abstract

We consider certain supersymmetric configurations of intersecting branes and branes ending on branes and analyze the duality between their open and closed string interpretation. The examples we study are chosen such that we have the lower dimensional brane realizing an n+1 dimensional conformal field theory on its worldvolume and the higher dimensional one introducing a conformal boundary. We also consider two CFTs, possibly with different central charges, interacting along a common conformal boundary. We show with a probe calculation that the dual closed string description is in terms of gravity in an AdS_{n+2} bulk with an AdS_{n+1} defect or two different AdS_{n+2} spaces joined along a defect. We also comment briefly on the expected back-reaction.

Strongly Coupled Sectors in Inflation: Gapped Theories of Unparticles

hep-th · 2025-12-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Compactified 5D unparticle theories generate gapped excitations whose exchange in inflationary correlators yields oscillations modulated by anomalous dimensions and possible interference patterns under brane-localized interactions.

Holographic interpolations of defect CFTs

hep-th · 2025-12-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A D5-D7 brane configuration in AdS5 x S5 provides an interpolating holographic dual for defect CFTs, with anomaly cancellation and a conjectured SYM solution.

hep-th · 2025-12-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

3d gravity on Σ_{g,n} × I with EOW branes equals the Virasoro minimal string random matrix model, with exact match for g=0 n=2 and inner-product formulation for negative Euler characteristic.

Quantum Bit Threads and the Entropohedron

hep-th · 2025-10-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives several new quantum bit thread prescriptions equivalent to quantum extremal surfaces for static holographic states and introduces entanglement distribution functions organized into the entropohedron convex polytope.

Quantum corrected black hole microstates and entropy

hep-th · 2025-09-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In a doubly holographic black hole model, the dimension of the microstate Hilbert space equals the sum of the quantum-corrected thermodynamic entropies of the left and right black holes, which equals the generalised entropy quantifying entanglement between the asymptotic boundaries.
