Decoupling of unphysical states in the minimal pure spinor formalism II
Nathan Berkovits, Joost Hoogeveen, Kostas Skenderis
This is the second of a series of two papers where decoupling of unphysical states in the minimal pure spinor formalism is investigated. The multi-loop amplitude prescription for t…
Topologically Massive Gravity and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Kostas Skenderis, Marika Taylor, Balt C. van Rees
We set up the AdS/CFT correspondence for topologically massive gravity (TMG) in three dimensions. The first step in this procedure is to determine the appropriate fall off conditio…
Anatomy of bubbling solutions
Kostas Skenderis, Marika Taylor
We present a comprehensive analysis of holography for the bubbling solutions of Lin-Lunin-Maldacena. These solutions are uniquely determined by a coloring of a 2-plane, which was a…
Fuzzball solutions for black holes and D1-brane--D5-brane microstates
Kostas Skenderis, Marika Taylor
We revisit the relation between fuzzball solutions and D1-D5 microstates. A consequence of the fact that the R ground states (in the usual basis) are eigenstates of the R-charge is…
Hamilton-Jacobi method for Domain Walls and Cosmologies
Kostas Skenderis, Paul K. Townsend
We use Hamiltonian methods to study curved domain walls and cosmologies. This leads naturally to first order equations for all domain walls and cosmologies foliated by slices of ma…
