The Hagedorn/Deconfinement Phase Transition in Weakly Coupled Large N Gauge Theories
Ofer Aharony, Joseph Marsano, Shiraz Minwalla +2
We demonstrate that weakly coupled, large N, d-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories on a class of compact spatial manifolds (including S^{d-1} \times time) undergo deconfinement phase…
Little String Theory and Heterotic/Type II Duality
Ofer Aharony, Bartomeu Fiol, David Kutasov +1
Little String Theory (LST) is a still somewhat mysterious theory that describes the dynamics near a certain class of time-like singularities in string theory. In this paper we disc…
Defect Conformal Field Theory and Locally Localized Gravity
Ofer Aharony, Oliver DeWolfe, Daniel Z. Freedman +1
Gravity may be "locally localized" over a wide range of length scales on a d-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) brane living inside AdS_{d+1}. In this paper we examine this phenomeno…
