Supersymmetry from Boundary Conditions

G. von Gersdorff, L. Pilo, M. Quiros +2

We study breaking and restoration of supersymmetry in five-dimensional theories by determining the mass spectrum of fermions from their equations of motion. Boundary conditions can…

On the b-antighost in the Pure Spinor Quantization of Superstrings

Ichiro Oda, Mario Tonin

Recently Berkovits has constructed a picture raised, compound field which is used to compute higher loop amplitudes in the pure spinor approach of superstrings. On the other…

Zamolodchikov relations and Liouville hierarchy in SL(2,R)_k WZNW model

Gaetano Bertoldi, Stefano Bolognesi, Gaston Giribet +2

We study the connection between Zamolodchikov operator-valued relations in Liouville field theory and in the SL(2,R)_k WZNW model. In particular, the classical relations in SL(2,R)…

No Self-Interaction for Two-Column Massless Fields

Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert

We investigate the problem of introducing consistent self-couplings in free theories for mixed tensor gauge fields whose symmetry properties are characterized by Young diagrams mad…

Superfield Theories in Tensorial Superspaces and the Dynamics of Higher Spin Fields

Igor Bandos, Paolo Pasti, Dmitri Sorokin +1

We present the superfield generalization of free higher spin equations in tensorial superspaces and analyze tensorial supergravities with GL(n) and SL(n) holonomy as a possible fra…

Intersecting D-branes, Chern-kernels and the inflow mechanism

Marco Cariglia, Kurt Lechner

We analyse a system of arbitrarily intersecting D-branes in ten-dimensional supergravity. Chiral anomalies are supported on the intersection branes, called I-branes. For non-transv…

The Liouville Geometry of N=2 Instantons and the Moduli of Punctured Spheres

Gaetano Bertoldi, Stefano Bolognesi, Marco Matone +2

We study the instanton contributions of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory and propose that the instanton moduli space is mapped to the moduli space of punctured spheres. Due to the r…

Introduction to the Classical Theory of Higher Spins

Dmitri Sorokin

We review main features and problems of higher spin field theory and flash some ways along which it has been developed over last decades.

Fermions and Supersymmetry Breaking in the Interval

G. v. Gersdorff, L. Pilo, M. Quiros +2

We study fermions, such as gravitinos and gauginos in supersymmetric theories, propagating in a five-dimensional bulk where the fifth dimensional component is assumed to be an inte…

Intersecting M2- and M5-branes

Kurt Lechner

If an M2-brane intersects an M5-brane the canonical Wess-Zumino action is plagued by a Dirac-anomaly, i.e. a non-integer change of the action under a change of Dirac-brane. We show…

Asymptotics of Quasi-normal Modes for Multi-horizon Black Holes

L. Vanzo, S. Zerbini

The issue concerning rigorous methods recently developed in deriving the asymptotics of quasi-normal modes is revisited and applied to a generic non rotating multi-horizon black ho…

Old Inflation in String Theory

L. Pilo, A. Riotto, A. Zaffaroni

We propose a stringy version of the old inflation scenario which does not require any slow-roll inflaton potential and is based on a specific example of string compatification with…

Conformal Invariance of the Pure Spinor Superstring in a Curved Background

Osvaldo Chandia, Brenno Carlini Vallilo

It is shown that the pure spinor formulation of the heterotic superstring in a generic gravitational and super Yang-Mills background has vanishing one-loop beta functions.
