String theory and the Classical Stability of Plane Waves
D. Brecher, J. P. Gregory, P. M. Saffin
The presence of fields with negative mass-squared typically leads to some form of instability in standard field theories. The observation that, at least in the light-cone gauge, st…
Penrose Limits, Deformed pp-Waves and the String Duals of N=1 Large n Gauge Theory
Dominic Brecher, Clifford V. Johnson, Kenneth J. Lovis +1
A certain conformally invariant N=1 supersymmetric SU(n) gauge theory has a description as an infra-red fixed point obtained by deforming the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory b…
Chern-Simons Couplings for Dielectric F-Strings in Matrix String Theory
Dominic Brecher, Bert Janssen, Yolanda Lozano
We compute the non-abelian couplings in the Chern-Simons action for a set of coinciding fundamental strings in both the type IIA and type IIB Matrix string theories. Starting from…
