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…
Smearing and Unsmearing KKLT AdS Vacua
Mariana Graña, Nicolas Kovensky, Dimitrios Toulikas
Gaugino condensation on D-branes wrapping internal cycles gives a mechanism to stabilize the associated moduli. According to the effective field theory, this gives rise, when combi…
Spectral flow and string correlators in AdS
Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky, Julian H. Toro
We consider three-point correlation functions for superstrings propagating in AdS. In the RNS formalism, these generically involve correlators with current…
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…
On spectrally flowed local vertex operators in AdS
Sergio Iguri, Nicolas Kovensky
We provide a novel local definition for spectrally flowed vertex operators in the SL(2,)-WZW model, generalising the proposal of Maldacena and Ooguri in [arXiv:hep-th/0…
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…
