TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
Localized Tachyons and the Quantum McKay Correspondence
Gregory Moore, Andrei Parnachev
The condensation of closed string tachyons localized at the fixed point of a C^d/Γorbifold can be studied in the framework of renormalization group flow in a gauged linear sigma mo…
K-Theory from a physical perspective
Gregory Moore
This is an expository paper which aims at explaining a physical point of view on the K-theoretic classification of D-branes. We combine ideas of renormalization group flows between…
On Decay of K-theory
Emil J. Martinec, Gregory Moore
Closed string tachyon condensation resolves the singularities of nonsupersymmetric orbifolds, however the resolved space typically has fewer D-brane charges than that of the orbifo…
Open String Star as a Continuous Moyal Product
Michael R. Douglas, Hong Liu, Gregory Moore +1
We establish that the open string star product in the zero momentum sector can be described as a continuous tensor product of mutually commuting two dimensional Moyal star products…
Localized Tachyons and RG Flows
Jeffrey A. Harvey, David Kutasov, Emil J. Martinec +1
We study condensation of closed string tachyons living on defects, such as orbifold fixed planes and Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes. We argue that the high energy density of localized st…
