Michael Abbott

I am a postdoc in Theoretical Physics at TIFR, since November 2009.

(Until June 2009 I was at Brown University.)

Research

My papers are listed on the arXiv and on SPIRES / inSPIRE.

With luck you will see them below, too:

Local copies (PDF format format):

• Statistical entropy of three-dimensional q-deformed Kerr-de Sitter space (Phys.Lett.B)
• Six-Dimensional Yang Black Holes in Dilaton Gravity (Phys.Lett.B)
  
  
• Vibrating giant spikes and the large-winding sector (JHEP)
• Giant Magnons in AdS4 x CP3: Embeddings Charges and a Hamiltonian (JHEP)
• Dyonic Giant Magnons in CP3: Strings and Curves at Finite J (Phys.Rev.D)

• Real and Virtual Bound States in Luscher Corrections for CP3 Magnons
  
  
• The Near-Flat-Space and BMN Limits for Strings in AdS4 x CP3 (J.Phys.A)
  
  
• Also, all of the above in one zip file.

Contact

My office is room A308, whose phone number is +91-22-2278-2223.

My email is abbott, at theory.tifr..., but this sometimes gives trouble, so I also use the same name @het.brown.edu (which still works).

My postal address is:
      TIFR, Dept. Theoretical Physics
      1 Homi Bhabha Road                     (on google maps)
      Colaba, Mumbai 400-005
      India.

I also seem to have a page on the TIFR people finder.

Elsewhere

When not playing with strings, I like books and mountains and pictures, among other things... Pictures from these sometimes find their way onto my website, here:
