Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that the Anti-de Sitter (AdS) rotating (Kerr) black holes in five and seven dimensions provide us with examples of non-trivial field theories which are scale, but not conformally invariant. This is demonstrated by our computation of the actions and the stress-energy tensors of the four and six dimensional field theories residing on the boundary of these Kerr-AdS black holes spacetimes.

Ordinary QED formulated in the Feynman's space-time picture is equivalent to a one dimensional field theory. In the large N limit there is no phase transition in such a theory. In this letter, we show a phase transition does exist in a generalization of QED characterized by the addition of the curvature of the world line (rigidity) to the Feynman's space-time action. The large distance scale of the disordered phase essentially coincides with ordinary QED, while the ordered phase is strongly coupled. Although rigid QED exhibits the typical pathologies of higher derivative theories at the classical level, we show that both phases of the quantum theory are free of ghosts and tachyons. Quantum fluctuations prevent taking the naive classical limit and inherting the problems of the classical theory.

An update is given on our long-term effort to perform a three-loop check on the Affleck-Alvarez-Manton/Lebedev-Ritus exponentiation conjecture for the imaginary part of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, using 1+1 dimensional QED as a toy model. After reviewing the history and significance of the conjecture, we present trigonometric integral representations for the single electron loop contributions to the three-loop Lagrangian, and develop a symmetry-based method for the calculation of their weak-field expansion coefficients.

In these lectures we introduce some of the principles and techniques that are relevant for the determination of the entropy of extremal black holes by either string theory or supergravity. We consider such black holes with N=2 and N=4 supersymmetry, explaining how agreement is obtained for both the terms that are leading and those that are subleading in the limit of large charges. We discuss the relevance of these results in the context of the more recent developments.

We find a permutation relation among Yangian Invariants -- two Yangian Invariants with adjacent external lines exchanged are related by a simple kinematic factor. This relation is shown to be equivalent to U(1) decoupling and Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) relation at the level of maximal helicity violating (MHV) amplitudes. Together with the newly found permutation relation and using unitarity cuts to remove ambiguity in the definition of loop momenta of cut amplitudes due to the nonplanar legs, we propose a systematic way of reconstructing the the integrands of nonplanar MHV amplitudes up to a rational function which vanishes under all possible unitarity cuts. This method when applied to planar diagrams reproduces results from the single cut method. As explicit examples the construction of one-loop double-trace MHV amplitudes of 4- and 5-point interactions are presented using on-shell diagrams. The kinematic factors and the resultant planar diagrams are carefully dealt with using the unitarity cut condition. The first next-to-MHV amplitudes are addressed using generalized unitarity cuts. Their leading singularities can be identified as residues of the Grassmanian integral. This example also serve to demonstrate the power of the newly found relation of Yangian Invariants.

We consider resurgence for the nonconformal Bjorken flow with Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics on the extended relaxation-time approximation. We firstly consider full formal transseries expanded around the equilibrium and then construct the resurgent relation by looking to the structure of Borel transformed ODEs. We form a conjecture of the resurgent relation based on the considerations that Stokes constants constituting of the resurgent relation originate only from singularities of dissipative variables on the Borel plane and that the other variables such as temperature and chemical potential become Borel nonsummable through nonlinear terms with the dissipative variables. We numerically check the conjecture for fundamental variables by explicitly evaluating values of the dominant Stokes constant depending on initial conditions and a particle mass. We also make comments on some issues related to transseries structure and resurgence such as the case of broken $U(1)$ symmetry, the massless case, generalized relaxation-time, and attractor solution.

We perform a detailed numerical analysis of inflationary solutions in Kahler moduli of type IIB flux compactifications. We show that there are inflationary solutions even when all the fields play an important role in the overall shape of the scalar potential. Moreover, there exists a direction of attraction for the inflationary trajectories that correspond to the constant volume direction. This basin of attraction enables the system to have an island of stability in the set of initial conditions. We provide explicit examples of these trajectories, compute the corresponding tilt of the density perturbations power spectrum and show that they provide a robust prediction of n_s approximately 0.96 for 60 e-folds of inflation.

A conjecture of Aganagic and Vafa relates the open Gromov-Witten theory of $X=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{1}}(-1,-1)$ to the augmentation polynomial of Legendrian contact homology. We describe how to use this conjecture to compute genus zero, one boundary component open Gromov-Witten invariants for Lagrangian submanifolds $L_{K}\subset X$ obtained from the conormal bundles of knots $K\subset S^{3}$. This computation is then performed for two non-toric examples (the figure-eight and three-twist knots). For $(r,s)$ torus knots, the open Gromov-Witten invariants can also be computed using Atiyah-Bott localization. Using this result for the unknot and the $(3,2)$ torus knot, we show that the augmentation polynomial can be derived from these open Gromov-Witten invariants.

Connes' two-point model (which is an essential ingredient of his reformulation of the standard model of elementary particle physics) is recovered in our approach. Reductions of the universal differential calculus to `lower-dimensional' differential calculi are considered. The `complete reduction' leads to a differential calculus on a periodic lattice which is related to q-calculus.

Quantum localization of classical mechanics within the BRST-BFV and BV (or field-antifield) quantization methods are studied. It is shown that a special choice of gauge fixing functions (or BRST-BFV charge) together with the unitary limit leads to Hamiltonian localization in the path integral of the BRST-BFV formalism. In turn, we find that a special choice of gauge fixing functions being proportional to extremals of an initial non-degenerate classical action together with a very special solution of the classical master equation result in Lagrangian localization in the partition function of the BV formalism.

The equations for the evolution of a homogeneous brane world that emits gravitons at early times, and into a non-Z_2 symmetric bulk, are derived using an AdS-Vaidya spacetime approximation. The behaviour of the black hole mass parameters either side of the brane is analysed, and it is found that in general graviton emission leads to a decrease in the non-Z_2 symmetry. However, the behaviour of the dark radiation term in the Friedmann equation is more complex: it is shown that this term can increase or decrease due to the non-Z_2 symmetry, and can become negative in some cases, leading to H=0 and the brane universe collapsing. Constraints on the initial (nonzero) sizes of the mass parameters are therefore derived.

