Hagedorn transition for strings on pp-waves and tori with chemical potentials
Richard C. Brower, David A. Lowe, Chung-I Tan
It has been conjectured that string theory in a pp-wave background is dual to a sector of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We study the Hagedorn transition for free strings in…
Probing the Enhancon via Calculations in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
Steven Corley, David A. Lowe
We consider the N=2 gauge theory on N D7-branes wrapping K3, with D3-brane probes. In the large N limit, the D7-branes blow up to form an enhancon shell. We probe the region inside…
Initial state effects on the cosmic microwave background and trans-planckian physics
Kevin Goldstein, David A. Lowe
There exist a one complex parameter family of de Sitter invariant vacua, known as alpha vacua. In the context of slow roll inflation, we show that all but the Bunch-Davies vacuum g…
Moduli Space Metric of N=2 Supersymmetric SU(N) Gauge Theory and the Enhancon
Gian Luigi Alberghi, Steven Corley, David A. Lowe
We compute the moduli space metric of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory with N=2 supersymmetry in the vicinity of the point where the classical moduli vanish. This gauge theory may be realiz…
Near-Extremal Black Hole Evaporation in Asymptotically Flat Spacetime
Kamran Diba, David A. Lowe
We study black hole evaporation of near-extremal black holes in spherically reduced models with asymptotically Minkowskian spacetime, with the effects of the back-reaction on the g…
