The Effect of Doppler Broadening on the Resonance in Collisions
Amit Loewy, Shmuel Nussinov, Sheldon L. Glashow
We calculate the Doppler broadening of the resonance produced in collisions of cosmic anti-neutrinos with with electrons in atoms up to I…
Branes in Special Holonomy Backgrounds
Amit Loewy, Yaron Oz
We study the flow from the theory of D2-branes in a G2 holonomy background to M2-branes in a Spin(7) holonomy background. We consider in detail the UV and IR regimes, and the effec…
On the holographic duals of N=1 gauge dynamics
J. Sonnenschein, A. Loewy
We analyze the holographic description of several properties of confining gauge dynamics. In particular we discuss Wilson loops including the issues of a Luscher term and th…
Supergravity and Worldvolume Physics in the Dual Description of Theory
Y. Kinar, A. Loewy, E. Schreiber +2
We look at the string theory dual of the theory, involving 5--branes, which was recently proposed by Polchinski and Strassler \cite{PolStr}. We argue that SUGRA alone is n…
On the Supergravity Evaluation of Wilson Loop Correlators in Confining Theories
J. Sonnenschein, A. Loewy
We explicitly show the area law behavior of a circular Wilson loop in confining theories from supergravity. We calculate the correlator of two Wilson loops from supergravity in con…
Semi Localized Brane Intersections in SUGRA
A. Loewy
We construct SUGRA solutions of brane configurations of intersecting Dp and NS branes. These solutions are semi-localized in the sense that one of the intersecting branes is smeare…
