Abstract

We give simple arguments for new non-renormalization theorems on higher derivative couplings of gauge theories to supergravity, with sixteen supersymmetries, by considerations of brane-bulk superamplitudes. This leads to some exact results on the effective coupling of D3-branes in type IIB string theory. As a result, we also derive exact results on higher dimensional operators in the torus compactification of the six dimensional (0, 2) superconformal theory.

Constraining higher derivative supergravity with scattering amplitudes

Journal Article Wang, Yifan ; Yin, Xi - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We study supersymmetry constraints on higher derivative deformations of type IIB supergravity by consideration of superamplitudes. Thus, combining constraints of on-shell supervertices and basic results from string perturbation theory, we give a simple argument for the non-renormalization theorem of Green and Sethi, and some of its generalizations.

Higher derivative terms, toroidal compactification, and Weyl anomalies in six-dimensional (2, 0) theories

Journal Article Córdova, Clay ; Dumitrescu, Thomas T. ; Yin, Xi - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We systematically analyze the effective action on the moduli space of (2,0) superconformal field theories in six dimensions, as well as their toroidal compactification to maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in five and four dimensions. We present a streamlined approach to non-renormalization theorems that constrain this effective action. The first several orders in its derivative expansion are determined by a one-loop calculation in five-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This fixes the leading higher-derivative operators that describe the renormalization group flow into theories residing at singular points on the moduli space of the compactified (2,0) theories. This understanding allows us to compute the a-typemore »« less

AdS3 Solutions of IIB Supergravity

Journal Article Kim, Nakwoo ; Research Institute of Basic Science, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 130-701 - AIP Conference Proceedings

We consider pure D3-brane configurations of IIB string theory which lead to supergravity solutions containing an AdS3 factor. They can provide new examples of AdS3/CFT2 examples on D3-branes whose worldvolume is partially compactified. When the internal 7 dimensional space is non-compact, they are related to fluctuations of higher dimensional AdS/CFT duality examples, thus dual to the BPS operators of D = 4 superconformal field theories. We find that supersymmetry requires the 7 dimensional space is warped Hopf-fibration of (real) 6 dimensional Kahler manifolds.

Non-perturbative defect one-point functions in planar $N = 4$ super-Yang-Mills

Journal Article Komatsu, Shota ; Wang, Yifan - Nuclear Physics. B

The four dimensional N=4 super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory exhibits rich dynamics in the presence of codimension-one conformal defects. The new structure constants of the extended operator algebra consist of one-point functions of local operators which are nonvanishing due to the defect insertion and carry nontrivial coupling dependence. We study an important class of half-BPS superconformal defects engineered by D5 branes that share three common directions with the D3 branes and involve Nahm pole configurations for the SYM fields on the D3 brane worldvolume. In the planar large Nlimit, we obtain non-perturbative results in the ’t Hooft coupling λfor the defect one-pointmore »« less

Einstein manifolds and conformal field theories

Journal Article Gubser, S S - Physical Review, D

In light of the anti{endash}de Sitter space conformal field theory correspondence, it is natural to try to define a conformal field theory in a large {ital N}, strong coupling limit via a supergravity compactification on the product of an Einstein manifold and anti{endash}de Sitter space. We consider the five-dimensional manifolds T{sup pq} which are coset spaces [SU(2){times}SU(2)]/U(1). The central charge and a part of the chiral spectrum are calculated, respectively, from the volume of T{sup pq} and the spectrum of the scalar Laplacian. Of the manifolds considered, only T{sup 11} admits any supersymmetry: it is this manifold which characterizes themore »« less
