Accelerating Branes and Brane Temperature
J. G. Russo, P. K. Townsend
We define the local acceleration and jerk of a relativistic brane in an ambient spacetime, and construct from them a dimensionless parameter lambda that must be small for an interp…

Supersymmetry of Tensionless Rotating Strings in AdS_5 x S^5, and Nearly-BPS Operators
David Mateos, Toni Mateos, Paul K. Townsend
It is shown that a class of rotating strings in AdS_5 x S^5 with SO(6) angular momenta (J,J',J') preserve 1/8-supersymmetry for large J,J', in which limit they are effectively tens…
