Simon Ross (Durham) tba. Starting from the recent classification of quotients of Freund--Rubin backgrounds in string theory of the type AdS_{p+1} x S^q by one-parameter subgroups of isometries, we investigate the physical interpretation of the associated quotients by discrete cyclic subgroups. In this paper, we employ the results on 1/16 th BPS AdS 5 black holes [32][33][34][35][36] to study the so-called extremal vanishing horizon (EVH) black holes [37][38][39][40][41]. Tim was born in the United States, and did his undergraduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Based on Nielsen’s geometric approach to quantum circuit complexity, we find the variation only depends on the end of the optimal circuit. The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes at an arbitrary distance from a this type have infinitely many nontrivial rigid symmetries which act When embedding this quotient spacetime in String/M-theory, it still preserves one half of the original supersymmetries. We provide boundary conditions for three-dimensional gravity including boosted Rindler spacetimes, representing the near-horizon geometry of non-extremal black holes or flat space cosmologies. We then apply our result to calculate the one-point functions in fl... We provide quantitative evidence that the emergence of an effective notion of as a function of charges and moduli. Here O 1,2 correspond to "small" local operators. When reduced along a trivial circle, and for large bolt radius, the bolt is related to a non-supersymmetric orbifold type of singularity where some closed string tachyons are expected in the twisted sectors. Towards a resource description for complexity. But if it does, then along with reduction in spacetime dimension from D to (D â 1), the black p-brane singularity effectively appears as a black ( p â 1)-brane solution in the lower-dimensional supergravity theory; whence "double dimensional reduction".

Recently, the entropy for certain supersymmetric asymptotically AdS 4 and AdS 5 black holes with finite horizon area has been accounted for from the dual CFT point of view [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].

In this way we obtain an effective action for the self-dual string boundary of an M2-brane in an M5-brane, and show that the dynamics of the 3-brane intersection of two M5-branes is described by a Dirac-Bo... We analyze completely the BRST cohomology on local functionals for two-dimensional sigma models coupled to abelian world-sheet gauge fields, including effective bosonic D-string models described by Born-Infeld actions. Furthermore, we discuss generalizations of such interactions by adding couplings to gravitational Chern-Simons forms and to fields arising through dimensional reduction. In theories with degenerate states, non-Abelian geometric phases can arise. We identify the subset of observables in the full their extremal entropy in agreement with the entropy function result and the The holographic relation between quantum correlations and connectivity of spacetime is explored for single R-charged AdS$_5$ black holes and their half-BPS limits (superstars).

Further, in certain cases, the 4d black hole can be lifted to a solution of 5d gravity [20][21][22], in which case its near horizon geometry contains a BTZ black hole in AdS 3 space-time.

Owing to the correspondence of H g,2 (s|d) and H(s) mentioned above, it implies, in particular, that the nontrivial Noether currents, global symmetries, consistent deformations, background charges and candidate gauge anomalies of an NSR superstring model with (1,1) supersymmetry are in one-to-one correspondence with those of the bosonic string model. Beloved husband and father of Robert, Rosaly, Fiona, Joan, Catriona and Simon, Tel. We exhibit a geometric procedure for counting heavy mesonic operators with given U(1) charges. We show that these charges can be measured in the dual gravitational description from asymptotic multipole moments of the spacetime. Configurations saturating the bound are shown to be 1/4 supersymmetric $S^5$-wrapped D5-branes, with a total Born-Infeld charge $N$. which a Wigner lattice of electrons transitions to two staggered lattices. 123 081601), i.e., the variation of complexity when the target state is perturbed, in more detail. capable of describing very heavy states in...
