Nonlinear fluid dynamics from gravity

Black branes in AdS5 appear in a four parameter family labeled by their velocity and temperature. Promoting these parameters to Goldstone modes or collective coordinate fields—arbitrary functions of…

An Index for 4 Dimensional Super Conformal Theories

We present a trace formula for an index over the spectrum of four dimensional superconformal field theories on S3 ×  time. Our index receives contributions from states invariant under at least one…

Noncommutative perturbative dynamics

We study the perturbative dynamics of noncommutative field theories on R d , and find an intriguing mixing of the UV and the IR. High energies of virtual particles in loops produce non-analyticity at…

Noncommutative Solitons

We find classically stable solitons (instantons) in odd (even) dimensional scalar noncommutative field theories whose scalar potential, V ( φ ), has at least two minima. These solutions are bubbles of…

PP-wave string interactions from perturbative Yang-Mills theory

Recently, Berenstein et al. have proposed a duality between a sector of = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory with large R-charge J, and string theory in a pp-wave background. In the limit considered, the…

Constraints on fluid dynamics from equilibrium partition functions

A bstractWe study the thermal partition function of quantum field theories on arbitrary stationary background spacetime, and with arbitrary stationary background gauge fields, in the long wavelength…

ABJ triality: from higher spin fields to strings

We demonstrate that a supersymmetric and parity violating version of Vasiliev’s higher spin gauge theory in AdS4 admits boundary conditions that preserve N=0,1,2,3,4?> or 6 supersymmetries. In…

OM theory in diverse dimensions

Open string theories can be decoupled from closed strings and gravity by scaling to the critical electric field. We propose dual descriptions for the strong coupling limit of these NCOS…

Chern–Simons theory with vector fermion matter

We study three-dimensional conformal field theories described by U(N) Chern–Simons theory at level k coupled to massless fermions in the fundamental representation. By solving a Schwinger–Dyson…
