SU(N) theory
Xingang Chen, Erick J. Weinberg
We use the moduli space approximation to study the time evolution of magnetically charged configurations in a theory with an SU(N+2) gauge symmetry spontaneously broken to U(1) x S…
Inflation as a Probe of Short Distance Physics
Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, William H. Kinney +1
We show that a string-inspired Planck scale modification of general relativity can have observable cosmological effects. Specifically, we present a complete analysis of the inflati…
Mirror Symmetry in 2+1 and 1+1 Dimensions
Mina Aganagic, Kentaro Hori, Andreas Karch +1
We study the Coulomb-Higgs duality of N=2 supersymmetric Abelian Chern-Simons theories in 2+1 dimensions, by compactifying dual pairs on a circle of radius R and comparing the resu…
Black hole entropy from non-perturbative gauge theory
Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz, David A. Lowe
We present the details of a mean-field approximation scheme for the quantum mechanics of N D0-branes at finite temperature. The approximation can be applied at strong 't Hooft coup…
Shear viscosity of strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
G. Policastro, D. T. Son, A. O. Starinets
Using the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, we relate the shear viscosity ηof the finite-temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large N, strong…
The Stability of Noncommutative Scalar Solitons
Mark G. Jackson
We determine the stability conditions for a radially symmetric noncommutative scalar soliton at finite noncommutivity parameter . We find an intriguing relationship between the…
Quantum Mechanics on the Noncommutative Torus
Bogdan Morariu, Alexios P. Polychronakos
We analyze the algebra of observables of a charged particle on a noncommutative torus in a constant magnetic field. We present a set of generators of this algebra which coincide wi…
Higgs Bundles and Four Manifolds
Jae-Suk Park
It is known that the Seiberg-Witten invariants, derived from supersymmetric Yang-Mill theories in four-dimensions, do not distinguish smooth structure of certain non-simply-connect…
Split attractor flows and the spectrum of BPS D-branes on the Quintic
Frederik Denef, Brian Greene, Mark Raugas
We investigate the spectrum of type IIA BPS D-branes on the quintic from a four dimensional supergravity perspective and the associated split attractor flow picture. We obtain some…
