A Massive Study of M2-brane Proposals
Jaume Gomis, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Mark Van Raamsdonk +1
We test the proposals for the worldvolume theory of M2-branes by studying its maximally supersymmetric mass-deformation. We check the simplest prediction for the mass-deformed theo…
D2 or M2? A Note on Membrane Scattering
Herman Verlinde
Motivated by a physical interpretation of its correlation functions as membrane scattering amplitudes, we re-address whether the Lorentzian BLG theory can be quantized such that it…
D-branes at Singularities and String Phenomenology
Dmitry Malyshev, Herman Verlinde
In these notes we give an introduction to some of the concepts involved in constructing SM-like gauge theories in systems of branes at singularities of CY manifolds. These notes ar…
A Higher Form (of) Mediation
Herman Verlinde, Lian-Tao Wang, Martijn Wijnholt +1
We exhibit a simple and robust mechanism for mediation of supersymmetry breaking between geometrically separated D-branes in type II string theory. The mediation proceeds via RR p-…
On the Geometry of Metastable Supersymmetry Breaking
Matthew Buican, Dmitry Malyshev, Herman Verlinde
We give a concise geometric recipe for constructing D-brane gauge theories that exhibit metastable SUSY breaking. We present two simple examples in terms of branes at deformed CY s…
Hawking Effect in 2-D String Theory
Joshua J. Friess, Herman Verlinde
We use the matrix model to study the final state resulting from a coherent high energy pulse in 2-d string theory at large string coupling. We show that the outgoing signal produce…
