Currents and Moduli in the (4,0) theory
Finn Larsen, Emil Martinec
We consider black strings in five dimensions and their description as a (4,0) CFT. The CFT moduli space is described explicitly, including its subtle global structure. BPS conditio…
Black holes and the phases of brane thermodynamics
Emil J. Martinec
Introductory lectures on the relations between the thermodynamics of gauge theory on branes and black holes, including the correspondence principle of Horowitz and Polchinski, the…
U(1) Charges and Moduli in the D1-D5 System
Finn Larsen, Emil Martinec
The decoupling limit of the D1-D5 system compactified on T^4\times S^1 has a rich spectrum of U(1) charged excitations. Even though these states are not BPS in the limit, BPS consi…
A note on the thermodynamics of `little string' theory
Emil Martinec, Vatche Sahakian
We study the thermodynamics of the D1-D5 system on a five-torus, focussing on the roles of different scales. One can take a decoupling limit such that the tension of the `little st…
