M2-M5 Systems in N=6 Chern-Simons Theory
Kentaro Hanaki, Hai Lin
We study two aspects of M5-branes in N=6 U(N)xU(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory. We first examine multiple M2-branes ending on a M5-brane. We study Basu-Harvey type cubic equations, f…
Mesons at large Nc from lattice QCD
Gunnar Bali, Francis Bursa
We calculate the pion and rho meson masses in quenched SU(N) gauge theories for N = 2, 3, 4 and 6. Extrapolating these results to the chiral and large-N limits, we find m_rho = (1.…
Topological order in a 3D toric code at finite temperature
Claudio Castelnovo, Claudio Chamon
We study topological order in a toric code in three spatial dimensions, or a 3+1D Z_2 gauge theory, at finite temperature. We compute exactly the topological entropy of the system,…
Gauge-String Dualities and Some Applications
Marcus K. Benna, Igor R. Klebanov
The first part of these lectures contains an introductory review of the AdS/CFT duality and of its tests. Applications to thermal gauge theory are also discussed briefly. The secon…
SQCD: A Geometric Apercu
James Gray, Amihay Hanany, Yang-Hui He +2
We take new algebraic and geometric perspectives on the old subject of SQCD. We count chiral gauge invariant operators using generating functions, or Hilbert series, derived from t…
Splitting of doubly quantized vortices in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates
K. Gawryluk, T. Karpiuk, M. Brewczyk +1
We investigate the dynamics of doubly charged vortices generated in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates by using the topological phase imprinting technique. We find splitting times of…
