We present non-linear uplift ansaetze for all the bosonic degrees of freedom and dual fields in the 7-sphere reduction of D=11 supergravity to maximal SO(8) gauged supergravity and test them for the SO$(7)^{\pm}$ invariant solutions. In particular, we complete the known ansaetze for the internal components of the metric and 4-form flux by constructing a non-linear ansatz for the internal components of the dual 7-form flux. Furthermore, we provide ansaetze for the complete set of 56 vector fields, which are given by more general structures than those available from standard Kaluza-Klein theory. The novel features encountered here have no conventional geometric interpretation and provide a new perspective on Kaluza-Klein theory. We study the recently found set of generalised vielbein postulates and, for the 7-sphere compactification, we show that they reduce to the E7(7) Cartan equation of maximal SO(8) gauged supergravity in four dimensions. The significance of this framework for a higher-dimensional understanding of the embedding tensor and other gauged maximal supergravities is briefly discussed.

The Berry connection describes transformations induced by adiabatically varying Hamiltonians. We study how zero modes of the modular Hamiltonian are affected by varying the region that supplies the modular Hamiltonian. In the vacuum of a 2d CFT, global conformal symmetry singles out a unique modular Berry connection, which we compute directly and in the dual AdS$_3$ picture. In certain cases, Wilson loops of the modular Berry connection compute lengths of curves in AdS$_3$, reproducing the differential entropy formula. Modular Berry transformations can be measured by bulk observers moving with varying accelerations.

The kinematic space could play a key role in constructing the bulk geometry from dual CFT. In this paper, we study the kinematic space from geometric points of view, without resorting to differential entropy. We find that the kinematic space could be intrinsically defined in the embedding space. For each oriented geodesic in the Poincar\'e disk, there is a corresponding point in the kinematic space. This point is the tip of the causal diamond of the disk whose intersection with the Poincar\'e disk determines the geodesic. In this geometric construction, the causal structure in the kinematic space can be seen clearly. Moreover, we find that every transformation in the $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ leads to a geodesic in the kinematic space. In particular, for a hyperbolic transformation defining a BTZ black hole, it is a timelike geodesic in the kinematic space. We show that the horizon length of the static BTZ black hole could be computed by the geodesic length of corresponding points in the kinematic space. Furthermore, we discuss the fundamental regions in the kinematic space for the BTZ blackhole and multi-boundary wormholes.

In the framework of causal perturbation theory we consider a massive scalar field coupled to gravity. In the field theoretic approach to quantum gravity (QG) we start with a massless second rank tensor field. This tensor field is then quantized in a covariant way in Minkowski space. This article deals with the adiabatic limit for graviton radiative corrections in a scattering process of two massive scalar particles. We compute the differential cross-section for bremsstrahlung processes in which one of the outgoing particles emites a graviton of low energy, a so called soft graviton. Since the emited graviton will not be detected we have to integrate over all soft gravitons.

Kazama-Suzuki coset models is an interesting class of N=2 supersymmetric models of conformal field theory which are used to build realistic models of superstring in 4 dimensions. We formulate Kazama-Suzuki construction of N=2 superconformal coset models using more general language of Manin triples and represent the corresponding N=2 Virasoro superalgebra currents in explicit form. A correspondence between the Kazama-Suzuki models and Poisson homogeneous spaces is established also.

We construct non-minimal GUT local models in the F-theory configuration. The gauge group on the bulk G_S is one rank higher than the GUT gauge group. The line bundles on the curves are non-trivial to break G_S down to the GUT gauge groups. We demonstrate examples of SU(5) GUT from G_S=SU(6) and G_S=SO(10), the flipped SU(5) from G_S=SO(10), and the SO(10) GUT from G_S=SO(12) and G_S=E_6. We obtain complete GUT matter spectra and couplings, with minimum exotic matter contents. GUT gauge group breaking to MSSM is achievable by instanton configurations.

We derive constraints on the non-perturbative 3-point fermion-boson transverse vertex in massless QED3 from its perturbative calculation to order $\alpha$. We also check the transversality condition to two loops and evaluate the fermion propagator to the same order. We compare a conjecture of the non-perturbative vertex by Burden and Tjiang against our results and comment on its draw backs. Our calculation calls for the need to construct a non-perturbative form for the fermion-boson vertex which agrees with its perturbative limit to ${\cal O}(\alpha)$.

We explain Sklyanin's separation of variables in geometrical terms and construct it for Hitchin and Mukai integrable systems. We construct Hilbert schemes of points on $T^{*}\Sigma$ for $\Sigma = {\IC}, {\IC}^{*}$ or elliptic curve, and on ${\bf C}^{2}/{\Gamma}$ and show that their complex deformations are integrable systems of Calogero-Sutherland-Moser type. We present the hyperk\"ahler quotient constructions for Hilbert schemes of points on cotangent bundles to the higher genus curves, utilizing the results of Hurtubise, Kronheimer and Nakajima. Finally we discuss the connections to physics of $D$-branes and string duality.

We study breaking and restoration of supersymmetry in five-dimensional theories by determining the mass spectrum of fermions from their equations of motion. Boundary conditions can be obtained from either the action principle by extremizing an appropriate boundary action (interval approach) or by assigning parities to the fields (orbifold approach). In the former, fields extend continuously from the bulk to the boundaries, while in the latter the presence of brane mass-terms cause fields to jump when one moves across the branes. We compare the two approaches and in particular we carefully compute the non-trivial jump profiles of the wavefunctions in the orbifold picture for very general brane mass terms. We also include the effect of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism in either approach and point out that for a suitable tuning of the boundary actions supersymmetry is present for arbitrary values of the Scherk-Schwarz parameter. As an application of the interval formalism we construct bulk and boundary actions for super Yang-Mills theory. Finally we extend our results to the warped Randall-Sundrum background.

This is the revised version of Sect. I - IV of the paper https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.89.125022 originally published in 2014. The thing is that in https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.89.125022 the text was insufficiently clear and, in addition, it contained (through my fault) a few typos. This is the reason why I decided to offer a revised version. Original abstract: This is the eighth paper in the series devoted to the systematic study of effective theories. Below, I discuss the renormalization of the one-loop two-leg functions in multicomponent effective scalar theory. It is shown that only a part of numerous contributions that appear in the general expression for a two-leg graph can be considered as the true self-energy function. This part is completely fixed by the values of minimal coupling constants; it is the only one that should be taken into account in the conventional process of the summation of Dyson's chain that results in explicit expression for the full propagator. The other parts provide the well-defined finite corrections for the graphs with the number of legs n > 2. It is also shown that there is no need to attract the renormalization prescriptions for the higher derivatives of the two-leg function on the mass shell; the requirements of finiteness and diagonability turn out to be quite sufficient.

We present a Lorentz invariant lagrangian formulation for a supersymmetric Yang-Mills vector multiplet in eleven dimensions (11D). The Lorentz symmetry is broken at the field equation level, and therefore the breaking is spontaneous, as in other formulations of supersymmetric theories in 12D or higher dimensions. We introduce a space-like unit vector formed by the gradient of a scalar field, avoiding the problem of Lorentz non-invariance at the lagrangian level, which is also an analog of non-commutative geometry with constant field strengths breaking Lorentz covariance. The constancy of the space-like unit vector field is implied by the field equation of a multiplier field. The field equations for the physical fields are formally the same as those of 10D supersymmetric Yang-Mills multiplet, but now with some constraints on these fields for supersymmetric consistency. This formulation also utilizes the multiplier fields accompanied by the bilinear forms of constraints, such that these multiplier fields will not interfere with the physical field equations. Based on this component result, we also present a $\k$-symmetric supermembrane action with the supersymmetric Yang-Mills backgrounds.

