A Matrix Model for AdS2
Andrew Strominger
A matrix quantum mechanics with potential and an SL(2,R) conformal symmetry is conjectured to be dual to two-dimensional type 0A string theory on AdS with $…
Matrix Cosmology
Joanna L. Karczmarek, Andrew Strominger
Exact time-dependent solutions of c=1 string theory are described using the free fermion formulation. One such class of solutions describes draining of the Fermi sea and has a spac…
UV Finite Brane Decay
Joanna L. Karczmarek, Hong Liu, Juan Maldacena +1
The decay of an unstable D-brane via closed string emission and open string pair production is considered in subcritical string theory with a spacelike linear dilaton. The decay ra…
A Quantum Bousso Bound
Andrew Strominger, David Thompson
The Bousso bound requires that one quarter the area of a closed codimension two spacelike surface exceeds the entropy flux across a certain lightsheet terminating on the surface. T…
Correlators in Timelike Bulk Liouville Theory
Andrew Strominger, Tadashi Takayanagi
Liouville theory with a negative norm boson and no screening charge corresponds to an exact classical solution of closed bosonic string theory describing time-dependent bulk tachyo…
S-Brane Thermodynamics
Alexander Maloney, Andrew Strominger, Xi Yin
The description of string-theoretic s-branes at g_s=0 as exact worldsheet CFTs with a (lambda cosh X^0) or (lambda e^(X^0)) boundary interaction is considered. Due to the imaginary…
