7D Bosonic Higher Spin Theory: Symmetry Algebra and Linearized Constraints

E. Sezgin, P. Sundell

We construct the minimal bosonic higher spin extension of the 7D AdS algebra SO(6,2), which we call hs(8*). The generators, which have spin s=1,3,5,..., are realized as monomials i…

Massive Dualities in Six Dimensions

K. Behrndt, E. Bergshoeff, D. Roest +1

We study compactifications of string theory and M-theory to six dimensions with background fluxes. The nonzero fluxes lead to additional mass parameters. We derive the S- and T-dua…

D2-brane RR-charge on SU(2)

Peter Rajan

We compute RR charges of D2-branes on a background with H-field which belongs to a nontrivial cohomology class. We discover that the RR charge depends on the configuration of the b…

A black hole hologram in de Sitter space

Ulf H. Danielsson

In this paper we show that the entropy of de Sitter space with a black hole in arbitrary dimension can be understood using a modified Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula. We also commen…

Open Strings in Simple Current Orbifolds

Keizo Matsubara, Volker Schomerus, Mikael Smedback

We study branes and open strings in a large class of orbifolds of a curved background using microscopic techniques of boundary conformal field theory. In particular, we obtain fact…

Brane-Antibrane Systems at Finite Temperature and the Entropy of Black Branes

Ulf H. Danielsson, Alberto Guijosa, Martin Kruczenski

We consider D-brane/anti-D-brane systems at T>0. Starting at the closed string vacuum, we argue that a finite temperature leads to the reappearance of open string degrees of freedo…

Correspondence principle in quantum gravity

Kirill A. Kazakov

The problem of consistent formulation of the correspondence principle in quantum gravity is considered. The usual approach based on the use of the two-particle scattering amplitude…

Field Decomposition and the Ground State Structure of SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

Lisa Freyhult

We compute the effective potential of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory using the background field method and the Faddeev-Niemi decomposition of the gauge fields. In particular, we find that…

Twisted Vortices in a Gauge Field Theory

M. Lübcke, S. M. Nasir, A. Niemi +1

We inspect a particular gauge field theory model that describes the properties of a variety of physical systems, including a charge neutral two-component plasma, a Gross-Pitaevskii…

Open Strings and Non-commutative Geometry of Branes on Group Manifolds

Anton Yu. Alekseev, Andreas Recknagel, Volker Schomerus

In this contribution we review some recent work on the non-commutative geometry of branes on group manifolds. In particular, we show how fuzzy spaces arise in this context from an…

Mode Interactions of the Tachyon Condensate in p-adic String Theory

Joseph A. Minahan

We study the fluctuation modes for lump solutions of the tachyon effective potential in p-adic open string theory. We find a discrete spectrum with equally spaced mass squared leve…

Aspects of Electric and Magnetic Variables in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

Ludvig Faddeev, Antti J. Niemi

We introduce a novel decomposition of the four dimensional SU(2) gauge field. This decomposition realizes explicitely a symmetry between electric and magnetic variables, suggesting…
