A dynamical collective calculation of supernova neutrino signals
We present the first calculations with three flavors of collective and shock
wave effects for neutrino propagation in core-collapse supernovae using
hydroynamical density profiles and the S matrix formalism. We explore the
interplay between the neutrino-neutrino interaction and the effects of multiple
resonances upon the time signal of positrons in supernova observatories. A
specific signature is found for the inverted hierarchy and a large third
neutrino mixing angle and we predict, in this case, a dearth of lower energy
positrons in Cherenkov detectors midway through the neutrino signal and the
simultaneous revelation of valuable information about the original fluxes. We
show that this feature is also observable with current generation neutrino
detectors at the level of several sigmas.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
On the smoothness of multi-M2 brane horizons
We calculate the degree of horizon smoothness of multi- -brane solution
with branes along a common axis. We find that the metric is generically only
thrice continuously differentiable at any of the horizons. The four-form field
strength is found to be only twice continuously differentiable. We work with
Gaussian null-like co-ordinates which are obtained by solving geodesic
equations for multi- brane geometry. We also find different, exact
co-ordinate transformations which take the metric from isotropic co-ordinates
to co-ordinates in which metric is thrice differentiable at the horizon. Both
methods give the same result that the multi- brane metric is only thrice
continuously differentiable at the horizon.Comment: 24 pages, reference added, modified equation for non-singularity of

On Classification of QCD defects via holography
We discuss classification of defects of various codimensions within a
holographic model of pure Yang-Mills theories or gauge theories with
fundamental matter. We focus on their role below and above the phase transition
point as well as their weights in the partition function. The general result is
that objects which are stable and heavy in one phase are becoming very light
(tensionless) in the other phase. We argue that the dependence of the
partition function drastically changes at the phase transition point, and
therefore it correlates with stability properties of configurations. Some
possible applications for study the QCD vacuum properties above and below phase
transition are also discussed.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figure
Partial supersymmetry breaking and gravity deformed chiral rings
We present a derivation of the chiral ring relations, arising in
gauge theories in the presence of (anti-)self-dual background gravitational
field and graviphoton field strength .
These were previously considered in the literature in order to prove the
relation between gravitational F-terms in the gauge theory and coefficients of
the topological expansion of the related matrix integral. We consider the
spontaneous breaking of to supergravity coupled to
vector- and hyper-multiplets, and take a rigid limit which keeps a non-trivial
and with a finite supersymmetry
breaking scale. We derive the resulting effective, global, theory
and show that the chiral ring relations are just a consequence of the standard
supergravity Bianchi identities . We can also obtain models with
matter in different representations and in particular quiver theories. We also
show that, in the presence of non-trivial , consistency of the
Konishi-anomaly loop equations with the chiral ring relations, demands that the
gauge kinetic function and the superpotential, a priori unrelated for an theory, should be derived from a prepotential, indicating an underlying
structure.Comment: 42 pages, uses JHEP.cls;v2: typos corrected and references adde
AdS Duals of Matrix Strings
We review recent work on the holographic duals of type II and heterotic
matrix string theories described by warped AdS_3 supergravities. In particular,
we compute the spectra of Kaluza-Klein primaries for type I, II supergravities
on warped AdS_3xS^7 and match them with the primary operators in the dual
two-dimensional gauge theories. The presence of non-trivial warp factors and
dilaton profiles requires a modification of the familiar dictionary between
masses and ``scaling'' dimensions of fields and operators. We present these
modifications for the general case of domain wall/QFT correspondences between
supergravities on warped AdS_{d+1}xS^q geometries and super Yang-Mills theories
with 16 supercharges.Comment: 7 pages, Proceedings of the RTN workshop ``The quantum structure of
