A New Hat For The c=1 Matrix Model

- 21 July 2003
We consider two dimensional supergravity coupled to $\hat c=1$ matter. This system can also be interpreted as noncritical type 0 string theory in a two dimensional target space. After reviewing and…

The Annular Report on Non-Critical String Theory

- 18 May 2003
Recent results on the annulus partition function in Liouville field theory are applied to non-critical string theory, both below and above the critical dimension. Liouville gravity coupled to $c\le…
D-branes and strings as non-commutative solitons
- J. Harvey, Per Kraus, F. Larsen, E. Martinec
- Physics
- 3 May 2000
The non-commutative geometry of a large auxiliary B-field simplifies the construction of D-branes as solitons in open string field theory. Similarly, fundamental strings are constructed as localized…
AdS Dynamics from Conformal Field Theory
- T. Banks, Michael R Douglas, G. Horowitz, E. Martinec
- Physics
- 4 August 1998
We explore the extent to which a local string theory dynamics in anti-de Sitter space can be determined from its proposed Conformal Field Theory (CFT) description. Free fields in the bulk are…
Localized Tachyons and RG Flows
- J. Harvey, D. Kutasov, E. Martinec, G. Moore
- Mathematics
- 16 November 2001
We study condensation of closed string tachyons living on defects, such as orbifold fixed planes and Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes. We argue that the high energy density of localized states decreases in…
On the relevance of tachyons
- J. Harvey, D. Kutasov, E. Martinec
- Physics
- 13 March 2000
We study condensation of open string tachyons using renormalization group flow in the worldsheet field theory. This approach leads to a simple picture of the physics of the nontrivial condensate.

Perturbations in Chromo-Natural Inflation
- P. Adshead, E. Martinec, Mark Wyman
- Physics
- 13 May 2013
A bstractChromo-Natural Inflation is the first worked example of a model of inflation in which slow-roll inflation is achieved by “magnetic drift” as opposed to Hubble friction. In this work, we give…
