Janus field theories from multiple M2 branes
Yoshinori Honma, Satoshi Iso, Yoske Sumitomo +1
Based on the recent proposal of N=8 superconformal gauge theories of the multiple M2 branes, we derive (2+1)-dimensional supersymmetric Janus field theories with a space-time depen…
Hawking Radiation, Gravitational Anomaly and Conformal Symmetry - the Origin of Universality -
Satoshi Iso
The universal behavior of Hawking radiation is originated in the conformal symmetries of matter fields near the black hole horizon. We explain the origin of this universality based…
Index theorem in spontaneously symmetry-broken gauge theories on a fuzzy 2-sphere
Hajime Aoki, Yoshiko Hirayama, Satoshi Iso
We consider a gauge-Higgs system on a fuzzy 2-sphere and study the topological structure of gauge configurations, when the U(2) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to U(1) times…
Higher-spin Gauge and Trace Anomalies in Two-dimensional Backgrounds
Satoshi Iso, Takeshi Morita, Hiroshi Umetsu
Two-dimensional quantum fields in electric and gravitational backgrounds can be described by conformal field theories, and hence all the physical (covariant) quantities can be writ…
Fluxes of Higher-spin Currents and Hawking Radiations from Charged Black Holes
Satoshi Iso, Takeshi Morita, Hiroshi Umetsu
This is an extended version of the previous paper (hep-th/0701272). Quantum fields near horizons can be described in terms of an infinite set of two-dimensional conformal fields. W…
Tuning phase transition between quantum spin Hall and ordinary insulating phases
Shuichi Murakami, Satoshi Iso, Yshai Avishai +2
An effective theory is constructed for analyzing a generic phase transition between the quantum spin Hall and the insulator phases. Occurrence of degeneracies due to closing of the…
