Is the Graviton a Domain Wall Glueball?
Richard C. Brower
Strong coupling calculations for the glueball spectrum in an black hole are modified by introducing an UV cut-off at a Planck brane. A new normalizable state in the tensor…
From Black Holes to Pomeron: Tensor Glueball and Pomeron Intercept at Strong Coupling
Richard C. Brower, Samir D. Mathur, Chung-I Tan
We briefly review the approach for strong coupling calculation of glueball masses based on the duality between supergravity and Yang-Mills theory. Earlier work is extended to non-z…
Stringy Model for QCD at Finite Density and Generalized Hagedorn Temperature
R. C. Brower, J. McGreevy, C-I Tan
Using generic properties of string theories, we show how interesting non-perturbative features of QCD can be exploited in heavy ion collisions. In particular, a generalized "semi-c…
THE QCD ABACUS: A New Formulation for Lattice Gauge Theories
Richard C. Brower
A quantum Hamiltonian is constructed for SU(3) lattice QCD entirely from color triplet Fermions --- the standard quarks and a new Fermionic ``constituent'' of the gluon we call ``r…