Cosmological models with a de Sitter 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (dS5) give rise to a finite 4D Planck mass similar to that in Randall-Sundrum (RS) brane-world models in AdS5 spacetime. Yet there arise a few important differences as compared to the results with a flat 3-brane or 4D Minkowski spacetime. For example, the mass reduction formula (MRF) $M_{Pl}^2=M_{5}^3 \ell_{AdS}$ as well as the relationship $M_{Pl}^2= M_{Pl(4+n)}^{n+2} L^{n}$ (with $L$ being the average size or the radius of the $n$ extra dimensions) expected in models of product-space (or Kaluza-Klein) compactifications get modified in cosmological backgrounds. In an expanding universe, a physically relevant MRF encodes information upon the four-dimensional Hubble expansion parameter, in addition to the length and mass parameters $L$, $M_{Pl}$ and $M_{Pl (4+n)}$. If a bulk cosmological constant is present in the solution, then the reduction formula is further modified. With these new insights, we show that the localization of a massless 4D graviton as well as the mass hierarchy between $M_{Pl}$ and $M_{Pl (4+n)}$ can be explained in cosmological brane-world models. A notable advantage of having a 5D de Sitter bulk is that in this case the zero-mass wavefunction is normalizable, which is not necessarily the case if the bulk spacetime is anti de Sitter. In spacetime dimensions $D\ge 7$, however, the bulk cosmological constant $\Lambda_b$ can take either sign ($\Lambda_b <0$, $=0$, or $>0$). The D=6 case is rather inconclusive, in which case $\Lambda_b$ may be introduced together with 2-form gauge field (or flux).

The Distance Conjecture of Ooguri and Vafa holds that any infinite-distance limit in the moduli space of a quantum gravity theory must be accompanied by a tower of exponentially light particles, which places tight constraints on the low-energy effective field theories in these limits. One attempt to extend these constraints to the interior of moduli space is the refined Distance Conjecture, which holds that the towers of light particles predicted by the Distance Conjecture must appear any time a modulus makes a super-Planckian excursion in moduli space. In this note, however, we point out that a tower which satisfies the Distance Conjecture in an infinite-distance limit of moduli space may be parametrically heavier than the Planck scale for an arbitrarily long geodesic distance. This means that the refined Distance Conjecture, in its most naive form, does not place meaningful constraints on low-energy effective field theory. This motivates alternative refinements of the Distance Conjecture, which place an absolute upper bound on the tower mass scale in the interior of moduli space. We explore two possibilities, providing evidence for them and briefly discussing their implications.

D6-branes intersecting at angles allow for phenomenologically appealing constructions of four dimensional string theory vacua. While it is straightforward to obtain non-supersymmetric realizations of the standard model, supersymmetric and stable models with three generations and no exotic chiral matter require more involved orbifold constructions. The T^6/(Z_4 x Z_2 x OmegaR) case is discussed in detail. Other orbifolds including fractional D6-branes are treated briefly.

We construct six-dimensional (6D) F-theory models in which discrete $\mathbb{Z}_5, \mathbb{Z}_4, \mathbb{Z}_3,$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge symmetries arise. We demonstrate that a special family of "Fano 3-folds" is a useful tool for constructing the aforementioned models. The geometry of Fano 3-folds in the constructions of models can be useful for understanding discrete gauge symmetries in 6D F-theory compactifications. We argue that the constructions of the aforementioned models are applicable to Calabi-Yau genus-one fibrations over any base space, except models with a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_5$ gauge group. We construct 6D F-theory models with a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_5$ gauge group over the del Pezzo surfaces, as well as over $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ and $\mathbb{P}^2$. We also discuss some applications to four-dimensional F-theory models with discrete gauge symmetries.

We consider the appearance of multiple scalar fields in SFT inspired non-local models with a single scalar field at late times. In this regime all the scalar fields are free. This system minimally coupled to gravity can be analyzed approximately or numerically. The main result of this note is the introduction of an exactly solvable model which obeys an exact solution in the cosmological context for the Friedmann equations and that reproduces the behavior expected from SFT in the asymptotic regime. Different applications of such a potential to multi-field cosmological models are discussed.

The superspace form of four-dimensional effective equations for the threebranes are readily obtained and yield the complete Seiberg-Witten equations of motion for N=2 super-Yang-Mills. A particularly simple derivation is given by introducing an N=2 superfield generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten differential.

For the case of a first-class constrained system with an equivariant momentum map, we study the conditions under which the double process of reducing to the constraint surface and dividing out by the group of gauge transformations $G$ is equivalent to the single process of dividing out the initial phase space by the complexification $G_C$ of $G$. For the particular case of a phase space action that is the lift of a configuration space action, conditions are found under which, in finite dimensions, the physical phase space of a gauge system with first-class constraints is diffeomorphic to a manifold imbedded in the physical configuration space of the complexified gauge system. Similar conditions are shown to hold in the infinite-dimensional example of Yang-Mills theories. As a physical application we discuss the adequateness of using holomorphic Wilson loop variables as (generalized) global coordinates on the physical phase space of Yang-Mills theory.

In this paper we study half-BPS type IIB supergravity solutions with multiple $AdS_3\times S^3\times M_4$ asymptotic regions, where $M_4$ is either $T^4$ or $K_3$. These solutions were first constructed in [1] and have geometries given by the warped product of $AdS_2 \times S^2 \times M_4 $ over $\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a Riemann surface. We show that the holographic boundary has the structure of a star graph, i.e. $n$ half-lines joined at a point. The attractor mechanism and the relation of the solutions to junctions of self-dual strings in six-dimensional supergravity are discussed. The solutions of [1] are constructed introducing two meromorphic and two harmonic functions defined on $\Sigma$. We focus our analysis on solutions corresponding to junctions of three different conformal field theories and show that the conditions for having a solution charged only under Ramond-Ramond three-form fields reduce to relations involving the positions of the poles and the residues of the relevant harmonic and meromorphic functions. The degeneration limit in which some of the poles collide is analyzed in detail. Finally, we calculate the holographic boundary entropy for a junction of three CFTs and obtain a simple expression in terms of poles and residues.

The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model spectral form factor exhibits absence of information loss in the form of a ramp and a plateau, that are typical of random matrix theory. In a large $N$ collective fields description, the ramp was reproduced by Saad, Shenker and Stanford \cite{Saad:2018bqo}, by replica symmetry breaking saddles for a connected component of the analytically continued to real times thermal partition function two point function.

