The Hirota equation for string theory in AdS5xS5 from the fusion of line operators
Raphael Benichou
We present a perturbative derivation of the T-system that is believed to encode the exact spectrum of planar N=4 SYM. The T-system is understood as an operator identity between som…
Geometry of open strings ending on backreacting D3-branes
Raphael Benichou, John Estes
We investigate open string theory on backreacting D3-branes using a spacetime approach. We study in detail the half-BPS supergravity solutions describing open strings ending on D3-…
The fate of Newton's law in brane-world scenarios
Raphael Benichou, John Estes
We consider brane-world scenarios embedded into string theory. We find that the D-brane backreaction induces a large increase in the open string's proper length. Consequently the s…
First-principles derivation of the AdS/CFT Y-systems
Raphael Benichou
We provide a first-principles, perturbative derivation of the AdS5/CFT4 Y-system that has been proposed to solve the spectrum problem of N=4 SYM. The proof relies on the computatio…
Fusion of line operators in conformal sigma-models on supergroups, and the Hirota equation
Raphael Benichou
We study line operators in the two-dimensional sigma-model on PSl(n|n) using the current-current OPEs. We regularize and renormalize these line operators, and compute their fusion…
The influence of D-branes' backreaction upon gravitational interactions between open strings
Raphael Benichou
We argue that gravitational interactions between open strings ending on D3-branes are largely shaped by the D3-branes' backreaction. To this end we consider classical open strings…
