Superconformal Indices for Chern Simons Theories
Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Shiraz Minwalla
Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena have recently proposed a dual gravitational description for a family of superconformal Chern Simons theories in three spacetime dimensions.…
Comments on 1/16 BPS Quantum States and Classical Configurations
Lars Grant, Pietro A. Grassi, Seok Kim +1
We formulate the problem of counting 1/16 BPS states of N = 4 Yang Mills theory as the enumeration of the local cohomology of an operator acting on holomorphic fields on C^2. We st…
Indices for Superconformal Field Theories in 3,5 and 6 Dimensions
Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Shiraz Minwalla +1
We present a trace formula for a Witten type Index for superconformal field theories in d=3,5 and 6 dimensions, generalizing a similar recent construction in d=4. We perform a deta…
Nonlinear Fluid Dynamics from Gravity
Sayantani Bhattacharyya, Veronika E Hubeny, Shiraz Minwalla +1
Black branes in AdS5 appear in a four parameter family labeled by their velocity and temperature. Promoting these parameters to Goldstone modes or collective coordinate fields -- a…
