De (Baby) Sitter Overlaps
Marcus K. Benna
In this note we employ methods borrowed from spin glass theory to study the phase space structure of fields in an inflating universe. In particular, we compute the overlap distribu…
Charges of Monopole Operators in Chern-Simons Yang-Mills Theory
Marcus K. Benna, Igor R. Klebanov, Thomas Klose
We calculate the non-abelian R-charges of BPS monopole operators in three-dimensional gauge theories with N=3 supersymmetry. This class of models includes ABJM theory, the proposed…
Superconformal Chern-Simons Theories and AdS_4/CFT_3 Correspondence
Marcus Benna, Igor Klebanov, Thomas Klose +1
We discuss the N=2 superspace formulation of the N=8 superconformal Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory, and of the N=6 superconformal Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena U(N)xU(N) Che…
Gauge-String Dualities and Some Applications
Marcus K. Benna, Igor R. Klebanov
The first part of these lectures contains an introductory review of the AdS/CFT duality and of its tests. Applications to thermal gauge theory are also discussed briefly. The secon…
On Normal Modes of a Warped Throat
Marcus K. Benna, Anatoly Dymarsky, Igor R. Klebanov +1
As shown in arXiv:hep-th/0405282, the warped deformed conifold has two bosonic massless modes, a pseudoscalar and a scalar, that are dual to the phase and the modulus of the baryon…
On the Strong Coupling Scaling Dimension of High Spin Operators
L. F. Alday, G. Arutyunov, M. K. Benna +2
We give an exact analytic solution of the strong coupling limit of the integral equation which was recently proposed to describe the universal scaling function of high spin operato…
