A Yang-Mills Type Gauge Theory of Gravity and the Dark Matter Problem
Yi Yang, Wai Bong Yeung
A Yang-Mills type gauge theory of gravity is shown to have a structure richer than that of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. By elevating the full connections to independent…
NS5 Brane and Little String Duality in the pp-wave Limit
P. Matlock, R. Parthasarathy, K. S. Viswanathan +1
We study NSR strings in the Nappi-Witten background, which is the Penrose limit of a certain NS5-brane supergravity solution. We solve the theory in the light-cone gauge, obtaining…
Dp-brane Tension from Tachyons and B-field in Vacuum String Field Theory
P. Matlock, R. C. Rashkov, K. S. Viswanathan +1
We consider tachyonic string-field fluctuations about a Dp-brane background in the geometrical (CFT) formulation of Vacuum String Field Theory. We then extend this analysis to the…
Tachyon Condensation and Background Independent Superstring Field Theory
K. S. Viswanathan, Y. Yang
We study quantum corrections at the one loop level in open superstring tachyon condensation using the boundary string field theory (BSFT) method. We find that the tachyon field act…
