Field redefinitions and Kähler potential in string theory at 1-loop
Michael Haack, Jin U Kang
Field redefinitions at string 1-loop order are often required by supersymmetry, for instance in order to make the Kähler structure of the scalar kinetic terms manifest. We derive t…
Black hole thermodynamics from a variational principle: Asymptotically conical backgrounds
Ok Song An, Mirjam Cvetič, Ioannis Papadimitriou
The variational problem of gravity theories is directly related to black hole thermodynamics. For asymptotically locally AdS backgrounds it is known that holographic renormalizatio…
One-loop Einstein-Hilbert term in minimally supersymmetric type IIB orientifolds
Michael Haack, Jin U Kang
We evaluate string one-loop contributions to the Einstein-Hilbert term in toroidal minimally supersymmetric type IIB orientifolds with D-branes. These have potential applications t…
One-Loop Kahler Metric of D-Branes at Angles
Marcus Berg, Michael Haack, Jin U Kang
We evaluate string one-loop contributions to the Kahler metric of D-brane moduli (positions and Wilson lines), in toroidal orientifolds with branes at angles. Contributions due to…
Bouncing universe and non-BPS branes
Philipp Höffer v. Loewenfeld, Jin U Kang, Nicolas Moeller +1
We describe string frame bouncing universe scenarios involving the creation and annihilation of a non-BPS D9-brane in type IIA superstring theory. We find several classes of soluti…
The New Ekpyrotic Ghost
Renata Kallosh, Jin U Kang, Andrei Linde +1
The new ekpyrotic scenario attempts to solve the singularity problem by involving violation of the null energy condition in a model which combines the ekpyrotic/cyclic scenario wit…
