Decapitating Tadpoles
Allan Adams, John McGreevy, Eva Silverstein
We propose that perturbative quantum field theory and string theory can be consistently modified in the infrared to eliminate, in a radiatively stable manner, tadpole instabilities…
de Sitter Space in Non-Critical String Theory
Alexander Maloney, Eva Silverstein, Andrew Strominger
Supercritical string theories in D>10 dimensions with no moduli are described, generalizing the asymmetric orientifold construction of one of the authors. By taking the number of d…
Clean Time-Dependent String Backgrounds from Bubble Baths
O. Aharony, M. Fabinger, G. Horowitz +1
We consider the set of controlled time-dependent backgrounds of general relativity and string theory describing ``bubbles of nothing'', obtained via double analytic continuation of…
