Charged Particle-like Branes in ABJM: A Summary
We study the effect of adding lower dimensional brane charges to the 't Hooft
monopole, di-baryon and baryon vertex configurations in AdS_4 x CP^3. We show
that these configurations capture the background fluxes in a way that depends
on the induced charges, requiring additional fundamental strings to cancel the
worldvolume tadpoles. The dynamics reveal that the charges must lie inside some
interval, a situation familiar from the baryon vertex in AdS_5 x S^5 with
charges. For the baryon vertex and the di-baryon the number of fundamental
strings must also lie inside an allowed interval. Some ideas about the
existence of these bounds in relation to the stringy exclusion principle are
given.Comment: 6 pages. Contribution to the proceedings of the XVIth European

Hints of 5d Fixed Point Theories from Non-Abelian T-duality
In this paper we investigate the properties of the putative 5d fixed point
theory that should be dual, through the holographic correspondence, to the new
supersymmetric AdS(6) solution constructed in Lozano et al. This solution is
the result of a non-Abelian T-duality transformation on the known
supersymmetric AdS(6) solution of massive Type IIA. The analysis of the charge
quantization conditions seems to put constraints on the global properties of
the background, which, combined with the information extracted from considering
probe branes, suggests a 2-node quiver candidate for the dual CFT.Comment: v2, typos corrected, comments added, to appear in JHE

Ranking efficient DMUs using cooperative game theory
The problem of ranking Decision Making Units (DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely studied in the literature. Some of the proposed approaches use cooperative game theory as a tool to perform the ranking. In this paper, we use the Shapley value of two different cooperative games in which the players are the efficient DMUs and the characteristic function represents the increase in the discriminant power of DEA contributed by each efficient DMU. The idea is that if the efficient DMUs are not included in the modified reference sample then the efficiency score of some inefficient DMUs would be higher. The characteristic function represents, therefore, the change in the efficiency scores of the inefficient DMUs that occurs when a given coalition of efficient units is dropped from the sample. Alternatively, the characteristic function of the cooperative game can be defined as the change in the efficiency scores of the inefficient DMUs that occurs when a given coalition of efficient DMUs are the only efficient DMUs that are included in the sample. Since the two cooperative games proposed are dual games, their corresponding Shapley value coincide and thus lead to the same ranking. The more an ef- ficient DMU impacts the shape of the efficient frontier, the higher the increase in the efficiency scores of the inefficient DMUs its removal brings about and, hence, the higher its contribution to the overall discriminant power of the method. The proposed approach is illustrated on a number of datasets from the literature and compared with existing methods
Supersymmetric AdS_6 via T-duality
We present a new supersymmetric AdS_6 solution of type IIB supergravity with
SU(2) isometry. Through the AdS/CFT correspondence, this has potentially very
interesting implications for 5d fixed point theories. This solution is the
result of a non-Abelian T-duality on the known supersymmetric AdS_6 solution of
massive IIA. The SU(2) R-symmetry is untouched, leading to sixteen supercharges
and preserved supersymmetry.Comment: 4 pages, published versio
