Remarks on brane and antibrane dynamics
Ben Michel, Eric Mintun, Joseph Polchinski +2
We develop the point of view that brane actions should be understood in the context of effective field theory, and that this is the correct way to treat classical as well as loop d…

Higher Spin Holography, RG, and the Light Cone
Eric Mintun, Joseph Polchinski
We revisit the derivation of higher spin bulk theory using the renormalization group in the dual field theory. We argue that existing proposals have problems already at the level o…

The Field Theory of Intersecting D3-branes
Eric Mintun, Joseph Polchinski, Sichun Sun
We examine the defect gauge theory on two perpendicular D3-branes with a 1+1 dimensional intersection, consisting of fields on the D3-branes and charged hypermultiplets on t…
