A Matrix Model for Black Hole Thermalization
Norihiro Iizuka, Joseph Polchinski
We present a matrix model which is intended as a toy model of the gauge dual of an AdS black hole. In particular, it captures the key property that at infinite correlators deca…

Closed String Tachyons on AdS Orbifolds and Dual Yang-Mills Instantons
Yasuaki Hikida, Norihiro Iizuka
We study the condensation of localized closed string tachyons on AdS orbifolds both from the bulk and boundary theory viewpoints. We first extend the known results for AdS_5/Z_k to…

Spinning Strings as Small Black Rings
Atish Dabholkar, Norihiro Iizuka, Ashik Iqubal +2
Certain supersymmetric elementary string states with spin can be viewed as small black rings whose horizon has the topology of S^1 \times S^{d-3} in a d-dimensional string theory.…
