We study the embedding of D7 brane probes in five geometries that are deformations of AdS_5 x S^5. Each case corresponds to the inclusion of quark fields in a dual gauge theory where we are interested in investigating whether chiral symmetry breaking occurs. We use a supersymmetric geometry describing an N=2 theory on its moduli space and a dilaton driven non-supersymmetric flow to establish criteria for a chiral symmetry breaking embedding. We develop a simple spherical D7 embedding that tests the repulsion of the core of the geometry and signals dynamical symmetry breaking. We then use this tool in more complicated geometries to show that an N=2* theory and a non-supersymmetric theory with scalar masses do not induce a chiral condensate. Finally we provide evidence that the Yang Mills* geometry does.

We study the problem of quantum quench across a critical point in a strongly coupled field theory using AdS/CFT techniques. The model involves a probe neutral scalar field with mass-squared $m^2$ in the range $-9/4 < m^2 < -3/2$ in a $AdS_4$ charged black brane background. For a given brane background there is a critical mass-squared, $m_c^2$ such that for $m^2 < m_c^2$ the scalar field condenses. The theory is critical when $m^2 = m_c^2$ and the source for the dual operator vanishes. At the critical point, the radial operator for the bulk linearized problem has a zero mode. We study the dynamics of the order parameter with a time dependent source $J(t)$, or a null-time dependent bulk mass $m(u)$ across the critical point. We show that in the critical region the dynamics for an initially slow variation is dominated by the zero mode : this leads to an effective description in terms of a Landau-Ginsburg type dynamics with a {\em linear} time derivative. Starting with an adiabatic initial condition in the ordered phase, we find that the order parameter drops to zero at a time $t_\star$ which is later than the time when $(m_c^2-m^2)$ or $J$ hits zero. In the critical region, $t_\star$, and the departure of the order parameter from its adiabatic value, scale with the rate of change, with exponents determined by static critical behavior. Numerical results for the order parameter are consistent with these expectations.

We extend vector formalism by including it in the algebra of split octonions, which we treat as the universal algebra to describe physical signals. The new geometrical interpretation of the products of octonionic basis units is presented. Eight real parameters of octonions are interpreted as the space-time coordinates, momentum and energy. In our approach the two fundamental constants, $c$ and $\hbar$, have the geometrical meaning and appear from the condition of positive definiteness of the octonion norm. We connect the property of non-associativity with the time irreversibility and fundamental probabilities in physics.

We study the dynamical stability of the BTZ black string against fermonic and gravitational perturbations. The BTZ black string is not always stable against these perturbations. There exist threshold values for $m^2$ related to the compactification of the extra dimension for fermonic perturbation, scalar part of the gravitational perturbation and the tensor perturbation, respectively. Above the threshold values, perturbations are stable; while below these thresholds, perturbations can be unstable. We find that this non-trivial stability behavior qualitatively agrees with that predicted by a thermodynamical argument, showing that the BTZ black string phase is not the privileged stable phase.

Similarly to the bosonic Liouville theory, the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Liouville theory was conjectured to be equipped with the duality that exchanges the superpotential and the K\"ahler potential. The conjectured duality, however, seems to suffer from a mismatch of the preserved symmetries. More than fifteen years ago, when I was a student, my supervisor Tohru Eguchi gave a beautiful resolution of the puzzle when the supersymmetry is enhanced to $\mathcal{N}=4$ based on his insight into the underlying geometric structure of the $A_1$ singularity. I will review his unpublished but insightful idea and present our attempts to extend it to more general cases.

A proof of renormalizability of the theory of the dynamical non-Abelian two-form is given using the Zinn-Justin equation. Two previously unknown symmetries of the quantum action, different from the BRST symmetry, are needed for the proof. One of these is a gauge fermion dependent nilpotent symmetry, while the other mixes different fields with the same transformation properties. The BRST symmetry itself is extended to include a shift transformation by use of an anticommuting constant. These three symmetries restrict the form of the quantum action up to arbitrary order in perturbation theory. The results show that it is possible to have a renormalizable theory of massive vector bosons in four dimensions without a residual Higgs boson.

We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory and the Calogero-Sutherland model with $su(2)$ spin. We use this connection to describe how the spinons are the quasi-particles spanning the irreducible Yangian multiplet, and also to exhibit operators creating the $N$-spinon highest weight vectors.

We construct the derivative corrections to the four-point vertices in the abelian open string effective action to all orders in alpha'. The result is based on the structure of the string four-point function. Supersymmnetry of these vertices is guaranteed by the supersymmetry of the F^4 term in the effective action. By this construction we establish the existence of an infinite number of supersymmetry invariants, the number of invariants at order alpha'^n grows linearly with n.

A non-associative quantum mechanics is proposed in which the product of three and more operators can be non-associative one. The multiplication rules of the octonions define the multiplication rules of the corresponding operators with quantum corrections. The self-consistency of the operator algebra is proved for the product of three operators. Some properties of the non-associative quantum mechanics are considered. It is proposed that some generalization of the non-associative algebra of quantum operators can be helpful for understanding of the algebra of field operators with a strong interaction.

We also discuss how the integral criterion based on the argument of the Riemann zeta function relates to the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis. We provide a new generalization of this integral criterion. Finally, we comment on the physical interpretation of our recasting of the Riemann hypothesis in terms of the Veneziano amplitude.

We derive the universal threshold corrections in heterotic string theory including a continuous Wilson line. Unification of gauge and gravitational couplings is shown to be possible even within perturbative string theory. The relative importance of gauge group dependent and independent thresholds on unification is clarified. Equipped with these results we can then attempt an extrapolation to the strongly coupled heterotic string -- M-theory. We argue that such an extrapolation might be meaningful because of the holomorphic structure of the gauge coupling function and the close connection of the threshold corrections to the anomaly cancelation mechanism.

We consider a class of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories, with gauge group SU(N)xSU(N - M) and fundamental matter content. Duality plays an essential role in analyzing the nonperturbative infrared dynamics of these models. We find that Yukawa couplings drive these theories into the confining phase, and show how the nonperturbative superpotentials arise in the dual picture. We show that the odd-N, M = 2 models with an appropriate tree-level superpotential break supersymmetry.

We show that an explicit map exists for all $z$ and $N$ relating the Lifshitz Chern-Simons theory to the $(n,m)$ element of the KdV hierarchy. Furthermore we show that the map and hence the conserved charges are independent of $z$. We derive these result from the Drinfeld-Sokolov formalism of integrable systems.

