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…
Open String Creation by S-Branes
Andrew Strominger
An sp-brane can be viewed as the creation and decay of an unstable D(p+1)-brane. It is argued that the decaying half of an sp-brane can be described by a variant of boundary Liouvi…
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…
Lectures on Superconformal Quantum Mechanics and Multi-Black Hole Moduli Spaces
Ruth Britto-Pacumio, Jeremy Michelson, Andrew Strominger +1
This contribution to the proceedings of the 1999 NATO ASI on Quantum Geometry at Akureyri, Iceland, is based on notes of lectures given by A. Strominger. Topics include N-particle…
Anti-de Sitter Fragmentation
Jeremy Michelson
Some general aspects of the AdS_2/CFT_1 correspondence, previously discussed in hep-th/9812073, are summarized. The majority of this summary is devoted to the question of where the…
Les Houches Lectures on Black Holes
Andy Strominger
Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Causal Structure and Penrose Diagrams: Minkowski Space; 1+1 Dimensional Minkowski Space; Schwarzchild Black Holes; Gravitational Collapse and the Vaidy…
