Supersymmetric deformations of F1-NS5-branes and their exact CFT description
We consider certain classes of operators in the exact conformal field theory
SL(2,R) x SU(2) x U(1)^4 describing strings in an AdS(3) x S(3) x T4 geometry
supported by Neveu--Schwarz 3-form fluxes. This background arises in the
near-horizon limit of a system of NS5-branes wrapped on a 4-torus and F1-branes
smeared on the 4-torus when both types of branes are located at the same point
in their common transverse space. We find a class of operators that lead to
spacetime supersymmetric deformations. It is remarkable that most of these
operators are not chiral primary with respect to the N=2 superconformal algebra
on the wordsheet. A subset of these worldsheet conformal field theory
deformations admits an interpretation either as a geometric deformation of the
brane system or as a deformation of the distribution of the F1-branes, viewed
as smooth instantons, inside the wrapped NS5-brane worldvolume. The
2-dimensional conformal field theory, however, seems to lack operators
corresponding to arbitrary NS5-brane deformations, in contrast to pure
NS5-brane systems where all geometric deformations can be accounted for by
chiral primary operators.Comment: 30+1 pages, 1 table; v2 minor changes, version to appear in JHE

The modification of the energy spectrum of charged particles by exotic open 4-smoothness via superstring theory
In this paper we present a model where the modified Landau-like levels of
charged particles in a magnetic field are determined due to the modified
smoothness of as underlying structure of the Minkowski
spacetime. Then the standard smoothness of is shifted to the
exotic , , . This is achieved by
superstring theory using gravitational backreaction induced from a strong,
almost constant magnetic field on standard . The exact string
background containing flat is replaced consistently by the
curved geometry of as part of the modified exact
backgrounds. This corresponds to the change of smoothness on
from the standard to some exotic . The
calculations of the spectra are using the CFT marginal deformations and
Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models. The marginal deformations capture the effects
of the magnetic field as well as its gravitational backreactions. The spectra
depend on even level of WZW on SU(2). At the same time the WZ term as
element of determines also the exotic smooth
. As the consequence we obtain a non-zero mass-gap emerges
in the spectrum induced from the presence of an exotic .Comment: 11 pages, Revtex4-1, will appear IJGMMP Vol. 50(1), 201
Symplectic structure of N=1 supergravity with anomalies and Chern-Simons terms
The general actions of matter-coupled N=1 supergravity have Peccei-Quinn
terms that may violate gauge and supersymmetry invariance. In addition, N=1
supergravity with vector multiplets may also contain generalized Chern-Simons
terms. These have often been neglected in the literature despite their
importance for gauge and supersymmetry invariance. We clarify the interplay of
Peccei-Quinn terms, generalized Chern-Simons terms and quantum anomalies in the
context of N=1 supergravity and exhibit conditions that have to be satisfied
for their mutual consistency. This extension of the previously known N=1
matter-coupled supergravity actions follows naturally from the embedding of the
gauge group into the group of symplectic duality transformations. Our results
regarding this extension provide the supersymmetric framework for studies of
string compactifications with axionic shift symmetries, generalized
Chern-Simons terms and quantum anomalies.Comment: 27 pages; v2: typos corrected; version to be published in

Supersymmetric AdS_5 solutions of M-theory
We analyse the most general supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity
consisting of a warped product of five-dimensional anti-de-Sitter space with a
six-dimensional Riemannian space M_6, with four-form flux on M_6. We show that
M_6 is partly specified by a one-parameter family of four-dimensional Kahler
metrics. We find a large family of new explicit regular solutions where M_6 is
a compact, complex manifold which is topologically a two-sphere bundle over a
four-dimensional base, where the latter is either (i) Kahler-Einstein with
positive curvature, or (ii) a product of two constant-curvature Riemann
surfaces. After dimensional reduction and T-duality, some solutions in the
second class are related to a new family of Sasaki-Einstein spaces which
includes T^{1,1}/Z_2. Our general analysis also covers warped products of
five-dimensional Minkowski space with a six-dimensional Riemannian space.Comment: 40 pages. v2: minor changes, eqs. (2.22) and (D.12) correcte

Supersymmetric moduli of the SU(2) × linear dilaton background and NS5-branes
We study several classes of marginal deformations of the conformal field theory SU(2) x R. This theory describes the near-horizon region of a stack of parallel and coincident NS5-branes and is related holographically to little string theory. We investigate the supersymmetry properties of these deformations and we elucidate their role in the context of holography. The conformal field theory moduli space contains "non-holographic" operators that do not seem to have a simple interpretation in little string theory. Subsequently, we analyze several NS5-brane configurations in terms of SU(2) x R deformations. We discuss in detail interesting phenomena, like the excision of the strong coupling region associated with the linear dilaton and the manifestation of the symmetries of an NS5-brane setup in the deforming operators. Finally, we present a class of conformally hyperkaehler geometries that arise as "non-holographic" deformations of SU(2) x R