We count the supersymmetric bound states of many distinct BPS monopoles in N=4 Yang-Mills theories and in pure N=2 Yang-Mills theories. The novelty here is that we work in generic Coulombic vacua where more than one adjoint Higgs fields are turned on. The number of purely magnetic bound states is again found to be consistent with the electromagnetic duality of the N=4 SU(n) theory, as expected. We also count dyons of generic electric charges, which correspond to 1/4 BPS dyons in N=4 theories and 1/2 BPS dyons in N=2 theories. Surprisingly, the degeneracy of dyons is typically much larger than would be accounted for by a single supermultiplet of appropriate angular momentum, implying many supermutiplets of the same charge and the same mass.

Surprisingly, the degeneracy of dyons is typically much larger than would be accounted for by a single supermultiplet of appropriate angular momentum, implying many supermutiplets of the same charge and the same mass.

We argue that the worldvolume theories of D-branes probing orbifolds with discrete torsion develop, in the large quiver limit, new non-commutative directions. This provides an explicit `deconstruction' of a wide class of noncommutative theories. This also provides insight into the physical meaning of discrete torsion and its relation to the T-dual B field. We demonstrate that the strict large quiver limit reproduces the matrix theory construction of higher-dimensional D-branes, and argue that finite `fuzzy moose' theories provide novel regularizations of non-commutative theories and explicit string theory realizations of gauge theories on fuzzy tori. We also comment briefly on the relation to NCOS, (2,0) and little string theories.

String theory is canonically accompanied with a space-time interpretation which determines S-matrix-like observables, and connects to the standard physics at low energies in the guise of local effective field theory. Recently, we have introduced a reformulation of string theory which does not rely on an {\it a priori} space-time interpretation or a pre-assumption of locality. This \hlt{metastring theory} is formulated in such a way that stringy symmetries (such as T-duality) are realized linearly. In this paper, we study metastring theory on a flat background and develop a variety of technical and interpretational ideas. These include a formulation of the moduli space of Lorentzian worldsheets, a careful study of the symplectic structure and consequently consistent closed and open boundary conditions, and the string spectrum and operator algebra. What emerges from these studies is a new quantum notion of space-time that we refer to as a quantum Lagrangian or equivalently a \hlt{modular space-time}. This concept embodies the standard tenets of quantum theory and implements in a precise way a notion of {relative locality}. The usual string backgrounds (non-compact space-time along with some toroidally compactified spatial directions) are obtained from modular space-time by a limiting procedure that can be thought of as a correspondence limit.

Using E-strings, we can analyze not only six-dimensional superconformal field theories but also probe vacua of non-perturabative heterotic string. We study strings made of D3-branes wrapped on various two-cycles in the global F-theory setup. We claim that E-strings are elementary in the sense that various combinations of E-strings can form M-strings as well as heterotic strings and new kind of strings, called G-strings. Using them, we show that emissions and combinations of heterotic small instantons generate most of known six-dimensional superconformal theories, their affinizations and little string theories. Taking account of global structure of compact internal geometry, we also show that special combinations of E-strings play an important role in constructing six-dimensional theories of $D$- and $E$-types. We check global consistency conditions from anomaly cancellation conditions, both from five-branes and strings, and show that they are given in terms of elementary E-string combinations.

In the limit when one of the spins is infinite there are massless excitations, which govern the infrared worldsheet properties of the model. We obtain a sigma-model of CP^3 with fermions, which describes the dynamics of these massless modes.

Field models with $n$ extra spatial dimensions have a larger $SO(1,3+n)$ Lorentz symmetry which is broken down to the standard $SO(1,3)$ four dimensional one by the compactification process. By considering Lorentz violating operators in a $5D$ supersymmetric Wess-Zumino mo\-del, which otherwise conserve the standard four dimensional Poincare invariance, we show that supersymmetry can be restored upon a simple deformation of the supersymmetric transformations. However, supersymmetry is not preserved in the effective $4D$ theory that arises after compactification when the $5D$ Lorentz violating operators do not preserve $Z_2: y\rightarrow -y$ bulk parity. Our mechanism unveils a possible connection among Lorentz violation and the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. We also show that parity preserving models, on the other hand, do provide well defined supersymmetric KK models.

When electric-type flux threads compact extra dimensions, a quantum nucleation event can break a flux line and initiate a cascade that unwinds many units of flux. Here, we present a novel mechanism for inflation based on this phenomenon. From the 4D point of view, the cascade begins with the formation of a bubble containing an open Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology, but the vacuum energy inside the bubble is initially only slightly reduced, and subsequently decreases gradually throughout the cascade. If the initial flux number Q_0 ~ O(100), during the cascade the universe can undergo N ~ 60 efolds of inflationary expansion with gradually decreasing Hubble constant, producing a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of adiabatic density perturbations with amplitude and tilt consistent with observation, and a potentially observable level of non-Gaussianity and tensor modes. The power spectrum has a small oscillatory component that does not decay away during inflation, with a period set approximately by the light-crossing time of the compact dimension(s). Since the ingredients are fluxes threading compact dimensions, this mechanism fits naturally into the string landscape, but does not appear to suffer from the eta problem or require fine-tuning (beyond the usual anthropic requirement of small vacuum energy after reheating).

In the limit of a large number of flavors, the ground state of the chiral Gross-Neveu model at finite fermion density exhibits a spatially periodic mean field in the form of the chiral spiral, thereby breaking translational invariance. Here we show that the ground state of the same model at finite fermion current density gives rise to a mean field which is periodic in time, a temporal chiral spiral. Since the current density is the same as axial charge density in two dimensions and axial charge is conserved, this may serve as an example of a time crystal. More specifically, as mean field theory is invoked in the large N limit, we are dealing with a semiclassical time crystal.

Starting from the Maldacena-Nunez supergravity dual of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory we study the inclusion of a supersymmetry breaking gaugino mass term. We consider a class of non supersymmetric deformations of the MN solutions which have been recently proposed in the literature. We show that they can be interpreted as corresponding to the inclusion of both a mass and a condensate. We calculate the vacuum energy of the supergravity solutions showing that the N-fold vacuum degeneracy of the N=1 theory is lifted by the inclusion of a mass term.

