Two-Loop Superstrings VII, Cohomology of Chiral Amplitudes
Eric D'Hoker, D. H. Phong
The relation between superholomorphicity and holomorphicity of chiral superstring N-point amplitudes for NS bosons on a genus 2 Riemann surface is shown to be encoded in a hybrid c…
Inflation from Wrapped Branes
Melanie Becker, Louis Leblond, Sarah Shandera
We show that the use of higher dimensional wrapped branes can significantly extend the inflaton field range compared to brane inflation models which use D3-branes. We construct a s…
Deep inelastic scattering off a N=4 SYM plasma at strong coupling
Y. Hatta, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller
By using the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the deep inelastic scattering of an R-current off a N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) plasma at finite temperature and strong couplin…
Deep inelastic scattering at strong coupling from gauge/string duality : the saturation line
Y. Hatta, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller
For gauge theories which admit a dual string description, we analyze deep inelastic scattering at strong 't Hooft coupling and high energy, in the vicinity of the unitarity limit.…
Microcausality in Curved Space-Time
Sergei Dubovsky, Alberto Nicolis, Enrico Trincherini +1
It is well known that in Lorentz invariant quantum field theories in flat space the commutator of space-like separated local operators vanishes (microcausality). We provide two dif…
Rapid Tunneling and Percolation in the Landscape
Sash Sarangi, Gary Shiu, Benjamin Shlaer
Motivated by the possibility of a string landscape, we reexamine tunneling of a scalar field across single/multiple barriers. Recent investigations have suggested modifications to…
Dark Energy and Stabilization of Extra Dimensions
Brian R. Greene, Janna Levin
We discuss the role Casimir energies may play in addressing issues of moduli stabilization and dark energy. In particular, we examine a (non-supersymmetric) brane world scenario wi…
A Wrinkle in Coleman - De Luccia
Adam R. Brown, Saswat Sarangi, Benjamin Shlaer +1
Stringy effects on vacuum transitions are shown to include surprisingly large decay rates through very high potential barriers. This simple, yet counter-intuitive result will drast…
Thermal derivation of the Coleman-De Luccia tunneling prescription
Adam R. Brown, Erick J. Weinberg
We derive the rate for transitions between de Sitter vacua by treating the field theory on the static patch as a thermal system. This reproduces the Coleman-De Luccia formalism for…
Comparing Brane Inflation to WMAP
Rachel Bean, Sarah E. Shandera, S. H. Henry Tye +1
We compare the simplest realistic brane inflationary model to recent cosmological data, including WMAP 3-year cosmic microwave background (CMB) results, Sloan Digital Sky Survey lu…
Families of Quintic Calabi-Yau 3-Folds with Discrete Symmetries
Charles Doran, Brian Greene, Simon Judes
At special loci in their moduli spaces, Calabi-Yau manifolds are endowed with discrete symmetries. Over the years, such spaces have been intensely studied and have found a variety…
