Gauge Theory and the Excision of Repulson Singularities
Clifford V. Johnson, Amanda W. Peet, Joseph Polchinski
We study brane configurations that give rise to large-N gauge theories with eight supersymmetries and no hypermultiplets. These configurations include a variety of wrapped, fractio…
Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics from Light Cone Quantization
S. Hellerman, J. Polchinski
We study the supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems that arise from discrete light cone quantization of theories with minimal supersymmetry in various dimensions. These systems,…
Puzzles and Paradoxes About Holography
Joseph Polchinski, Leonard Susskind
See hep-th/9903228.
Negative Energy, Superluminosity and Holography
Joseph Polchinski, Leonard Susskind, Nicolaos Toumbas
The holographic connection between large Super Yang Mills theory and gravity in anti deSitter space requires unfamiliar behavior of the SYM theory in the limit that the curvatu…
M-Theory and the Light Cone
Joseph Polchinski
I discuss D0-brane quantum mechanics as a nonperturbative formulation of string theory, in particular the relation between the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix model, the Mal…
S-Matrices from AdS Spacetime
Joseph Polchinski
In the large-N limit of d=4, N=4 gauge theory, the dual AdS spacetime becomes flat. We identify a gauge theory correlator whose large-N limit is the flat spacetime S-matrix.
