Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are some of the most enigmatic X-ray bright sources known to date. It is generally accepted that they cannot host black holes as large as those associated with active galaxies, but they appear to be significantly mo...

Dimer models, integrable systems and quantum Teichmuller space (2011)
Journal Article

We introduce a correspondence between dimer models (and hence superconformal quivers) and the quantum Teichmüller space of the Riemann surfaces associated to them by mirror symmetry. Via the untwisting map, every brane tiling gives rise to a tiling o... Read More about Dimer models, integrable systems and quantum Teichmuller space.
