Horowitz-Polchinski Solutions at Large
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
In arXiv:2509.02905 [hep-th], we introduced an approximation that allows one to study Horowitz-Polchinski backgrounds beyond the weak coupling regime. In this paper we describe the…
On Cosmological Singularities in String Theory
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
We study the time evolution of a dimensional spacetime, where space is a large three-sphere, due to small perturbations of the background fields. We focus on two classes of d…
From Horowitz -- Polchinski to Thirring and Back
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
We propose a new approach for studying dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild black holes with Hawking temperature near the Hagedorn temperature and Horowitz-Polchinski solution…
Effective
Soumangsu Chakraborty, Amit Giveon, David Kutasov
In arXiv:2109.00065, it was pointed out that superstring theory on with -field background and is dual to a symmetric product CFT deform…
CFT Correlators from (0,2) Heterotic String
Amit Giveon, Akikazu Hashimoto, David Kutasov
In \cite{Giveon:2024fhz}, we argued that the (0,2) heterotic string gives rise in spacetime to left and right-moving symmetric product CFT's. In this paper we confirm this claim by…