In this paper, we analyze the holographic covariant entanglement entropy in the double Wick rotated version of a rotating BTZ black hole (3 dimensional Kerr-AdS solution), where the periodicity of Euclidean time and spatial direction are changed. The dual field theory has negative energy in the Lorentzian signature. The holographic entanglement entropy agrees with its CFT counterpart, which is obtained by a conformal transformation of the correlation functions of twisted operators.

Cohen, Kaplan, and Nelson (CKN) conjectured that the UV and IR cutoffs of effective quantum field theories coupled to gravity are not independent, but are connected by the physics of black holes. We interpret the CKN bound as a scale-dependent depletion of the QFT density of states and discuss various aspects of the bound on small and large scales. For laboratory experiments, we argue that the bound provides small corrections to ordinary quantum field theory, which we estimate to be of order $m_e/M_p$ for $g-2$ of the electron. On large scales, we suggest a modification of the CKN bound due to the presence of cosmological horizons and discuss the connection with entropy bounds.

We derive a theoretical upper bound on the oscillation frequency in the scalar perturbation power spectrum of single-field inflation. Oscillations are most naturally produced by modified vacua with varying phase. When this phase changes rapidly, it induces strong interactions between the scalar fluctuations. If the interactions are sufficiently strong the theory cannot be evaluated using perturbation theory, hence imposing a limit on the oscillation frequency. This complements the bound found by Weinberg governing the validity of effective field theory. The generalized consistency relation also allows one to use squeezed configurations of higher-point correlations to place constraints on the power spectrum oscillations.

Seiberg and Witten have shown that the non-perturbative stability of string physics on conformally compactified spacetimes is related to the behaviour of the areas and volumes of certain branes as the brane is moved towards infinity. If, as is particularly natural in quantum cosmology, the spatial sections of an accelerating cosmological model are flat and compact, then the spacetime is on the brink of disaster: it turns out that the version of inflationary spacetime geometry with toral spatial sections is marginally stable in the Seiberg-Witten sense. The question is whether the system remains stable before and after Inflation, when the spacetime geometry is distorted away from the inflationary form but still has flat spatial sections. We show that it is indeed possible to avoid disaster, but that requiring stability at all times imposes non-trivial conditions on the spacetime geometry of the early Universe in string cosmology. This in turn allows us to suggest a candidate for the structure which, in the earliest Universe, forbids cosmological singularities.

Hidden Conformal Symmetry in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ Beyond Tree Level

http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
Correlators of a certain one-dimensional superconformal field theory dual to hypermultiplets in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ exhibit a hidden four-dimensional conformal symmetry which allows one to repackage all tree-level 4-point correlators into a single four-dimensional object corresponding to a contact diagram arising from a massless $\phi^4$ theory in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$. This theory serves as a toy model for IIB string theory in AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ and is interesting in its own right because AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ describes the near-horizon limit of extremal black holes in four dimensions. We argue that after acting with an $SU(1,1)\times SU(2)$ Casimir, all one-loop correlators can similarly be encoded by a four-dimensional function which arises from a one-loop scalar bubble diagram in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$, explaining how the hidden conformal symmetry extends beyond tree level. Finally, we conjecture a scalar effective field theory with a derivative interaction in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ whose Witten diagrams should directly reproduce 4-point correlators to all loops without acting with Casimirs.

Correlators of a certain one-dimensional superconformal field theory dual to hypermultiplets in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ exhibit a hidden four-dimensional conformal symmetry which allows one to repackage all tree-level 4-point correlators into a single four-dimensional object corresponding to a contact diagram arising from a massless $\phi^4$ theory in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$. This theory serves as a toy model for IIB string theory in AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ and is interesting in its own right because AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ describes the near-horizon limit of extremal black holes in four dimensions. We argue that after acting with an $SU(1,1)\times SU(2)$ Casimir, all one-loop correlators can similarly be encoded by a four-dimensional function which arises from a one-loop scalar bubble diagram in AdS$_2\times$S$^2$, explaining how the hidden conformal symmetry extends beyond tree level.

We study the UV properties, and derive the explicit form of the one-loop effective action, for a noncommutative complex scalar field theory in 2+1 dimensions with a Grosse-Wulkenhaar term, at the self-dual point. We also consider quantum effects around non-trivial minima of the classical action which appear when the potential allows for the spontaneous breaking of the U(1) symmetry. For those solutions, we show that the one-loop correction to the vacuum energy is a function of a special combination of the amplitude of the classical solution and the coupling constant.

Using an effective field theory approach and the language of SU(N)-structures, we study higher derivative corrections to the supersymmetry constraints for compactifications of string or M-theory to Minkowski space. Our analysis is done entirely in the target space and is thus very general, and does not rely on theory-dependent details such as the amount of worldsheet supersymmetry. For manifolds of real dimension n<4 we show that the internal geometry remains flat and uncorrected. For n=4, 6, Kahler manifolds with SU(N)-holonomy can become corrected to SU(N)-structure, while preserving supersymmetry, once corrections are included.

In this paper based on the basic principles of gauge/gravity duality we compute the hall viscosity to entropy ratio in the presence of various higher derivative corrections to the dual gravitational description embedded in an asymptotically $ AdS_{4} $ space time. As the first step of our analysis, considering the back reaction we impose higher derivative corrections to the abelian gauge sector of the theory where we notice that the ratio indeed gets corrected at the leading order in the coupling. Considering the probe limit as a special case we compute this leading order correction over the fixed background of the charged black brane solution. Finally we consider higher derivative ($ R^{2} $) correction to the gravity sector of the theory where we notice that the above ratio might get corrected at the sixth derivative level.

In this bachelor thesis, possible kinetic terms and couplings of standard fields in MacDowell-Mansouri-Stelle-West gravity are studied with some aspects of group theory in mind. Possible obstructions to these couplings are considered and used to make statements about the validity of the theory when coupled to matter. While interactions themselves turn out to be mostly unaffected except for scalar fields, the theory fails at its goal of putting gravity on equal footing with Yang-Mills theories. This happens with the kinetic term for spin-1 gauge fields and spin-0 ones, as one needs auxiliary fields to ensure manifest covariance with respect to the internal group $ SO(2,3) $.

We define and study a lattice model which we argue is in the universality class of the $OSp(2S+2|2S)$ supercoset sigma model for a large range of values of the coupling constant $g_\sigma^2$. In this first paper, we analyze in details the symmetries of this lattice model, in particular the decomposition of the space of the quantum spin chain $V^{\otimes L}$ as a bimodule over $OSp(2S+2|2S)$ and its commutant, the Brauer algebra $B_L(2)$. It turns out that $V^{\otimes L}$ is a nonsemisimple module for both $OSp(2S+2|2S)$ and $B_L(2)$. The results are used in the companion paper to elucidate the structure of the (boundary) conformal field theory.

