نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate that any scale-invariant mechanics of one variable exhibits not only 0+1 conformal symmetry, but also the symmetries of a full Virasoro algebra. We discuss the implications for the adS/CFT correspondence.

We show that the decay spectrum of massive excitations in perturbative string theories is thermal when averaged over the (many) initial degenerate states. We first compute the inclusive photon spectrum for open strings at the tree level showing that a black body spectrum with the Hagedorn temperature emerges in the averaging. A similar calculation for a massive closed string state with winding ...

M/string theory on noncompact, negatively curved, cosets which generalize AdSD+1 = SO(D, 2)/SO(D, 1) is considered. Holographic descriptions in terms of a conformal field theory on the boundary of the spacetime are proposed. Examples include SU(2, 1)/U(2), which is a Euclidean signature (4, 0) space with no supersymmetry, and SO(2, 2)/SO(2) and SO(3, 2)/SO(3), which are Lorentzian signature (4,...

Abstract. SU(N) Yang-Mills integrals form a new class of matrix models which, in their maximally supersymmetric version, are relevant to recent non-perturbative definitions of 10-dimensional IIB superstring theory and 11-dimensional M-theory. We demonstrate how Monte Carlo methods may be used to establish important properties of these models. In particular we consider the partition functions as...
