Two-Loop Superstrings on Orbifold Compactifications

Kenichiro Aoki, Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong

The two-loop chiral measure for superstring theories compactified on $\bZ_2$ reflection orbifolds is constructed from first principles for even spin structures. This is achieved by…

A First-Quantized Formalism for Cosmological Particle Production

Alex J. Hamilton, Daniel Kabat, Maulik K. Parikh

We show that the amount of particle production in an arbitrary cosmological background can be determined using only the late-time positive-frequency modes. We don't refer to modes…

General covariance of the non-abelian DBI-action: Checks and Balances

Jan de Boer, Koenraad Schalm, Jeroen Wijnhout

We perform three tests on our proposal to implement diffeomorphism invariance in the non-abelian D0-brane DBI action as a basepoint independence constraint between matrix Riemann n…

Integrable Structure of the Dirichlet Boundary Problem in Multiply-Connected Domains

I. Krichever, A. Marshakov, A. Zabrodin

We study the integrable structure of the Dirichlet boundary problem in two dimensions and extend the approach to the case of planar multiply-connected domains. The solution to the…

Evolution of gravitational waves in Randall-Sundrum cosmology

Richard Easther, David Langlois, Roy Maartens +1

We investigate the evolution of gravitational wave perturbations about a brane cosmology embedded in a five-dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk. During slow-roll inflation in a Randall…

Brane gases in the early universe: thermodynamics and cosmology

Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, Mark G. Jackson +1

We consider the thermodynamic and cosmological properties of brane gases in the early universe. Working in the low energy limit of M-theory we assume the universe is a homogeneous…

Designing Cyclic Universe Models

Justin Khoury, Paul J. Steinhardt, Neil Turok

Recent advances in understanding the propagation of perturbations through the transition from big crunch to big bang (esp. Tolley et al. hep-th/0306109) make it possible for the fi…

The extremal limits of the C-metric: Nariai, Bertotti-Robinson and anti-Nariai C-metrics

Oscar J. C. Dias, Jose' P. S. Lemos

In two previous papers we have analyzed the C-metric in a background with a cosmological constant, namely the de Sitter (dS) C-metric, and the anti-de Sitter (AdS) C-metric, follow…

Stretched horizons, quasiparticles and quasinormal modes

Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1

We propose that stretched horizons can be described in terms of a gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. The quasiparticles are unstable, with a lifetime set by the imaginary part…

BPS orientifold planes from crosscap states in Calabi-Yau compactifications

L. R. Huiszoon, K. Schalm

We use the results of hep-th/0007174 on the simple current classification of open unoriented CFTs to construct half supersymmetry preserving crosscap states for rational Calabi-Yau…

Exact solutions for supersymmetric stationary black hole composites

Brandon Bates, Frederik Denef

Four dimensional N=2 supergravity has regular, stationary, asymptotically flat BPS solutions with intrinsic angular momentum, describing bound states of separate extremal black hol…

Quasiparticle picture of black holes and the entropy--area relation

Norihiro Iizuka, Daniel Kabat, Gilad Lifschytz +1

We propose an effective description of 0-brane black holes, in which the black hole is modeled as a gas of non-interacting quasi-particles in the dual quantum mechanics. This simpl…