The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model spectral form factor exhibits absence of information loss in the form of a ramp and a plateau, that are typical of random matrix theory. In a large $N$ collective fields description, the ramp was reproduced by Saad, Shenker and Stanford \cite{Saad:2018bqo}, by replica symmetry breaking saddles for a connected component of the analytically continued to real times thermal partition function two point function. We derive a two sides Schwarzians effective action for fluctuations around the ramp critical saddles, by adapting to the two replica system a method by Kitaev and Suh \cite{Kitaev:2017awl} for studying non linear responses to the conformal breaking kinetic operator in regular SYK.

In the Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi (KKLT) de-Sitter construction one introduces an anti-D3-brane that breaks the supersymmetry and leads to a positive cosmological constant. In this paper we investigate the open string moduli associated with this anti-D3-brane, corresponding to its position on the 3-sphere at the tip of the deformed conifold. We show that in the KKLT construction these moduli are very light, and we suggest a possible way to give these moduli a large mass by putting orientifold planes in the KKLT "throat".

In this essay, we argue that the emergence of classically connected spacetimes is intimately related to the quantum entanglement of degrees of freedom in a non-perturbative description of quantum gravity. Disentangling the degrees of freedom associated with two regions of spacetime results in these regions pulling apart and pinching off from each other in a way that can be quantified by standard measures of entanglement.

We numerically simulate planar shock wave collisions in anti-de Sitter space as a model for heavy ion collisions of large nuclei. We uncover a cross-over between two different dynamical regimes as a function of the collision energy. At low energies the shocks first stop and then explode in a manner approximately described by hydrodynamics, in close similarity with the Landau model. At high energies the receding fragments move outwards at the speed of light, with a region of negative energy density and negative longitudinal pressure trailing behind them. The rapidity distribution of the energy density at late times around mid-rapidity is not approximately boost-invariant but Gaussian, albeit with a width that increases with the collision energy.

In gauge/gravity duality framework the thermalization of mesons in strongly coupled (p+1)-dimensional gauge theories is studied for a general Dp-Dq system, q>=p, using the flavour Dq-brane as a probe. Thermalization corresponds to the horizon formation on the flavour Dq-brane. We calculate the thermalization time-scale due to a time-dependent change in the baryon number chemical potential, baryon injection in the field theory. We observe that for such a general system it has a universal behaviour depending only on the t'Hooft coupling constant and the two parameters which describe how we inject baryons into the system. We show that this universal behaviour is independent of the details of the theory whether it is conformal and/or supersymmetric.

We derive the (matrix-valued) Feynman rules of the mass perturbation theory and use it for the resummation of the $n$-point functions with the help of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. We use these results for a short review of the complete spectrum of the model and for a discussion of scattering processes. We find that in scattering cross sections all the resonances and higher particle production thresholds of the model are properly taken into account by our resummed mass perturbation theory, without the need of further approximations.

We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a small number of quanta on one side. If these quanta are released a scrambling time in the past, they destroy the local two-sided correlations present in the unperturbed state. The corresponding bulk geometry is a two-sided AdS black hole, and the key effect is the blueshift of the early infalling quanta relative to the $t = 0$ slice, creating a shock wave. We comment on string- and Planck-scale corrections to this setup, and discuss points that may be relevant to the firewall controversy.

Relevant physical models are described by singular Lagrangians, so that their Hamiltonian description is based on the Dirac theory of constraints. The qualitative aspects of this theory are now understood, in particular the role of the Shanmugadhasan canonical transformation in the determination of a canonical basis of Dirac's observables allowing the elimination of gauge degrees of freedom from the classical description of physical systems. This programme was initiated by Dirac for the electromagnetic field with charged fermions. Now Dirac's observables for Yang-Mills theory with fermions (whose typical application is QCD) have been found in suitable function spaces where the Gribov ambiguity is absent. Also the ones for the Abelian Higgs model are known and those for the $SU(2) \times U(1)$ electroweak theory with fermions are going to be found with the same method working for the Abelian case. The main task along these lines will now be the search of Dirac's observables for tetrad gravity in the case of asymptotically flat 3-manifolds. The philosophy behind this approach is ``first reduce, then quantize": this requires a global symplectic separation of the physical variables from the gauge ones so that the role of differential geometry applied to smooth field configurations is dominating, in contrast with the standard approach of ``first quantizing, then reducing", where, in the case of gauge field theory, the reduction process takes place on distributional field configurations, which dominate in quantum measures. This global separation has been accomplished till now, at least at a heuristic level, and one is going to have a classical (pseudoclassical for the fermion) variables basis for the physical description of the $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ standard model; instead, with tetrad gravity one expects to

In this paper we consider a super-renormalizable theory of massless QED in $(2+1)$ dimensions and discuss their BRST symmetry transformation. By extending the BRST transformation we derive the Nielsen identities for the theory. Further, we compute the generalized BRST (so-called FFBRST) transformation by making the transformation parameter field-dependent. Remarkably, we observe that the Lowenstein-Zimmerman mass terms, containing Lowenstein-Zimmerman parameter which plays an important role in the BPHZL renormalization program, along with the external sources coupled to the non-linear BRST variations appear naturally in the theory through a FFBRST transformation.

The generalized effective potential for motion in Lifshitz geometry (with arbitrary value of both the dynamical exponent $z$ and $f(r)$) is presented. Based on this effective potential energy, we shall show that bounded orbits are forbidden for positive values of $z$ and allowed for negative values of $z$. The stability of these bounded orbits are analysed in full detail. Besides, by comparison, we quote a theorem which should be very helpful in searching thermodynamical properties of these gravitational black holes. Based on this theorem, generalized thermodynamic properties of Lifshitz black holes are computed. Examples are given where the entropy still satisfies the area law. The calculated mass, temperature and entropy satisfy both the first thermodynamic principle of black holes and a Smarr formula.

In order to validate or invalidate a large class of low energy effective theories, the Swampland conjecture has attracted significant attention, recently. It can be stated as inequalities on the potential of a scalar field which is conjectured to satisfy certain constraints. In this work, we discuss the theoretical viability of deformed Starobinky gravity in light of the refined Swampland conjectures. We consider the deformation of the form $f(R)\sim R^{2(1-\alpha)}$ with $\alpha$ being a constant. We then constrain $\alpha$ using the spectral index of curvature perturbation $n_s$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We demonstrate that the model under consideration is in strong tension with the refined swampland conjecture. However, regarding our analysis with proper choices of parameters $a,\,b=1- a$ and $q$, we discover that the model can always satisfy this new refined swampland conjecture. Therefore, the model might be in landscape since the further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture is satisfied.

