Black hole thermodynamics, stringy dualities and double field theory
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Chris D. A. Blair
We discuss black hole thermodynamics in the manifestly duality invariant formalism of double field theory (DFT). We reformulate and prove the first law of black hole thermodynamics…
Anti-de Sitter particles and manifest (super)isometries
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Alec E. Barns-Graham, Paul K. Townsend
Starting from the classical action for a spin-zero particle in a D-dimensional anti-Sitter (AdS) spacetime, we recover the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound by quantization. For D=4,5,7…
Worldline CPT and massless supermultiplets
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Luca Mezincescu, Paul K. Townsend
The action for a massless particle in 4D Minkowski space has a worldline time-reversing symmetry corresponding to CPT invariance of the quantum theory. The analogous symmetry of th…
Pauli-Lubanski, Supertwistors, and the Superspinning Particle
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Luca Mezincescu, Paul K. Townsend
We present a novel construction of the super-Pauli-Lubanski pseudo-vector for 4D supersymmetry and show how it arises naturally from the spin-shell constraints in the supertwistor…
