We study type IIA superstring theory on a PP-wave background with 24 supercharges. This model can exactly be solved and then quantized. The open string in this PP-wave background is also studied. We observe that the theory ...

Perturbative corrections to N=1/2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory at one-loop order are studied. It is shown that whereas the quantum corrections to N=1 sector of the theory are not affected by the C-deformation, the ...

We show that in IIB string theory and for D1D5p black holes in ten dimensions the method of entropy function works. Despite the more complicated Wald formula for the entropy of D1D5p black holes in ten dimensions, their ...

Recently a new four-dimensional nonrelativistic renormalizable theory of gravity was

proposed by Hoˇrava. This gravity reduces to Einstein gravity at large distances. In this

paper we present different toroidal ...

We study D-brane dynamics in the gravity dual background of ODp theories using the effective action on the worldvolume of the brane. We explore the similarities of the system with the rolling tachyon, including the exponential ...

We discuss various realizations of the four dimensional braneworld inflation in warped geometries of string theory. In all models the inflaton field is represented by a Dp probe brane scalar specifying its position in the ...

Using { alpha }^3 terms of type IIB supergravity action we study higher order corrections

to the non-relativistic non-extremal D3-brane. Utilizing the corrected solution

we evaluate corrections to temperature, ...

In this paper we continue our analysis of arXiv:1308.1478 and study in detail the parameter space of three families of doubly spinning black ring solutions: balanced black ring, unbalanced ring and dipole-charged balanced ...

We apply the entropy function formalism to non-extremal D1D5 and D2D6NS5-branes whose throat approximation is given by the Schwarzschild black hole in AdS_3\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\times S^3\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\times T^4 and ...

In this paper we compute the holographic two-point functions of four dimensional conformal gravity. Precisely we calculate the two-point functions for Energy- Momentum (EM) and Partially Massless Response (PMR) operators ...
