We study string gas dynamics in the early universe and seek to realize the Brandenberger - Vafa mechanism - a goal that has eluded earlier works - that singles out three or fewer spatial dimensions as the number which grow large cosmologically. Considering wound string interactions in an impact parameter picture, we show that a strong exponential suppression in the interaction rates for d > 3 spatial dimensions reflects the classical argument that string worldsheets generically intersect in at most four spacetime dimensions. This description is appropriate in the early universe if wound strings are heavy - wrapping long cycles - and diluted. We consider the dynamics of a string gas coupled to dilaton-gravity and find that a) for any number of dimensions the universe generically stays trapped in the Hagedorn regime and b) if the universe fluctuates to a radiation regime any residual winding modes are diluted enough so that they freeze-out in d > 3 large dimensions while they generically annihilate for d = 3. In this sense the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism is operative.

Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $phi^n$ in $lambda(barphiphi)^2$ theory may be computed semiclassically at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-epsilon$, for generic values of $lambda n$, and this was verified to two
loop order in perturbation theory at leading and subleading $n$. This result was subsequently generalised to operators of fixed charge $Q$ in $O(N)$ theory and verified up to four loops in perturbation theory at leading and subleading $Q$. More recently, similar semiclassical calculations have been performed for the classically scale-invariant $U(N)times U(N)$ theory in four dimensions, and verified up to two loops, once again at leading and subleading $Q$. Here we extend this verification to four loops. We also consider the corresponding classically scale-invariant theory in three dimensions, similarly verifying the leading and subleading semiclassical results up to four loops in perturbation theory.
The holographic principle asserts that the entropy of a system cannot exceed its boundary area in Planck units. However, conventional quantum field theory fails to describe such systems. In this Letter, we assume the existence of large $n$ extra dime
nsions and propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs in this case. We find that if $n=2$, this effective field theory could be a good description of holographic systems. If these extra dimensions are detected in future experiments, it will help to prove the validity of the holographic principle. We also discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem.
Three dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant -1/ell^2 deformed by a gravitational Chern-Simons action with coefficient 1/mu is studied in an asymptotically AdS_3 spacetime. It is argued to violate unitary or positivity for g
eneric mu due to negative-energy massive gravitons. However at the critical value muell=1, the massive gravitons disappear and BTZ black holes all have mass and angular momentum related by ell M=J. The corresponding chiral quantum theory of gravity is conjectured to exist and be dual to a purely right-moving boundary CFT with central charges (c_L,c_R)=(0,3ell /G).
In three dimensions, there exist modifications of Einsteins gravity akin to the topologically massive gravity that describe massive gravitons about maximally symmetric backgrounds. These theories are built on the three-dimensional version of the Bach
tensor (a curl of the Cotton-York tensor) and its higher derivative generalizations; and they are on-shell consistent without a Lagrangian description based on the metric tensor alone. We give a generic construction of these models, find the spectra and compute the conserved quantities for the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole.
We investigate the structure of certain protected operator algebras that arise in three-dimensional N=4 superconformal field theories. We find that these algebras can be understood as a quantization of (either of) the half-BPS chiral ring(s). An impo
rtant feature of this quantization is that it has a preferred basis in which the structure constants of the quantum algebra are equal to the OPE coefficients of the underlying superconformal theory. We identify several nontrivial conditions that the quantum algebra must satisfy in this basis. We consider examples of theories for which the moduli space of vacua is either the minimal nilpotent orbit of a simple Lie algebra or a Kleinian singularity. For minimal nilpotent orbits, the quantum algebras (and their preferred bases) can be uniquely determined. These algebras are related to higher spin algebras. For Kleinian singularities the algebras can be characterized abstractly - they are spherical subalgebras of symplectic reflection algebras - but the preferred basis is not easily determined. We find evidence in these examples that for a given choice of quantum algebra (defined up to a certain gauge equivalence), there is at most one choice of canonical basis. We conjecture that this is the case for general N=4 SCFTs.
