On Solutions to the "Faddeev-Niemi" Equations

Antti J. Niemi, Andrzej Wereszczynski

Recently it has been pointed out that the "Faddeev-Niemi" equations that correspond to the Yang-Mills equations of motion for a decomposed gauge field, can have solutions that obey…

Equivariant Rozansky-Witten classes and TFTs

Johan Kallen, Jian Qiu, Maxim Zabzine

We first construct the Rozansky-Witten model coupled to BF theory and Chern-Simons theory using the Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky (AKSZ) method. Then we apply the machin…

Green's Functions and Non-Singlet Glueballs on Deformed Conifolds

Silviu S. Pufu, Igor R. Klebanov, Thomas Klose +1

We study the Laplacian on Stenzel spaces (generalized deformed conifolds), which are tangent bundles of spheres endowed with Ricci flat metrics. The (2d-2)-dimensional Stenzel spac…

On Moduli Stabilisation and de Sitter Vacua in MSSM Heterotic Orbifolds

Susha L. Parameswaran, Saul Ramos-Sanchez, Ivonne Zavala

We study the problem of moduli stabilisation in explicit heterotic orbifold compactifications, whose spectra contain the MSSM plus some vector-like exotics that can be decoupled. C…

Lifshitz solutions in supergravity and string theory

Ruth Gregory, Susha L. Parameswaran, Gianmassimo Tasinato +1

We derive Lifshitz configurations in string theory for general dynamical exponents z \geq 1. We begin by obtaining simple Li x Omega solutions to supergravities in diverse dimensio…

Smeared versus localised sources in flux compactifications

Johan Blåbäck, Ulf H. Danielsson, Daniel Junghans +3

We investigate whether vacuum solutions in flux compactifications that are obtained with smeared sources (orientifolds or D-branes) still survive when the sources are localised. Th…

Holographic three-point functions of semiclassical states

K. Zarembo

We calculate the holographic three-point functions in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory in the case when two of the operators are semiclassical and one is dual to a supergravity mode.…

A limit on the ABJ model
