Wrapped Fivebranes Redux
T. Daniel Brennan, Emil J. Martinec
The near-horizon region of Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes provides interesting examples of gauge/gravity duality. We revisit the structure of wrapped and/or intersecting fivebranes using…

Axions, Higher-Groups, and Emergent Symmetry
T. Daniel Brennan, Clay Cordova
Axions, periodic scalar fields coupled to gauge fields through the instanton density, have a rich variety of higher-form global symmetries. These include a two-form global symmetry…
