Universal Subleading Spectrum of Effective String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyse the spectrum of the D-dimensional Poincaré invariant effective string model of Polchinski and Strominger. It is shown that the leading terms beyond the Casimir term in the long distance expansion of the spectrum have a universal character which follows from the constraint of Poincaré invariance.

Subleading Contributions from Instanton Corrections in N = 2 Supersymmetric Black Hole Entropy
We present subleading corrections to the N = 2 supersymmetric black hole entropy. These subleading contributions correspond to instanton corrections of the Type II string theory. In particular we consider an axion free black hole solution of low-energy effective Type II string theory. We present a procedure to include successiv all instanton corrections. Expanding these corrections at particula...
متن کاملSubleading Corrections and Central Charges in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We explore subleading contributions to the two basic central charges c and a of four-dimensional conformal field theories in the AdS/CFT scheme. In particular we probe subleading corrections to the difference c− a from the string-theory side. In the N = 4 CFT, c− a vanish identically consistently with the string-theory expectations. However, for N = 1 and N = 2 CFTs, the UR(1) anomaly, which is...

It is shown, by explicit calculation, that the third-order terms in inverse string length in the spectrum of the effective string theories of Polchinski and Strominger are also the same as in Nambu-Goto theory, in addition to the universal Lüscher terms. While the Nambu-Goto theory is inconsistent outside the critical dimension, the PolchinskiStrominger theory is by construction consistent for ...
متن کاملSome Universal Features of the Effective String Picture of Pure Gauge Theories
The effective string describing the large distance behaviour of the quark sources of gauge field theories in the confining phase in D=3 or D=4 space-time dimensions can be formulated as a suitable 2D conformal field theory on surfaces with quark loops as boundaries. Some universal relations among the string tension , the thickness of the colour flux tube , the deconfinement temperature and a lo...
متن کاملSubleading Light - cone distributions functions in the decays Λ b → X s γ and Λ b →
In this paper we investigate the subleading twist corrections to the photon energy spectrum in the decay Λb → Xsγ and to the lepton energy spectrum in Λb → Xulν̄l. As a first step we rederive the matching coefficients of the subleading twist using a much simpler method. Parametrizing the matrix elements for Λb and using reparametrization invariance, we show that the energy spectra close to the e...
