Grand-Canonical Symmetric Orbifold Theories
Lior Benizri
In this letter, we study grand-canonical symmetric orbifolds of conformal field theories. We propose to define them as the direct sum of symmetric orbifolds of all degrees. The nat…
The String Dual to Two-dimensional Yang-Mills Theory Revisited
Lior Benizri, Jan Troost
We propose that chiral two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a Riemann surface is dual to a deformed stationary subsector of the Gromov-Witten theory of that Riemann surface. Firstl…
Symmetric Group Gauge Theories and Simple Gauge/String Dualities
Lior Benizri, Jan Troost
We study two-dimensional topological gauge theories with gauge group equal to the symmetric group and their string theory duals. The simplest such theory is the topological q…
More On Pure Gravity with a Negative Cosmological Constant
Lior Benizri, Jan Troost
We identify an ambiguity in the Chern-Simons formulation of three-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant that originates in an outer automorphism of the Lie algebr…
