Constraining ADD black holes at the LHC with $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV

We explore microscopic black holes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the context of the ADD model for the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 14~\mathrm{TeV}$ at an integrated luminosity of $349.4~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and provide constraints on the black hole mass, $M_{\mathrm{B}}$ by taking into account the effects of loss during the formation process of black holes through the parameter $\zeta$. Our analysis reveals that for $\zeta = 0$, black holes with $M_{\mathrm{B}} \leq 11.83~\mathrm{TeV}$ are disfavored in the case of three extra dimensions ($\mathcal{D}$), for the reduced Planck scale ($\Lambda_{\mathcal{D}}$) of about a TeV. The corresponding values for $\Lambda_{\mathcal{D}} = 9~\mathrm{TeV}$ turned out to be about $10.33~\mathrm{TeV}$. A significant reduction in the aforementioned limits is observed while the loss gets higher, e.g. for $\zeta = 0.35$, $M_{\mathrm{B}}$ reduces to $7.65 (6.82)~\mathrm{TeV}$ at $\Lambda_{\mathcal{D}} = 1 (9)~\mathrm{TeV}$. These limits change to $12.03 ~(10.88)~\mathrm{TeV}$ and $7.80~ (7.03)~\mathrm{TeV}$ respectively for $\zeta = 0~(0.35)$ for $\Lambda_{\mathcal{D}} = 1 (9)~\mathrm{TeV}$ at 95\% C.L. in case $\mathcal{D}$ is raised to seven.

Harmonic Superspace for Ali-Ilahi's ADHM Instanton Sigma Model

ADHM Yang-Mills instantons are extended field theoretical objects. These are more general than the more familiar 't Hooft Yang-Mills instantons. Their counter parts exist in string theory in terms of sigma models. Nearly three decades ago Witten constructed a (0,4) supersymmetric linear sigma model incorporating ADHM instantons. Witten's construction was in component form. Galperin and Sokatchev constructed the corresponding off-shell supersymmetric version using the harmonic superspace. Recently Ali and Ilahi constructed an ADHM instanton linear sigma model that is complementary, in the sense of being dual, to the original model constructed by Witten. Full (0,4) supersymmetric off-shell harmonic superspace formalism for Ali-Ilahi's complementary ADHM instanton sigma model is developed in this note.

Off-shell Formalism for Ali-Ilahi's ADHM Instanton Sigma Model

In this brief note we present the off-shell superspace formalism for Ali-Ilahi's $(0, 4)$ supersymmetric ADHM instanton linear sigma model in harmonic superspace. Ali-Ilahi's model is dual to the $(0, 4)$ supersymmetric ADHM instanton linear sigma model constructed by Witten in 1995.

Symmetry Structure of ADHM Sigma Models and $AdS_3$ Superstrings

We clarify the supersymmetry structure of ADHM instanton linear sigma models, $N=4$ superconformal algebras and superconformal field theories dual to superstrings moving in $AdS_3$ backgrounds in view of some of our recent findings in various investigations. First of all we collect information about the (0, 4) supersymmetries of Witten's original, Ali-Ilahi's complementary and Ali-Salih's complete ADHM instanton linear sigma models. Then we collect information about large, small and middle $N=4$ superconformal algebras and summarize their interrelations with the ADHM instanton linear sigma models. We then argue that the former, that is the supersymmetry of the ADHM instanton linear sigma models, flows to latter, that is the small, middle and large $N=4$ superconformal symmetries, in the infrared limit. Finally we summarize the mapping of these $N=4$ superconformal symmetries onto the superconformal symmetries dual to superstrings moving on $AdS_3\times S^3\times {\mathcal M}^4$ backgrounds with ${\mathcal M}^=K3, T^4$ and $S^3\times S^1$.

$Z_2$ Symmetry of $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ Superstrings

We discuss the importance of $Z_2$ symmetry of large $N=4$ superconformal algebra for finding its free field realization that is more complete than the most commonly used one, that is, the Sevrin, Troost and van Proeyen realization. This in turn has implications for the search of a conformal field theory dual to superstrings moving in $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times S^3 \times S^1$ background.

Superalgebra Doubling in $AdS_3$ Superstrings

We propose a solution to the mystery of superalgebra doubling found by Giveon-Kutasov-Seiberg in their construction of worldsheet approach to spacetime superconformal symmetry for $AdS_3$ superstrings in the context of $AdS_3$/$CFT_2$ Correspondence.

