A note on tachyon actions in string theory

Matthew Headrick

A number of spacetime fields in string theory (notably the metric, dilaton, bosonic and type 0 bulk closed-string tachyon, and bosonic open-string tachyon) have the following prope…

Subleading-color contributions to gluon-gluon scattering in N=4 SYM theory and relations to N=8 supergravity

Stephen G. Naculich, Horatiu Nastase, Howard J. Schnitzer

We study the subleading-color (nonplanar) contributions to the four-gluon scattering amplitudes in N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. Using the formalisms of Catani and of…

Black Holes, Qubits and Octonions

L. Borsten, D. Dahanayake, M. J. Duff +2

We review the recently established relationships between black hole entropy in string theory and the quantum entanglement of qubits and qutrits in quantum information theory. The f…

F-term SUSY Breaking and Moduli

Albion Lawrence

We discuss the coupling of heavy moduli fields to light fields when the dynamics of the latter, absent such couplings, yields metastable vacua. We show that the survival of the vac…

Two-loop graviton scattering relation and IR behavior in N=8 supergravity

Stephen G. Naculich, Horatiu Nastase, Howard J. Schnitzer

We derive an ABDK-like relation between the one- and two-loop four-graviton amplitudes in N=8 supergravity. Specifically we show that the infrared divergent part of the two-loop am…
