Inside an Enhancon: Monopoles and Dual Yang-Mills Theory
Martijn Wijnholt, Slava Zhukov
In this paper we study wrapped brane configurations that give rise to three dimensional pure Yang-Mills theory with eight supercharges. The corresponding supergravity solution is s…
On the Uniqueness of Black Hole Attractors
Martijn Wijnholt, Slava Zhukov
We examine the attractor mechanism for extremal black holes in the context of five dimensional N = 2 supergravity and show that attractor points are unique in the extended vector m…
Superstring Theory on AdS_2 x S^2 as a Coset Supermanifold
N. Berkovits, M. Bershadsky, T. Hauer +2
We quantize the superstring on the AdS_2 x S^2 background with Ramond-Ramond flux using a PSU(1,1|2)/U(1) x U(1) sigma model with a WZ term. One-loop conformal invariance of the mo…
Sigma Model as a Conformal Field Theory
Michael Bershadsky, Slava Zhukov, Arkady Vaintrob
We discuss the sigma model on the supergroup manifold. We demonstrate that this theory is exactly conformal. The chiral algebra of this model is given by some extension…
