The dS/CFT Correspondence and the Big Smash
Brett McInnes
Recent observations suggest that the cosmological equation-of-state parameter w is close to -1. To say this is to imply that w could be slightly less than -1, which leads to R.Cald…
Exploring the Similarities of the dS/CFT and Ads/CFT Correspondences
Brett McInnes
The dS/CFT correspondence differs from its AdS/CFT counterpart in some ways, yet is strikingly similar to it in many others. For example, both involve CFTs defined on connected spa…
A Positive Cosmological Constant in String Theory Through Ads/CFT Wormholes
Brett McInnes
There are two important examples of physical systems which violate the strong energy condition : Universes (like, it would seem, our own) with a positive cosmological constant, and…
Topologically Induced Instability in String Theory
Brett McInnes
Using the generalised AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that there are certain ten-dimensional differentiable manifolds such that string theory on such a manifold is unstable [to the…
