Abstract:
We study NN coincident IIA NS5-branes at large NN using supergravity. We show that the absorption cross section for gravitons in this background does not vanish at zero string coupling for energies larger than msN{m_s\over \sqrt{N}} (msm_s is the string scale). Using a holographic description of the intrinsic theory of the IIA NS5-branes, we find an expression for the two point function of the stress energy tensor, and comment on its structure.
