The Free Energy of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
C. P. Burgess, N. R. Constable, R. C. Myers
We compute the high-temperature limit of the free energy for four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theory. At weak coupling we do so for a general ultrastatic back…
Hermitian D-brane solutions
G. Michaud, R. C. Myers
A low-energy background field solution describing D-membrane configurations is constructed which is distinguished by the appearance of a Hermitian metric on the internal space. Thi…
New angles on D-branes
J. C. Breckenridge, G. Michaud, R. C. Myers
A low-energy background field solution is presented which describes several D-membranes oriented at angles with respect to one another. The mass and charge densities for this confi…
More D-brane bound states
J. C. Breckenridge, G. Michaud, R. C. Myers
The low-energy background field solutions corresponding to D-brane bound states which possess a difference in dimension of two are presented. These solutions are constructed using…
D--branes and Spinning Black Holes
J. C. Breckenridge, R. C. Myers, A. W. Peet +1
We obtain a new class of spinning charged extremal black holes in five dimensions, considered both as classical configurations and in the Dirichlet(D)--brane representation. The de…
Dynamics of Extreme Black Holes and Massive String States
Ramzi R. Khuri, Robert C. Myers
In a recent paper, Duff and Rahmfeld argued that certain massive states of the four-dimensional heterotic string correspond to extreme black hole solutions. We provide fu…
