Holographic Duals of Long Open Strings
Ofer Aharony, David Kutasov
We study the holographic map between long open strings, which stretch between D-branes separated in the bulk space-time, and operators in the dual boundary theory. We focus on a ge…
On the Conformal Field Theory Duals of type IIA AdS_4 Flux Compactifications
Ofer Aharony, Yaron E. Antebi, Micha Berkooz
We study the conformal field theory dual of the type IIA flux compactification model of DeWolfe, Giryavets, Kachru and Taylor, with all moduli stabilized. We find its central charg…
The space-time operator product expansion in string theory duals of field theories
Ofer Aharony, Zohar Komargodski
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) limit of correlation functions in field theories which possess string theory duals, from the point of view of the string worldsheet. W…
A holographic computation of the central charges of d=4, N=2 SCFTs
Ofer Aharony, Yuji Tachikawa
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the central charges of the d=4, N=2 superconformal field theories arising from N D3-branes at singularities in F-theory. These include…
Rho meson condensation at finite isospin chemical potential in a holographic model for QCD
Ofer Aharony, Kasper Peeters, Jacob Sonnenschein +1
We analyze the effect of an isospin chemical potential μ_I in the Sakai-Sugimoto model, which is the string dual of a confining gauge theory related to large N_c QCD, at temperatur…
The Moduli Space and M(atrix) Theory of 9d N=1 Backgrounds of M/String Theory
Ofer Aharony, Zohar Komargodski, Assaf Patir
We discuss the moduli space of nine dimensional N=1 supersymmetric compactifications of M theory / string theory with reduced rank (rank 10 or rank 2), exhibiting how all the diffe…
