An Exotic Theory of Massless Spin-Two Fields in Three Dimensions
Nicolas Boulanger, Leonardo Gualtieri
It is a general belief that the only possible way to consistently deform the Pauli-Fierz action, changing also the gauge algebra, is general relativity. Here we show that a differe…
Symmetries and Compactifications of (4,0) Conformal Gravity
C. M. Hull
The free (4,0) superconformal theory in 6 dimensions and its toroidal dimensional reductions are studied. The reduction to four dimensions on a 2-torus has an duality sy…
Conformal Non-Geometric Gravity in Six Dimensions and M-Theory above the Planck Energy
C. M. Hull
The proposal that a strong coupling limit of the five-dimensional type II string theory (M-theory compactified on a 6-torus) in which the Planck length becomes infinite could give…
Randall-Sundrum Brane Tensions
M. Cvetic, M. J. Duff, James T. Liu +3
We show that the singular sources in the energy-momentum tensor for the Randall-Sundrum brane world, viewed as a solution of type IIB supergravity, are composed of two elements. On…
Brane Resolution Through Transgression
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope
Modifications to the singularity structure of D3-branes that result from turning on a flux for the R-R and NS-NS 3-forms (fractional D3-branes) provide important gravity duals of f…
Orbifold boundary states from Cardy's condition
M. Billo', B. Craps, F. Roose
Boundary states for D-branes at orbifold fixed points are constructed in close analogy with Cardy's derivation of consistent boundary states in RCFT. Comments are made on the inter…
