Policymakers, researchers, and practitioners discuss the role of central counterparties
This article summarizes a conference, titled “Issues Related to Central Counterparty Clearing,” cosponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the European Central Bank on April 3–4, 2006. The conference brought together industry executives, policymakers, and research economists to evaluate current public policy issues involving central counterparties.Banks and banking, Central ; Risk management ; Clearinghouses (Banking)
Non-Commutative Yang-Mills and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We study the non-commutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at strong
coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The supergravity description and the
UV/IR relation confirms the expectation that the non-commutativity affects the
ultra-violet but not the infra-red of the Yang-Mills dynamics. We show that the
supergravity solution dual to the non-commutative N=4 SYM in four dimensions
has no boundary and defines a minimal scale. We also show that the relation
between the B field and the scale of non-commutativity is corrected at large
coupling and determine its dependence on the 't Hooft coupling \lambda.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure, References and comments added, typos correcte
Two-dimensional dilaton gravity in a unitary gauge
Reduced phase space formulation of CGHS model of 2d dilaton gravity is
studied in en extrinsic time gauge. The corresponding Hamiltonian can be
promoted into a Hermitian operator acting in the physical Hilbert space,
implying a unitary evolution for the system. Consequences for the black hole
physics are discussed. In particular, this manifestly unitary theory rules out
the Hawking scenario for the endpoint of the black hole evaporation process.Comment: 12 pages, LaTex file, Imperial-TP/92-93/8 and QMW/PH/92/1
A Note on Effective Lagrangians in Matrix Theory
We study the relation between the effective Lagrangian in Matrix Theory and
eleven dimensional supergravity. In particular, we provide a relationship
between supergravity operators and the corresponding terms in the
post-Newtonian approximation of Matrix Theory.Comment: 7 pages, use harvmac. References adde
Flux Stabilization of D-branes in NSNS Melvin Background
In this paper we reexamine the D-brane spectrum in the Melvin background with
nonconstant NSNS B-field from the viewpoint of its world-volume and string
world-sheet theory. We find that the stable D2-D0 bound state exists even
though it does not wrap any nontrivial cycles. We show that this system is
stabilized by the presence of the NSNS B-field and the magnetic flux F.
Moreover from the non-abelian world-volume theory of D0-branes the bound state
is regarded as a system of D0-branes expanding into a fuzzy torus.Comment: Latex, 13 pages, 1 figure, references added and minor

A Note on the Transverse Five-Brane in M(atrix) Theory
We describe a way to compute scattering amplitudes in M(atrix) quantum
mechanics, that involve the transverse five-brane. We then compute certain
scattering processes and show that they have the expected SO(5) invariance,
give the correct transverse-five-brane mass, and agree with the supergravity
result.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, final version to appear in PL
Scattering of zero branes off elementary strings in Matrix Theory
We consider the scattering of zero branes off an elementary string in Matrix
theory or equivalently gravitons off a longitudinally wrapped membrane. The
leading supergravity result is recovered by a one-loop calculation in zero
brane quantum mechanics.
Simple scaling arguments are used to show that there are no further
corrections at higher loops, to the leading term in the large impact parameter,
low velocity expansion. The mechanism for this agreement is identified in terms
of properties of a recently discovered boundary conformal field theory.Comment: 16 pages (harvmac big), 2 figures, references adde
