D-instantons and twistors

Sergei Alexandrov, Boris Pioline, Frank Saueressig +1

Finding the exact, quantum corrected metric on the hypermultiplet moduli space in Type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds is an outstanding open problem. We addre…

Almost BPS black holes

Kevin Goldstein, Stefanos Katmadas

We study non-BPS black hole solutions to ungauged supergravity with 8 supercharges coupled to vector multiplets in four and five dimensions. We identify a large class of five dimen…

The Klebanov-Strassler model with massive dynamical flavors

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Angel Paredes +1

We present a fully backreacted D3-D7 supergravity solution dual to the Klebanov-Strassler cascading gauge theory coupled to a large number of massive dynamical flavors in the Venez…

Temperature versus acceleration: the Unruh effect for holographic models

Angel Paredes, Kasper Peeters, Marija Zamaklar

We analyse the effect of velocity and acceleration on the temperature felt by particles and strings in backgrounds relevant in holographic models. First, we compare accelerated str…

Holography and Thermodynamics of 5D Dilaton-gravity

U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, L. Mazzanti +1

The asymptotically-logarithmically-AdS black-hole solutions of 5D dilaton gravity with a monotonic dilaton potential are analyzed in detail. Such theories are holographically very…

Non chiral dynamical flavors and screening on the conifold

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Angel Paredes +1

We present a new class of string theory solutions which are conjectured to be dual to the N=1 conifold theory by Klebanov and Witten coupled to non chiral massive dynamical flavors…