In this work we systematically enumerate genus one fibrations in the class of 7,890 Calabi-Yau manifolds defined as complete intersections in products of projective spaces, the so-called CICY threefolds. This survey is independent of the description of the manifolds and improves upon past approaches that probed only a particular algebraic form of the threefolds (i.e. searches for "obvious" genus one fibrations as in [1,2]). We also study K3-fibrations and nested fibration structures. That is, K3 fibrations with potentially many distinct elliptic fibrations. To accomplish this survey a number of new geometric tools are developed including a determination of the full topology of all CICY threefolds, including triple intersection numbers. In 2,946 cases this involves finding a new "favorable" description of the manifold in which all divisors descend from a simple ambient space. Our results consist of a survey of obvious fibrations for all CICY threefolds and a complete classification of all genus one fibrations for 4,957 "Kahler favorable" CICYs whose Kahler cones descend from a simple ambient space. Within the CICY dataset, we find 139,597 obvious genus one fibrations, 30,974 obvious K3 fibrations and 208,987 nested combinations. For the Kahler favorable geometries we find a complete classification of 377,559 genus one fibrations.

The gravitational background is assumed slowly varying. The scalar field is assumed to be both massive and massless, with an arbitrary coupling $\xi$ to the scalar curvature and in a zero temperature vacuum state. It is demonstrated that for some values of curvature coupling the stress-energy has the properties needed to support the wormhole geometry.

A theory of degenerate metrics is developed and applied to the problem of unifying gravitation with electromagnetism. The approach is similar to the Kaluza-Klein approach with a fifth dimension, however no ad hoc conditions are needed to explain why the extra dimension is not directly observable under everyday conditions. Maxwell's theory is recovered with differences only at very small length scales, and a new formula is found for the Coulomb potential that is regular everywhere.

In this lecture, I explain the gauge-invariant formulation for perturbations of background spacetimes with untwisted homologous Einstein fibres, which include lots of practically important spacetimes such as static black holes, static black branes and rotating black holes in various dimensions. As applications, we discuss the stability of static black holes in higher dimensions and flat black branes.

By using a solution ansatz we partially decouple the metric and the Stuckelberg sectors of the minimal massive gravity (MMGR). In this scheme for a diagonal physical metric we find the general solutions for the scalars of the theory and the particular fiducial (background) metric which leads to these solutions. Then we adopt this general formalism to construct the derivation of new Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmologies of the theory in the presence of a so-called effective ideal fluid which arises from our solution ansatz as a modifying, non-physical source for the Einstein and the corresponding Friedmann equations.

Supersymmetric localization has lead to remarkable progress in computing quantum corrections to BPS black hole entropy. The program has been successful especially for computing perturbative corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking area formula. In this work, we consider non-perturbative corrections related to polar states in the Rademacher expansion, which describes the entropy in the microcanonical ensemble. We propose that these non-perturbative effects can be identified with a new family of saddles in the localization of the quantum entropy path integral. We argue that these saddles, which are euclidean $AdS_2\times S^1\times S^2$ geometries, arise after turning on singular fluxes in M-theory on a Calabi-Yau. They cease to exist after a certain amount of flux, resulting in a finite number of geometries; the bound on that number is in precise agreement with the stringy exclusion principle. Localization of supergravity on these backgrounds gives rise to a finite tail of Bessel functions in agreement with the Rademacher expansion. As a check of our proposal, we test our results against well-known microscopic formulas for one-eighth and one-quarter BPS black holes in $\mathcal{N}=8$ and $\mathcal{N}=4$ string theory respectively, finding agreement. Our method breaks down precisely when mock-modular effects are expected in the entropy of one-quarter BPS dyons and we comment upon this. Furthermore, we mention possible applications of these results, including an exact formula for the entropy of four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ black holes.

The relation between Gribov ambiguity and degeneracies in the symplectic structure of physical systems is analyzed.

Finding Ricci-flat (Calabi-Yau) metrics is a long standing problem in geometry with deep implications for string theory and phenomenology. A new attack on this problem uses neural networks to engineer approximations to the Calabi-Yau metric within a given K\"ahler class. In this paper we investigate numerical Ricci-flat metrics over smooth and singular K3 surfaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds. Using these Ricci-flat metric approximations for the Cefal\'u family of quartic twofolds and the Dwork family of quintic threefolds, we study characteristic forms on these geometries. We observe that the numerical stability of the numerically computed topological characteristic is heavily influenced by the choice of the neural network model, in particular, we briefly discuss a different neural network model, namely Spectral networks, which correctly approximate the topological characteristic of a Calabi-Yau. Using persistent homology, we show that high curvature regions of the manifolds form clusters near the singular points. For our neural network approximations, we observe a Bogomolov--Yau type inequality $3c_2 \geq c_1^2$ and observe an identity when our geometries have isolated $A_1$ type singularities. We sketch a proof that $\chi(X~\smallsetminus~\mathrm{Sing}\,{X}) + 2~|\mathrm{Sing}\,{X}| = 24$ also holds for our numerical approximations.

Path integral representation for the corresponding superpropagator is constructed and proven to involve the Siegel action in a gauge fixed form. It is shown that higher order fermionic constraints intrinsic in the theory, though being a consequence of others in $d=4$, make a crucial contribution into the path integral.

We find that they depend on the parity of $n_c$ and $n_f$, the global form of the gauge group, and the discrete theta angle. The contribution from the fermions plays a central role in our analysis. Furthermore, our conclusion applies to $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric cases as well, and we see that higher symmetries and anomalies match across the Intriligator-Seiberg duality between $\mathfrak{so}(2n_c)\leftrightarrow\mathfrak{so}(2n_f-2n_c+4)$.

A metric is introduced on the space of parameters (couplings) describing the large N limit of the O(N) model in Euclidean space. The geometry associated with this metric is analysed in the particular case of the infinite volume limit in 3 dimensions and it is shown that the Ricci curvature diverges at the ultra-violet (Gaussian) fixed point but is finite and tends to constant negative curvature at the infra-red (Wilson-Fisher) fixed point. The renormalisation group flow is examined in terms of geodesics of the metric. The critical line of cross-over from the Wilson-Fisher fixed point to the Gaussian fixed point is shown to be a geodesic but all other renormalisation group trajectories, which are repulsed from the Gaussian fixed point in the ultra-violet, are not geodesics. The geodesic flow is interpreted in terms of a maximisation principle for the relative entropy.

