The D2 Susy Zoo
Dongsu Bak, Nobuyoshi Ohta, Paul K. Townsend
We present new supersymmetric solutions of the Dirac-Born-Infeld equations for time-independent D2-branes, including a 1/2 supersymmetric `dyonic' D2-brane and various 1/4 supersym…
Aspects of spinorial geometry
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We review some aspects of the spinorial geometry approach to the classification of supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories. In particular, we explain how spinorial geomet…
Comments on I1-branes
Ling-Yan Hung
We explore the supergravity solution of D5-branes intersecting as an I1-brane. In a suitable near-horizon limit the geometry is in qualitative agreement with that found in the micr…
Measures on transitions for cosmology from eternal inflation
Anthony Aguirre, Steven Gratton, Matthew C Johnson
We argue that in the context of eternal inflation in the landscape, making predictions for cosmological -- and possibly particle physics -- observables requires a measure on the po…
Intersecting D7-Branes, I5-Branes and Conifolds
Ling-Yan Hung
A candidate supergravity solution of intersecting D7-branes with a five-dimensional intersecting domain (an I5-brane) is presented. This displays an enhanced Poincare symmetry and…
Superconformal Vortex Strings
David Tong
We study the low-energy dynamics of semi-classical vortex strings living above Argyres-Douglas superconformal field theories. The worldsheet theory of the string is shown to be a d…
Classification of supersymmetric backgrounds of string theory
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We review the recent progress made towards the classification of supersymmetric solutions in ten and eleven dimensions with emphasis on those of IIB supergravity. In particular, th…
Open G2 Strings
Jan de Boer, Paul de Medeiros, Sheer El-Showk +1
We consider an open string version of the topological twist previously proposed for sigma-models with G2 target spaces. We determine the cohomology of open strings states and relat…
Soft SUSY Breaking Terms for Chiral Matter in IIB String Compactifications
Joseph P. Conlon, Shehu S. Abdussalam, Fernando Quevedo +1
This paper develops the computation of soft supersymmetry breaking terms for chiral D7 matter fields in IIB Calabi-Yau flux compactifications with stabilised moduli. We determine e…
Ultraviolet properties of Maximal Supergravity
Michael B. Green, Jorge G. Russo, Pierre Vanhove
We argue that recent results in string perturbation theory indicate that the four-graviton amplitude of four-dimensional N=8 supergravity might be ultraviolet finite up to eight lo…
The Cosmological Slingshot Scenario: A Stringy Early Times Universe
Cristiano Germani, N. E. Grandi, Alex Kehagias
A cosmological model for the early time Universe is proposed. In this model, the Universe is a wandering brane moving in a warped throat of a Calabi-Yau space. A non-zero angular m…
Hurdles for Recent Measures in Eternal Inflation
Anthony Aguirre, Steven Gratton, Matthew C Johnson
In recent literature on eternal inflation, a number of measures have been introduced which attempt to assign probabilities to different pocket universes by counting the number of e…
N=31, D=11
U. Gran, J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos +1
We show that eleven-dimensional supergravity backgrounds with thirty one supersymmetries, N=31, admit an additional Killing spinor and so they are locally isometric to maximally su…
Non-Supersymmetric Charged Domain Walls
Jan B. Gutowski, Wafic A. Sabra
We present general non-supersymmtric domain wall solutions with non-trivial scalar and gauge fields for gauged five-dimensional N=2 supergravity coupled to abelian vector multiplet…
The Asymptotic Spectrum of the N=4 Super Yang-Mills Spin Chain
Heng-Yu Chen, Nick Dorey, Keisuke Okamura
In this paper we discuss the asymptotic spectrum of the spin chain description of planar N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills. The states appearing in the spectrum belong to irreducible representat…
Hidden symmetry of hyperbolic monopole motion
G. W. Gibbons, C. M. Warnick
Hyperbolic monopole motion is studied for well separated monopoles. It is shown that the motion of a hyperbolic monopole in the presence of one or more fixed monopoles is equivalen…
Einstein-Maxwell gravitational instantons and five dimensional solitonic strings
Maciej Dunajski, Sean A. Hartnoll
We study various aspects of four dimensional Einstein-Maxwell multicentred gravitational instantons. These are half-BPS Riemannian backgrounds of minimal N=2 supergravity, asymptot…
At the horizon of a supersymmetric AdS_5 black hole: Isometries and half-BPS giants
Aninda Sinha, Julian Sonner, Nemani V. Suryanarayana
The near-horizon geometry of an asymptotically AdS_5 supersymmetric black hole discovered by Gutowski and Reall is analysed. After lifting the solution to 10 dimensions, we explici…
Oscillons and quasi-breathers in D+1 dimensions
Paul M. Saffin, Anders Tranberg
We study oscillons in D+1 space-time dimensions using a spherically symmetric ansatz. From Gaussian initial conditions, these evolve by emitting radiation, approaching ``quasi-brea…
Kahler Potentials of Chiral Matter Fields for Calabi-Yau String Compactifications
Joseph P. Conlon, Daniel Cremades, Fernando Quevedo
The Kahler potential is the least understood part of effective N=1 supersymmetric theories derived from string compactifications. Even at tree-level, the Kahler potential for the p…
Super coset space geometry
A. F. Kleppe, Chris Wainwright
Super coset spaces play an important role in the formulation of supersymmetric theories. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the geometry of super coset spaces with part…
Kac-Moody Algebras and Controlled Chaos
Daniel H. Wesley
Compactification can control chaotic Mixmaster behavior in gravitational systems with p-form matter: we consider this in light of the connection between supergravity models and Kac…
Non-renormalisation Conditions in Type II String Theory and Maximal Supergravity
Michael B. Green, Jorge G. Russo, Pierre Vanhove
This paper considers general features of the derivative expansion of Feynman diagram contributions to the four-graviton scattering amplitude in eleven-dimensional supergravity comp…
Fermions on Colliding Branes
Gary Gibbons, Kei-ichi Maeda, Yu-ichi Takamizu
We study the behaviour of five-dimensional fermions localized on branes, which we describe by domain walls, when two parallel branes collide in a five-dimensional Minkowski backgro…
