Cosmic Perturbations Through the Cyclic Ages
Joel K. Erickson, Steven Gratton, Paul J. Steinhardt +1
We analyze the evolution of cosmological perturbations in the cyclic model, paying particular attention to their behavior and interplay over multiple cycles. Our key results are: (…
Kasner and Mixmaster behavior in universes with equation of state w \ge 1
Joel K. Erickson, Daniel H. Wesley, Paul J. Steinhardt +1
We consider cosmological models with a scalar field with equation of state that contract towards a big crunch singularity, as in recent cyclic and ekpyrotic scenarios. We…
Wilson Loops in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang--Mills Theory
J. K. Erickson, G. W. Semenoff, K. Zarembo
Perturbative computations of the expectation value of the Wilson loop in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are reported. For the two special cases of a circular loop and a pair…
Static Potential in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
J. K. Erickson, G. W. Semenoff, R. J. Szabo +1
We compute the leading order perturbative correction to the static potential in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that the perturbative expansion contains infr…
Structure of the Electric Flux in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
J. Erickson, G. W. Semenoff, K. Zarembo
Correlators of Wilson loop operators with O_4=Tr(F_{μν}^2+...) are computed in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The results are compared with the leadi…
