A note on dual giant gravitons in AdS4×CP3AdS_{4}\times \mathbb{CP}^{3}

We study some of the properties of dual giant gravitons - D2-branes wrapped on an $S^{2}\subset AdS_{4}$ - in type IIA string theory on $AdS_{4}\times \mathbb{CP}^{3}$. In particular we confirm that the spectrum of small fluctuations about the giant is both real and independent of the size of the graviton. We also extend previously developed techniques for attaching open strings to giants to this D2-brane giant and focus on two particular limits of the resulting string sigma model: In the pp-wave limit we quantize the string and compute the spectrum of bosonic excitations while in the semiclassical limit, we read off the fast string Polyakov action and comment on the comparison to the Landau-Lifshitz action for the dual open spin chain.Comment: v3 significantly changed: added coupling to RR 1-form and turned on worldvolume gauge field, computed gauge field fluctuation, added comments on closure of the sl(2) sector and re-written to improve clarity.

Emergence of the fuzzy horizon through gravitational collapse

For a large enough Schwarzschild black hole, the horizon is a region of space where gravitational forces are weak; yet it is also a region leading to numerous puzzles connected to stringy physics. In this work, we analyze the process of gravitational collapse and black hole formation in the context of light-cone M theory. We find that, as a shell of matter contracts and is about to reveal a black hole horizon, it undergoes a thermodynamic phase transition. This involves the binding of D0 branes into D2's, and the new phase leads to large membranes of the size of the horizon. These in turn can sustain their large size through back-reaction and the dielectric Myers effect - realizing the fuzzball proposal of Mathur and the Matrix black hole of M(atrix) theory. The physics responsible for this phenomenon lies in strongly coupled 2+1 dimensional non-commutative dynamics. The phenomenon has a universal character and appears generic.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures; v2: minor clarifications, citations adde

Towards a Realization of the Condensed-Matter/Gravity Correspondence in String Theory via Consistent Abelian Truncation

We present an embedding of the 3-dimensional relativistic Landau-Ginzburg model for condensed matter systems in an $\mathcal{N}=6$, $U(N)\times U(N)$ Chern-Simons-matter theory (the ABJM model) by consistently truncating the latter to an abelian effective field theory encoding the collective dynamics of ${\cal O}(N)$ of the ${\cal O}(N^2)$ modes. In fact, depending on the VEV on one of the ABJM scalars, a mass deformation parameter $\mu$ and the Chern-Simons level number $k$, our abelianization prescription allows us to interpolate between the abelian Higgs model with its usual multi-vortex solutions and a $\phi^4$ theory. We sketch a simple condensed matter model that reproduces all the salient features of the abelianization. In this context, the abelianization can be interpreted as giving a dimensional reduction from four dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, revtex; reference added, typo corrected; added clarifying paragraphs at end of introduction and on pages 3-4.

Improved Performance of Four Switch Three Phase with SEPIC-Based Inverter

The proposed novel four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter is to design to reduce the rate, difficulty, mass, and switching losses of the DC-AC conversion system. Here the output line voltage cannot exceed half the input voltage in the out-dated FSTP inverter and it operates at half the DC input voltage. Single-Ended Primary-Inductance Converter (SEPIC) is a novel design for the FSTP inverter proposed in this paper. In this proposed topology the necessity of output filters is not necessary for the pure sinusoidal output voltage. Related to out-dated FSTP inverter, the proposed FSTP SEPIC inverter raises the voltage utilization aspect of the input DC supply, where the suggested topology delivers the higher output line voltage which can be extended up to the full value of the DC input voltage. In the proposed topology a control used called the integral sliding-mode (ISM) control and this control is used to enhance its dynamics and to ensure strength of the system during different operating conditions. Simulation model and results are used to authorise the proposed concept and simulations results show the effectiveness of the proposed inverter

Quantifying selection in immune receptor repertoires

The efficient recognition of pathogens by the adaptive immune system relies on the diversity of receptors displayed at the surface of immune cells. T-cell receptor diversity results from an initial random DNA editing process, called VDJ recombination, followed by functional selection of cells according to the interaction of their surface receptors with self and foreign antigenic peptides. To quantify the effect of selection on the highly variable elements of the receptor, we apply a probabilistic maximum likelihood approach to the analysis of high-throughput sequence data from the $\beta$-chain of human T-cell receptors. We quantify selection factors for V and J gene choice, and for the length and amino-acid composition of the variable region. Our approach is necessary to disentangle the effects of selection from biases inherent in the recombination process. Inferred selection factors differ little between donors, or between naive and memory repertoires. The number of sequences shared between donors is well-predicted by the model, indicating a purely stochastic origin of such "public" sequences. We find a significant correlation between biases induced by VDJ recombination and our inferred selection factors, together with a reduction of diversity during selection. Both effects suggest that natural selection acting on the recombination process has anticipated the selection pressures experienced during somatic evolution