We study intersection of $N_c$ color D4 branes with $N_f$ Dp-branes and anti-Dp branes in the strong coupling limit in the probe approximation. The resulting model has $U(N_f)\times U(N_f)$ global symmetry. We see an $n$ dimensional theory for $n$ overlapping directions between color and flavor branes. At zero temperature we do see the breakdown of chiral symmetry, but there arises a puzzle: we do not see any massless NG boson to the break down of the chiral symmetry group for $n=2,3$ for a specific p. At finite temperature we do see the restoration of chiral symmetry group and the associated phase transitions are of first order. The chiral symmetry restoration is described by a curve, which connects L, the asymptotic distance of separation between the auarks, with the temperature, T. In general this quantity is very difficult to compute but if we evaluate it numerically then the curve is described by an equation $L T=c$, where c is a constant and is much smaller than one. It means for $L/R_{\tau}$ above $2\pi c$ there occurs the deconfined phase along with the chiral symmetryrestored phase.

In this paper kink scattering processes are investigated in the Montonen-Sarker-Trullinger-Bishop model. The MSTB model is in fact a one-parametric family of relativistic scalar field theories living in a one-time one-space Minkowski space-time which encompasses two coupled scalar fields. Between the static solutions of the model two kinds of topological kinks are distinguished in a precise range of the family parameter. In that regime there exists one unstable kink exhibiting only one non-null component of the scalar field. Another type of topological kink solutions, stable in this case, includes two different kinks for which the two-components of the scalar field are non-null. Both one-component and two-component topological kinks are accompanied by their antikink partner. The decay of disintegration of the unstable kink to one of the stable pair plus radiation is numerically computed. The pair of stable two-component kinks living respectively on upper and lower half-ellipses in field space belong to identical topological sectors in configuration space and provides an ideal playground to address several scattering events involving one kink and either its own antikinks or either the antikink of the other stable kink of the pair. By means of a numerical computation procedure we shall find and describe interesting physical phenomena. Bion (kink-antikink oscillations) formation, kink reflection, kink-antikink annihilation, kink transmutation and resonances are examples of these type of events. The appearance of these special phenomena emerging in kink-antikink scattering configurations depends critically on the initial collision velocity and the chosen value of the coupling constant parametrizing the family of MSTB models.

We dimensionally reduce the four-derivative corrections to the parity-conserving part of the D9-brane effective action involving all orders of the gauge field, to obtain corrections to the actions for the lower-dimensional Dp-branes. These corrections involve the second fundamental form and correspond to a non-geodesic embedding of the Dp-brane into (flat) ten-dimensional space. In addition, we study the transformation of the corrections under the Seiberg-Witten map relating the ordinary and non-commutative theories. A speculative discussion about the higher-order terms in the derivative expansion is also included.

The notion of a unique integrand does not a priori makes sense in field theory: different Feynman diagrams have different loop momenta and there should be no reason to compare them. In string theory, however, a global integrand is natural and allows, for instance, to make explicit the separation between left and right-moving degrees of freedom. However, the significance of this integrand had not really been investigated so far. It is even more important in view of the recently discovered loop monodromies that are related to the duality between color and kinematics in gauge and gravity loop amplitudes. This paper intends to start filling this gap, by presenting a careful definition of the loop momentum in string theory, and describing precisely the resulting global integrand obtained in the field theory limit. We will then apply this technology to write down some monodromy relations at two and three loops, and make contact with the color/kinematics duality.

Adopting an intrinsic Carrollian viewpoint, we show that the generic Carrollian scalar field action is a combination of electric and magnetic actions, found in the literature by taking the Carrollian limit of the relativistic scalar field. This leads to non-trivial dynamics: even a single particle with non-vanishing energy can move in Carrollian physics.

The classical $R$-matrix structure for the $n$-particle Calogero-Moser models with (type IV) elliptic potentials is investigated. We show there is no momentum independent $R$-matrix (without spectral parameter) when $n\ge4$. The assumption of momentum independence is sufficient to reproduce the dynamical $R$-matrices of Avan and Talon for the type I,II,III degenerations of the elliptic potential. The inclusion of a spectral parameter enables us to find $R$-matrices for the general elliptic potential.

In this paper we show that there exists a new class of topological field theories, whose correlators are intersection numbers of cohomology classes in a constrained moduli space. Our specific example is a formulation of 2D topological gravity. The constrained moduli-space is the Poincare' dual of the top Chern-class of the bundle $E_\rightarrow {\cal M}_g$, whose sections are the holomorphic differentials. Its complex dimension is $2g-3$, rather then $3g-3$. We derive our model by performing the A-topological twist of N=2 supergravity, that we identify with N=2 Liouville theory, whose rheonomic construction is also presented. The peculiar field theoretical mechanism, rooted in BRST cohomology, that is responsible for the constraint on moduli space is discussed, the key point being the fact that the graviphoton becomes a Lagrange multiplier after twist. The relation with conformal field theories is also explored. Our formulation of N=2 Liouville theory leads to a representation of the N=2 superconformal algebra with $c=6$, instead of the value $c=9$ that is obtained by untwisting the Verlinde and Verlinde formulation of topological gravity. The reduced central charge is the shadow, in conformal field theory, of the constraint on moduli space.

The idea that the elementary particles might have the symmetry of knots has had a long history. In any current formulation of this idea, however, the knot must be quantized. The present review is a summary of a small set of papers that began as an attempt to correlate the properties of quantized knots with the empirical properties of the elementary particles. As the ideas behind these papers have developed over a number of years the model has evolved, and this review is intended to present the model in its current form. The original picture of an elementary fermion as a solitonic knot of field, described by the trefoil representation of SUq(2), has expanded into its current form in which a knotted field is complementary to a composite structure composed of three or more preons that in turn are described by the fundamental representation of SLq(2). These complementary descriptions may be interpreted as describing single composite particles composed of three or more preons bound by a knotted field.

We define a relational notion of a subsystem in theories of matrix quantum mechanics and show how the corresponding entanglement entropy can be given as a minimisation, exhibiting many similarities to the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. Our construction brings together the physics of entanglement edge modes, noncommutative geometry and quantum internal reference frames, to define a subsystem whose reduced state is (approximately) an incoherent sum of density matrices, corresponding to distinct spatial subregions. We show that in states where geometry emerges from semiclassical matrices, this sum is dominated by the subregion with minimal boundary area. As in the Ryu-Takayanagi formula, it is the computation of the entanglement that determines the subregion. We find that coarse-graining is essential in our microscopic derivation, in order to control the proliferation of highly curved and disconnected non-geometric subregions in the sum.

