Scattering amplitudes of regularized bosonic strings
J. Ambjorn, Y. Makeenko
We compute scattering amplitudes of the regularized bosonic Nambu-Goto string in the mean-field approximation, disregarding fluctuations of the Lagrange multiplier and an independe…
Effective QCD string beyond Nambu-Goto
J. Ambjorn, Y. Makeenko, A. Sedrakyan
We consider the QCD string as an effective string, whose action describes long-range stringy fluctuations. The leading infrared contribution to the ground state energy is given by…
A Brief Introduction to Wilson Loops and Large N
Yuri Makeenko
A pedagogical introduction to Wilson loops, lattice gauge theory and the 1/N-expansion of QCD is presented. The three introductory lectures were given at the 37th ITEP Winter Schoo…
String Theory in Electromagnetic Fields
J. Ambjorn, Y. M. Makeenko, G. W. Semenoff +1
A review of various aspects of superstrings in background electromagnetic fields is presented. Topics covered include the Born-Infeld action, spectrum of open strings in background…
Screening and D-brane Dynamics in Finite Temperature Superstring Theory
J. Ambjorn, Yu. Makeenko, G. W. Semenoff +1
The thermal dynamics of D-branes and of open superstrings in background gauge fields is studied. It is shown that D-brane dynamics forbids constant velocity motion at finite temper…
Properties of D-Branes in Matrix Model of IIB Superstring
I. Chepelev, Y. Makeenko, K. Zarembo
We discuss properties of D-brane configurations in the matrix model of type IIB superstring recently proposed by Ishibashi, Kawai, Kitazawa and Tsuchiya. We calculate central charg…