We bootstrap one-loop string corrections to the four-point function of half-BPS operators in a 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT with flavour group $SO(8)$, dual to gluon scattering at genus one on AdS$_5\times$S$^3$. We identify an 8-dimensional organising principle which governs the spectrum of double-trace anomalous dimensions, valid to all orders in the string length. This has precise implications for the structure of one-loop Mellin amplitudes, which we explicitly compute for the first three orders beyond the field-theory limit. We also consider the corresponding position space representation, which is entirely determined by the square of a certain differential operator acting on a simpler "pre-correlator". Finally, we show that the flat-space limit of the Mellin amplitudes exactly matches the logarithmic terms of the genus-one amplitude in 8-dimensional flat space, which we compute via a partial-wave analysis.

This forces the infinite tower of higher-dimension operators to lie inside a new geometry we call the "EFThedron". We initiate a systematic investigation of the boundary structure of the EFThedron, giving infinitely many linear and non-linear inequalities that must be satisfied by the EFT expansion in any theory.

Inspired by holographic Wilsonian renormalization, we propose a novel perspective on the low-energy effective actions of confining gauge theories with gravity duals. By identifying the IR-boundary value of a certain bulk field as overlapping with the lightest mode of the field theory, we derive its on-shell effective action by integrating over the rest of the geometry. We illustrate the details of this formalism by computing chiral Lagrangian coefficients in a simple AdS/QCD toy model, finding agreement with previous results. At higher orders we obtain new results in that model, including a closed form for the four-pion scattering amplitude to all orders in momentum. Finally, we reformulate our method in terms of bulk Feynman diagrams.

We investigate the background field method with the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, to generalize known results, study parametric completeness and achieve a better understanding of several properties. In particular, we study renormalization and gauge dependence to all orders. Switching between the background field approach and the usual approach by means of canonical transformations, we prove parametric completeness without making use of cohomological theorems, namely show that if the starting classical action is sufficiently general all divergences can be subtracted by means of parameter redefinitions and canonical transformations. Our approach applies to renormalizable and non-renormalizable theories that are manifestly free of gauge anomalies and satisfy the following assumptions: the gauge algebra is irreducible and closes off shell, the gauge transformations are linear functions of the fields, and closure is field-independent. Yang-Mills theories and quantum gravity in arbitrary dimensions are included, as well as effective and higher-derivative versions of them, but several other theories, such as supergravity, are left out.

We investigate the background field method with the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, to generalize known results, study parametric completeness and achieve a better understanding of several properties. In particular, we study renormalization and gauge dependence to all orders. Switching between the background field approach and the usual approach by means of canonical transformations, we prove parametric completeness without making use of cohomological theorems, namely show that if the starting classical action is sufficiently general all divergences can be subtracted by means of parameter redefinitions and canonical transformations. Our approach applies to renormalizable and non-renormalizable theories that are manifestly free of gauge anomalies and satisfy the following assumptions: the gauge algebra is irreducible and closes off shell, the gauge transformations are linear functions of the fields, and closure is field-independent. Yang-Mills theories and quantum gravity in arbitrary dimensions are included, as well as effective and higher-derivative versions of them, but several other theories, such as supergravity, are left out.

We give a very simple derivation of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) index theorem and its small generalization by using the path integral of massless Dirac fermions. It is based on the Fujikawa's argument for the relation between the axial anomaly and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, and only a minor modification of that argument is sufficient to show the APS index theorem. The key ingredient is the identification of the APS boundary condition and its generalization as physical state vectors in the Hilbert space of the massless fermion theory. The APS $\eta$-invariant appears as the axial charge of the physical states.

We discuss the factorization and continuity properties of fields in the Euclidean gravitational path integral with higher dimension operators constructed from powers of the Riemann tensor. We construct the boundary terms corresponding to the microcanonical ensemble and show that the saddle point approximation to the path integral with a quasilocal energy constraint generally yields a saddle point with discontinuous temperature. This extends a previous result for the Euclidean Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry in Einstein gravity and shows that it is robust against at least some types of quantum corrections from heavy fields. As an application, we compute the entropy of SdS in $\text{D}=4$ using the BTZ method. Our result matches the entropy calculated using Wald's formula.

We present a class of dynamical solutions for an intersecting D4-D8 brane system in ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity. The dynamical solutions reduces to a static warped AdS_6 x S^4 geometry in a certain spacetime region. We also consider lower-dimensional effective theories for the warped compactification of general p-brane system. It is found that an effective (p+1)-dimensional description is not possible in general due to the entanglement of the transverse coordinates and the (p+1)-dimensional coordinates in the metric components. Then we discuss cosmological solutions. We find a solution that behaves like a Kasner-type cosmological solution at $\tau\to\infty$, while it reduces to a warped static solution at $\tau\to0$, where $\tau$ is the cosmic time.

The strongly coupled dynamics of black hole formation in bulk AdS is conjectured to be dual to the thermalization of a weakly interacting CFT on the boundary for low $N$ which, for $N\to\infty$, becomes strongly coupled. We search for this thermalization effect by utilizing the D1D5 CFT to compute effective string interactions for $N=2$. This is done by turning on a marginal deformation of the theory which twists together or untwists effective strings. For a system to thermalize, the initial state, which is far from thermal, must redistribute it's energy via interactions until a thermal state is achieved. In our case, we consider excited states of the effective strings. We compute splitting amplitudes for 1) one excitation going to three excitations and 2) two excitations going to four excitations using two insertions of the deformation. Scenario 1) corresponds to a single particle moving in AdS. Scenario 2) corresponds to two particles moving and colliding in AdS. We find that the `1 to 3' amplitude has terms which oscillate with time, $t$, where $t$ is the duration of the two deformations. We find that the `2 to 4' amplitude has similar oscillatory terms as well as secular terms which grow like $t^2$. For this case the growth implies that for large $t$ the excitations in the initial state, which carry a given energy, prefer to redistribute themselves amongst lower energy modes in the final state. This is a key feature of thermalization. Albeit in a simplified setting, we therefore argue that we have identified the thermalization vertex in the D1D5 CFT, which after repeated applications, should lead to thermalization. This ultimately maps to two particles colliding and forming a black hole in AdS, which in our case, is a fuzzball.

