The other topological twisting of N=4 Yang-Mills
Neil Marcus
We present the alternative topological twisting of N=4 Yang-Mills, in which the path integral is dominated not by instantons, but by flat connections of the COMPLEXIFIED gauge grou…
Kahler spinning particles
Neil Marcus
We construct the U(N) spinning particle theories, which describe particles moving on Kahler spaces. These particles have the same relation to the N=2 string as usual spinning parti…
The B model as a twisted spinning particle
Neil Marcus, Shimon Yankielowicz
The B-twisted topological sigma model coupled to topological gravity is supposed to be described by an ordinary field theory: a type of holomorphic Chern-Simons theory for the open…
The spectrum of the 2D Black Hole, or Does the 2D black hole have tachyonic or W--hair?
Neil Marcus, Yaron Oz
We solve the equations of motion of the tachyon and the discrete states in the background of Witten's semiclassical black hole and in the exact 2D dilaton-graviton background of Di…
A tour through N=2 strings
Neil Marcus
I give an overview of open, closed and heterotic N=2 strings. At the tree level I derive the effective field theories of all the strings, and discuss the group theory of the N=2 op…
The N=2 open string
Neil Marcus
We show that the N=2 open string describes a theory of self-dual Yang Mills (SDYM) in (2,2) dimensions. The coupling to the closed sector is described by SDYM in a Kahler backgroun…
