Hidden Charge 2e Boson in Doped Mott Insulators: Field Theory of Mottness
Robert G. Leigh, Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy
We construct the low energy theory of a doped Mott insulator, such as the high-temperature superconductors, by explicitly integrating over the degrees of freedom far away from the…
Towards a solution of pure Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions
Laurent Freidel, Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic
We discuss an analytic approach towards the solution of pure Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensional spacetime. The approach is based on the use of local gauge invariant variables in…
On the Glueball Spectrum of Pure Yang-Mills Theory in 2+1 Dimensions
Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic, Alexandr Yelnikov
We present details of the analytic computation of the spectrum of lowest spin glueballs in pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. The new ingredient is provided by the conjectur…
Fractional S-branes on a Spacetime Orbifold
Shinsuke Kawai, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Robert G. Leigh +1
Unstable D-branes are central objects in string theory, and exist also in time-dependent backgrounds. In this paper we take first steps to studying brane decay in spacetime orbifol…
The Rolling Tachyon Boundary Conformal Field Theory on an Orbifold
Shinsuke Kawai, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Robert G. Leigh +1
We consider the non-trivial boundary conformal field theory with exactly marginal boundary deformation. In recent years this deformation has been studied in the context of rolling…
