Chern Simons duality with a fundamental boson and fermion

Abstract: We compute the thermal free energy for all renormalizable Chern Simon the- ories coupled to a single fundamental bosonic and fermionic field in the 't Hooft large N limit. We use our results to conjecture a strong weak coupling duality invariance for this class of theories. Our conjectured duality reduces to Giveon Kutasov duality when restricted to N = 2 supersymmetric theories and to an earlier conjectured bosonization duality in an appropriate decoupling limit. Consequently the bosonization duality may be regarded as a deformation of Giveon Kutasov duality, suggesting that it is true even at large but finite N.

Observation of a χc2′ candidate in γγ→DD̄ production at belle

Abstract: We report on a search for new resonant states in the process gamma gamma -> D (D) over bar. A candidate C-even charmonium state is observed in the vicinity of 3.93 GeV/c(2). The production rate and the angular distribution in the gamma gamma center-of-mass frame suggest that this state is the previously unobserved chi(')(c2), the 2(3)P(2) charmonium state.

The worldsheet dual of the symmetric product CFT

Abstract: Superstring theory on $$ {\mathrm{AdS}}_3 \times {S}^3\times {\mathbb{T}}^4 $$ with the smallest amount of NS-NS flux (“k = 1”) is shown to be dual to the spacetime CFT given by the large N limit of the free symmetric product orbifold SymN $$ \left({\mathbb{T}}^4\right) $$ . To define the worldsheet theory at k = 1, we employ the hybrid formalism in which the AdS3 × S3 part is described by the $$ \mathfrak{p}\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}{\left(1,1\Big|2\right)}_1 $$ WZW model (which is well defined). Unlike the case for k ≥ 2, it turns out that the string spectrum at k = 1 does not exhibit the long string continuum, and perfectly matches with the large N limit of the symmetric product. We also demonstrate that the fusion rules of the symmetric orbifold are reproduced from the worldsheet perspective. Our proposal therefore affords a tractable worldsheet description of a tensionless limit in string theory, for which the dual CFT is also explicitly known.