The covariant quantization of massless D=11 superparticle (M0-brane) in its twistor-like Lorentz harmonic formulation is used to clarify the origin and some properties of the Berkovits pure spinor approach to quantum superstring and to search for hidden symmetries of D=11 supergravity. In the twistor like Lorentz harmonic formulation, the SO(16) symmetry is seen already at the classical level. The quantization produces the linearized supergravity multiplet as 128+128=256 component Majorana spinor of SO(16) and also shows an indirect argument in favor of the possible E8 symmetry.

The rest-frame instant form of the positive-energy part of the open Nambu string is developed. The string is described as a decoupled non-local canonical non-covariant Newton-Wigner center of mass plus a canonical basis of Wigner-covariant relative variables living in the Wigner 3-spaces. The center of mass carries a realization of the Poincare' algebra depending upon the invariant mass and the rest-spin of the string, functions of the relative variables. A canonical basis of gauge invariant Dirac observables is built with Frenet-Serret geometrical methods. Some comments on canonical quantization are made.

In that respect, the entropy current formalism requires some modifications in order to be adapted to supersymmetric theories and supergravities. We formulate a new entropy current in superspace with the properties: 1) it is conserved off-shell for non dissipative fluids, 2) it is invariant under rigid supersymmetry transformations 3) it is covariantly closed in local supersymmetric theories 4) it reduces to its bosonic expression on space-time.

We show generalized Galileons -- a particular subclass of Horndeski gravity -- arise from a consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction of the low-energy effective action of heterotic string theory to first order in $\alpha'$. This suggests Horndeski theories of gravity have a string-theoretic origin. The form of the Galileonic terms is precisely fixed by parameters of the embedding spacetime, so that only a specific subset of Horndeski theories is permitted by string theory. A novel limit of the model is considered by performing a dimensionful rescaling of $\alpha'$.

We apply a dressed perturbation theory to better organize and economize the computation of high orders of the 2-body effective action of an inspiralling Post-Newtonian gravitating binary. We use the effective field theory approach with the non-relativistic field decomposition (NRG fields). For that purpose we develop quite generally the dressing theory of a non-linear classical field theory coupled to point-like sources. We introduce dressed charges and propagators, but unlike the quantum theory there are no dressed bulk vertices. The dressed quantities are found to obey recursive integral equations which succinctly encode parts of the diagrammatic expansion, and are the classical version of the Schwinger-Dyson equations. Actually, the classical equations are somewhat stronger since they involve only finitely many quantities, unlike the quantum theory. Classical diagrams are shown to factorize exactly when they contain non-linear world-line vertices, and we classify all the possible topologies of irreducible diagrams for low loop numbers. We apply the dressing program to our Post-Newtonian case of interest. The dressed charges consist of the dressed energy-momentum tensor after a non-relativistic decomposition, and we compute all dressed charges (in the harmonic gauge) appearing up to 2PN in the 2-body effective action (and more).

We apply a dressed perturbation theory to better organize and economize the computation of high orders of the 2-body effective action of an inspiralling Post-Newtonian gravitating binary. We use the effective field theory approach with the non-relativistic field decomposition (NRG fields). For that purpose we develop quite generally the dressing theory of a non-linear classical field theory coupled to point-like sources. We introduce dressed charges and propagators, but unlike the quantum theory there are no dressed bulk vertices. The dressed quantities are found to obey recursive integral equations which succinctly encode parts of the diagrammatic expansion, and are the classical version of the Schwinger-Dyson equations. Actually, the classical equations are somewhat stronger since they involve only finitely many quantities, unlike the quantum theory. Classical diagrams are shown to factorize exactly when they contain non-linear world-line vertices, and we classify all the possible topologies of irreducible diagrams for low loop numbers. We apply the dressing program to our Post-Newtonian case of interest. The dressed charges consist of the dressed energy-momentum tensor after a non-relativistic decomposition, and we compute all dressed charges (in the harmonic gauge) appearing up to 2PN in the 2-body effective action (and more).

We explore in detail the dynamics of multi-field inflationary models. We first revisit the two-field case and rederive the coordinate independent expression for the attractor solution with either small or large turn rate, emphasizing the role of isometries for the existence of rapid-turn solutions. Then, for three fields in the slow-twist regime we provide elegant expressions for the attractor solution for generic field-space geometries and potentials and study the behaviour of first order perturbations. For generic $\mathcal{N}$-field models, our method quickly grows in algebraic complexity. We observe that field-space isometries are common in the literature and are able to obtain the attractor solutions and deduce stability for some isometry classes of $\mathcal{N}$-field models. Finally, we apply our discussion to concrete supergravity models. These analyses conclusively demonstrate the existence of $\mathcal{N}>2$ dynamical attractors distinct from the two-field case, and provide tools useful for future studies of their phenomenology in the cosmic microwave background and stochastic gravitational wave spectrum.

We compute the non-Gaussianity of the curvature perturbation generated by ekpyrotic collapse with multiple fields. The transition from the multi-field scaling solution to a single-field dominated regime converts initial isocurvature field perturbations to an almost scale-invariant comoving curvature perturbation. In the specific model of two fields, $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$, with exponential potentials, $-V_i \exp (-c_i \phi_i)$, we calculate the bispectrum of the resulting curvature perturbation. We find that the non-Gaussianity is dominated by non-linear evolution on super-Hubble scales and hence is of the local form. The non-linear parameter of the curvature perturbation is given by $f_{NL} = 5 c_j^2 /12$, where $c_j$ is the exponent of the potential for the field which becomes sub-dominant at late times. Since $c_j^2$ must be large, in order to generate an almost scale invariant spectrum, the non-Gaussianity is inevitably large. By combining the present observational constraints on $f_{\rm NL}$ and the scalar spectral index, the specific model studied in this paper is thus ruled out by current observational data.

An infinite class of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories can be engineered on the worldvolume of D3-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds. This kind of setup has multiple applications, ranging from the gauge/gravity correspondence to local model building in string phenomenology. Brane tilings fully encode the gauge theories on the D3-branes and have substantially simplified their connection to the probed geometries. The purpose of this paper is to push the boundaries of computation and to produce as comprehensive a database of brane tilings as possible. We develop efficient implementations of brane tiling tools particularly suited for this search. We present the first complete classification of toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds with toric diagrams up to area 8 and the corresponding brane tilings. This classification is of interest to both physicists and mathematicians alike.

