The N=8 Supergravity Hamiltonian as a Quadratic Form
Sudarshan Ananth, Lars Brink, Rainer Heise +1
We conjecture that the light-cone Hamiltonian of N=8 Supergravity can be expressed as a quadratic form. We explain why this rewriting is unique to maximally supersymmetric theories…
Global properties of an exact string theory solution in two and four dimensions
Harald G. Svendsen
This paper discusses global properties of exact (in alpha prime) string theory solutions: A deformed black hole solution in two dimensions and a Taub-NUT type solution in four dime…
The Exact Geometry of a Kerr-Taub-NUT Solution of String Theory
Harald G. Svendsen
In this paper we study a solution of heterotic string theory corresponding to a rotating Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime. It has an exact CFT description as a heterotic coset model, and a…
An Exact String Theory Model of Closed Time-Like Curves and Cosmological Singularities
Clifford V. Johnson, Harald G. Svendsen
We study an exact model of string theory propagating in a space-time containing regions with closed time-like curves (CTCs) separated from a finite cosmological region bounded by a…
A Note on D-brane - Anti-D-brane Interactions in Plane Wave Backgrounds
Clifford V. Johnson, Harald G. Svendsen
We study aspects of the interaction between a D-brane and an anti-D-brane in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave background of type IIB superstring theory, which is equipped wi…
High energy limits of various actions
Harald G. Svendsen
This is a thesis submitted for the cand.scient. degree at the University of Oslo. It is meant to give a thorough presentation of two methods for deriving tensionless limits of stri…
