String Theory in Electromagnetic Fields
J. Ambjorn, Y. M. Makeenko, G. W. Semenoff +1
A review of various aspects of superstrings in background electromagnetic fields is presented. Topics covered include the Born-Infeld action, spectrum of open strings in background…
Running couplings and triviality of field theories on non-commutative spaces
Emil T. Akhmedov, Philip DeBoer, Gordon W. Semenoff
We examine the issue of renormalizability of asymptotically free field theories on non-commutative spaces. As an example, we solve the non-commutative O(N) invariant Gross-Neveu mo…
Worldsheet of the discrete light front string
Gordon W. Semenoff
Some aspects of light-like compactifications of superstring theory and their implications for the matrix model of M-theory are discussed.
Matrix Theory Interpretation of DLCQ String Worldsheets
G. Grignani, P. Orland, L. D. Paniak +1
We study the null compactification of type-IIA-string perturbation theory at finite temperature. We prove a theorem about Riemann surfaces establishing that the moduli spaces of in…
Wilson Loops in N=4 Supersymmetric Yang--Mills Theory
J. K. Erickson, G. W. Semenoff, K. Zarembo
Perturbative computations of the expectation value of the Wilson loop in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are reported. For the two special cases of a circular loop and a pair…
