Non-linear sigma models with anti-de Sitter target spaces
Joshua J. Friess, Steven S. Gubser
We present evidence that there is a non-trivial fixed point for the AdS_{D+1} non-linear sigma model in two dimensions, without any matter fields or additional couplings beyond the…

Phase transitions near black hole horizons
Steven S. Gubser
The Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in four dimensions can be made unstable without violating the dominant energy condition by introducing a real massive scalar with non-renormalizab…

Instabilities of D-brane Bound States and Their Related Theories
Joshua J. Friess, Steven S. Gubser
We investigate the Gregory-Laflamme instability for bound states of branes in type II string theory and in M-theory. We examine systems with two different constituent branes: for i…
