Stability of warped AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity
Dionysios Anninos, Mboyo Esole, Monica Guica
AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity (TMG) have been shown to be perturbatively unstable for all values of the coupling constant except the chiral point μl=1. We study the p…
D-brane Deconstructions in IIB Orientifolds
Andres Collinucci, Frederik Denef, Mboyo Esole
With model building applications in mind, we collect and develop basic techniques to analyze the landscape of D7-branes in type IIB compact Calabi-Yau orientifolds, in three differ…
D-term cosmic strings from N=2 Supergravity
Ana Achucarro, Alessio Celi, Mboyo Esole +2
We describe new half-BPS cosmic string solutions in N=2, d=4 supergravity coupled to one vector multiplet and one hypermultiplet. They are closely related to D-term strings in N=1…
The Non-Local Massive Yang-Mills Action as a Gauged Sigma Model
Mboyo Esole
We show that the massive Yang--Mills action having as a mass term the non-local operator introduced by Gubarov, Stodolsky, and Zakharov is classically equivalent to a principal gau…
On the renormalisability of gauge invariant extensions of the squared gauge potential
Mboyo Esole, Filipe Freire
We show that gauge invariant extensions of the local functional $\cO = \frac12\int d^4x A^2$ have long range non localities which can only be ``renormalised'' with reference to a s…
The unphysical nature of the SL(2,R) symmetry and its associated condensates in Yang-Mills theories
Mboyo Esole, Filipe Freire
BRST cohomology methods are used to explain the origin of the SL(2,R) symmetry in Yang-Mills theories. Clear evidence is provided for the unphysical nature of this symmetry. This i…