Corrections to the semiclassical approximation in nearly forward Planckian energy collisions are here reconsidered. Starting from the one-loop superstring amplitude, we are able to disentangle the first subleading high-energy contribution at large impact parameters, and we thus directly compute the one-loop correction to the superstring eikonal. We finally argue, on the basis of analyticity and unitarity, that gravitinos do not contribute at all to the large distance two-loop ACV correction, which thus acquires a universal ``classical'' interpretation.

Such formulas are of relevance to loop calculations of quantum field theory where they can been used, for instance, to obtain new series representations of the two-loop massive sunset Feynman diagram.

Within D=5 N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to hypermultiplets we derive consistency conditions for BPS domain walls with constant negative curvature on the wall. For such wall solutions to exist, the covariant derivative of the projector, governing the constraint on the Killing spinor, has to be non-zero and proportional to the cosmological constant on the domain walls. We also prove that in this case solutions of the Killing spinor equations are solutions of the equations of motion. We present explicit, analytically solved examples of such domain walls, employing the universal hypermultiplet fields. These examples involve the running of two scalar fields and the space-time in the transverse direction that is cut off at a critical distance, governed by the magnitude of the negative cosmological constant on the wall.

In this paper we address the question how to discriminate whether the gauged isometry group G_Sigma of the Kahler manifold Sigma that produces a D-type inflaton potential in a Minimal Supergravity Model is elliptic, hyperbolic or parabolic. We show that the classification of isometries of symmetric cosets can be extended to non symmetric Sigma.s if these manifolds satisfy additional mathematical restrictions. The classification criteria established in the mathematical literature are coherent with simple criteria formulated in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the Kahler potential K(C) = 2 J(C) where the real scalar field C encodes the inflaton field. As a by product of our analysis we show that phenomenologically admissible potentials for the description of inflation and in particular alpha-attractors are mostly obtained from the gauging of a parabolic isometry, this being, in particular the case of the Starobinsky model. Yet at least one exception exists of an elliptic alpha-attractor, so that neither type of isometry can be a priori excluded. The requirement of regularity of the manifold Sigma poses instead strong constraints on the alpha-attractors and reduces their space considerably. Curiously there is a unique integrable alpha-attractor corresponding to a particular value of this parameter.

We consider 4d N=1 SCFTs, topologically twisted on compact constant curvature Riemann surfaces, giving rise to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs. The exact R-current of these 2d SCFT extremizes the central charge c_{2d}, similarly to the 4d picture, where the exact R-current maximizes the central charge a_{4d}. There are global currents that do not mix with the R-current in 4d but their mixing becomes non trivial in 2d. In this paper we study the holographic dual of this process by analyzing a 5d N=2 truncation of T^{1,1} with one Betti vector multiplet, dual to the baryonic current on the CFT side. The holographic realization of the flow across dimensions connects AdS_5 to AdS_3 vacua in the supergravity picture. We verify the existence of the flow to AdS_3 solutions and we retrieve the field theory results for the mixing of the Betti vector with the graviphoton.

We consider 4d N=1 SCFTs, topologically twisted on compact constant curvature Riemann surfaces, giving rise to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs. The exact R-current of these 2d SCFT extremizes the central charge c_{2d}, similarly to the 4d picture, where the exact R-current maximizes the central charge a_{4d}. There are global currents that do not mix with the R-current in 4d but their mixing becomes non trivial in 2d. In this paper we study the holographic dual of this process by analyzing a 5d N=2 truncation of T^{1,1} with one Betti vector multiplet, dual to the baryonic current on the CFT side. The holographic realization of the flow across dimensions connects AdS_5 to AdS_3 vacua in the supergravity picture. We verify the existence of the flow to AdS_3 solutions and we retrieve the field theory results for the mixing of the Betti vector with the graviphoton. Moreover, we extract the central charge from the Brown-Henneaux formula, matching with the results obtained in field theory. We develop a general formalism to obtain the central charge of a 2d SCFT from 5d N=2 gauged supergravity with a generic number of vector multiplets, showing that its extremization corresponds to an attractor mechanism for the scalars in the supergravity picture.

We present a scheme to construct grand unified models based on the superconformal algebra and the inclusion of matter fields in the adjoint representation of supersymmetry. As an illustration, we implemented the Georgi-Glashow $SU(5)$ model. The model predics the existence of a hidden $(\mathbf{1},\mathbf{24},0) + (\mathbf{5},\mathbf{5}^\ast,-y') + (\mathbf{5}^\ast,\mathbf{5},y')$ sector and an anomalous $U(1)_Z$.

We examine the conjecture that an 11d E_8 bundle, appearing in the calculation of phases in the M-Theory partition function, plays a physical role in M-Theory, focusing on consequences for the classification of string theory solitons. This leads for example to a classification of IIA solitons in terms of that of LE_8 bundles in 10d. Since K(Z,2) approximates LE_8 up to \pi_{14}, this reproduces the K-Theoretic classification of IIA D-branes while treating NSNS and RR solitons more symmetrically and providing a natural interpretation of G_0 as the central extension of LE_8.

We study the relation between 5D super Yang-Mills theory and the holographic description of 6D (2,0) superconformal theory. We start by clarifying some issues related to the localization of N=1 SYM with matter on $S^5$. We concentrate on the case of a single adjoint hypermultiplet with a mass term and argue that the theory has a symmetry enlargement at mass M=1/(2r), where r is the $S^5$ radius. However, in order to have a well-defined localization locus it is necessary to rotate M onto the imaginary axis, breaking the enlarged symmetry. Based on our prescription, the imaginary mass values are physical and we show how the localized path integral is consistent with earlier results for 5D SYM in flat space. We then compute the free energy and the expectation value for a circular Wilson loop in the large N limit. The Wilson loop calculation shows a mass dependent constant rescaling between weak and strong coupling. The Wilson loop continued back to to the enlarged symmetry point is consistent with a supergravity computation for an M2 brane using the standard identification of the compactification radius and the 5D coupling. If we continue back to the physical regime and use this value of the mass to determine the compactification radius, then we find agreement between the SYM free energy and the corresponding supergravity calculation. We also verify numerically some of our analytic approximations.

The conductivity of a finite temperature 1+1 dimensional fermion gas described by the massive Thirring model is shown to be related to the retarded propagator of the dual boson sine-Gordon model. Duality provides a natural resummation which resolves infra-red problems, and the boson propagator can be related to the fermion gas at non-zero temperature and chemical potential or density. In addition, at high temperatures, we can apply a dimensional reduction technique to find resummed closed expressions for the boson self-energy and relate them to the fermion conductivity. Particular attention is paid to the discussion of analytic continuation. The resummation implicit in duality provides a powerful alternative to the standard diagrammatic evaluation of transport coefficients at finite temperature.

We investigate inflationary correlation functions in single field inflation models. We adopt a BRST formalism where locality and covariance at the sub-horizon scale are manifest. The scalar and tensor perturbations are identified with those in the comoving gauge which become constant outside the cosmological horizon. Our construction reproduces the identical non-Gaussianity with the standard comoving gauge. The accumulation of almost scale invariant fluctuations could give rise to IR logarithmic corrections at the loop level. We investigate the influence of this effect on the sub-horizon dynamics. Since such an effect must respect covariance, our BRST gauge has an advantage over the standard comoving gauge. We estimate IR logarithmic effects to the slow-roll parameters at the one-loop level. We show that $\epsilon$ receives IR logarithmic corrections, while this is not the case for $\eta$. We point out that IR logarithmic effects provide the shift symmetry breaking mechanism. This scenario may lead to an inflation model with a linear potential.

