In present paper a quantization scheme proposed recently by Morris (arXiv:1806.02206[hep-th]) is analyzed. This method is based on idea to combine the renormalization group with the BV-formalism in an unique quantization procedure. It is shown that the BV-formalism and the new method should be considered as independent approaches to quantization of gauge systems both provided by global supersymmetry.
We study the BPS spectrum and walls of marginal stability of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theory in four dimensions with gauge group SU(n) and $n\le N_{f}<2n$ fundamental flavours at the root of the Higgs branch. The strong-coupling spectrum of this theory was conjectured in hep-th/9902134 to coincide with that of the two-dimensional supersymmetric $\mathbb{CP}^{2n-N_{f}-1}$ sigma model. Using the Kontsevich--Soibelman wall-crossing formula, we start with the conjectured strong-coupling spectrum and extrapolate it to all other regions of the moduli space. In the weak-coupling regime, our results precisely agree with the semiclassical analysis of hep-th/9902134: in addition to the usual dyons, quarks, and $W$ bosons, if the complex masses obey a particular inequality, the resulting weak-coupling spectrum includes a tower of bound states consisting of a dyon and one or more quarks. In the special case of $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$-symmetric masses, there are bound states with one quark for odd $n$ and no bound states for even $n$.
We provide the most general embedding of a purely tensional 2-brane in a 3+1 dimensional bulk described by the AdS C-metric. The AdS C-metric has been first considered as bulk metric by Emparan, Horowitz and Myers (hep-th/9911043 and hep-th/9912135), who have found metrics describing a brane localized black hole. In those papers, one of the parameters of the bulk C-metric was fine-tuned to the brane tension. We relax this fine tuning and we find two new classes of solutions, the first describing a time dependent, rotationally symmetric metric, the second describing accelerated black holes on the brane. This is the first exact solution on the brane describing two objects in interaction. We discuss the qualitative CFT interpretation of these solutions.
We study the six-dimensional dilaton gravity Yang black holes of hep-th/0607193, which carry (1,-1) charge in SU(2)xSU(2) gauge group. We find what values of the asymptotic parameters (mass and scalar charge) lead to a regular horizon, and show that there are no regular solutions with an extremal horizon.
This note is devoted to the study of the classical solutions on the bosonic string with euclidean world-sheet in AdS(5)xS(5). We generalize solutions presented in arXiv:0707.4254 [hep-th] to the case where we include the dynamics of the string on S(5) as well.
In hep-th/0501082, a field theoretic ``toy model'' for the Landscape was proposed. We show that the considerations of that paper carry through to realistic effective Lagrangians, such as those that emerge out of string theory. Extracting the physics of the large number of metastable vacua that ensue requires somewhat more sophisticated algebro-geometric techniques, which we review.
In this paper, we study the generation of a large scale magnetic field with amplitude of order $μ$G in an inflationary model which has been introduced in hep-th/0310221. This inflationary model based on existence of a speed limit for inflaton field. Generating a mass for inflaton at scale above the $φ_{IR}$, breaks the conformal triviality of the Maxwell equation and causes to originate a magnetic field during the inflation. The amplitude strongly depends on the details of reheating stage and also depends on the e-foldings parameter N. We find the amplitude of the primordial magnetic field at decoupling time in this inflationary background using late time behavior of the theory.
We modify the first ISS model (hep-th/0602239) by gauging a diagonal flavour symmetry. We add additional multiplets transforming as fundamentals and anti-fundamentals under the gauged flavour group. Their number is chosen such that the microscopic theory is asymptotically free whereas in the Seiberg dual (w.r.t. the colour group) it changes to an infrared free theory. Non perturbative effects within the flavour group can correct the location of the supersymmetric vacuum. Statements about meta-stability of the susy breaking vacuum would require a two loop calculation. For general couplings, the question whether gauging flavour destabilises susy breaking remains open.
Tensionless super-p-branes in a generalized superspace with additional tensorial central charge coordinates may provide an extended object model for BPS preons, i.e. for the hypothetical constituents of M-theory preserving 31 of 32 supersymmetries [hep-th/0101113].
The trace anomaly for nonminimally coupled scalars in spherically reduced gravity obtained by Bousso and Hawking (hep-th/9705236) is incorrect. We explain the reasons for the deviations from our correct (published) result which is supported by several other recent papers.
We present a short review of hep-th/0306170. In the context of AdS/CFT correspondence, we explore what information from behind the horizon of the bulk black hole geometry can be found in boundary CFT correlators. In particular, we argue that the CFT correlators contain distinct, albeit subtle, signals of the black hole singularity.
We examine supersymmetric solutions of N=2, D=5 gauged supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets using the spinorial geometry method. By making use of methods developed in hep-th/0606049 to analyse preons in type IIB supergravity, we show that there are no solutions preserving exactly 3/4 of the supersymmetry.
