Matrix Models and 2D String Theory
Emil J. Martinec
String theory in two-dimensional spacetime illuminates two main threads of recent development in string theory: (1) Open/closed string duality, and (2) Tachyon condensation. In two…
Scattered Results in 2D String Theory
Emil Martinec, Kazumi Okuyama
The nonperturbative tachyon scattering amplitude in 2D type 0A string theory is computed. The probability that particles are produced is a monotonically decreasing fun…
An Index for 2D field theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry
Sergei Gukov, Emil Martinec, Gregory Moore +1
We consider families of theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry. We define an index generalizing the elliptic genus of theories with N=2 symmetry. In contrast to the N=2 ca…
The Search for a Holographic Dual to AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1)
Sergei Gukov, Emil Martinec, Gregory Moore +1
The problem of finding a holographic CFT dual to string theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1) is examined in depth. This background supports a large N=4 superconformal symmetry. While in…
Chern-Simons Gauge Theory and the AdS(3)/CFT(2) Correspondence
Sergei Gukov, Emil Martinec, Gregory Moore +1
The bulk partition function of pure Chern-Simons theory on a three-manifold is a state in the space of conformal blocks of the dual boundary RCFT, and therefore transforms non-triv…