We investigate the theory of the bosonic-fermionic noncommutativity, $[x^{\mu},\theta^{\alpha}] = i \lambda^{\mu \alpha}$, and the Wess-Zumino model deformed by the noncommutativity. Such noncommutativity links well-known space-time noncommutativity to superspace non-anticommutativity. The deformation has the nilpotency. We can explicitly evaluate noncommutative effect in terms of new interactions between component fields. The interaction terms that have Grassmann couplings are induced. The noncommutativity does completely break full $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry to $ \mathcal{N} = 0 $ theory in Minkowski signature. Similar to the space-time noncommutativity, this theory has higher derivative terms and becomes non-local theory. However this non-locality is milder than the space-time noncommutative field theory. Due to the nilpotent feature of the coupling constants, we find that there are only finite number of Feynman diagrams that give noncommutative corrections at each loop order.

The lowest energy levels of positronium are studied in the non-relativistic approximation within the framework of Relativistic Schr\"odinger Theory (RST). Since it is very difficult to find the exact solutions of the RST field equations (even in the non-relativistic limit), an approximation scheme is set up on the basis of the hydrogen-like wave functions (i.e. polynomial times exponential). For any approximation order $\NN (\NN=0,1,2,3,...)$ there arises a spectrum of approximate RST solutions with the associated energies, quite similarly to the conventional treatment of positronium in the standard quantum theory (Appendix). For the lowest approximation order $(\NN=0)$ the RST prediction for the \emph{groundstate} energy exactly agrees with the conventional prediction of the standard theory. However for the higher approximation orders $(\NN=1,2,3)$, the corresponding RST prediction differs from the conventional result by (roughly) $0,9 [eV]$ which confirms the previous estimate of the error being due to the use of the spherically symmetric approximation. The excited states require the application of higher-order approximations $(\NN>>3)$ and are therefore not adequately described by the present orders $(\NN\le 3)$.

We define N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace HR^{1+2|4} with an SU(2)/U(1) harmonic part, SU(2) being one of two factors of the R-symmetry group SU(2)xSU(2) of N=4, d=1 Poincar\'e supersymmetry. We reformulate, in this new setting, the models of N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplets (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0). The latter admit a natural description as constrained superfields living in an analytic subspace of HR^{1+2|4}. We construct the relevant superfield actions consisting of a sigma-model as well as a superpotential parts and demonstrate that the superpotentials can be written off shell in a manifestly N=4 supersymmetric form only in the analytic superspace. The constraints implied by N=4 supersymmetry for the component bosonic target-space metrics, scalar potentials and background one-forms automatically follow from the harmonic superspace description. The analytic superspace is shown to be closed under the most general N=4, d=1 superconformal group D(2,1;\alpha). We give its action on the analytic superfields comprising the (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0) multiplets, reveal a surprising relation between the latter and present the corresponding superconformally invariant actions. The harmonic superspace approach suggests a natural generalization of these multiplets, with a [2(n+1), 4n, 2(n-1)] off-shell content for n>2.

We reformulate, in this new setting, the models of N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplets (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0). The latter admit a natural description as constrained superfields living in an analytic subspace of HR^{1+2|4}. We construct the relevant superfield actions consisting of a sigma-model as well as a superpotential parts and demonstrate that the superpotentials can be written off shell in a manifestly N=4 supersymmetric form only in the analytic superspace. The constraints implied by N=4 supersymmetry for the component bosonic target-space metrics, scalar potentials and background one-forms automatically follow from the harmonic superspace description. The analytic superspace is shown to be closed under the most general N=4, d=1 superconformal group D(2,1;\alpha). We give its action on the analytic superfields comprising the (3, 4, 1) and (4, 4, 0) multiplets, reveal a surprising relation between the latter and present the corresponding superconformally invariant actions. The harmonic superspace approach suggests a natural generalization of these multiplets, with a [2(n+1), 4n, 2(n-1)] off-shell content for n>2.

The minimal area for surfaces whose border are rectangular and circular loops are calculated using the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation. This amounts to solve the HJ equation for the value of the minimal area, without calculating the shape of the corresponding surface. This is done for bulk geometries that are asymptotically AdS. For the rectangular countour, the HJ equation, which is separable, can be solved exactly. For the circular countour an expansion in powers of the radius is implemented. The HJ approach naturally leads to a regularization which consists in locating the countour away from the border. The results are compared with other regularization which leaves the countour at the border and calculates the area of the corresponding minimal surface up to a diameter smaller than the one of the countour at the border. The results do not coincide, this is traced back to the fact that in the former case the area of a minimal surface is calculated and in the second the computed area corresponds to a fraction of a different minimal surface whose countour lies at the boundary.

A formula is proposed which expresses free fermion fields in 2K dimensions in terms of the Cartan currents of the free fermion current algebra. This leads, in an obvious manner, to a vertex operator construction of nonabelian free fermion current algebras in arbitrary even dimension. It is conjectured that these ideas may generalize to a wide class of conformal field theories.

We introduce the notion of cyclic cohomology of an A-infinity algebra and show that the deformations of an A-infinity algebra which preserve an invariant inner product are classified by this cohomology. We use this result to construct some cycles on the moduli space of algebraic curves. The paper also contains a review of some well known notions and results about Hochschild and cyclic cohomology of associative algebras, A-infinity algebras, and deformation theory of algebras, and includes a discussion of the homology of the graph complex of metric ribbon graphs which is associated to the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with marked points.

We investigate graviton radiation in gravitational scattering at small impact parameters $b<R\equiv 2G\sqrt{s}$ and extreme energies $s\gg M_P^2$, a regime in which classical collapse is thought to occur, and thus radiation may be suppressed also. Here however, by analyzing the soft-based representation of radiation recently proposed in the semiclassical ACV framework, we argue that gravitons can be efficiently produced in the untrapped region $|\boldsymbol{x}|\gtrsim R>b$, so as to suggest a possible completion of the unitarity sum. In fact, such energy radiation at large distances turns out to compensate and to gradually reduce to nothing the amount of energy $E'$ being trapped at small-$b$'s, by thus avoiding the quantum tunneling suppression of the elastic scattering and suggesting a unitary evolution. We finally look at the coherent radiation sample so obtained and we find that, by energy conservation, it develops an exponential frequency damping corresponding to a "quasi-temperature" of order $\hbar/R$, which is naturally related to a Hawking radiation and is suggestive of a black-hole signal at quantum level.

Without invalidating quantum mechanics as a principle underlying the dynamics of a fundamental theory, it is possible to ask for even more basic dynamical laws that may yield quantum mechanics as the machinery needed for its statistical analysis. In conventional systems such as the Standard Model for quarks and leptons, this would lead to hidden variable theories, which are known to be plagued by problems such as non-locality. But Planck scale physics is so different from field theories in some flat background space-time that here the converse may be the case: we speculate that causality and locality can only be restored by postulating a deterministic underlying theory. A price to be paid may be that the underlying theory exhibits dissipation of information.

Open Wilson line operators and generalized star product have been studied extensively in noncommutative gauge theories. We show that they also show up in noncommutative scalar field theories as universal structures. We first point out that dipole picture of noncommutative geometry provides an intuitive argument for robustness of the open Wilson lines and generalized star products therein. We calculate one-loop effective action of noncommutative scalar field theory with cubic self-interaction and show explicitly that the generalized star products arise in the nonplanar part. It is shown that, at low-energy, large noncommutativity limit, the nonplanar part is expressible solely in terms of the {\sl scalar} open Wilson line operator and descendants.

