Closed String Tachyons and Their Implications for Non-Supersymmetric Strings
Michael Dine, Elie Gorbatov, Igor R. Klebanov +1
Closed string tachyons have long been somewhat mysterious. We note that there is often a regime in the classical moduli space in which one can systematically compute the effective…
Correlation functions in a cascading N=1 gauge theory from supergravity
Michael Krasnitz
We study fluctuations around the warped conifold supergravity solution of Klebanov and Tseytlin [hep-th/0002159], known to be dual to a cascading N=1 gauge theory. Although this su…
A two point function in a cascading N=1 gauge theory from supergravity
Michael Krasnitz
We compute the two point correlation function of a dimension 4 operator in a nonconformal cascading N=1 SUSY gauge theory using the supergravity dual found by Klebanov and Strassle…
Scalar Absorption and the Breaking of the World Volume Conformal Invariance
Steven S. Gubser, Akikazu Hashimoto, Igor R. Klebanov +1
We investigate a version of fixed scalars for non-dilatonic branes which correspond to dilatations of the brane world-volume. We obtain a cross-section whose world-volume interpret…
Testing Effective String Models of Black Holes with Fixed Scalars
Michael Krasnitz, Igor R. Klebanov
We solve the problem of mixing between the fixed scalar and metric fluctuations. First, we derive the decoupled fixed scalar equation for the four-dimensional black hole with two d…
Fixed scalar greybody factors in five and four dimensions
Igor R. Klebanov, Michael Krasnitz
We perform the classical gravity calculations of the fixed scalar absorption cross-sections by D=5 black holes with three charges and by D=4 black holes with four charges. We obtai…
