Thermodynamics of Born-Infeld Black Holes
Wissam A. Chemissany, Mees de Roo, Sudhakar Panda
We discuss the horizon structure for Born-Infeld black holes, in the context of Einstein-Born-Infeld gravity. We show that the entropy function formalism agrees with a direct calcu…
Multiple Membranes from Gauged Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Olaf Hohm +1
Starting from gauged N=8 supergravity in three dimensions we construct actions for multiple membranes by taking the limit to global supersymmetry for different choices of the embed…
Multiple M2-branes and the Embedding Tensor
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Mees de Roo, Olaf Hohm
We show that the Bagger-Lambert theory of multiple M2-branes fits into the general construction of maximally supersymmetric gauge theories using the embedding tensor technique. We…
alpha'-Corrections to Heterotic Superstring Effective Action Revisited
W. A. Chemissany, Mees de Roo, Sudhakar Panda
In this letter we establish that the supersymmetric R^2 effective action for the heterotic string, obtained from the supersymmetrisation of the Lorentz Chern-Simons term, is to ord…