Relaxing the Bondi gauge, the solution space of three-dimensional gravity in the metric formulation has been shown to contain an additional free function that promotes the boundary metric to a Lorentz or Carroll frame, in asymptotically AdS or flat spacetimes. We pursue this analysis and show that the solution space also admits a finite symplectic structure, obtained taking advantage of the built-in ambiguities. The smoothness of the flat limit of the AdS symplectic structure selects a prescription in which the holographic anomaly appears in the boundary Lorentz symmetry, that rotates the frame. This anomaly turns out to be cohomologically equivalent to the standard holographic Weyl anomaly and survives in the flat limit, thus predicting the existence of quantum anomalies in conformal Carrollian field theories. We also revisit these results in the Chern--Simons formulation, where the prescription for the symplectic structure admitting a smooth flat limit follows from the variational principle, and we compute the charge algebra in the boundary conformal gauge.

A concise survey is given of the general method of reduction in the number of coupling parameters. Theories with several independent couplings are related to a set of theories with a single coupling. The reduced theories may or may not have particular symmetries. A few have asymptotic power series expansions, others contain non-integer powers and/or logarithmic factors. An example is given with two power series solutions, one with N = 2 Supersymmetry, and one with no known symmetry. In a second example, the reduced Yukawa coupling of the superpotential in a dual magnetic supersymmetric gauge theory is uniquely given by the square of the magnetic gauge coupling with a known factor.

It has been known that the Wigner representation theory for positive energy orbits permits a useful localization concept in terms of certain lattices of real subspaces of the complex Hilbert -space. This ''modular localization'' is not only useful in order to construct interaction-free nets of local algebras without using non-unique ''free field coordinates'', but also permits the study of properties of localization and braid-group statistics in low-dimensional QFT. It also sheds some light on the string-like localization properties of the 1939 Wigner's ''continuous spin'' representations.We formulate a constructive nonperturbative program to introduce interactions into such an approach based on the Tomita-Takesaki modular theory. The new aspect is the deep relation of the latter with the scattering operator.

In this note, following [arXiv:1905.08255, arXiv:1905.08762, arXiv:1908.10996], we introduce and study various holographic systems which can describe evaporating black holes. The systems we consider are boundary conformal field theories for which the number of local degrees of freedom on the boundary ($c_{bdy}$) is large compared to the number of local degrees of freedom in the bulk CFT ($c_{bulk}$). We consider states where the boundary degrees of freedom on their own would describe an equilibrium black hole, but the coupling to the bulk CFT degrees of freedom allows this black hole to evaporate. The Page time for the black hole is controlled by the ratio $c_{bdy}/c_{bulk}$. Using both holographic calculations and direct CFT calculations, we study the evolution of the entanglement entropy for the subset of the radiation system (i.e. the bulk CFT) at a distance $d > a$ from the boundary. We find that the entanglement entropy for this subsystem increases until time $a + t_{Page}$ and then undergoes a phase transition after which the entanglement wedge of the radiation system includes the black hole interior. Remarkably, this occurs even if the radiation system is initially at the same temperature as the black hole so that the two are in thermal equilibrium. In this case, even though the black hole does not lose energy, it "radiates" information through interaction with the radiation system until the radiation system contains enough information to reconstruct the black hole interior.

We analyze homogeneous anisotropic cosmology driven by the dilaton and the self-interacting ``massive'' antisymmetric tensor field which are indispensable bosonic degrees with the graviton in the NS-NS sector of string theories with D-branes. We found the attractor solutions for this system, which show the overall features of general solutions, and confirmed it through numerical analysis. The dilaton possesses the potential due to the presence of the D-brane and the curvature of extra dimensions. In the presence of the non-vanishing antisymmetric tensor field, the homogeneous universe expands anisotropically while the D-brane term dominates. The isotropy is recovered as the dilaton rolls down and the curvature term dominates. With the stabilizing potential for the dilaton, the isotropy can also be recovered.

We consider the deformations of ``monomial solutions'' to Generalized Kontsevich Model \cite{KMMMZ91a,KMMMZ91b} and establish the relation between the flows generated by these deformations with those of $N=2$ Landau-Ginzburg topological theories. We prove that the partition function of a generic Generalized Kontsevich Model can be presented as a product of some ``quasiclassical'' factor and non-deformed partition function which depends only on the sum of Miwa transformed and flat times. This result is important for the restoration of explicit $p-q$ symmetry in the interpolation pattern between all the $(p,q)$-minimal string models with $c<1$ and for revealing its integrable structure in $p$-direction, determined by deformations of the potential. It also implies the way in which supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models are embedded into the general context of GKM. From the point of view of integrable theory these deformations present a particular case of what is called equivalent hierarchies.

We consider the deformations of ``monomial solutions'' to Generalized Kontsevich Model \cite{KMMMZ91a,KMMMZ91b} and establish the relation between the flows generated by these deformations with those of $N=2$ Landau-Ginzburg topological theories. We prove that the partition function of a generic Generalized Kontsevich Model can be presented as a product of some ``quasiclassical'' factor and non-deformed partition function which depends only on the sum of Miwa transformed and flat times. This result is important for the restoration of explicit $p-q$ symmetry in the interpolation pattern between all the $(p,q)$-minimal string models with $c<1$ and for revealing its integrable structure in $p$-direction, determined by deformations of the potential. It also implies the way in which supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models are embedded into the general context of GKM. From the point of view of integrable theory these deformations present a particular case of what is called equivalent hierarchies.

For a large class of finite W algebras, the defining relations of a Yangian are proved to be satisfied. Therefore such finite W algebras appear as realisations of Yangians. This result is useful to determine properties of such W algebra representations.

The integrability of the N-cosine model, a N-field generalization of the sine-Gordon model, is investigated. We establish to first order in conformal perturbation theory that, for arbitrary N, the model possesses a quantum conserved current of Lorentz spin 3 on a submanifold of the parameter space where the interaction becomes marginal. The integrability of the model on this submanifold is further studied using renormalization techniques. It is shown that for N = 2, 3, and 4 there exist special points on the marginal manifold at which the N-cosine model is equivalent to models of Gross-Neveu type and therefore is integrable. In the 2-field case we further argue that the points mentioned above exhaust all integrable cases on the marginal submanifold.

In this review we propose a new perspective to demonstrate Gross conjecture on high energy symmetry of string theory. We review the construction of the exact string scattering amplitudes (SSA) of three tachyons and one arbitrary string state, or the Lauricella SSA (LSSA), in the 26D open bosonic string theory. These LSSA form an infinite dimensional representation of the SL(K+3,C) group. Moreover, we show that the SL(K+3,C) group can be used to solve all the LSSA and express them in terms of one amplitude. As an application in the hard scattering limit, the LSSA can be used to directly prove Gross conjecture which was previously corrected and proved by the method of decoupling of zero norm states (ZNS). Finally, the exact LSSA can be used to rederive the recurrence relations of SSA in the Regge scattering limit with associated SL(5,C) symmetry and the extended recurrence relations (including the mass and spin dependent string BCJ relations) in the nonrelativistic scattering limit with associated SL(4,C) symmetry discovered recently.

