Higher-order corrections to mass-charge relation of extremal black holes
Yevgeny Kats, Lubos Motl, Megha Padi
We investigate the hypothesis that the higher-derivative corrections always make extremal non-supersymmetric black holes lighter than the classical bound and self-repulsive. This h…
The String Landscape, Black Holes and Gravity as the Weakest Force
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Lubos Motl, Alberto Nicolis +1
We conjecture a general upper bound on the strength of gravity relative to gauge forces in quantum gravity. This implies, in particular, that in a four-dimensional theory with grav…
Cubic Twistorial String Field Theory
Nathan Berkovits, Lubos Motl
Witten has recently proposed a string theory in twistor space whose D-instanton contributions are conjectured to compute N=4 super-Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes. An alternative…
Equivalence of twistor prescriptions for super Yang-Mills
Sergei Gukov, Lubos Motl, Andrew Neitzke
There is evidence that one can compute tree level super Yang-Mills amplitudes using either connected or completely disconnected curves in twistor space. We argue that the two compu…
Matrix string theory, contact terms, and superstring field theory
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Lubos Motl
In this note, we first explain the equivalence between the interaction Hamiltonian of Green-Schwarz light-cone gauge superstring field theory and the twist field formalism known fr…
Heterotic plane wave matrix models and giant gluons
Lubos Motl, Andrew Neitzke, Mohammad M. Sheikh-Jabbari
In this paper we define and study a matrix model describing the M-theory plane wave background with a single Horava-Witten domain wall. In the limit of infinite mu, the matrix mode…