Quantization of Complementary ADHM Sigma Model

We discuss quantization of complementary ADHM sigma model in parallel with the quantization of the Witten's original ADHM sigma model by Lambert. The mechanisms of divergence cancellation in two models are different from each other.

Complete ADHM Sigma Model

The field theoretic ADHM instantons have stringy generalizations as linear sigma models. These were constructed by Witten in 1995. Recently Ali and Ilahi constructed a complementary version related to Witten's construction by a duality. In this note we generalize these to a complete ADHM instanton linear sigma model, as suggested by Witten, in which above duality is promoted to a $Z_2$ symmetry.

Complementary ADHM Instanton Sigma Model

We construct the ADHM linear sigma model that is complementary to a model constructed by Edward Witten in 1995. Analysis of the corresponding moduli space leads to the resolution of a nearly three decade old mystery associated with the original construction. A number of problems are listed on which this construction has a bearing.

Conformal symmetry of superstrings on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ and D1/D5 system

Conformal field theory of the D1/D5 system and superstrings on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ is studied with particular attention to the world-sheet fields corresponding to the $T^4$ part. A solution to the spacetime N=4 superconformal symmetry doubling and other problems is proposed. It is argued that the relevant spacetime symmetry should be based on the middle N=4 superconformal algebra. It is discussed as to why this superconformal structure has been missed so far.

Classification of Two Dimensional N=4 Superconformal Symmetries

Classification of N=4 superconformal symmetries in two dimensions is re-examined. It is proposed that apart from SU(2) and $SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ their Kac-Moody symmetry can also be $SU(2)\times(U(1))^4$. These superconformal symmetries and corresponding algebras are named small, large and middle ones respectively. Operator product expansions for the middle algebra are derived. Complete free field realizations of large and middle superconformal symmetries are obtained.

Duality Invariant Superstring Actions

Worldsheet supersymmetric string action is written in duality invariant form for flat as well as curved backgrounds. First the action in flat backgrounds is written by introducing auxiliary fields. We also give the superfield form of this action and obtain the offshell supersymmetry algebra. The action has a modified Lorentz invariance and supersymmetry and reduces to the usual form when the auxiliary fields are eliminated using their equations of motion. Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model in curved backgrounds is also written in manifestly duality invariant form when the background metric and tortion fields are independent of some of the coordinates.

Comment on 'Anyon in External Elecromagnetic Field: Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Formulation'

We point out that in a recent paper by Chaichian et al. (Phys. Rev.Lett71(1993)3405) Dirac quantization procedure is not properly followed as a result of which the resulting quantum theory is different from what one will get by a straightforward application of Dirac's formulation. For example at quantum level the model in I has noncommutative geometry, i.e., $[x_μ, x_ν] \neq 0$ while a correct treatment would give $[x_μ, x_ν] = 0$. Moreover, their assertion about $α$ being an arbitrary constant in $S_μ= -αp_μ/{\sqrt{p^2}} $ is not correct and consequently one can not say whether the model describes anyons.

$O(\tilde d,\tilde d)$ Transformations and 3D Black Hole

We generalize the results of a previous paper by one of the authors to show a relationship among a class of string solutions through $O(\tilde d, \tilde d)$ transformations. The results are applied to a rotating black hole solution of three dimensional general relativity discussed recently. We extend the black hole solution to string theory and show its connection with the three dimensional black string with nonzero momentum through an $O(\tilde d, \tilde d)$ transformation of the above type.

A New $N = 4$ Superconformal Algebra

It is shown that the previously known $N=3$ and $N=4$ superconformal algebras can be contracted consistently by singular scaling of some of the generators. For the later case, by a contraction which depends on the central term, we obtain a new $N=4$ superconformal algebra which contains an $SU(2)\times {U(1)}^4$ Kac-Moody subalgebra and has nonzero central extension.

Topological Kac-Moody Algebra and Wakimoto Representation

It is shown, using the Wakimoto representation, that the level zero SU(2) Kac-Moody conformal field theory is topological and can be obtained by twisting an N=2 superconformal theory. Expressions for the associated N=2 superconformal generators are written down and the Kac-Moody generators are shown to be BRST exact.