We analyse a class of four-dimensional heterotic ground states with N=2 space-time supersymmetry. From the ten-dimensional perspective, such models can be viewed as compactifications on a six-dimensional manifold with SU(2) holonomy, which is locally but not globally K3 x T^2. The maximal N=4 supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N=2. The masses of the two massive gravitinos depend on the (T,U) moduli of T^2. We evaluate the one-loop threshold corrections of gauge and R^2 couplings and we show that they fall in several universality classes, in contrast to what happens in usual K3 x T^2 compactifications, where the N=4 supersymmetry is explicitly broken to N=2, and where a single universality class appears. These universality properties follow from the structure of the elliptic genus. The behaviour of the threshold corrections as functions of the moduli is analysed in detail: it is singular across several rational lines of the T^2 moduli because of the appearance of extra massless states, and suffers only from logarithmic singularities at large radii. These features differ substantially from the ordinary K3 x T^2 compactifications, thereby reflecting the existence of spontaneously-broken N=4 supersymmetry. Although our results are valid in the general framework defined above, we also point out several properties, specific to orbifold constructions, which might be of phenomenological relevance.

The underlying gauge group structure of the D=11 Cremmer-Julia-Scherk supergravity becomes manifest when its three-form field A_3 is expressed through a set of one-form gauge fields. These are associated with the generators of the elements of a family of enlarged supersymmetry algebras $\tilde{\mathfrak{E}}^{(528|32+32)}(s)$ parametrized by a real number s. We study in detail the composite structure of A_3 extending previous results by D'Auria and Fr\'e, stress the equivalence of the above problem to the trivialization of a standard supersymmetry algebra ${\mathfrak{E}}^{(11|32)}$ cohomology four-cocycle on the enlarged ${\tilde {\mathfrak{E}}}^{(528|32+32)}(s)$ superalgebras, and discuss its possible dynamical consequences. To this aim we consider the properties of the first order supergravity action with a composite A_3 field and find the set of extra gauge symmetries that guarantee that the field theoretical degrees of freedom of the theory remain the same as with a fundamental A_3. The extra gauge symmetries are also present in the so-called rheonomic treatment of the first order D=11 supergravity action when A_3 is composite. Our considerations on the composite structure of A_3 provide one more application of the idea that there exists an extended superspace coordinates/fields correspondence. They also suggest that there is a possible embedding of D=11 supergravity into a theory defined on the enlarged superspace ${\tilde{\Sigma}}^{(528|32+32)}(s)$.

We perform complex analyses of the gluon propagator at nonzero quark chemical potential in the long-wavelength limit, using an effective model with a gluon mass term of the Landau-gauge Yang-Mills theory, which is a Landau-gauge limit of the Curci-Ferrari model with quantum corrections being included within the one-loop level. We mainly investigate complex poles of the gluon propagator, which could be relevant to confinement. Around typical values of the model parameters, we show that the gluon propagator has one or two pairs of complex conjugate poles depending on the value of the chemical potential. In addition to a pair similar to that in the case of zero chemical potential, a new pair appears near the real axis when the chemical potential is roughly between the effective quark mass and the effective gluon mass of the model. We discuss possible interpretations of these poles. Additionally, we prove the uniqueness of analytic continuation of the Matsubara propagator to a class of functions that vanish at infinity and are holomorphic except for a finite number of complex poles and singularities on the real axis.

We study the conformal invariance of inflationary non-Gaussianities associated with scalar fluctuations in a non-Bunch-Davies initial state, known as the $\alpha$-vacuum, in single-field slow-roll inflation. The $\alpha$-vacuum is a one-parameter family of states, including the Bunch-Davies one, that preserves the conformal symmetry of inflationary dynamics in a nearly de-Sitter space-time. Working within the leading slow-roll approximation, we compute the four-point scalar correlator (the trispectrum) in $\alpha$-vacuum using the in-in formalism. We check that the conformal Ward identities are met between the three and four-point scalar $\alpha$-vacua correlators. Surprisingly, this contrasts the previously reported negative result of the Ward identities being violated between the two and the three-point correlators. We have also extended the wave-functional method, previously used for correlators with Bunch-Davies initial condition, to compute the three and four-point scalar correlators in $\alpha$-vacua. The results obtained from the wave-function method match the corresponding in-in results, adding further justification to our check of Ward identities with $\alpha$-vacua correlators.

The most general vacuum solution to Einstein's field equations with no incoming radiation can be constructed perturbatively from two infinite sets of canonical multipole moments, which are found to be mapped into each other under gravitational electric-magnetic duality at the non-linear level. We demonstrate that in non-radiative regions such spacetimes are completely characterized by a set of conserved celestial charges that consist of the Geroch-Hansen multipole moments, the generalized BMS charges and additional celestial multipoles accounting for subleading memory effects. Transitions among non-radiative regions, induced by radiative processes, are therefore labelled by celestial charges, which are identified in terms of canonical multipole moments of the linearized gravitational field. The dictionary between celestial charges and canonical multipole moments allows to holographically reconstruct the metric in de Donder, Newman-Unti or Bondi gauge outside of sources.

We calculate quantum corrections to the entropy of four-dimensional de Sitter space induced by higher-derivative terms in the gravitational action and by one-loop effects. Employing the intertwinement in semiclassical gravity of Euclidean de Sitter and anti-de Sitter saddles, we embed effective de Sitter gravity theories in M-theory and express the entropy in terms of the regularized Euclidean anti-de Sitter action on an auxiliary $\mathrm{EAdS}_4 \times S^7/\mathbb{Z}_k$ background. We conjecture that the partition function of the holographically dual 3d ABJM CFT determines the explicit form of the corrections to the de Sitter entropy. This includes a logarithmic term, the coefficient of which, we show, agrees with an independent one-loop calculation around the $-S^4 \times S^7/\mathbb{Z}_k$ Euclidean de Sitter saddle. This provides evidence that the microscopic degrees of freedom behind the entropy of four-dimensional de Sitter space in gravitational theories with a holographic dual description are encapsulated by the path integral of the Euclidean CFT on the three-sphere.

