BPS Amplitudes, Helicity Supertraces and Membranes in M-Theory
Bernard de Wit, Dieter Lust
We study BPS dominated loop amplitudes in M-theory on T^2. For this purpose we generalize the concept of helicity supertraces to nine spacetime dimensions. These traces distinguish…
Gauge and gravitational anomalies in D=4 N=1 orientifolds
Claudio A. Scrucca, Marco Serone
The cancellation of U(1)-gauge and U(1)-gravitational anomalies in certain D=4 N=1 Type IIB orientifolds is analyzed in detail, from a string theory point of view. We verify the pr…
On the Holographic Renormalization Group
J. de Boer, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We propose a direct correspondence between the classical evolution equations of 5-d supergravity and the renormalization group (RG) equations of the dual 4-d large gauge theory…
Cohomological analysis of gauged-fixed gauge theories
Glenn Barnich, Marc Henneaux, Tobias Hurth +1
The relation between the gauge-invariant local BRST cohomology involving the antifields and the gauge-fixed BRST cohomology is clarified. It is shown in particular that the cocycle…
Area law corrections from state counting and supergravity
Gabriel Lopes Cardoso, Bernard de Wit, Thomas Mohaupt
Modifications of the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for black holes are crucial in order to find agreement between the microscopic entropy based on state counting and the macroscopic…
Gravitational Stability and Renormalization-Group Flow
Kostas Skenderis, Paul K. Townsend
First-order `Bogomol'nyi' equations are found for dilaton domain walls of D-dimensional gravity with the general dilaton potential admitting a stable anti-de Sitter vacuum. Implica…
