The spectrum of a quantum Lifshitz black hole in two dimensions
Matthias Harksen, Watse Sybesma
We examine the low-energy spectrum of a four-dimensional near-extremal black hole that arises as a solution to a low energy effective theory of heterotic string theory. The effecti…
Liouville gravity at the end of the world: Deformed defects in AdS/BCFT
Dominik Neuenfeld, Andrew Svesko, Watse Sybesma
We study shape deformations of two-dimensional end-of-the-world (ETW) branes, such as those in bottom-up models of two-dimensional holographic boundary conformal field theories (BC…
Carroll Strings with an Extended Symmetry Algebra
Matthias Harksen, Diego Hidalgo, Watse Sybesma +1
Starting from the Polyakov action we consider two distinct Carroll limits in target space, keeping the string worldsheet relativistic. The resulting magnetic and chiral Carroll str…
