The analytic index for a family of Dirac-Ramond operators
Orlando Alvarez, Paul Windey
We derive a cohomological formula for the analytic index of the Dirac-Ramond operator and we exhibit its modular properties.
Orientifolds of the 3-sphere
Constantin Bachas, Nicolas Couchoud, Paul Windey
We study the geometry of orientifolds in the SU(2) WZW model. They correspond to the two inequivalent, orientation-reversing involutions of , whose fixed-point sets are: the n…
On the Opening of Branes
R. Argurio, F. Englert, L. Houart +1
We relate, in 10 and 11 dimensional supergravities, configurations of intersecting closed branes with vanishing binding energy to configurations where one of the branes opens and h…
Thermodynamics of Black Holes in Presence of String Instantons
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Paul Windey
The coupling of a Nambu-Goto string to gravity allows for Schwarzschild black holes whose entropy to area relation is , where is the string tension. The departur…
Black Hole Entropy and String Instantons
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Paul Windey
The coupling of a string to gravity allows for Schwarzschild black holes whose entropy to area relation is , where is the string tension. This departure from the…
Self Avoiding Surfaces in the 3D Ising Model
Vl. S Dotsenko, G. Harris, E. Marinari +3
We examine the geometrical and topological properties of surfaces surrounding clusters in the 3-- Ising model. For geometrical clusters at the percolation temperature and Fortui…
