Multi-Trace Superpotentials vs. Matrix Models
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Bo Feng +4
We consider N = 1 supersymmetric U(N) field theories in four dimensions with adjoint chiral matter and a multi-trace tree-level superpotential. We show that the computation of the…
Gauge theory description of compactified pp-waves
M. Bertolini, J. de Boer, T. Harmark +2
We find a new Penrose limit of AdS_5*S^5 that gives the maximally symmetric pp-wave background of type IIB string theory in a coordinate system that has a manifest space-like isome…
Exploring de Sitter Space and Holography
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Djordje Minic
We explore aspects of the physics of de Sitter (dS) space that are relevant to holography with a positive cosmological constant. First we display a nonlocal map that commutes with…