Despite the no-go theorem [5] which rules out static stable solitons in Galileon theory, we propose a family of solitons that evade the theorem by traveling at the speed of light. These domain-wall-like solitons are stable under small fluctuations-analysis of perturbation shows neither ghost-like nor tachyon-like instabilities, and perturbative collision of these solitons suggests that they pass through each other asymptotically, which maybe an indication of the integrability of the theory itself.

We analyze the possibility to construct a self-consistent gauge field theory in $D>4$. We first look for the cancellation of the UV divergences in SUSY theories. Then, following the Wilson RG approach, we study the RG equation for the gauge coupling in perturbative and nonperturbative regimes. In the first case the power low running is discussed. In the second case it is shown that there exist the ultraviolet fixed point where the gauge coupling is dimensionless in any space-time dimension. This fixed point is nonperturbative and corresponds to scale invariant theory. The same phenomenon also happens in supersymmetric theory in D=6.

We study two well-known classes of dualities in three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories. In the first class there are non trivial interactions involving monopole operators while in the second class the dual gauge theories have Chern-Simons terms in the action. An RG flows connecting the first dual pair to the second one has been studied in the past and tested on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. Recently an opposite RG flow connecting the second dual pair to the first one has been studied in the case of unitary gauge groups. In this paper we study this flow on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. We verify that the equality between the partition functions of the original dual models is preserved in the IR, where the other dual pair is reached. We generalize the analysis to the case of symplectic and of orthogonal groups.

We study two well-known classes of dualities in three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric field theories. In the first class there are non trivial interactions involving monopole operators while in the second class the dual gauge theories have Chern-Simons terms in the action. An RG flows connecting the first dual pair to the second one has been studied in the past and tested on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. Recently an opposite RG flow connecting the second dual pair to the first one has been studied in the case of unitary gauge groups. In this paper we study this flow on the partition function on the squashed three sphere. We verify that the equality between the partition functions of the original dual models is preserved in the IR, where the other dual pair is reached. We generalize the analysis to the case of symplectic and of orthogonal groups.

In this report I review some aspects of the algebraic structure of QFT related with the doubling of the degrees of freedom of the system under study. I show how such a doubling is related to the characterizing feature of QFT consisting in the existence of infinitely many unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical (anti-)commutation relations and how this is described by the q-deformed Hopf algebra. I consider several examples, such as the damped harmonic oscillator, the quantum Brownian motion, thermal field theories, squeezed states, classical-to-quantum relation, and show the analogies, or links, among them arising from the common algebraic structure of the q-deformed Hopf algebra.

It was recently proposed that our universe could naturally come to be dominated by 3-branes and 7-branes if the universe is ten-dimensional. In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that gravity can be localized on the intersection of three 7-branes in AdS10 to give four-dimensional gravity. We derive the exact relations among the tensions of the branes, and show that they apply independently of the precise distribution of energy within the necessarily thickened branes. We demonstrate this with several technical sections showing a simple formula for the curvature tensor of a diagonal metric with isometries as well as for the curvature at a gravitational singularity. We also demonstrate a subtlety in applying Stoke's Theorem to this set-up.

We show that smeared brane solutions, where a charged black p-brane is smeared uniformly over one of the transverse directions, can have a Gregory-Laflamme type dynamical instability in the smeared direction even when the solution is locally thermodynamically stable. These thus provide counterexamples to the Gubser-Mitra conjecture, which links local dynamical and thermodynamic stability. The existence of a dynamical instability is demonstrated by exploiting an ansatz due to Harmark and Obers, which relates charged solutions to neutral ones.

Utilizing the idea of extra large dimensions, it has been suggested that the gauge and gravity couplings unification can happen at a scale as low as 1 TeV. In this paper, we explore this phenomenological possibility within string theory. In particular, we discuss how the proton decay bound can be satisfied in Type I string theory. The string picture also suggests different scenarios of gauge and gravitational couplings unification. The various scenarios are explicitly illustrated with a specific 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric chiral Type I string model with Pati-Salam-like gauge symmetry. We point out certain features that should be generic in other Type I strings.

Distances in the conformal manifold, the space of CFTs related by marginal deformations, can be measured in terms of the Zamolodchikov metric. Part of the CFT Distance Conjecture posits that points in this manifold where part of the spectrum becomes free, called higher-spin points, can only be at infinite distance from the interior. There, an infinite tower of operators become conserved currents, and the conformal symmetry is enhanced to a higher-spin algebra. This proposal was initially motivated by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, one of pillars of the Swampland Program. In this work, we show that the conjecture can be tackled using only methods from the conformal toolkit, and without relying on the existence of a weakly-coupled gravity dual. Via conformal perturbation theory combined with properties of correlators and of the higher-spin algebra, we establish that higher-spin points are indeed at infinite distance in the conformal manifold. We make no assumptions besides the usual properties of local CFTs, such as unitarity and the existence of an energy-momentum tensor. In particular, we do not rely on a specific dimension of spacetime (although we assume $d>2$), nor do we require the presence of supersymmetry.

In this work we obtain a static spherically symmetric charged black hole solution in the framework of minimal Horndeski gravity with additional Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields. The obtained solution is examined, in particular its asymptotics are studied. Thermodynamics of the black hole is investigated, namely we use an effective surface gravity to derive black hole temperature. To obtain the first law of black hole thermodynamics the Wald method is applied. We also use the extended thermodynamics approach, namely it allows us to derive the Smarr relation, Gibbs free energy and the thermal equation of state. The study of thermal values in the extended space shows rich phase behaviour, in particular domain where the first order phase transition takes place and the critical point with the second order phase transition. We also study thermal behaviour near the critical point, obtain critical exponents and analyse the Ehrenfest's equations at the critical point. Finally, we calculate the Prigogine-Defay ratio confirming the conclusion about the second order phase transition at the critical point.

We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on non-compact spaces, using Fujikawa's approach and functional integral methods, and discuss the available mechanisms for their cancellation. We then generalize these analyses to the case of orbifold field theories with compact internal dimensions, emphasizing the new aspects related to the presence of orbifold singularities and discrete Wilson lines, and the new cancellation mechanisms that are becoming available. We conclude with a very brief discussion on global and parity anomalies.

We report our findings on the perturbative structure of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the infrared sector by computing inclusive scattering cross sections of on-shell particles. We use half-BPS, energy-momentum tensor and Konishi operators to produce singlet states in the scattering processes to probe the soft and the collinear properties of the cross sections. By appropriately defining the infrared safe observables, we obtain collinear splitting functions up to second order in the perturbation theory. The splitting functions and the infrared finite cross sections demonstrate several interesting connections with those in the perturbative QCD. We also determine the process independent soft distribution function up to third order in the perturbation theory and show that it is universal {\it i.e.} independent of the operators as well as the external states. Interestingly, the soft distribution function in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory matches exactly with the leading transcendental part of the corresponding one in the QCD. This enables us to predict the third order soft plus virtual cross section for the production of the on-shell singlet states.

