All high-temperature phases of the known N=4 superstrings in five dimensions can be described by the universal thermal potential of an effective four-dimensional supergravity. This theory, in addition to three moduli s, t, u, contains…
Recently a BPS Alice string has been found in a $U(1)\times SU(2)$ gauge theory coupled with a charged complex adjoint scalar field arXiv:1703.08971. It is a half BPS state preserving a half of supercharges when embedded into a…
In hep-th/0409174, Lin, Lunin and Maldacena constructed a set of regular 1/2 BPS geometries in IIB theory. These remarkable `bubbling AdS' geometries have a natural interpretation as duals of chiral primary operators with weight Delta=J in…
We found BPS-saturated solutions of M-theory and Type II string theory which correspond to (non-marginally) bound states of p-branes intersecting at angles different from pi/2. These solutions are obtained by starting with a BPS marginally…
We deepen and refine the classification of supersymmetric solutions to N=2, D=4 gauged supergravity obtained in a previous paper. In the case where the Killing vector constructed from the Killing spinor is timelike, it is shown that the…
The IIB matrix model has been suggested as a particular formulation of nonperturbative superstring theory (M-theory). It has now been realized that an emerging classical spacetime may reside in its large-$N$ master field. This bosonic…
A state saturating a BPS bound derived from a supersymmetry algebra preserves some fraction of the supersymmetry. This fraction of supersymmetry depends on the charges carried by the system, and we show that in general there are…
In this paper we continue analysis of the Matrix theory describing the DLCQ of type IIB string theory on AdS_5 x S^5 (and/or the plane-wave) background, i.e. the Tiny Graviton Matrix Theory (TGMT)[hep-th/0406214]. We study and classify 1/2,…
We study a realization of accidental supersymmetry in type IIB string theory as a proof-of-principle of the mechanism and as a prototype of the strong sector present in resurgent supersymmetry, a warped UV-completion of natural…
The recent discovery of non-perturbatively stable two-dimensional string backgrounds and their dual matrix models allows the study of complete scattering matrices in string theory. In this note we adapt work of Moore, Plesser, and Ramgoolam…
Certain type II string non-threshold BPS bound states are shown to be related to non-static backgrounds in 11-dimensional theory. The 11-d counterpart of the bound state of NS-NS and R-R type IIB strings wound around a circle is a pure…
It was recently proposed that there exist stable supersymmetric phases for finite temperature superstings. This issue was investigated using an effective supergravity which takes into account massive winding modes. Such a theory admits BPS…
We discuss BPS states preserving 1/4 supersymmetries of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as M2-branes holomorphically embedded and ending on M5-branes. We use techniques in electrodynamics to find the M2-brane configurations, and give…
The IKKT matrix model was proposed to be a non-perturbative formulation of type IIB superstring theory. One of its important consistency criteria is that the leading one-loop $1/r^8$ effective interaction between a cluster of type IIB…
We review the evidence for the various dualities amongst the five D=10 superstring theories and for the existence of M-theory using the associated effective supergravity theories. We also summarise the combinatorial technics developed for…
The modular invariant coefficient of the D^{2k} {\cal{R}}^4 term in the effective action of type IIB superstring theory is expected to satisfy Poisson equation on the fundamental domain of SL(2,Z). Under certain assumptions, we obtain the…
We study rigidly rotating and pulsating strings in the background of a 1+1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory by using the Neumann-Rosochatius (NR) model. Starting with the Polyakov…
Matrix string theory (or more generally U-Duality) requires Super Yang-Mills theory to reflect a stringy degeneracy of BPS short multiplets. These are found as supersymmetric states in the Yang-Mills carrying (fractionated) momentum, or in…
We study a class of exact supersymmetric solutions of type IIB Supergravity. They have an SO(4) x SU(2) x U(1) isometry and preserve generically 4 of the 32 supersymmetries of the theory. Asymptotically AdS_5 x S^5 solutions in this class…