We study supersymmetric branes in AdS_7 x S^4 and AdS_4 x S^7. We show that in the former case the membranes should be viewed as M5 branes with fluxes and we identify two types of such fivebranes (they are analogous to giant gravitons and to dual giants). In AdS_4 x S^7 we find both M5 branes with fluxes and freestanding stacks of membranes. We also go beyond probe approximation and construct regular supergravity solutions describing geometries produced by the branes. The metrics are completely specified by one function which satisfies either Laplace or Toda equation and we give a complete classification of boundary conditions leading to smooth geometries. The brane configurations discussed in this paper are dual to various defects in three- and six-dimensional conformal field theories.

We consider two seemingly different theories in the $\Omega$-background: one arises upon the most generic Higgsing of a 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $\text{U}(N)$ gauge theory coupled to matter, yielding a 3d-1d intersecting defect; the other one arises upon simple Higgsing of a 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $\text{U}(N|M)$ supergroup gauge theory coupled to super-matter, yielding another defect. The cases $N=M=1$ are discussed in detail via equivariant localization to matrix-like models. The first theory exhibits itself a supergroup-like structure, which can be motivated via non-perturbative string dualities, and in a matter decoupling limit it is argued to be dual to a supergroup version of refined Chern-Simons theory. Furthermore, it is observed that the partition functions of the two defect theories are related by analytic continuation in one of the equivariant parameters. We find a common origin in the algebraic engineering through $q$-Virasoro screening currents. Another simple Higgsing of the 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $\text{U}(1|1)$ yields a single component defect whose partition function is reminiscent of ordinary refined Chern-Simons on a lens space.

We revisit pure quantum cosmology in three dimensions. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation can be solved perturbatively and the dynamics reduces to a particle on moduli space. Its time evolution is equivalent to the $T\overline{T}$ deformation. Focusing on spacetimes with torus slices, we show that inflationary cosmologies correspond to particle trajectories in Artin's billiard. The resulting automorphic dynamics is developed both from a first and second quantized perspectives. Our main application is to give an interpretation for the Hartle-Hawking state which is here the analytic continuation of the Maloney-Witten partition function. We obtain its spectral decomposition and an exact representation as an average involving the M\"obius function.

We construct the action of the noncommutative $U(N)$ non-Abelian model in terms of explicit ${\cal N}=2$ supervariables by dimensionally reducing a four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supermultiplet. We also obtain the on-shell ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric model writing it in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. In the noncommutative Abelian case, we show that linear UV divergences are cancelled in Feynman diagrams and logarithmic divergences are absent up to one-loop order, stating that our model is free of UV/IR mixing.

We show that the Reeb vector, and hence in particular the volume, of a Sasaki-Einstein metric on the base of a toric Calabi-Yau cone of complex dimension n may be computed by minimising a function Z on R^n which depends only on the toric data that defines the singularity. In this way one can extract certain geometric information for a toric Sasaki-Einstein manifold without finding the metric explicitly. For complex dimension n=3 the Reeb vector and the volume correspond to the R-symmetry and the a central charge of the AdS/CFT dual superconformal field theory, respectively. We therefore interpret this extremal problem as the geometric dual of a-maximisation. We illustrate our results with some examples, including the Y^{p,q} singularities and the complex cone over the second del Pezzo surface.

We calculate the one-loop Yukawa couplings and threshold corrections for supersymmetric local models of branes at singularities in type IIB string theory. We compute the corrections coming both from wavefunction and vertex renormalisation. The former comes in the IR from conventional field theory running and in the UV from threshold corrections that cause it to run from the winding scale associated to the full Calabi-Yau volume. The vertex correction is naively absent as it appears to correspond to superpotential renormalisation. However, we find that while the Wilsonian superpotential is not renormalised there is a physical vertex correction in the 1PI action associated to light particle loops.

We study the Casimir energy of bulk fields in AdS$_3$ and its relation to subleading terms in the central charge of the dual CFT$_2$. Computing both sides of the standard CFT$_2$ relation $E=-c/12$ independently we show that this relation is not necessarily satisfied at the level of individual bulk supergravity states, but in theories with sufficient supersymmetry it is restored at the level of bulk supermultiplets. Assuming only $(0,2)$ supersymmetry (or more), we improve the situation by relating quantum corrections to the central charge and the supersymmetric Casimir energy which in turn is related to an index. These relations adapt recent progress on the AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ correspondence to AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ holography. We test our formula successfully in several examples, including the $(0,4)$ MSW theory describing classes of 4D black holes and the large $(4,4)$ theory that is interesting for higher spin holography. We also make predictions for the subleading central charges in several recently proposed $(2,2)$ dualities where the CFT$_2$ is not yet well-understood.

We show that, given a classical solution of the heterotic string theory which is independent of $d$ of the space time directions, and for which the gauge field configuration lies in a subgroup that commutes with $p$ of the $U(1)$ generators of the gauge group, there is an $O(d)\otimes O(d+p)$ transformation, which, acting on the solution, generates new classical solutions of the theory. With the help of these transformations we construct black 6-brane solutions in ten dimensional heterotic string theory carrying independent magnetic, electric and antisymmetric tensor gauge field charge, by starting from a black 6-brane solution that carries magnetic charge but no electric or antisymmetric tensor gauge field charge. The electric and the magnetic charges point in different directions in the gauge group.

We show that, given a classical solution of the heterotic string theory which is independent of $d$ of the space time directions, and for which the gauge field configuration lies in a subgroup that commutes with $p$ of the $U(1)$ generators of the gauge group, there is an $O(d)\otimes O(d+p)$ transformation, which, acting on the solution, generates new classical solutions of the theory. With the help of these transformations we construct black 6-brane solutions in ten dimensional heterotic string theory carrying independent magnetic, electric and antisymmetric tensor gauge field charge, by starting from a black 6-brane solution that carries magnetic charge but no electric or antisymmetric tensor gauge field charge. The electric and the magnetic charges point in different directions in the gauge group.

This is the second of a series of two technical papers devoted to the analysis of holonomy invariants in strict higher gauge theory with end applications in higher Chern--Simons theory. We provide a definition of trace over a crossed module such to yield surface knot invariants upon application to 2-holonomies. We show further that the properties of the trace are best described using the theory quandle crossed modules.

