String Theory on AdS_3
Jan de Boer, Hirosi Ooguri, Harlan Robins +1
It was shown by Brown and Henneaux that the classical theory of gravity on AdS_3 has an infinite-dimensional symmetry group forming a Virasoro algebra. More recently, Giveon, Kutas…
Six-Dimensional Supergravity on S^3 X AdS_3 and 2d Conformal Field Theory
Jan de Boer
In this paper we study the relation between six-dimensional supergravity compactified on S^3 X AdS_3 and certain two-dimensional conformal field theories. We compute the Kaluza-Kle…
New Spin-Two Gauged Sigma Models and General Conformal Field Theory
Jan de Boer, M. B. Halpern
Recently, we have studied the general Virasoro construction at one loop in the background of the general non-linear sigma model. Here, we find the action formulation of these new c…
Membrane Scattering in Curved Space with M-Momentum Transfer
Jan de Boer, Kentaro Hori, Hirosi Ooguri
We study membrane scattering in a curved space with non-zero M-momentum p_{11} transfer. In the low-energy short-distance region, the membrane dynamics is described by a three-dime…
Branes and Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
Jan de Boer, Kentaro Hori, Hirosi Ooguri +1
We study dynamical supersymmetry breaking in four dimensions using the fivebrane of M theory, in particular for the Izawa-Yanagida-Intriligator-Thomas (IYIT) model, which we realiz…