It is argued that the massive gauge field theory without the Higgs mechanism can well be set up on the gauge-invariance principle based on the viewpoint that a massive gauge field must be viewed as a constrained system and the Lorentz condition, as a constraint, must be introduced from the beginning and imposed on the Yang-Mills Lagrangian. The quantum theory for the massive gauge fieldis may perfectly be established by the quantization performed in the Hamiltonian or the Lagrangian path-integral formalism by means of the Lagrange undetermined multiplier method and shows good renormalizability and unitarity.

We report on a detailed calculation of the anomaly coefficients for the odd and even parts of the $Z_2$-graded representation $\theta$ of the Lie algebra Lie$ G$ on the exterior algebra of dimension $2^n$ assuming that $G\subset U(n)$. The coefficients vanish provided $G\subset SU(n)$ and $n\ne3$. The singular role of the gauge group SU(3) is emphasized. The Standard Model is covered by this result.

Minimal $D=5$ supergravity admits asymptotically globally AdS$_5$ gravitational solitons (strictly stationary, geodesically complete spacetimes with positive mass). We show that, like asymptotically flat gravitational solitons, these solutions satisfy mass and mass variation formulas analogous to those satisfied by AdS black holes. A thermodynamic volume associated to the non-trivial topology of the spacetime plays an important role in this construction. We then consider these solitons within the holographic ``complexity equals action'' and ``complexity equals volume'' conjectures as simple examples of spacetimes with nontrivial rotation and topology. We find distinct behaviours for the volume and action, with the counterterm for null boundaries playing a significant role in the latter case. For large solitons we find that both proposals yield a complexity of formation proportional to a power of the thermodynamic volume, $V^{3/4}$. In fact, up to numerical prefactors, the result coincides with the analogous one for large black holes.

We consider the time evolution of mixed state correlation measures in two-dimensional conformal field theories, such as logarithmic negativity, odd entropy, and reflected entropy, after quantum quenches of various kinds. These correlation measures, in the holographic context, are all associated to the entanglement wedge cross section. We contrast various classes of conformal field theories, both rational and irrational (pure) conformal field theories. First, for rational conformal field theories, whose dynamics can be well described by the quasi-particle picture, we find all four quantities for disjoint intervals to be proportional, regardless of the specific quench protocol. Second, using the light cone bootstrap, we generalize our results to irrational conformal field theories where we find sharp distinctions from the quasi-particle results and striking differences between mutual information and the other measures. The large surplus of logarithmic negativity relative to mutual information forces us to reconsider what mutual information and logarithmic negativity really measure. We interpret these results as a signature of information scrambling and chaos in irrational theories. These CFT results perfectly agree with our gravitational (holographic) calculations. Furthermore, using holography, we are able to generalize the results to outside of the light cone limit. Finally, due to the breakdown of the quasi-particle picture for irrational theories, we appeal to the "line-tension picture," motivated by random unitary circuits, as a phenomenological description. We observe that random unitary circuits, with local Hilbert space dimension determined by the Cardy formula, have precisely the same entanglement dynamics as irrational (including holographic) conformal field theories.

We present solutions of the holomorphic anomaly equations for compact two-parameter Calabi-Yau manifolds which are hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. In particular we focus on K3-fibrations where due to heterotic type II duality the topological invariants in the fibre direction are encoded in certain modular forms. The formalism employed provides holomorphic expansions of topological string amplitudes everywhere in moduli space.

Generically, the gravitational-wave or tensor-mode contribution to the primordial curvature spectrum of inflation is tiny if the field-range of the inflaton is much smaller than the Planck scale. We show that this pessimistic conclusion is naturally avoided in a rather broad class of small-field models. More specifically, we consider models where an axion-like shift symmetry keeps the inflaton potential flat (up to non-perturbative cosine-shaped modulations), but inflation nevertheless ends in a waterfall-regime, as is typical for hybrid inflation. In such hybrid natural inflation scenarios (examples are provided by Wilson line inflation and fluxbrane inflation), the slow-roll parameter $\epsilon$ can be sizable during an early period (relevant for the CMB spectrum). Subsequently, $\epsilon$ quickly becomes very small before the tachyonic instability eventually terminates the slow roll regime. In this scenario, one naturally generates a considerable tensor-mode contribution in the curvature spectrum, collecting nevertheless the required amount of e-foldings during the final period of inflation. While non-observation of tensors by Planck is certainly not a problem, a discovery in the medium to long term future is realistic.

There is evidence that string theory possesses a large discretuum of stable and/or metastable ground states, with zero or four supersymmetries in four dimensions. I discuss critically the nature of this evidence. Assuming this "landscape" exists, anthropic explanations of some quantities are almost inevitable. I explain that this landscape is likely to lead to a prediction of low energy supersymmetry. But we argue that many features of low energy physics are not anthropic and, as currently understood, the landscape picture will get them wrong. This indicates that this viewpoint is potentially falsifiable. Moreover, if it is correct, many questions must be answered through more conventional scientific explanations. This is based on talks presented at the conference QTS3 at the University of Cincinnati and at the ITP in 2003.

We perform a canonical quantization of Weyl's conformal gravity by means of the covariant operator formalism and investigate the unitarity of the resulting quantum theory. After reducing the originally fourth order theory to second order in time derivatives via the introduction of an auxiliary tensor field, we identify the full Fock space of quantum states under a BRST construction that includes Faddeev-Popov ghost fields corresponding to Weyl transformations. Using the Kugo-Ojima quartet mechanism, we identify the physical subspace of quantum states and find that the subspace containing the transverse spin-2 states comes equipped with an indefinite inner product metric and a one-particle Hamiltonian that possesses only a single eigenstate. We construct the LSZ reduction formula for the S-matrix in this spin-2 subspace and find that unitarity is violated in scattering events. The explicit way in which this violation occurs represents a new view on the ghost-problem in quadratic theories of quantum gravity.

Using the FiNLIE solution of the AdS/CFT Y-system, we compute the anomalous dimension of the Konishi operator in planar N=4 SYM up to eight loops, i.e. up to the leading double wrapping order. At this order a non reducible Euler-Zagier sum, zeta(1,2,8), appears for the first time. We find that at all orders in perturbation, every spectral-dependent quantity of the Y-system is expressed through multiple Hurwitz zeta functions, hence we provide a Mathematica package to manipulate these functions, including the particular case of Euler-Zagier sums. Furthermore, we conjecture that only Euler-Zagier sums can appear in the answer for the anomalous dimension at any order in perturbation theory. We also resum the leading transcendentality terms of the anomalous dimension at all orders, obtaining a simple result in terms of Bessel functions. Finally, we demonstrate that exact Bethe equations should be related to an absence of poles condition that becomes especially nontrivial at double wrapping.

At this order a non reducible Euler-Zagier sum, zeta(1,2,8), appears for the first time. We find that at all orders in perturbation, every spectral-dependent quantity of the Y-system is expressed through multiple Hurwitz zeta functions, hence we provide a Mathematica package to manipulate these functions, including the particular case of Euler-Zagier sums. Furthermore, we conjecture that only Euler-Zagier sums can appear in the answer for the anomalous dimension at any order in perturbation theory. We also resum the leading transcendentality terms of the anomalous dimension at all orders, obtaining a simple result in terms of Bessel functions. Finally, we demonstrate that exact Bethe equations should be related to an absence of poles condition that becomes especially nontrivial at double wrapping.

