Holographic decays of large-spin mesons
Kasper Peeters, Jacob Sonnenschein, Marija Zamaklar
We study the decay process of large-spin mesons in the context of the gauge/string duality, using generic properties of confining backgrounds and systems with flavour branes. In th…
Higher-derivative gauge field terms in the M-theory action
Kasper Peeters, Jan Plefka, Steffen Stern
We use superparticle vertex operator correlators in the light-cone gauge to determine the (DF)^2 R^2 and (DF)^4 terms in the M-theory effective action. Our results, when compactifi…
Superfield integrals in high dimensions
Michael B. Green, Kasper Peeters, Christian Stahn
We present an efficient, covariant, graph-based method to integrate superfields over fermionic spaces of high dimensionality. We illustrate this method with the computation of the…
Splitting strings and chains
Kasper Peeters, Jan Plefka, Marija Zamaklar
We review a study of the semiclassical decay of macroscopic spinning strings in AdS_5 x S^5 as well as its dual gauge theory description. The conservation of the infinite tower of…
Loop quantum gravity: an outside view
Hermann Nicolai, Kasper Peeters, Marija Zamaklar
We review aspects of loop quantum gravity in a pedagogical manner, with the aim of enabling a precise but critical assessment of its achievements so far. We emphasise that the off-…
