Casimir Effect for a Semitransparent Wedge and an Annular Piston. (arXiv:0911.1123v1 [hep-th])

06.11.2009 02:31    arxiv.org
We consider the Casimir energy due to a massless scalar field in a geometryof an infinite wedge closed by a Dirichlet circular cylinder, where the wedgeis formed by $\delta$-function potentials, so-called semitransparentboundaries. A finite expression for the Casimir energy corresponding

Asymmetric Wormholes via Electrically Charged Lightlike Branes. (arXiv:0911.0940v1 [hep-th])

06.11.2009 02:31    arxiv.org
We consider a self-consistent Einstein-Maxwell-Kalb-Ramond system in the bulkD=4 space-time interacting with a variable-tension electrically chargedlightlike brane. The latter serves both as a material and charge source forgravity and electromagnetism, as well as it dynamically generates a bulk spacevarying cosmological

Revising the observable consequences of slow-roll inflation. (arXiv:0911.0961v1 [hep-th])

06.11.2009 02:31    arxiv.org
We study the generation of primordial perturbations in a (single-field)slow-roll inflationary universe. In momentum space, these (Gaussian)perturbations are characterized by a zero mean and a non-zero variance$\Delta^2(k, t)$. However, in position space the variance diverges in theultraviolet. The requirement of

According to the Alday-Maldacena program the strong coupling limit of SuperYang-Mills scattering amplitudes is given by minimal area surfaces in AdSspacetime with a boundary consisting of a momentum space polygon. The stringequations in AdS systematically reduce to coupled Toda type

In this paper we will present very recent results obtained in the ambit ofquantum electrodynamics in curved spacetime. We utilize a newly developednon-perturbative heat kernel asymptotic expansion on homogeneous Abelianbundles over Riemannian manifolds in order to compute the one-loop effectiveaction

Path Integral over Reparametrizations: Levy Flights versus Random Walks. (arXiv:0911.1083v1 [hep-th])

06.11.2009 02:31    arxiv.org
We investigate the properties of the path integral over reparametrizations (=the boundary value of the Liouville field in open string theory). Discretizingthe path integral, we apply the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to numericalsimulations of a proper (subordinator) stochastic process and find that

We discuss the hypothesis of a fixed point for quantum gravity coupled to ascalar, in the limit where the scalar field goes to infinity, accompanied by asuitable scaling of the metric. We propose that no scalar potential is presentfor the

We provide a calculation of N-body (N>2) nucleon interactions at shortdistances in holographic QCD. In the Sakai-Sugimoto model of large N_c masslessQCD, N baryons are described by N Yang-Mills instantons in 5 spacetimedimensions. We compute a classical short distance interaction

Using the AKSZ prescription we construct 2D and 3D topological field theoriesassociated to generalized complex manifolds. These models can be thought of as2D and 3D generalizations of A- and B-models. Within the BV framework we showthat the 3D model on

Hints of Integrability Beyond the Planar Limit. (arXiv:0911.0967v1 [hep-th])

The problem of computing the anomalous dimensions of a class of (nearly)half-BPS operators with a large R-charge is reduced to the problem ofdiagonalizing a Cuntz oscillator chain. Due to the large dimension of theoperators we consider, non-planar corrections must be

We investigate the primordial non-Gaussianities from the trispectra inmulti-field inflation models, which can be seen as generalization ofmulti-field $k$-inflation and multi-DBI inflation.

We construct the ghost number 9 three strings vertex for OSFT in the naturalnormal ordering. We find two versions, one with a ghost insertion at z=i and atwist-conjugate one with insertion at z=-i. For this reason we call themmidpoint vertices.

We study general two-dimensional sigma-models which do not possess manifestLorentz invariance. We show how demanding that Lorentz invariance is recoveredas an emergent on-shell symmetry constrains these sigma-models. The resultingactions have an underlying group-theoretic structure and resemble Poisson-LieT-duality invariant actions. We
