Analytical and numerical routes to strong coupling in SCFTs
Pieter-Jan De Smet, Alessandro Pini, Paolo Vallarino
We consider the quiver gauge theory arising from a orbifold of Super Yang-Mills theory. Over the years, exploiting supersymmetric loc…
Black holes on cylinders are not algebraically special
Pieter-Jan De Smet
We give a Petrov classification for five-dimensional metrics. We classify Ricci-flat metrics that are static, have an SO(3) isometry group and have Petrov type 22. We use this clas…
Toy Model for Tachyon Condensation in Bosonic String Field Theory
Pieter-Jan De Smet, Joris Raeymaekers
We study tachyon condensation in a baby version of Witten's open string field theory. For some special values of one of the parameters of the model, we are able to obtain closed fo…
The Tachyon Potential in Witten's Superstring Field Theory
Pieter-Jan De Smet, Joris Raeymaekers
We study the tachyon potential in the NS sector of Witten's cubic superstring field theory. In this theory, the pure tachyon contribution to the potential has no minimum. We find t…
