Black Holes as Effective Geometries
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Sheer El-Showk +1
Gravitational entropy arises in string theory via coarse graining over an underlying space of microstates. In this review we would like to address the question of how the classical…
G2 Hitchin functionals at one loop
Jan de Boer, Paul de Medeiros, Sheer El-Showk +1
We consider the quantization of the effective target space description of topological M-theory in terms of the Hitchin functional whose critical points describe seven-manifolds wit…
Open G2 Strings
Jan de Boer, Paul de Medeiros, Sheer El-Showk +1
We consider an open string version of the topological twist previously proposed for sigma-models with G2 target spaces. We determine the cohomology of open strings states and relat…
