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…
PP-wave string interactions from perturbative Yang-Mills theory
Neil R. Constable, Daniel Z. Freedman, Matthew Headrick +4
Recently, Berenstein et al. have proposed a duality between a sector of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory with large R-charge J, and string theory in a pp-wave background. In the limit c…
