Eikonal Scattering in Kaluza-Klein Gravity
Arnau Koemans Collado, Steven Thomas
We study eikonal scattering in the context of Kaluza-Klein theory by considering a massless scalar field coupled to Einstein's gravity in 5D compactified to 4D on a manifold $M_4\t…
The Subleading Eikonal in Supergravity Theories
Arnau Koemans Collado, Paolo Di Vecchia, Rodolfo Russo +1
In this paper we study the subleading contributions to eikonal scattering in (super)gravity theories with particular emphasis on the role of both elastic and inelastic scattering p…
D-brane Potentials in the Warped Resolved Conifold and Natural Inflation
Zachary Kenton, Steven Thomas
In this paper we obtain a model of Natural Inflation from string theory with a Planckian decay constant. We investigate D-brane dynamics in the background of the warped resolved co…
Maxwell-Chern-Simons Vortices and Holographic Superconductors
Gianni Tallarita, Steven Thomas
We investigate probe limit vortex solutions of a charged scalar field in Einstein-Maxwell theory in 3+1 dimensions, for an asymptotically AdS Schwarzschild black hole metric with t…
Non-topological Cycloops
Matthew Lake, Steven Thomas, John Ward
We propose a mechanism for the creation of cosmic string loops with dynamically stabilised windings in the internal space. Assuming a velocity correlations regime in the post-infla…
Dirac-Born-Infeld actions and Tachyon Monopoles
Vincenzo Calò, Gianni Tallarita, Steven Thomas
We investigate magnetic monopole solutions of the non-abelian DBI action describing 2 coincident non-BPS D9-branes in flat space. Just as in the case of kink and vortex solitonic t…
