A note on obstinate tachyons in classical dS solutions

Ulf H. Danielsson, Gary Shiu, Thomas Van Riet +1

The stabilisation of the dilaton and volume in tree-level flux compactifications leads to model independent and thus very powerful existence and stability criteria for dS solutions…

On the distribution of stable de Sitter vacua

Ulf Danielsson, Giuseppe Dibitetto

The possible existence of (meta-) stable de Sitter vacua in string theory is of fundamental importance. So far, there are no fully stable solutions where all effects are under pert…

The SU(3)-invariant sector of new maximal supergravity

A. Borghese, G. Dibitetto, A. Guarino +2

We investigate the SU(3)-invariant sector of the one-parameter family of SO(8) gauged maximal supergravity that has been recently proposed. To this end, we construct the N=2 trunca…

On Energy Functions for String-Like Continuous Curves, Discrete Chains, and Space-Filling One Dimensional Structures

Shuangwei Hu, Ying Jiang, Antti J. Niemi

The theory of string-like continuous curves and discrete chains have numerous important physical applications. Here we develop a general geometrical approach, to systematically der…

B-field in AdS(3)/CFT(2) Correspondence and Integrability

Alessandra Cagnazzo, Konstantin Zarembo

We construct topological Wess-Zumino term for supercoset sigma-models on various AdS(3) backgrounds. For appropriately chosen set of parameters, the sigma-model remains integrable…

N=(4,4) supersymmetry and T-duality

Malin Goteman

A sigma model with four-dimensional target space parametrized by chiral and twisted chiral N=(2,2) superfields can be extended to N=(4,4) supersymmetry off-shell, but this is not t…

Worldsheet Form Factors in AdS/CFT

Thomas Klose, Tristan McLoughlin

We formulate a set of consistency conditions appropriate to worldsheet form factors in the massive, integrable but non-relativistic, light-cone gauge fixed AdS(5) x S**5 string the…

Two-Loop Maximal Unitarity with External Masses

Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen

We extend the maximal unitarity method at two loops to double-box basis integrals with up to three external massive legs. We use consistency equations based on the requirement that…

Holographic three-point functions for short operators

Joseph A. Minahan

We consider holographic three-point functions for operators dual to short string states at strong coupling in N=4 super Yang-Mills. We treat the states as point-like as they come i…

Large N Limit of N=2 SU(N) Gauge Theories from Localization

J. G. Russo, K. Zarembo

We study N=2 Yang-Mills theory on S^4 in the large-N limit. We find that on a large sphere Wilson loops obey a perimeter law and that the free energy grows quadratically with the r…

-behavior from 5D Yang-Mills theory

J. Kallen, J. A. Minahan, A. Nedelin +1

In this note we derive -behavior at large t' Hooft coupling for the free energy of 5D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on . We also consider a quiver of t…

Fractional branes, warped compactifications and backreacted orientifold planes

J. Blåbäck, B. Janssen, T. Van Riet +1

The standard extremal p-brane solutions in supergravity are known to allow for a generalisation which consists of adding a linear dependence on the world-volume coordinates to the…

Ladders for Wilson Loops Beyond Leading Order

D. Bykov, K. Zarembo

We set up a general scheme to resum ladder diagrams for the quark-anti-quark potential in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, and do explicit calculations at the next-to-leading order. Th…

The perturbative partition function of supersymmetric 5D Yang-Mills theory with matter on the five-sphere

Johan Kallen, Jian Qiu, Maxim Zabzine

Based on the construction by Hosomichi, Seong and Terashima we consider N=1 supersymmetric 5D Yang-Mills theory with matter on a five-sphere with radius r. This theory can be thoug…

Three-dimensional (p,q) AdS superspaces and matter couplings

Sergei M. Kuzenko, Ulf Lindstrom, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli

We introduce N-extended (p,q) AdS superspaces in three space-time dimensions, with p+q=N and p>=q, and analyse their geometry. We show that all (p,q) AdS superspaces with X^{IJKL}=…

Complex Geometry and Supersymmetry

Ulf Lindstrom

I stress how the form of sigma models with (2, 2) supersymmetry differs depending on the number of manifest supersymmetries. The differences correspond to different aspects/formula…

Conformal Anomaly for Amplitudes in N=6 Superconformal Chern-Simons Theory

Till Bargheer, Niklas Beisert, Florian Loebbert +1

Scattering amplitudes in three-dimensional N=6 Chern-Simons theory are shown to be non-invariant with respect to the free representation of the osp(6|4) symmetry generators. At tre…

Six-dimensional Supergravity and Projective Superfields
