Spiky Strings and Giant Holes
Nick Dorey, Manuel Losi
We analyse semiclassical strings in AdS in the limit of one large spin. In this limit, classical string dynamics is described by a finite number of collective coordinates correspon…
Wall Crossing and Instantons in Compactified Gauge Theory
Heng-Yu Chen, Nick Dorey, Kirill Petunin
We calculate the leading weak-coupling instanton contribution to the moduli-space metric of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) compactified on R^3 x S^1. T…
The Force Between Giant Magnons
Nick Dorey, Rui F. Lima Matos
We compute the force and torque between well-separated, slowly-moving Giant Magnons with arbitrary orientations on S^5. We propose an effective Hamiltonian for Giant Magnons in thi…
Giant Holes
Nick Dorey, Manuel Losi
We study the semiclassical spectrum of excitations around a long spinning string in AdS_3. In addition to the usual small fluctuations, we find the spectrum contains a branch of so…
