Hydrodynamics of fundamental matter

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Javier Tarrio

First and second order transport coefficients are calculated for the strongly coupled N=4 SYM plasma coupled to massless fundamental matter in the Veneziano limit. The results, inc…

Sugawara-type constraints in hyperbolic coset models

Thibault Damour, Axel Kleinschmidt, Hermann Nicolai

In the conjectured correspondence between supergravity and geodesic models on infinite-dimensional hyperbolic coset spaces, and E10/K(E10) in particular, the constraints play a cen…

Integrability of Five Dimensional Minimal Supergravity and Charged Rotating Black Holes

Pau Figueras, Ella Jamsin, Jorge V. Rocha +1

We explore the integrability of five-dimensional minimal supergravity in the presence of three commuting Killing vectors. We argue that to see the integrability structure of the th…

A dynamical inconsistency of Horava gravity

Marc Henneaux, Axel Kleinschmidt, Gustavo Lucena Gómez

The dynamical consistency of the non-projectable version of Horava gravity is investigated by focusing on the asymptotically flat case. It is argued that for generic solutions of t…

Some Algebraic Aspects of Half-BPS Bound States in M-Theory

Laurent Houart, Axel Kleinschmidt, Josef Lindman Hörnlund

We revisit non-marginal half-BPS solutions of M-theory in the framework of the possible existence of an underlying E11 Kac-Moody symmetry. In this context, non-marginal BPS solutio…

Generalized BIons in M-theory

Chethan Krishnan

In string theory, stacks of D1-branes can expand into intersecting D3-branes. These configurations are called (generalized) BIons. We show how the analogous constructions in M-theo…

Chiral flavors and M2-branes at toric CY4 singularities

Francesco Benini, Cyril Closset, Stefano Cremonesi

We extend the stringy derivation of N=2 AdS4/CFT3 dualities to cases where the M-theory circle degenerates at complex codimension-two submanifolds of a toric conical CY4. The type…

D3-D7 Quark-Gluon Plasmas

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Javier Mas +3

We present the string dual to finite temperature SU(Nc) N=4 SYM coupled to massless fundamental matter introduced by Nf D7 branes, with Abelian flavor symmetry. The analytic soluti…

Microscopic entropy of the three-dimensional rotating black hole of BHT massive gravity

Gaston Giribet, Julio Oliva, David Tempo +1

Asymptotically AdS rotating black holes for the Bergshoeff-Hohm-Townsend (BHT) massive gravity theory in three dimensions are considered. In the special case when the theory admits…

Why not a di-NUT? or Gravitational duality and rotating solutions

Riccardo Argurio, François Dehouck

We study how gravitational duality acts on rotating solutions, using the Kerr-NUT black hole as an example. After properly reconsidering how to take into account both electric (i.e…

Ghost story. III. Back to ghost number zero

L. Bonora, C. Maccaferri, D. D. Tolla

After having defined a 3-strings midpoint-inserted vertex for the bc system, we analyze the relation between gh=0 states (wedge states) and gh=3 midpoint duals. We find explicit an…

Ghost story. II. The midpoint ghost vertex

L. Bonora, C. Maccaferri, R. J. Scherer Santos +1

We construct the ghost number 9 three strings vertex for OSFT in the natural normal ordering. We find two versions, one with a ghost insertion at z=i and a twist-conjugate one with…

Surplus Solid Angle as an Imprint of Horava-Lifshitz Gravity

Sung-Soo Kim, Taekyung Kim, Yoonbai Kim

We consider the electrostatic field of a point charge coupled to Horava-Lifshitz gravity and find an exact solution describing the space with a surplus (or deficit) solid angle. Al…

Non-relativistic metrics with extremal limits

Emiliano Imeroni, Aninda Sinha

We present solutions of type IIB supergravity with z=2 Schrodinger asymptotics that admit an extremal limit, i.e. the black hole horizon has a double zero. These solutions are obta…

Dynamics of Charged Events

C. Bachas, C. Bunster, M. Henneaux

In three spacetime dimensions the worldvolume of a magnetic source is a single point, an event. We make the event dynamical by regarding it as the imprint of a flux-carrying partic…

Natural semi-direct gauge mediation and D-branes at singularities

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Gabriele Ferretti +1

We consider semi-direct gauge mediation models of supersymmetry breaking where the messengers are composite fields and their supersymmetric mass is naturally generated through quar…

Composite system in deformed space with minimal length

C. Quesne, V. M. Tkachuk

For composite systems made of different particles living in a space characterized by the same deformed Heisenberg algebra, but with different deformation parameters, we define…

Flavors in the microscopic approach to N=1 gauge theories

Frank Ferrari, Vincent Wens

In this note, we solve an extended version of the N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N), an adjoint chiral multiplet and Nf flavors of quarks, by using the N=1 microsco…

Three-algebras, triple systems and 3-graded Lie superalgebras

Jakob Palmkvist

The three-algebras used by Bagger and Lambert in N=6 theories of ABJM type are in one-to-one correspondence with a certain type of Lie superalgebras. We show that the description o…

A Comment on Kerr-CFT and Wald Entropy

Chethan Krishnan, Stanislav Kuperstein

We point out that the entropies of black holes in general diffeomorphism invariant theories, computed using the Kerr-CFT correspondence and the Wald formula (as implemented in the…

Screening effects on meson masses from holography

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Angel Paredes +1

We study the spectra of scalar and vector mesons in four dimensional strongly coupled SQCD-like theories in the Veneziano limit. The gauge theories describe the low energy dynamics…

G2 Dualities in D=5 Supergravity and Black Strings

Geoffrey Compère, Sophie de Buyl, Ella Jamsin +1

Five dimensional minimal supergravity dimensionally reduced on two commuting Killing directions gives rise to a G2 coset model. The symmetry group of the coset model can be used to…

M2-brane Flows and the Chern-Simons Level

Chethan Krishnan, Carlo Maccaferri, Harvendra Singh

The Chern-Simons level k of ABJM gauge theory captures the orbifolding in the dual geometry. This suggests that if we move the membranes away from the tip of the orbifold to a smoo…
