D6+D0 and Five Dimensional Spinning Black Hole
N. Itzhaki
We study the system of D6+D0 branes at sub-stringy scale. We show that the proper description of the system, for large background field associated with the D0-branes, is via spinni…
Baryons from Supergravity
A. Brandhuber, N. Itzhaki, J. Sonnenschein +1
We study the construction of baryons via supergravity along the line suggested recently by Witten and by Gross and Ooguri. We calculate the energy of the baryon as a function of it…
Wilson Loops in the Large N Limit at Finite Temperature
A. Brandhuber, N. Itzhaki, J. Sonnenschein +1
Using a proposal of Maldacena we compute in the framework of the supergravity description of N coincident D3 branes the energy of a quark anti-quark pair in the large N limit of U(…
Wilson Loops, Confinement, and Phase Transitions in Large N Gauge Theories from Supergravity
Andreas Brandhuber, Nissan Itzhaki, Jacob Sonnenschein +1
We use the recently proposed supergravity approach to large gauge theories to calculate ordinary and spatial Wilson loops of gauge theories in various dimensions. In this frame…
Supergravity Solutions for Branes Localized Within Branes
N. Itzhaki, A. A. Tseytlin, S. Yankielowicz
We construct supergravity solutions describing branes (D2-branes or NS5-branes or waves) localized within D6-branes in the region close to the core of the D6-branes. Other similar…
Supergravity and The Large N Limit of Theories With Sixteen Supercharges
Nissan Itzhaki, Juan M. Maldacena, Jacob Sonnenschein +1
We consider field theories with sixteen supersymmetries, which includes U(N) Yang-Mills theories in various dimensions, and argue that their large N limit is related to certain sup…
