A proof for string three-point functions in AdS

Davide Bufalini, Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky

Correlation functions of the -WZW model involving spectrally flowed vertex operators are notoriously difficult to compute. An explicit integral expression…

Worldsheet computation of heavy-light correlators

Davide Bufalini, Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky +1

We compute a large collection of string worldsheet correlators describing light probes interacting with heavy black hole microstates. The heavy states consist of NS5 branes carryin…

Worldsheet Correlators in Black Hole Microstates

Davide Bufalini, Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky +1

Light probes interacting with heavy bound states such as black holes give rise to interesting observables containing valuable dynamical information. Recently, a family of black hol…

Black hole microstates from the worldsheet

Davide Bufalini, Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky +1

Recently an exact worldsheet description of strings propagating in certain black hole microstate geometries was constructed in terms of null-gauged WZW models. In this paper we con…

Mass Deformations of Unoriented Quiver Theories

Massimo Bianchi, Davide Bufalini, Salvo Mancani +1

We study the interplay between mass deformations and unoriented projections of super-conformal quiver gauge theories resulting from D3-branes at (toric) Calabi-Yau singularities. W…
