Symmetry Algebras of Stringy Cosets
Dushyant Kumar, Menika Sharma
We find the symmetry algebras of cosets which are generalizations of the minimal-model cosets, of the specific form . We study…
The Higher Spin Rectangle
Menika Sharma
The chiral algebra of the symmetric product orbifold of a single-boson CFT corresponds to a "higher spin square" algebra in the large limit. In this note, we show that a symmet…
Conformal embeddings and higher-spin bulk duals
Dushyant Kumar, Menika Sharma
It is well-known that conformal embeddings can be used to construct non-diagonal modular invariants for affine lie algebras. This idea can be extended to construct infinite series…
On entanglement entropy functionals in higher derivative gravity theories
Arpan Bhattacharyya, Menika Sharma
In arXiv:1310.5713 and arXiv:1310.6659 a formula was proposed as the entanglement entropy functional for a general higher-derivative theory of gravity, whose lagrangian consists of…
On generalized gravitational entropy, squashed cones and holography
Arpan Bhattacharyya, Menika Sharma, Aninda Sinha
We consider generalized gravitational entropy in various higher derivative theories of gravity dual to four dimensional CFTs using the recently proposed regularization of squashed…
Strings at Finite Temperature: Wilson Lines, Free Energies, and the Thermal Landscape
Keith R. Dienes, Michael Lennek, Menika Sharma
According to the standard prescriptions, zero-temperature string theories can be extended to finite temperature by compactifying their time directions on a so-called "thermal circl…
