Remarks on brane and antibrane dynamics
Ben Michel, Eric Mintun, Joseph Polchinski +2
We develop the point of view that brane actions should be understood in the context of effective field theory, and that this is the correct way to treat classical as well as loop d…
Journey to the Center of the Fuzzball
Fang Chen, Ben Michel, Joseph Polchinski +1
We study two-charge fuzzball geometries, with attention to the use of the proper duality frame. For zero angular momentum there is an onion-like structure, and the smooth D1-D5 geo…
Metastability in Bubbling AdS Space
Stefano Massai, Giulio Pasini, Andrea Puhm
We study the dynamics of probe M5 branes with dissolved M2 charge in bubbling geometries with SO(4) x SO(4) symmetry. These solutions were constructed by Bena-Warner and Lin-Lunin-…
