Flow of Geometries and Instantons on the Null Orbifold
Micha Berkooz, Zohar Komargodski, Dori Reichmann +1
We study condensation of twisted sector states in the null orbifold geometry. As the singularity is time-dependent, we probe it using D-Instantons. We present evidence that the nul…
Open String Moduli in KKLT Compactifications
Ofer Aharony, Yaron E. Antebi, Micha Berkooz
In the Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi (KKLT) de-Sitter construction one introduces an anti-D3-brane that breaks the supersymmetry and leads to a positive cosmological constant. In th…
Non-Local Effects of Multi-Trace Deformations in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Ofer Aharony, Micha Berkooz, Boaz Katz
The AdS/CFT correspondence relates deformations of the CFT by "multi-trace operators" to "non-local string theories". The deformed theories seem to have non-local interactions in t…
