    • Central Charge for \(AdS_2\) Quantum Gravity 

      Hartman, Thomas; Strominger, Andrew E. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      Two-dimensional Maxwell-dilaton quantum gravity on \(AdS_2\) with radius \(\ell\) and a constant electric field \(E\) is studied. In conformal gauge, this is equivalent to a CFT on a strip. In order to maintain consistent ...

    • On Non-Handlebody Instantons in 3D Gravity 

      Yin, Xi (Springer Verlag, 2008)
      In this note we describe the contribution from non-handlebody geometries to the partition function of three-dimensional pure gravity with negative cosmological constant on a Riemann surface of genus greater than one, ...

    • One-loop Partition Functions of 3D Gravity 

      Giombi, Simone; Maloney, Alexander; Yin, Xi (Springer Verlag, 2008)
      We consider the one-loop partition function of free quantum field theory in locally Anti-de Sitter space-times. In three dimensions, the one loop determinants for scalar, gauge and graviton excitations are computed explicitly ...

    • Spin Chains in \(\mathcal{N}\)=6 Superconformal Chern-Simons-Matter Theory 

      Gaiotto, Davide; Giombi, Simone; Yin, Xi (Springer Verlag, 2009)
      In this note we study spin chain operators in the \(\mathcal{N}\)=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory recently proposed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena to be dual to type IIA string theory in \(AdS_4\) x \(\mathbb{CP}^3\). ...
