The Rolling Tachyon as a Matrix Model
Neil R. Constable, Finn Larsen
We express all correlation functions in timelike boundary Liouville theory as unitary matrix integrals and develop efficient techniques to evaluate these integrals. We compute larg…
Intersecting Branes, Defect Conformal Field Theories and Tensionless Strings
Neil R. Constable, Johanna Erdmenger, Zachary Guralnik +1
The defect conformal field theory describing intersecting D3-branes at a C^2/Z_k orbifold is used to (de)construct the theory of intersecting M5-branes, as well as M5-branes wrappi…
(De)constructing Intersecting M5-branes
N. R. Constable, J. Erdmenger, Z. Guralnik +1
We describe intersecting M5-branes, as well as M5-branes wrapping the holomorphic curve xy=c, in terms of a limit of a defect conformal field theory with two-dimensional (4,0) supe…
Intersecting D3-branes and Holography
Neil R. Constable, Johanna Erdmenger, Zachary Guralnik +1
We study a defect conformal field theory describing D3-branes intersecting over two space-time dimensions. This theory admits an exact Lagrangian description which includes both tw…
Operator Mixing and the BMN Correspondence
Neil R. Constable, Daniel Z. Freedman, Matthew Headrick +1
In this note we update the discussion of the BMN correspondence and string interactions in hep-th/0205089 to incorporate the effects of operator mixing. We diagonalize the matrix o…
Calibrations, Monopoles and Fuzzy Funnels
Neil R. Constable, Neil D. Lambert
We present new non-Abelian solitonic configurations in the low energy effective theory describing a collection of N parallel D1--branes. These configurations preserve 1/4, 1/8, 1/1…
