Localized Tachyons and RG Flows
Jeffrey A. Harvey, David Kutasov, Emil J. Martinec +1
We study condensation of closed string tachyons living on defects, such as orbifold fixed planes and Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes. We argue that the high energy density of localized st…

String Theory on AdS Orbifolds
Emil Martinec, Will McElgin
We consider worldsheet string theory on orbifolds of associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of , supersymmetry is…

Noncommutative Solitons on Orbifolds
Emil J. Martinec, Gregory Moore
In the noncommutative field theory of open strings in a B-field, D-branes arise as solitons described as projection operators or partial isometries in a algebra. We discuss h…