The quantization of General Relativity invariant with respect to time-reparametrizations is considered. We construct the Faddeev-Popov generating functional for the unitary perturbation theory in terms of invariants of the kinemetric group of diffeomorphisms of a frame of reference as a set of Einstein's observers with the equivalent Hamiltonian description ($t'=t'(t)$, $x'^i=x'^i(t,x^1,x^2,x^3)$). The algebra of the kinemetric group has other dimensions than the constraint algebra in the conventional Dirac-Faddeev-Popov (DFP) approach to quantization. To restore the reparametrization invariance broken in the DFP approach, the invariant dynamic evolution parameter is introduced as the zero Fourier harmonic of the space metric determinant. The unconstrained version of the reparametrization invariant GR is obtained. We research the infinite space-time limit of the Faddeev-Popov generating functional in the theory and discuss physical consequences of the considered quantization.

We analyze the action of the spectral flows on N=2 twisted topological theories. We show that they provide a useful mapping between the two twisted topological theories associated to a given N=2 superconformal theory. This mapping can also be viewed as a topological algebra automorphism. In particular null vectors are mapped into null vectors, considerably simplifying their computation. We give the level 2 results. Finally we discuss the spectral flow mapping in the case of the DDK and KM realizations of the topological algebra.

We develop techniques to calculate an index for four dimensional superconformal field theories. This superconformal index is counting BPS operators which preserve only one supercharge. To calculate the superconformal index we quantize the field theory on S^3 X R and show that the twisted theory has an appropriate mass gap. This allows for the interactions to be switched off continuously without the superconformal index being changed. We test those techniques for theories which go through a non-trivial RG flow and for Seiberg dual theories. This leads to the conjecture of some group/number theoretical identities.

de Sitter vacuum of nonconformal gauge theories is non-equilibrium, manifested by a nonvanishing rate of the comoving entropy production at asymptotically late times. This entropy production rate is related to the entanglement entropy of the de Sitter vacuum of the theory. We use holographic correspondence to compute vacuum entanglement entropy density $s_{ent}$ of mass deformed ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory - the ${\cal N}=2^*$ gauge theory - for various values of the masses and the coupling constant to the background space-time curvature. For a particular choice of the curvature coupling, the Euclidean model can be solved exactly using the supersymmetric localization. We show that ${\cal N}=2^*$ de Sitter entanglement entropy is not the thermodynamic entropy of the localization free energy at de Sitter temperature. Neither it is related to the thermal entropy of de Sitter vacuum of pair-produced particles.

Non-hermitian radial momentum operator and path integrals in polar coordinates

A salient feature of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is that the classical radial momentum term $p_{r}^{2}$ in polar coordinates is replaced by the operator $\hat{P}^{\dagger}_{r} \hat{P}_{r}$, where the operator $\hat{P}_{r}$ is not hermitian in general. This fact has important implications for the path integral and semi-classical approximations. When one defines a formal hermitian radial momentum operator $\hat{p}_{r}=(1/2)((\frac{\hat{\vec{x}}}{r}) \hat{\vec{p}}+\hat{\vec{p}}(\frac{\hat{\vec{x}}}{r}))$, the relation $\hat{P}^{\dagger}_{r} \hat{P}_{r}=\hat{p}_{r}^{2}+\hbar^{2}(d-1)(d-3)/(4r^{2})$ holds in $d$-dimensional space and this extra potential appears in the path integral formulated in polar coordinates. The extra potential, which influences the classical solutions in the semi-classical treatment such as in the analysis of solitons and collective modes, vanishes for $d=3$ and attractive for $d=2$ and repulsive for all other cases $d\geq 4$. This extra term induced by the non-hermitian operator is a purely quantum effect, and it is somewhat analogous to the quantum anomaly in chiral gauge theory.

The BPS bound states of D4-D2-D0 branes on the non-compact divisors of Calabi-Yau threefolds and the instantons in the dual quiver gauge theories are previously studied using two-dimensional crystal melting model and dimer model. Using the tropical geometry associated with the toric quiver, we study the asymptotic of the quiver gauge theory to compute some of their thermodynamic observables and extract the phase structure. We obtain that the thermodynamic observables such as free energy, entropy and growth rate are explicitly obtained from the limit shape of the crystal model, the boundary of the Amoeba and its Harnack curve characterization. Furthermore, we observe that there is a Hagedorn phase transition in the instanton sector inferred from the Gumbel distribution of the fluctuations in the crystal model. We present explicit computations of the results in some concrete examples of $\mathbb{C}^3$, conifold, local $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$ and local $\mathbb{P}^2$ quivers.

The calculations are done in the large-N_c approximation using Supersymmetric Discrete Light-Cone Quantization. The stress-energy correlator is obtained as a function of the separation r; for intermediate values of r, the correlator behaves in a manner consistent with the 1/r^5 behavior predicted by weak-coupling supergravity.

We consider bubble collisions in single scalar field theories with multiple vacua. Recent work has argued that at sufficiently high impact velocities, collisions between such bubble vacua are governed by 'free passage' dynamics in which field interactions can be ignored during the collision, providing a systematic process for populating local minima without quantum nucleation. We focus on the time period that follows the bubble collision and provide evidence that, for certain potentials, interactions can drive significant deviations from the free-passage bubble profile, thwarting the production of bubbles with different field values.

We study N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories coupled to non-Lagrangian superconformal field theories induced by compactifying the six dimensional A_1 (2,0) theory on Riemann surfaces with irregular punctures. These are naturally associated to Hitchin systems with wild ramification whose spectral curves provide the relevant Seiberg-Witten geometries. We propose that the prepotential of these gauge theories on the Omega-background can be obtained from the corresponding irregular conformal blocks on the Riemann surfaces via a generalization of the coherent state construction to the case of higher order singularities.

We discuss the high temperature behavior of retarded thermal loops in static external fields. We employ an analytic continuation of the imaginary time formalism and use a spectral representation of the thermal amplitudes. We show that, to all orders, the leading contributions of static hard thermal loops can be directly obtained by evaluating them at zero external energies and momenta.

We present a new compactification of chiral, N=2 ten-dimensional supergravity down to five dimensions and show that it corresponds to the N=2 supersymmetric critical point of five-dimensional, N=8 gauged supergravity found in [KPW]. This solution presented here is of particular significance because it involves non-zero tensor gauge fields and, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, is dual to the non-trivial N=1 supersymmetric fixed point of N=4 Yang-Mills theory.

This work investigates this further, discussing some details and results found in the litterature and presenting some new ones, including a non-linear expression that leads the contraction back to the original q-boson algebra used in the Jordan-Schwinger construction.

We describe an attempt of string theoretic derivation of the Gibbons-Hawking entropy. Despite not admitting a de Sitter vacuum, the string theory, by the power of open-close correspondence, captures the Gibbons-Hawking entropy as the entropy of Chan-Paton species on a de Sitter-like state obtained via $D$-branes. Moreover, this derivation sheds a new light at the origin of the area-form, since the equality takes place for a critical 't Hooft coupling for which the species entropy of open strings saturates the area-law unitarity bound.

Using the connection with the Frobenius manifold structure, we study the matrix model description of minimal Liouville gravity (MLG) based on the Douglas string equation. Our goal is to find an exact discrete formulation of the (q,p) MLG model that intrinsically contains information about the conformal selection rules. We discuss how to modify the Frobenius manifold structure appropriately for this purposes. We propose a modification of the construction for Lee-Yang series involving the $A_{p-1}$ algebra instead of the previously used $A_1$ algebra. With the new prescription, we calculate correlators on the sphere up to four points and find full agreement with the continuous approach without using resonance transformations.

