More on integrable structures of superstrings in AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S(2) x T(6) superbackgrounds

Alessandra Cagnazzo, Dmitri Sorokin, Linus Wulff

In this paper we continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1009.3498 and arXiv:1104.1793, of the classical integrability of Green-Schwarz superstrings in AdS(4) x CP(3) and AdS(2) x S…

Superconformal N=3 SYM Low-Energy Effective Action

I. L. Buchbinder, E. A. Ivanov, I. B. Samsonov +1

We construct a manifestly N=3 supersymmetric low-energy effective action of N=3 super Yang-Mills theory. The effective action is written in the N=3 harmonic superspace and respects…

Supersymmetric Solutions in Six Dimensions: A Linear Structure

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Masaki Shigemori +1

The equations underlying all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional minimal ungauged supergravity coupled to an anti-self-dual tensor multiplet have been known for quite a whi…

On Fayet-Iliopoulos terms and de Sitter vacua in supergravity: some easy pieces

Francesca Catino, Giovanni Villadoro, Fabio Zwirner

We clarify a number of issues on Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms in supergravity, keeping the formalism at a minumum and making use of explicit examples. We explain why, if the U(1) ve…

New D1-D5-P geometries from string amplitudes

Stefano Giusto, Rodolfo Russo, David Turton

We derive the long range supergravity fields sourced by a D1-D5-P bound state from disk amplitudes for massless closed string emission. We suggest that since the parameter controll…

Bi-harmonic superspace for N=4 d=4 super Yang-Mills

Dmitry V. Belyaev, Igor B. Samsonov

We develop N=4 d=4 bi-harmonic superspace and use it to derive a novel form for the low-energy effective action in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We solve the N=4 supergauge constrai…

Lifshitz black holes in string theory

Irene Amado, Anton F. Faedo

We provide the first black hole solutions with Lifshitz asymptotics found in string theory. These are expected to be dual to models enjoying anisotropic scale invariance with dynam…

Superstrings in AdS(2)xS(2)xT(6)

D. Sorokin, A. Tseytlin, L. Wulff +1

We consider the type IIB Green-Schwarz superstring theory on AdS(2)xS(2)xT(6) supported by homogeneous Ramond-Ramond 5-form flux and its type IIA T-duals. One motivation is to unde…

Free Differential Algebras and Pure Spinor Action in IIB Superstring Sigma Models

Ichiro Oda, Mario Tonin

In this paper we extend to the case of IIB superstring sigma models the method proposed in hep-th/10023500 to derive the pure spinor approach for type IIA sigma models. In particul…

Wess-Zumino term in the N=4 SYM effective action revisited

Dmitry V. Belyaev, Igor B. Samsonov

The low-energy effective action for the N=4 super Yang-Mills on the Coulomb branch is known to include an SO(6)-invariant Wess-Zumino (WZ) term for the six scalar fields. For each…

A Black Ring with two Angular Momenta in Taub-NUT

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Clement Ruef

We use the recently-constructed explicit duality transformation that relates a rotating anti-D6-D4-D2-D0 black hole solution to a rotating M5-M2-P black string to construct a non-s…

Constructing Lifshitz solutions from AdS

Davide Cassani, Anton F. Faedo

Under general assumptions, we show that a gravitational theory in d+1 dimensions admitting an AdS solution can be reduced to a d-dimensional theory containing a Lifshitz solution w…

Consistent truncations with massive modes and holography

Davide Cassani, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Anton F. Faedo

We review the basic features of some recently found consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations including massive modes. We emphasize the general ideas underlying the reduction procedure,…

Peculiarities of String Theory on AdS(4) x CP(3)

Dmitri Sorokin, Linus Wulff

We review peculiar features of type IIA string theory compactified on AdS(4) x CP(3) superspace, in particular, the structure of the Green-Schwarz action, issues with fixing its ka…
