Instanton and seven-brane solutions of type IIB supergravity carrying charges in the Ramond-Ramond sector are constructed. The singular seven-brane has a quantized \RR \ \lq magnetic' charge whereas its dual is the instanton, which is non-singular in the string frame and has an associated {\it global} \lq electric' charge. The product of these charges is constrained by a Dirac quantization condition. The instanton has the form of a space-time wormhole in the string frame, and is responsible for the non-conservation of the Noether current.

  1. $\alpha'$ corrections to self-dual gravitational instantons

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    α' corrections leave the metric of self-dual instantons unmodified but correct the dilaton and axion fields via Gauss-Bonnet and Pontrjagin terms, with no net correction to the Euclidean action to first order.

  2. Carroll Geometry Meets De Sitter Space via Holography

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper shows that Carroll-like geometry appears naturally at the asymptotic boundary of de Sitter space in a string-theoretic holographic construction, mirroring the Galilei-like geometry of AdS/CFT, and builds exa...

  3. The IKKT renormalization group flow is IIB: toward zero-d holography

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    IKKT RG flow via Coulomb branch integration and BZJ flow reproduces the N-dependence of the axio-dilaton in IIB supergravity for D-instantons.

  4. Monte Carlo studies of the emergent spacetime in the polarized IKKT model

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For N=2, the polarized IKKT model is dominated by diverging commuting matrices at small Omega and by the fuzzy sphere at large Omega, with a smooth saddle connection between the two regimes.