We define a three-dimensional quantum theory of gravity as the holographic dual of the Liouville conformal field theory. The theory is consistent and unitary by definition. The corresponding theory of gravity with negative cosmological constant has peculiar properties. The quantum theory has no normalisable AdS3 vacuum. The model contains primary black holes with zero spin. All states can be interpreted as black holes dressed with boundary gravitons. There is a unique universal interaction between these states consistent with unitarity and the conformal symmetry of the model. This theory of gravity, though conceptually isolated from other models of quantum gravity, is worth scrutinising.

The XYZ spin chain with boundaries is studied. We construct the vacuum state by the vertex operators in the level one modules of the elliptic algebra, and compact it through a geometric symmetry of the model called the turning symmetry. From this simplified expression the ``finite size formula'' for magnetizations in the bounded and in the half-infinite chains is deduced. Applying this formula we calculate the spontaneous magnetization in the bounded XYZ model.

Recently Horava proposed a renormalizable gravity theory with higher derivatives by abandoning the Lorenz invariance in UV. But there have been confusions regarding the extra scalar graviton mode and the consistency of the Horava model. I reconsider these problems and show that, in the Minkowski vacuum background, the scalar graviton mode can be consistency decoupled from the usual tensor graviton modes by imposing the (local) Hamiltonian as well as the momentum constraints.

In the case of soliton solutions non-commutativity leads to creation of new bound states.

If we impose specific condition for the solutions and parameters, we obtain asymptotically de Sitter space-time, and show the existence of the Nariai space-time as a background solution. Considering the perturbation around the Nariai space-time up to first order, we investigate the behavior of black hole horizon. We show that the anti-evaporation does not occur on the classical level in the bigravity.

The modern version of conformal matrix model (CMM) describes conformal blocks in the Dijkgraaf-Vafa phase. Therefore it possesses a determinant representation and becomes a Toda chain $\tau$-function only after a peculiar Fourier transform in internal dimensions. Moreover, in CMM Hirota equations arise in a peculiar discrete form (when the couplings of CMM are actually Miwa time-variables). Instead, this integrability property is actually independent on the measure in the original hypergeometric integral. To get hypergeometric functions, one needs to pick up a very special $\tau$-function satisfying an additional "string equation". Usually, its role is played by the lowest $L_{-1}$ Virasoro constraint, but, in the Miwa variables, it turns into a finite-difference equation with respect to the Miwa variables. One can get rid of these differences by rewriting the string equation in terms of some double ratios of the shifted $\tau$-functions, and then these ratios satisfy more sophisticated equations equivalent to the discrete Painlev\'e equations by M. Jimbo and H. Sakai ($q$-PVI equation). They look much simpler in the $q$-deformed ($"5d"$) matrix model, while in the "continuous" limit $q\longrightarrow 1$ to $4d$ one should consider the Miwa variables with non-unit multiplicities, what finally converts the simple discrete Painlev\'e $q$-PVI into sophisticated differential Painlev\'e VI equations, which will be considered elsewhere.

A detailed understanding of instanton effects for half-BPS couplings is pursued in theories with 16 supersymmetries. In particular, we investigate the duality between heterotic string on $T^4$ and type IIA on $K_3$ at the $T^4/Z_2$ orbifold point, as well as their higher and lower dimensional versions. We present a remarkably clean quantitative test of the duality at the level of $F^4$ couplings, by completely matching a purely one-loop heterotic amplitude to a purely tree-level type II result. The triality of SO(4,4) and several other miracles are shown to be crucial for the duality to hold. Exact non-perturbative new results for type I', F on $K_3$, M on $K_3$, and IIB on $K_3$ are found, and the general form of D-instanton contributions in type IIA or B on $T^4/Z_2$ is obtained. We also analyze the NS5-brane contributions in type II on $K_3\times T^2$, and predict the value $\mu (N)=\sum_{d|N} (1/d^3)$ for the bulk contribution to the index of the NS5-brane world-volume theory on $K_3 \times T^2$.

The solution corresponds to a holographic realization of a Janus-like interface/defect theory, despite the absence of a dilaton in M-theory. The 2+1-dimensional CFT dual results from the maximally symmetric CFT through the insertion of a dimension 2 operator which is localized along a 1+1-dimensional linear interface/defect, thereby partially breaking the superconformal symmetry.

Two time theory is derived via localization of the global Sp(2) [or Osp(1/2), Osp(N/2), Sp(2N),...] symmetry in phase space in order to give a self contained introduction to two time theory. Then it is shown that from the two-times physics point of view theories of point particles on many known black hole backgrounds are Sp(2) gauge duals of one another and of course also gauge dual to all other equal dimensional gauges from earlier two time related publications (hydrogen atom, ...). We reproduce the free (quantum) relativistic particle on 1+1 dimensional black hole backgrounds and 2+1 dimensional BTZ ones. Other 2+1 black holes and n+1 ones are touched on but explicitely found only as cross sections of complicated (n+1)+1 backgrounds. Further we give near horizon solutions (e.g. n+1 Robertson-Bertotti). Since two time physics can reproduce these backgrounds all particle actions have hidden symmetries that have not been noticed before.

We attempt to incorporate inflation into a string theory realization of the chameleon mechanism. Previously, it was found that the volume modulus, stabilized by the supersymmetric potential used by Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi (KKLT) and with the right choice of parameters, can generically work as a chameleon. In this paper, we ask whether inflation can be realized in the same model. We find that we need a large extra dimensions set-up, as well as a semi-phenomenological deformation of the Kahler potential in the quantum region. We also find that an additional KKLT term is required so that there are now two pieces to the potential, one which drives inflation in the early universe, and one which is responsible for chameleon screening at late times. These two pieces of the potential are separated by a large flat desert in field space. The scalar field must dynamically traverse this desert between the end of inflation and today, and we find that this can indeed occur under the right conditions.

In this paper, we ask whether inflation can be realized in the same model. We find that we need a large extra dimensions set-up, as well as a semi-phenomenological deformation of the Kahler potential in the quantum region. We also find that an additional KKLT term is required so that there are now two pieces to the potential, one which drives inflation in the early universe, and one which is responsible for chameleon screening at late times. These two pieces of the potential are separated by a large flat desert in field space. The scalar field must dynamically traverse this desert between the end of inflation and today, and we find that this can indeed occur under the right conditions.

