Correlators of supersymmetric Wilson loops at weak and strong coupling

Antonio Bassetto, Luca Griguolo, Fabrizio Pucci +3

We continue our study of the correlators of a recently discovered family of BPS Wilson loops in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. We perform explicit computations at weak…

The Equivalence Postulate of Quantum Mechanics: Main Theorems

Alon E. Faraggi, Marco Matone

We consider the two main theorems in the derivation of the Quantum Hamilton--Jacobi Equation from the Equivalence Postulate (EP) of quantum mechanics. The first one concerns a basi…

Universality of the superpotential for d = 4 extremal black holes

Anna Ceresole, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Sergio Ferrara +1

We provide a general strategy to obtain the superpotential W for both BPS and non-BPS extremal black holes in N=2 four dimensional supergravities based on symmetric spaces. This ex…

String instanton in AdS(4)xCP(3)

Alessandra Cagnazzo, Dmitri Sorokin, Linus Wulff

We study the string instanton wrapping a non-trivial two-cycle in CP(3) of the type IIA string theory compactified on AdS_4 x CP(3) superspace and find that it has twelve fermionic…

First order flows for N=2 extremal black holes and duality invariants

Anna Ceresole, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Sergio Ferrara +1

We derive explicitly the superpotential W for the non-BPS branch of N=2 extremal black holes in terms of duality invariants of special geometry. Although this is done for a one-mod…

5d/4d U-dualities and N=8 black holes

Anna Ceresole, Sergio Ferrara, Alessandra Gnecchi

We use the connection between the U-duality groups in d=5 and d=4 to derive properties of the N=8 black hole potential and its critical points (attractors). This approach allows to…

Type-IIA flux compactifications and N=4 gauged supergravities

Gianguido Dall'Agata, Giovanni Villadoro, Fabio Zwirner

We establish the precise correspondence between Type-IIA flux compactifications preserving an exact or spontaneously broken N=4 supersymmetry in four dimensions, and gaugings of th…

BLG-motivated Lagrangian formulation for the chiral two-form gauge field in D=6 and M5-branes

Paolo Pasti, Igor Samsonov, Dmitri Sorokin +1

We reveal non-manifest gauge and SO(1,5) Lorentz symmetries in the Lagrangian description of a six-dimensional free chiral field derived from the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model in…

On Subextensive Corrections to Fluid Dynamics from Gravity

G. L. Cardoso, G. Dall'Agata, V. Grass

We use the fluid-gravity correspondence to compute subextensive corrections, proportional to the shear tensor, to the energy-momentum tensor of fluids on three-spheres. The dual co…

Cosmological Perturbations in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity

Xian Gao, Yi Wang, R. Brandenberger +1

We study cosmological perturbations in Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity. We consider scalar metric fluctuations about a homogeneous and isotropic space-time. Starting from the most general…

Correlators of supersymmetric Wilson-loops, protected operators and matrix models in N=4 SYM

A. Bassetto, L. Griguolo, F. Pucci +3

We study the correlators of a recently discovered family of BPS Wilson loops in supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. When the contours lie on a two-sphere in the spa…

More on N=8 Attractors

A. Ceresole, S. Ferrara, A. Gnecchi +1

We examine few simple extremal black hole configurations of N=8, d=4 supergravity. We first elucidate the relation between the BPS Reissner-Nordstrom black hole and the non-BPS Kal…

Simplifying superstring and D-brane actions in AdS(4) x CP(3) superbackground

Pietro Antonio Grassi, Dmitri Sorokin, Linus Wulff

By making an appropriate choice for gauge fixing kappa-symmetry we obtain a relatively simple form of the actions for a D=11 superparticle in AdS(4) x S(7)/Z_k, and for a D0-brane,…

Non-BPS Black Rings and Black Holes in Taub-NUT

Iosif Bena, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Stefano Giusto +2

We solve the recently-proposed equations describing non-BPS extremal multi-center configurations, and construct explicit solutions describing non-supersymmetric extremal black ring…