We analyse the back reaction of the matter field on the space-time geometry up to first order in metric perturbation. The expectation value of the stress-energy tensor can be computed exactly by considering its pull-back onto the covering space. Upon a suitable choice of the boundary condition on the vector field around a non-contractible cycle of the quotient manifold it is possible to obtain the average energy on a null geodesic to be negative there by resulting a traversable wormhole.

This formulation is based on a set of supertwistor variables involving pure spinors and a set of constraints previously introduced in the context of the $D=10$ superparticle following a ten-dimensional twistor-like construction introduced by Berkovits. We perform a detailed quantum-mechanical analysis of the constraint algebra, we show that the corresponding central charges vanish, and after considering a convenient gauge fixing procedure, physical states are found. Vertex operators are explicitly constructed and, by noticing a relation with the standard pure spinor formalism, scattering amplitudes are shown to correctly describe $D=10$ super-Yang-Mills interactions. As in other ambitwistor string models, amplitudes are found to be localized on the support of the scattering equations, and thus this work provides a bridge between Berkovits' construction and the Cachazo-He-Yuan formulae. After extending the pure spinor twistor transform to include an additional supersymmetry, our results are immediately generalized to Type IIB supergravity.

We study the relation between the Type IIB (NSNS and RR) 2-form fields and the (complex) gauge coupling constant of the 4D N=2 SU(Nc) super Yang-Mills theory with Nf fundamental matters. We start from the analysis of the D2-brane world volume theory with heavy Nc quarks on the Nf D6 supergravity background. After a sequence of T- and S-dualities, we obtain the (generalized) 2-forms in the configuration with Nc D5-branes wrapping on the vanishing two-cycle under the influence of the background. These 2-forms shows the same behavior as the gauge coupling constant of the 4D N=2 super QCD. The background reduces to the Z_{Nf} orbifold in the twelve-dimensional space-time formally realized by introducing the two parameters as the additional space coordinates. The 10D gravity dual is suggested as the 2D flip in this twelve-dimensional space-time. In the case of Nf=2Nc, this gravity dual becomes AdS_5 \times S^5/Z_2 with D3-charge which depends on the constant generalized NSNS 2-form. This is the result expected from the M-theory QCD configuration. Based on the known exact result, we also discuss this configuration after including the nonperturbative effect.

We construct it from the action of $U_q(sl_n)$ on the $q$-symmetric algebra $A_q(Mat_n)$ by the Borel-Weil like approach.

In this paper, based on the basic principles of thermodynamics, we explore the hydrodynamic regime of interacting Lifshitz field theories in the presence of broken rotational invariance. We compute the entropy current and discover new dissipative effects those are consistent with the principle of local entropy production in the fluid. In our analysis, we consider both the parity even as well as the parity odd sector upto first order in the derivative expansion. Finally, we argue that the present construction of the paper could be systematically identified as that of the hydrodynamic description associated with \textit{spin waves} (away from the domain of quantum criticality) under certain limiting conditions.

The physics of individual Q-balls and interactions between multiple Q-balls are well-studied in classical numerical simulations. Interesting properties and phenomena have been discovered, involving stability, forces, collisions and swapping of charge between different components of multi-Q-ball systems. We investigate these phenomena in quantum field theory, including quantum corrections to leading order in a 2PI coupling expansion, the inhomogeneous Hartree approximation. The presence of quantum modes and new decay channels allows the mean-field Q-ball to exchange charge with the quantum modes, and also alters the charge swapping frequencies of the composite Q-balls. It is also observed that the periodic exchanges between the mean-field and quantum modes tend to be quenched by collisions between Q-balls. We illustrate how the classical limit arises through a scaling of the Q-ball potential, making quantum corrections negligible for large-amplitude Q-balls.

In this paper we investigate the bosonic current induced by a brane and a magnetic flux running along the idealized cosmic string in a $(D+1)$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) background. We consider the brane is parallel to the AdS boundary and the cosmic string is orthogonal to them. Moreover, we assume that on the brane the charged bosonic field obeys the Robin boundary condition. The brane divides the space into two regions with different properties of the vacuum state. We show that the only nonzero component of the current density is along the azimuthal direction in both regions. In order to develop this analysis we calculate, for both regions, the positive frequency Wightman functions. Both functions present a part associated with the AdS in presence of a cosmic string only, and the other part induced by the brane. In this paper we consider only the contributions induced by the brane. We show that in both regions the azimuthal current densities are odd functions of the magnetic flux along the string. Different analytic and numerical analysis are performed and an application of our results is provided for the Randall-Sundrum braneworld model with a single brane.

We study D-branes in SU(2) WZW model by means of the boundary state techniques. We realize the ``fuzzy sphere'' configuration of multiple D0-branes as the boundary state with the insertion of suitable Wilson line. By making use of the path-integral representation we show that this boundary state preserves the appropriate boundary conditions and leads to the Cardy state describing a spherical D2-brane under the semi-classical approximation. This result directly implies that the spherical D2-brane in SU(2) WZW model can be well described as the bound state of D0-branes. After presenting the supersymmetric extension, we also investigate the BPS and the non-BPS configurations of D-branes in the NS5 background. We demonstrate that the non-BPS configurations are actually unstable, since they always possess the open string tachyons. We further notice that the stable BPS bound state constructed by the tachyon condensation is naturally interpreted as the brane configuration of fuzzy sphere.

In M-theory on $S^1/Z_2$, we point out that to be consistant, we should keep the scale, gauge couplings and soft terms at next order, and obtain the soft term relations: $M_{1/2} = -A$, $|{{M_{0}}/{M_{1/2}}}| \leq {1/{\sqrt 3}}$ in the standard embedding and $M_{1/2}=-A$ in the non-standard embedding with five branes and $K_{5,n}=0$. We construct a toy compactification model which includes higher order terms in 4-dimensional Lagrangian in standard embedding, and discuss its scale, gauge couplings, soft terms, and show that the higher order terms do affect the scale, gauge couplings and especially the soft terms if the next order correction was not small. We also construct a toy compactification model in non-standard embedding with five branes and discuss its phenomenology. We argue that one might not push the physical Calabi-Yau manifold's volume to zero at any point along the eleventh dimension.

