چکیده

There has been spectacular progress in the development of string and su-perstring theories since its inception thirty years ago. Development in this area has never been impeded by the lack of experimental confirmation. Indeed , numerous bold and imaginative strides have been taken and the sheer elegance and logical consistency of the arguments have served as a primary motivation for string theorists to push their formulations ahead. In fact the development in this area has been so rapid that new ideas quickly become obsolete. On the other hand, this rapid development has proved to be the greatest hindrance for novices interested in this area. These notes serve as a gentle introduction to this topic. In these elementary notes, we briefly review the RNS formulation of superstring theory, GSO projection, D-branes, bosonic strings, dualities, dynamics of D-branes and the microscopic description of Bekenstein entropy of a black hole.

ar X iv : h ep - t h / 00 02 10 9 v 1 1 4 Fe b 20 00 The 3 + 1 - dimensional analogue of the Virasoro algebra

The manifest expression for a (Virasoro-like) infinite-dimensional generalization of the 3 + 1-dimensional conformal algebra so(4, 2) is presented in this letter. It provides the arena for integrable models of Anti-de Sitter and conformal gauge theories of higher-generalized-spin fields in realistic dimensions.

If TeV-scale gravity describes nature, black holes will be produced in particle accelerators, perhaps even with impressive rates at the Large Hadron Collider. Their decays, largely via the Hawking process, will be spectacular. Black holes also would be produced in cosmic ray collisions with our atmosphere, and their showers may be observable. Such a scenario means the end of our quest to unders...

We (numerically) construct new static, asymptotically AdS solutions where the conformal infinity is the product of time and S2 × S1. There always exist a family of solutions in which the S1 is not contractible and, for small S1, there are two additional families of solutions in which the S1 smoothly pinches off. This shows that (when fermions are antiperiodic around the S1) there is a quantum p...

BTZ black hole is interpreted as exact solution of 3d higher spin gauge theory. Solutions for free massless fields in BTZ black hole background are constructed with the help of the star-product algebra formalism underlying the formulation of 3d higher spin theory. It is shown that a part of higher spin symmetries remains unbroken for special values of the BTZ parameters.

We examine various aspects of the conjectured duality between warped AdS5 geometries with boundary branes and strongly coupled (broken) conformal field theories coupled to dynamical gravity. We also examine compactifications with 5-d gauge fields, in which case the holographic dual is a broken CFT weakly coupled to dynamical gauge fields in addition to gravity. The holographic picture is used t...
