Random Polynomials and the Friendly Landscape
Jacques Distler, Uday Varadarajan
In hep-th/0501082, a field theoretic ``toy model'' for the Landscape was proposed. We show that the considerations of that paper carry through to realistic effective Lagrangians, s…
Loop Groups, Kaluza-Klein Reduction and M-Theory
Aaron Bergman, Uday Varadarajan
We show that the data of a principal G-bundle over a principal circle bundle is equivalent to that of a \hat{LG} = U(1) |x LG bundle over the base of the circle bundle. We apply th…
1+1 Dimensional Critical String Theory and Holography
Aaron Bergman, Jacques Distler, Uday Varadarajan
In hep-th/0310120, Goheer, Kleban and Susskind argued that the holographic principle is inconsistent with the existence of stable, Lorentz invariant, 1+1 dimensional compactificati…
Holographic Protection of Chronology in Universes of the Godel Type
Edward Boyda, Surya Ganguli, Petr Horava +1
We analyze the structure of supersymmetric Godel-like cosmological solutions of string theory. Just as the original four-dimensional Godel universe, these solutions represent rotat…
Nonlocal Effects on D-branes in Plane-Wave Backgrounds
Ori J. Ganor, Uday Varadarajan
We argue that the effective field theory on D3-branes in a plane-wave background with 3-form flux is a nonlocal deformation of Yang-Mills theory. In the case of NSNS flux, it is a…
K-Theory and S-Duality: Starting Over from Square 3
Jarah Evslin, Uday Varadarajan
Recently Maldacena, Moore, and Seiberg (MMS) have proposed a physical interpretation of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, which roughly computes the K-homology groups that c…
