Superstring cosmology

JE Lidsey, D Wands, EJ Copeland - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
Aspects of superstring cosmology are reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmological
implications of duality symmetries in the theory. The string effective actions are summarized …

Antinucleon–nucleon interaction at low energy: scattering and protonium

E Klempt, F Bradamante, A Martin, JM Richard - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We present nucleon–antinucleon scattering experiments performed at the Low Energy
Antiproton Ring (LEAR) of CERN. The data are reviewed and the underlying physics is …

Snowmass white paper: the double copy and its applications

T Adamo, JJM Carrasco, M Carrillo-González… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The double copy is, in essence, a map between scattering amplitudes in a broad variety of
familiar field and string theories. In addition to the mathematically rich intrinsic structure, it …

Black holes and the butterfly effect

SH Shenker, D Stanford - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly
coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a …

Causality constraints on corrections to the graviton three-point coupling

XO Camanho, JD Edelstein, J Maldacena… - Journal of High Energy …, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We consider higher derivative corrections to the graviton three-point coupling
within a weakly coupled theory of gravity. Lorentz invariance allows further structures …

Strings in flat space and pp waves from 𝒩= 4 Super Yang Mills

D Berenstein, J Maldacena… - Journal of High Energy …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We explain how the string spectrum in flat space and pp-waves arises from the large-N limit,
at fixed g 2 YM, of U (N) Script N= 4 super Yang Mills. We reproduce the spectrum by …

Conformal collider physics: Energy and charge correlations

DM Hofman, J Maldacena - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones
used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the …

Supergravity and the large limit of theories with sixteen supercharges

N Itzhaki, JM Maldacena, J Sonnenschein… - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
We consider field theories with sixteen supersymmetries, which include U (N) Yang-Mills
theories in various dimensions, and argue that their large N limit is related to certain …

Shocks, superconvergence, and a stringy equivalence principle

M Koloğlu, P Kravchuk, D Simmons-Duffin… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study propagation of a probe particle through a series of closely situated
gravitational shocks. We argue that in any UV-complete theory of gravity the result does not …

Celestial mechanics, conformal structures, and gravitational waves

C Duval, G Gibbons, P Horváthy - Physical Review D, 1991 - APS
Newton's equations for the motion of N nonrelativistic point particles attracting according to
the inverse square law may be cast in the form of equations for null geodesics in a (3 N+ 2) …
