A Two Fluid Description of the Quantum Hall Soliton
Ben Freivogel, Leonard Susskind, Nicolaos Toumbas
We show that the Quantum Hall Soliton constructed in \cite{giantbob} is stable under small perturbations. We find that creating quasiparticles actually lowers the energy of the sys…
Comments Concerning the CFT Description of Small Objects in AdS
V. Hubeny, L. Susskind, N. Toumbas
In this paper we resolve a contradiction posed in a recent paper by Horowitz and Hubeny. The contradiction concerns the way small objects in AdS space are described in the holograp…
New Tests of Perturbative QCD Inspired by Hypothetical Tau Leptons
J. R. Pelaez, S. J. Brodsky, N. Toumbas
Inspired by the relation between the hadronic decay of the tau lepton and the electron-positron annihilation into hadrons, we derive new tests of perturbative QCD. We design a set…
Do We Know the Geometry of the Universe?
Marc Kamionkowski, Nicolaos Toumbas
It is quite remarkable that seventy years after Hubble discovered the expansion of the Universe, we still have no idea in which of the three Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometries w…
