Thermalization of Strongly Coupled Field Theories
V. Balasubramanian, A. Bernamonti, J. de Boer +7
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we probe the scale-dependence of thermalization in strongly coupled field theories following a quench via saddlepoint calculations of 2-point func…
Are There Four-Dimensional Small Black Rings?
Norihiro Iizuka, Masaki Shigemori
In d>4 dimensions, one can argue for the existence of small black rings using a scaling argument. We apply the same scaling argument to the d=4 case and demonstrate that it fails t…
Nonsupersymmetric Brane/Antibrane Configurations in Type IIA and M Theory
Joseph Marsano, Kyriakos Papadodimas, Masaki Shigemori
We study metastable nonsupersymmetric configurations in type IIA string theory, obtained by suspending D4-branes and anti-D4-branes between holomorphically curved NS5's, which are…
Spinning Strings as Small Black Rings
Atish Dabholkar, Norihiro Iizuka, Ashik Iqubal +2
Certain supersymmetric elementary string states with spin can be viewed as small black rings whose horizon has the topology of S^1 \times S^{d-3} in a d-dimensional string theory.…
Precision Microstate Counting of Small Black Rings
Atish Dabholkar, Norihiro Iizuka, Ashik Iqubal +1
We examine certain two-charge supersymmetric states with spin in five-dimensional string theories which can be viewed as small black rings when the gravitational coupling is large.…
Massless black holes and black rings as effective geometries of the D1-D5 system
Vijay Balasubramanian, Per Kraus, Masaki Shigemori
We compute correlation functions in the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the emergence of effective spacetime geometries describing complex underlying microstates. The basic argumen…
