Large-N limits of 2d CFTs, Quivers and AdS_3 duals
Elias Kiritsis, Vasilis Niarchos
We explore the large-N limits of 2d CFTs, focusing mostly on WZW models and their cosets. The theory is parametrized in this limit by a 't Hooft-like coupling. We show a…

Hairpin-Branes and Tachyon-Paperclips in Holographic Backgrounds
Vasilis Niarchos
D-branes with a U-shaped geometry, like the D8 flavor branes in the Sakai-Sugimoto model of QCD, are encountered frequently in holographic backgrounds. We argue that the commonly u…
