Little strings, long strings, and fuzzballs

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
At high energy densities, fivebranes are populated by a Hagedorn phase of so- called little strings, whose statistical mechanics underlies black fivebrane thermodynamics. A particular limit of this phase yields BTZ black holes in AdS 3, leading us to the

Long string scattering in c = 1 string theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We study the scattering of long strings in c = 1 string theory, both in the worldsheet description and in the non-singlet sector of the dual matrix quantum mechanics. From the worldsheet perspective, the scattering amplitudes of long strings are obtained

The action of long strings in supersymmetric field theories

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Long strings emerge in many Quantum Field Theories, for example as vortices in Abelian Higgs theories, or flux tubes in Yang-Mills theories. The actions of such objects can be expanded in the number of derivatives, around a long straight string solution.

Long strings and chiral primaries in the hybrid formalism

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We revisit two related phenomena in AdS3 string theory backgrounds. At pure NS-NS flux, the spectrum contains a continuum of long strings which can escape to the boundary of AdS3 at a finite cost of energy.

Correlators of long strings on AdS3×S3×T4

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this work, we calculate correlators of long strings on AdS3×S3×T4 with pure NS-NS flux. We first construct physical vertex operators that correspond to long strings. Due to the GSO projection, they depend on the parity of the spectral flow parameter w.

Deriving the long-string CFT in AdS3

Journal of High Energy Physics
We revisit the path integral formulation of bosonic string theory in locally-AdS3 spacetimes. Through a careful analysis of the worldsheet sigma model, we write down an effective theory of long strings living near the boundary of AdS3.

Long strings and quasinormal winding modes

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We compute the path integral for a particle on the covering group of SL(2, ℝ) using a decomposition of the Lie algebra into adjoint orbits. We thus intuitively derive the Hilbert space of the particle on the group including discrete and continuous ...

The scattering amplitude of stringy hadrons: strings with opposite charges on their endpoints

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
In this note we describe hadrons: mesons and baryons as strings with electric charges on their endpoints. We consider here only the neutral system with opposite charges, coupled to an external constant electromagnetic field.

Mass and spin for classical strings in dS3

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We demonstrate that all rigidly rotating strings with center of mass at the origin of the dS3 static patch satisfy the Higuchi bound. This extends the observation of Noumi et al.

On the quantization of folded strings in non-critical dimensions

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Classical rotating closed string are folded strings. At the folding points the scalar curvature associated with the induced metric diverges. As a consequence one cannot properly quantize the fluctuations around the classical solution since there is no ...
