The phase diagram of the D1-D5 CFT and localized black holes

Ofer Aharony, Ronny Frumkin, Jonathan Mehl

In this paper we analyze the phases that dominate the microcanonical ensemble at various energies in the D1-D5 CFT, which is dual to type II string theory on $AdS_3 \times S^3\time…

A String Theory for Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory II

Ofer Aharony, Suman Kundu, Tal Sheaffer

In earlier work we proposed a string theory dual to two dimensional Yang-Mills theory at zero coupling (which can also be thought of as a theory), given by a Polyakov-like gen…

Large N Chern-Simons-matter fixed points with multiple flavors

Ofer Aharony, Ronny Frumkin, Jonathan Mehl

In this paper we analyze the d conformal fixed points arising from Chern-Simons-matter theories with multiple flavors in the 't Hooft large limit. Th…

Effective Strings in QED

Ofer Aharony, Netanel Barel, Tal Sheaffer

Effective string theory describes the physics of long confining strings in theories, like Yang-Mills theory, where the mass gap is of the same order as the string tensi…

On type II string theory on and symmetric orbifolds

Ofer Aharony, Erez Y. Urbach

We discuss in detail the -dimensional superconformal field theory dual to type II string theory on , emphasizing the string theoretic aspects of thi…

A chiral limit for Chern-Simons-matter theories

Ofer Aharony, Rohit R. Kalloor, Trivko Kukolj

Large N quasi-fermionic Chern-Simons-matter theories have an approximate higher-spin symmetry that strongly constrains their correlation functions. In particular, the 3-point funct…
