Future Foam
Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel, Yasuhiro Sekino +4
We study pocket universes which have zero cosmological constant and non-trivial boundary topology. These arise from bubble collisions in eternal inflation. Using a simplified dust…
A Holographic Framework for Eternal Inflation
Ben Freivogel, Yasuhiro Sekino, Leonard Susskind +1
In this paper we provide some circumstantial evidence for a holographic duality between bubble nucleation in an eternally inflating universe and a Euclidean conformal field theory.…
Large N limit of SYM theories with 16 supercharges from superstrings on Dp-brane backgrounds
Masako Asano, Yasuhiro Sekino
We investigate the holographic correspondence between (p+1)-dimensional () SYM theories with 16 supercharges and superstring theories on the near-horizon limit of Dp-b…
Penrose Limit and Enhancon Geometry
Katsushi Ito, Yasuhiro Sekino
We study superstring theories on the Penrose limit of the enhancon geometry realized by the D(p+4)-branes wrapped on a K3 surface. We first examine the null geodesics with fixed ra…