We consider the type I theory compactified on $T^3$. When the D5-brane wraps the $T^3$ it yields a D2-brane in seven dimensions. In the leading approximation the moduli space of vacua of the three dimensional field theory on the brane is $T^4/\ZZ_2$. The dual M theory description of this theory is a compactification on K3 and our 2-brane is the eleven dimensional 2-brane at a point in K3. We use this fact to conclude that strong coupling IR effects in the three dimensional theory on the brane turn its moduli space into a K3. This interpretation allows us to solve various strongly coupled gauge theories in three dimensions by identifying their Coulomb branch with a piece of a (sometime singular) K3.

We reduce M-theory on a G_2 orbifold with co-dimension four singularities, taking explicitly into account the additional gauge fields at the singularities. As a starting point, we use 11-dimensional supergravity coupled to seven-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory, as derived in a previous paper. The resulting four-dimensional theory has N=1 supersymmetry with non-Abelian N=4 gauge theory sub-sectors. We present explicit formulae for the Kahler potential, gauge-kinetic function and superpotential. In the four-dimensional theory, blowing-up of the orbifold is described by a Higgs effect induced by continuation along D-flat directions. Using this interpretation, we show that our results are consistent with the corresponding ones obtained for smooth G_2 spaces. In addition, we consider the effects of switching on flux and Wilson lines on singular loci of the G_2 space, and we discuss the relation to N=4 SYM theory.

We study the relationship between M theory on a nearly lightlike circle and U(N) gauge theory in p+1 dimensions. We define large N limits of these theories in which low energy supergravity is valid. The regularity of these limits implies an infinite series of nonrenormalization theorems for the gauge theory effective action, and the leading large N terms sum to a Born-Infeld form. Compatibility of two different large N limits that describe the same decompactified M theory leads to a conjecture for a relation between two limits of string theories.

A generalization of the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) for fermionic degrees of freedom is proposed.

We study half-BPS surface operators in 5d N=1 gauge theories compactified on a circle. Using localization methods and the twisted chiral ring relations of coupled 3d/5d quiver gauge theories, we calculate the twisted chiral superpotential that governs the infrared properties of these surface operators. We make a detailed analysis of the localization integrand, and by comparing with the results from the twisted chiral ring equations obtain constraints on the 3d and 5d Chern-Simons levels so that the instanton partition function does not depend on the choice of integration contour. For these values of the Chern-Simons couplings, we comment on how the distinct quiver theories that realize the same surface operator are related to each other by Aharony-Seiberg dualities.

In a previous paper we showed that the absence of the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity as M^2 -> 0 for massive spin-2 with a Lambda term is an artifact of the tree approximation, and that the discontinuity reappears at one loop, as a result of going from five degrees of freedom to two. In this paper we show that a similar classical continuity but quantum discontinuity arises in the "partially massless" limit M^2 -> 2Lambda/3, as a result of going from five degrees of freedom to four.

After the short survey of the Klein Paradox in 3-dimensional relativistic equations, we present a detailed consideration of Dirac modified equation, which follows by one particle infinite overweighting in Salpeter Equation. It is shown, that the separation of angular variables and reduction to radial equation is possible by using standard methods in momentum space. The kernel of the obtained radial equation differs from that of spinless Salpeter equation in bounded regular factor. That is why the equation has solutions of confined type for infinitely increasing potential.

We discuss type II and type I branes at general ADE type orbifold singularities. We show that there are new phases of type I or heterotic string theory in six dimensions, involving extra tensor multiplets, which arise when small instantons sit on orbifold singularities. The theories with extra tensor multiplets are explicitly constructed via orientifolds. The world-volume theories in type IIB or type I five-branes at orbifold singularities lead to the existence of several infinite classes of six dimensional, interacting, renormalization group fixed point theories.

The heat kernel for the spin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger gauge field on an arbitrary Ricci flat space-time ($d>2$) is investigated in a family of covariant gauges with one gauge parameter $\alpha$. The $\alpha$-dependent term of the kernel is expressed by the spin-1/2 heat kernel. It is shown that the axial anomaly and the one-loop divegence of the action are $\alpha$-independent, and that the conformal anomaly has an $\alpha$-dependent total derivative term in $d=2m\geq6$ dimensions.

A new type of non-Abelian generalization of the Born-Infeld action is proposed, in which the spacetime indices and group indices are combined. The action is manifestly Lorentz and gauge invariant. In its power expansion, the lowest order term is the Yang-Mills action and the second term corresponds to the bosonic stringy correction to this action. Solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equation for the SU(2) case are considered and we show that there exists an instanton-like solution which has winding number one and finite action.

In this paper, we study the influence of an external magnetic field in holographic QCD models where the backreaction is modeled in via an appropriate choice of the background metric. We add a phenomenological soft wall dilaton to incorporate better IR behavior (confinement). Elaborating on previous studies conducted by [JHEP 1505 (2015) 121], we first discuss the Hawking-Page transition, the dual of the deconfinement transition, as a function of the magnetic field. We confirm that the critical deconfinement temperature can drop with the magnetic field. Secondly, we study the quark condensate holographically as a function of the applied magnetic field and demonstrate that this model does not exhibit inverse magnetic catalysis at the level of the chiral transition. The quest for a holographic QCD model that qualitatively describes the inverse magnetic catalysis at finite temperature is thus still open. Throughout this work, we pay special attention to the different holographic parameters and we attempt to fix them by making the link to genuine QCD as close as possible. This leads to several unanticipated and so far overlooked complications (such as the relevance of an additional length scale in the confined geometry) that we discuss in detail.

The two-loop anomalous dimension of the chiral matter superfields is calculated for a general ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory regularized by higher covariant derivatives. We obtain both the anomalous dimension defined in terms of the bare couplings, and the one defined in terms of the renormalized couplings for an arbitrary renormalization prescription. For the one-loop finite theories we find a simple relation between the higher derivative regulators under which the anomalous dimension defined in terms of the bare couplings vanishes in the considered approximation. In this case the one-loop finite theory is also two-loop finite in the HD+MSL scheme. Using the assumption that with the higher covariant derivative regularization the NSVZ equation is satisfied for RGFs defined in terms of the bare couplings, we construct the expression for the three-loop $\beta$-function. Again, the result is written both for the $\beta$-function defined in terms of the bare couplings and for the one defined in terms of the renormalized couplings for an arbitrary renormalization prescription.

To this end we explicitly construct elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds as complete intersections in a toric ambient space. Toric methods enable us to control the singular geometry of the SU(5) GUT model. The GUT brane wraps a non-generic del Pezzo surface admitting GUT symmetry breaking via hypercharge flux. It is contractible to a curve and we demonstrate the existence of a consistent decoupling limit.
