Non-supersymmetric Black Holes and Topological Strings
Kirill Saraikin, Cumrun Vafa
We study non-supersymmetric, extremal 4 dimensional black holes which arise upon compactification of type II superstrings on Calabi-Yau threefolds. We propose a generalization of t…
Abelian Varieties, RCFTs, Attractors, and Hitchin Functional in Two Dimensions
Kirill Saraikin
We consider a generating function for the number of conformal blocks in rational conformal field theories with an even central charge c on a genus g Riemann surface. It defines an…
The Entropic Principle and Asymptotic Freedom
Sergei Gukov, Kirill Saraikin, Cumrun Vafa
Motivated by the recent developments about the Hartle-Hawking wave function associated to black holes, we formulate an entropy functional on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau compacti…
A Stringy Wave Function for an S^3 Cosmology
Sergei Gukov, Kirill Saraikin, Cumrun Vafa
Using the recent observations of the relation between Hartle-Hawking wave function and topological string partition function, we propose a wave function for scalar metric fluctuati…
Comments on the Morita Equivalence
Kirill Saraikin
It is known that noncommutative Yang-Mills theory with periodical boundary conditions on torus at the rational value of the noncommutativity parameter is Morita equivalent to the o…
Conformal Blocks and Correlators in WZNW Model. I. Genus Zero
Kirill Saraikin
We consider the free field approach or bosonization technique for the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model with arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra on Riemann surface of genus zero. This subje…
