Quantum Corrections to Noncommutative Solitons
Miao Li
Noncommutative solitons are easier to find in a noncommutative field theory. Similarly, the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass of a noncommutative soliton are easier to compu…
Black Holes and Spacetime Physics in String/M Theory
Miao Li
In addition to briefly reviewing recent progress in studying black hole physics in string/M theory, we describe several robust features pertaining to spacetime physics that one can…
Introduction to M Theory
Miao Li
This is an introduction to some recent developments in string theory and M theory. We try to concentrate on the main physical aspects, and often leave more technical details to the…
Large N Strong/Weak Coupling Phase Transition and the Correspondence Principle
Yi-hong Gao, Miao Li
We argue that the large N strong/weak phase transition is a generic phenomenon in a finite temperature supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory of maximal supersymmetry. , D=4…
Comments on Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory on a Noncommutative Torus
Miao Li
D0-brane theory on a torus with a nonvanishing B field is embedded into a string theory in the weak coupling limit. It is shown that the usual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a…
Probing Matrix Black Holes
Miao Li, Emil Martinec
Black holes in matrix theory may consist of interacting clusters (correlated domains) which saturate the uncertainty principle. We show that this assumption qualitatively accounts…
