Open Spinning Strings

B. Stefanski

We find classical open string solutions in the $AdS_5\times S^5/\Zop_2$ orientifold with angular momenta along the five-sphere. The energy of these solutions has an expansion in in…

Properties of branes in curved spacetimes

Kostas Skenderis, Marika Taylor

A generic property of curved manifolds is the existence of focal points. We show that branes located at focal points of the geometry satisfy special properties. Examples of backgro…

Maximal Supergravity from IIB Flux Compactifications

Bernard de Wit, Henning Samtleben, Mario Trigiante

Using a recently proposed group-theoretical approach, we explore novel gaugings of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with gauge group embeddings that can be generated by flux…

On the spectrum of AdS/CFT beyond supergravity

N. Beisert, M. Bianchi, J. F. Morales +1

We test the spectrum of string theory on AdS_5 x S^5 derived in hep-th/0305052 against that of single-trace gauge invariant operators in free N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Masses of…

(m,n) ZZ branes and the c=1 matrix model

Sergei Alexandrov

We argue that the origin of non-perturbative corrections exp(-2πR nμ) in the c=1 matrix model is (1,n) D-branes of Zamolodchikovs. We confirm this identification comparing the flow…