Applications to holographic theories have led to some recent interest in magnetic monopoles in four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime. This paper is concerned with a study of these monopoles, using both analytic and numerical methods. An approximation is introduced in which the fields of a charge N monopole are explicitly given in terms of a degree N rational map. Within this approximation, it is shown that the minimal energy monopole of charge N has the same symmetry as the minimal energy Skyrmion with baryon number N in Minkowski spacetime. Beyond charge two the minimal energy monopole has only a discrete symmetry, which is often Platonic. The rational map approximation provides an upper bound on the monopole energy and may be viewed as a smooth non-abelian refinement of the magnetic bag approximation, to which it reverts under some additional approximations. The analytic results are supported by numerical solutions obtained from simulations of the non-abelian field theory. A similar analysis is performed on the monopole wall that emerges in the large N limit, to reveal a hexagonal lattice as the minimal energy architecture.

A model of inflation is proposed in which compact extra dimensions allow a graceful exit without recourse to flat potentials or super-Planckian field values. Though bubbles of true vacuum are too sparse to uniformly reheat the Universe by colliding with each other, a compact dimension enables a single bubble to uniformly reheat by colliding with itself. This mechanism, which generates an approximately scale invariant perturbation spectrum, requires that inflation be driven by a bulk field, that vacuum decay be slow, and that the extra dimension be at least a hundred times larger than the false vacuum Hubble length.

In this note we study $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$-invariant functions such as modular graph functions or coefficient functions of higher derivative corrections in type IIB string theory. The functions solve inhomogeneous Laplace equations and we choose to represent them as Poincar\'e series. In this way we can combine different methods for asymptotic expansions and obtain the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to their zero Fourier modes. In the case of the higher derivative corrections, these terms have an interpretation in terms of perturbative string loop effects and pairs of instantons/anti-instantons.

We study the gravitational description of extremal supersymmetric black holes. We point out that the $AdS_2$ near horizon geometry can be used to compute interesting observables, such as correlation functions of operators. In this limit, the Hamiltonian is zero and correlation functions are time independent. We discuss some possible implications for the gravity description of black hole microstates. We also compare with numerical results in a supersymmetric version of SYK. These results can also be interpreted as providing a construction of wormholes joining two extremal black holes. This is the short version of a longer and more technical companion paper arXiv:2207.00408.

Twist fields were introduced a few decades ago as a quantum counterpart to classical kink configurations and disorder variables in low dimensional field theories. In recent years they received a new incarnation within the framework of geometric entropy and strong coupling limit of four-dimensional scattering amplitudes. In this paper, we study their two-point correlation functions in a free massless scalar theory, namely, twist--twist and twist--anti-twist correlators. In spite of the simplicity of the model in question, the properties of the latter are far from being trivial. The problem is reduced, within the formalism of the path integral, to the study of spectral determinants on surfaces with conical points, which are then computed exactly making use of the zeta function regularization. We also provide an insight into twist correlators for a massive complex scalar by means of the Lifshitz-Krein trace formula.

We also provide an insight into twist correlators for a massive complex scalar by means of the Lifshitz-Krein trace formula.

We present a Lagrangian formulation for the free superspin-3/2 massive 4D, N=1 superfield. The model is described by a dynamical real vector superfield and an auxiliary real scalar superfield. The corresponding multiplet contains spin-1, spin-2 and two spin-3/2 propagating component fields on-shell. The auxillary superfield is needed to ensure that the on-shell vector superfield carries only the irreducible representation of the Poincare supergroup with a given mass and the fixed superspin of 3/2. The bosonic sector of the component level of the model is also presented.

Oblique Dp-branes in the maximally supersymmetric type IIB plane-wave background are constructed in terms of boundary states, as well as from the open string point of view. These Dp-branes, whose existence was anticipated by Hikida and Yamaguchi from general supersymmetry arguments, have an isometry that is a subgroup of the diagonal SO(4) symmetry of the background. The oblique D3-brane is found to preserve four dynamical and four kinematical supersymmetries while the oblique D5-brane preserves one half of both the dynamical and kinematical supersymmetries. We also discuss the open-string boundary conditions for curved D7- and D5-branes, and analyze their supersymmetry.

Given the insight steming from string theory, the origin of the black-hole (BH) information puzzle is traced back to the assumption that it is physically meaningful to trace out the density matrix over negative-frequency Hawking particles. Instead, treating them as virtual particles necessarily absorbed by the BH in a manner consistent with the laws of BH thermodynamics, and tracing out the density matrix only over physical BH states, the complete evaporation becomes compatible with unitarity.

It has been conjectured that Little String Theories in six dimensions are holographic to critical string theory in a linear dilaton background. We test this conjecture for theories arising on the worldvolume of heterotic fivebranes. We compute the spectrum of chiral primaries in these theories and compare with results following from Type I-heterotic duality and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We also construct holographic duals for heterotic fivebranes near orbifold singularities. Finally we find several new Little String Theories which have Spin(32)/Z_2 or E_8 \times E_8 global symmetry but do not have a simple interpretation either in heterotic or M-theory.

Stable vacua obtained from isotropic tori compactification might not be fully stable provided the existence of runaway directions in the Kaehler directions of anisotropy. By implementing a genetic algorithm we report the existence of explicit flux configurations leading to stable de Sitter and Anti- de Sitter vacua, consisting on Type IIB compactifications on a 6-dimensional anisotropic torus threaded with standard and S-dual invariant non-geometric fluxes in the presence of orientifold 3-planes. In all dS vacua the masses of the complex structure moduli are heavier than the Hubble scale suggesting that the axio-dilaton and Kaeahler moduli are natural candidates for small-field inflation. In the way, we also report new solutions on isotropic and semi-isotropic tori compactifications. Finally, we observe that, since all our solutions are obtained in the absence of solitonic objects, they are good candidates to be lifted to stable solutions in extended supersymmetric theories.

On Wilson Loops and Confinement without Supersymmetry from Composite Antisymmeric Tensor Field theories

A novel approach that does not rely on supersymmetry, nor in the AdS/CFT correspondence, to evaluate the Wilson loops asociated with a gauge theory of area-preserving diffeomorphisms in terms of pure string degrees of freedoms is presented. It is based on the Guendelman-Nissimov-Pacheva formulation of composite antisymmetric tensor field theories of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. Such theories admit p-brane solutions. The quantum effects are discussed and we evaluate exactly the vev of the Wilson loops, in the large N limit of quenched-reduced SU(N) QCD, in terms of a path integral involving pure string degrees of freedom. It is consistent with the recent results based on the AdS/CFT correspondence and dual QCD models (dual Higgs model with dual Dirac strings). More general Loop wave equations in C-spaces (Clifford manifolds) are proposed in terms of holographic variables that contain the dynamics of an aggregate of closed branes (p-loops) of various dimensionalities.

The zeta function associated with higher-spin fields on the Euclidean $4$-ball is investigated. The leading coefficients of the corresponding heat-kernel expansion are given explicitly and the zeta functional determinant is calculated. For fermionic fields the determinant is shown to differ for local and spectral boundary conditions.