Covariant phase space methods are applied to the analysis of a causal diamond in 2+1-dimensional pure Einstein gravity. It is found that the reduced phase space is parametrized by a family of charges with a dual geometrical interpretation: they are geometric observables on the corner of the diamond, and they generate diffeomorphisms. The Poisson brackets among them close into an algebra. Knowledge of the corner charges therefore permits reconstruction of the diamond geometry, which realizes a form of local holography. The results are contrasted with the literature, and the path to a quantum description of spacetime geometry is discussed.

Tensor models, generalization of matrix models, are studied aiming for quantum gravity in dimensions larger than two. Among them, the canonical tensor model is formulated as a totally constrained system with first-class constraints, the algebra of which resembles the Dirac algebra of general relativity. When quantized, the physical states are defined to be vanished by the quantized constraints. In explicit representations, the constraint equations are a set of partial differential equations for the physical wave-functions, which do not seem straightforward to be solved due to their non-linear character. In this paper, after providing some explicit solutions for $N=2,3$, we show that certain scale-free integration of partition functions of statistical systems on random networks (or random tensor networks more generally) provides a series of solutions for general $N$. Then, by generalizing this form, we also obtain various solutions for general $N$. Moreover, we show that the solutions for the cases with a cosmological constant can be obtained from those with no cosmological constant for increased $N$. This would imply the interesting possibility that a cosmological constant can always be absorbed into the dynamics and is not an input parameter in the canonical tensor model. We also observe the possibility of symmetry enhancement in $N=3$, and comment on an extension of Airy function related to the solutions.

The Higgs branches of the world-volume theories for multiple M5 branes on an $A_k$ or $D_k$-type ALE space are known to host a variety of fascinating properties, such as the small $E_8$ instanton transition or the discrete gauging phenomena. This setup can be further enriched by the inclusion of boundary conditions, which take the form of $SU(k)$ or $SO(2k)$ partitions, respectively. Unlike the $A$-type case, $D$-type boundary conditions are eventually accompanied by negative brane numbers in the Type IIA brane realisation. While this may seem discouraging at first, we demonstrate that these setups are well-suited to analyse the Higgs branches via magnetic quivers. Along the way, we encounter multiple models with previously neglected Higgs branches that exhibit exciting physics and novel geometric realisations. Nilpotent orbits, Slodowy slices, and symmetric products.

We analyse the most general bosonic supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity whose metrics are warped products of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS_5 with a five-dimensional Riemannian manifold M_5. All fluxes are allowed to be non-vanishing consistent with SO(4,2) symmetry. We show that the necessary and sufficient conditions can be phrased in terms of a local identity structure on M_5. For a special class, with constant dilaton and vanishing axion, we reduce the problem to solving a second order non-linear ODE. We find an exact solution of the ODE which reproduces a solution first found by Pilch and Warner. A numerical analysis of the ODE reveals an additional class of local solutions.

In a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal quiver theory with gauge group $\mathrm{SU}(N)\times\mathrm{SU}(N)$ and bi-fundamental matter, we analytically obtain the exact strong-coupling behavior of the normalized 3-point correlators of single-trace scalar operators in the large-$N$ limit using localization techniques. We then obtain the same strong-coupling behavior from the holographic dual using the AdS/CFT correspondence at the supergravity level. This agreement confirms the validity of the analytic strong-coupling results and of the holographic correspondence in a non-maximally supersymmetric set-up in four dimensions.

We study the large $N$ 't Hooft expansion of the partition function of 2d $U(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a torus. We compute the $1/N$ genus expansion of both the chiral and the full partition function of 2d Yang-Mills using the recursion relation found by Kaneko and Zagier with a slight modification. Then we study the large order behavior of this genus expansion, from which we extract the non-perturbative correction using the resurgence relation. It turns out that the genus expansion is not Borel summable and the coefficient of 1-instanton correction, the so-called Stokes parameter, is pure imaginary. We find that the non-perturbative correction obtained from the resurgence is reproduced from a certain analytic continuation of the grand partition function of a system of non-relativistic fermions on a circle. Our analytic continuation is different from that considered in hep-th/0504221.

We define an iterative procedure to obtain a non-abelian generalization of the Born-Infeld action. This construction is made possible by the use of the severe restrictions imposed by kappa-symmetry. In this paper we will present all bosonic terms in the action up to terms quartic in the Yang-Mills field strength and all fermion bilinear terms up to terms cubic in the field strength. Already at this order the fermionic terms do not satisfy the symmetric trace-prescription.

We consider linear superpositions of single particle excitations in a scalar field theory on $AdS_3$ and evaluate their contribution to the bulk entanglement entropy across the Ryu-Takayanagi surface. We compare the entanglement entropy of these excitations obtained using the Faulkner-Lewkowycz-Maldacena formula to the entanglement entropy of linear superposition of global descendants of a conformal primary in a large $c$ CFT obtained using the replica trick. We show that the closed from expressions for the entanglement entropy in the small interval expansion both in gravity and the CFT precisely agree. The agreement serves as a non-trivial check of the FLM formula for the quantum corrections to holographic entropy which also involves a contribution from the back reacted minimal area. Our checks includes an example in which the state is time dependent and spatially in-homogenous as well another example involving a coherent state with a Ba\~{n}ados geometry as its holographic dual.

In this work, we give two proposals regarding the status of connectivity of entanglement wedges and the associated saturation of mutual information. The first proposal has been given for the scenario before the Page time depicting the fact that at a particular value of the observer's time $t_b=t_R$ (where $t_R\ll\beta$), the mutual information $I(R_+:R_-)$ vanishes representing the disconnected phase of the radiation entanglement wedge. We argue that this time is the Hartman-Maldacena time at which the fine-grained entropy of radiation goes as $S(R)\sim \log(\beta)$, where $\beta$ is the inverse of Hawking temperature of the black hole. On the other hand, the second proposal probes the crucial role played by the mutual information of black hole subsystems in obtaining the correct Page curve of radiation.

We compute one-loop corrections to the energy of a IIA giant magnon solution in the $AdS_4 \times CP^3$ background by using the standard quantum field theory (QFT) techniques. The string action is expanded around the solution to the quadratic order in the fluctuation fields. The resulting action has 2D coordinate dependent-coefficients, a feature that complicates the analysis. The solution contains a worldsheet velocity parameter $v$, and is expanded in terms of the parameter. A perturbative analysis is carried out by treating the $v$-dependent parts as vertices. The energy is computed by first putting the system in a box of length $L$ and Fourier-transforming the fields into the discrete momentum modes. We compare our result with the results obtained by the algebraic curve method.
