A detailed numerical stability analysis of the static, spherically symmetric globally regular solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with a positive cosmological constant, Lambda, is carried out. It is found that the number of unstable modes in the even parity sector is n for solutions with n=1,2 nodes as Lambda varies. The solution with n=3 nodes exhibits a rather surprising behaviour in that the number of its unstable modes jumps from 3 to 1 as Lambda crosses (from below) a critical value. In particular the topologically 3-sphere type solution with n=3 nodes has only a single unstable mode.

Topological defects are generically expected to form in models of brane inflation. Brane-anti-brane annihilation provides a way to gracefully end inflation, and the dynamics of the tachyon field results in defect formation. The formation of defects has been studied mainly from the brane world-volume point of view, but the defects are themselves lower-dimensional branes, and as a result they couple to bulk fields. To investigate the impact of bulk fields on brane defect formation, we construct a toy model that captures the essential features of the tachyon condensation with bulk fields. In this toy model, we study the structure of defects and simulate their formation and evolution on a lattice. We find that while bulk fields do not have a significant effect on defect formation, they drastically influence the subsequent evolution of the defects, as they re-introduce long-range interactions between them.

The $F$-function, the three-dimensional counterpart of the central charge in the 2D conformal field theory, measures the effective number of degrees of freedom in 3D quantum field theory, and it is monotonically decreasing under the renormalization group flow. However, unlike the 2D central charge, the $F$-function is a non-local quantity and cannot be computed using correlators of local operators. Utilizing the recently proposed fuzzy sphere regularization, we have performed the first non-perturbative computation of the $F$-function for the paradigmatic 3D Ising conformal field theory through entanglement entropy. Our estimate yields $F_{\text{Ising}} \approx 0.0612(5)$, slightly smaller than the $F$-function of a real free scalar, $F_{\text{free}} = \frac{\log 2}{8} - \frac{3\zeta(3)}{16\pi^2} \approx 0.0638$, consistent with the $F$-theorem, and close to the $4-\epsilon$ expansion estimates of $F_{\text{Ising}} \approx 0.0610 \sim 0.0623$.

N=(2,2) theories in 1+1D exhibit a direct correspondence between the R-charges of chiral operators at a conformal point and the multiplicities of BPS kinks in a massive deformation, as shown by Cecotti and Vafa. We obtain an analogous relation in 3+1D for N=2 gauge theories that are massive perturbations of Argyres-Douglas fixed points, utilizing the geometric engineering approach to N=2 vacua within IIB string theory. In this case the scaling dimensions of a certain subset of chiral operators at the UV fixed point are related to the multiplicities of BPS dyons. When the Argyres-Douglas SCFT is realized at the root of a baryonic Higgs branch, this translation from 1+1D to 3+1D can be understood physically from the relation between the bulk dynamics and the N=(2,2) worldsheet dynamics of vortices in the baryonic Higgs phase. Under a relevant perturbation, the BPS kink multiplicity on the vortex worldsheet translates to that of the bulk dyonic states. The latter viewpoint suggests the 3+1D version of the Cecotti-Vafa relation may hold more generally, and simple tests provide evidence in favor of this for more generic choices of the baryonic root.

We introduce a first order description of linearized non-minimal ($n=-1$) supergravity in superspace, using the unconstrained prepotential superfield instead of the conventionally constrained super one forms. In this description, after integrating out the connection-like auxiliary superfield of first-order formalism, the superspace action is expressed in terms of a single superfield which combines the prepotential and compensator superfields. We use this description to construct the supersymmetric cubic interaction vertex $3/2-3/2-1/2$ which describes the electromagnetic interaction between two non-minimal supergravity multiplets (superspin $\textsf{Y}=3/2$ which contains a spin 2 and a spin 3/2 particles) and a vector multiplet (superspin $\textsf{Y}=1/2$ contains a spin 1 and a spin 1/2 particles). Exploring the trivial symmetries emerging between the two $\textsf{Y}=3/2$ supermultiplets, we show that this cubic vertex must depend on the vector multiplet superfield strength. This result generalize previous results for non-supersymmetric electromagnetic interactions of spin 2 particles. The constructed cubic interaction generates non-trivial deformations of the gauge transformations.

We examine the question of scale vs. conformal invariance for the linearized Einstein-Hilbert action, which describes the IR fixed point of quantum gravity. In $D = 4$, although the action is not conformally invariant in the usual sense, we explicitly show that the theory is a conformal field theory at the level of correlation functions. In higher dimensions, we show that the theory is scale but not conformally invariant, but can be embedded into a larger non-unitary conformal field theory, analogous to what has been found for Maxwell theory in $D>4$. We give evidence that similar statements are true for all free higher spin theories.

In the framework of the augmented superfield formalism, the local, covariant, continuous and off-shell (as well as on-shell) nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations are derived for a $(0 + 1)$-dimensional free scalar relativistic particle that provides a prototype physical example for the more general reparametrization invariant string- and gravitational theories. The trajectory (i.e. the world-line) of the free particle, parametrized by a monotonically increasing evolution parameter $\tau$, is embedded in a $D$-dimensional flat Minkowski target manifold. This one-dimensional system is considered on a $(1 + 2)$-dimensional supermanifold parametrized by an even element $\tau$ and a couple of odd elements ($\theta$ and $\bar\theta$) of a Grassmannian algebra. The horizontality condition and the invariance of the conserved (super)charges on the (super)manifolds play very crucial roles in the above derivations of the nilpotent symmetries. The geometrical interpretations for the nilpotent (anti-)BRST charges are provided in the framework of augmented superfield approach.

We explore new IR phenomena and dualities, arising for product groups, in the context of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. The RG running of the multiple couplings can radically affect each other. For example, an otherwise IR interacting coupling can be driven to be instead IR free by an arbitrarily small, but non-zero, initial value of another coupling. Or an otherwise IR free coupling can be driven to be instead IR interacting by an arbitrarily small non-zero initial value of another coupling. We explore these and other phenomena in N=1 examples, where exact results can be obtained using a-maximization. We also explore the various possible dual gauge theories, e.g. by dualizing one gauge group with the other treated as a weakly gauged flavor symmetry, along with previously proposed duals for the theories deformed by A_k-type Landau-Ginzburg superpotentials. We note that this latter duality, and all similar duality examples, always have non-empty superconformal windows, within which both the electric and dual A_k superpotentials are relevant.

Extracting reliable low-energy information from string compactifications notoriously requires a detailed understanding of the UV sensitivity of the corresponding effective field theories. Despite past efforts in computing perturbative string corrections to the tree-level action, neither a systematic approach nor a unified framework has emerged yet. We make progress in this direction, focusing on the moduli dependence of perturbative corrections to the 4D scalar potential of type IIB Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications. We proceed by employing two strategies. First, we use two rescaling symmetries of type IIB string theory to infer the dependence of any perturbative correction on both the dilaton and the Calabi-Yau volume. Second, we use F/M-theory duality to conclude that KK reductions on elliptically-fibred Calabi-Yau fourfolds of the M-theory action at any order in the derivative expansion can only generate $(\alpha')^{\rm even}$ corrections to the 4D scalar potential, which, moreover, all vanish for trivial fibrations. We finally give evidence that $(\alpha')^{\rm odd}$ effects arise from integrating out KK and winding modes on the elliptic fibration and argue that the leading no-scale breaking effects at string tree-level arise from $(\alpha')^3$ effects, modulo potential logarithmic corrections.

Recent advances in AdS/CFT holography have suggested that the near-horizon dynamics of black holes can be described by random matrix systems. We study how the energy spectrum of a system with a generic random Hamiltonian matrix affects its early and late time thermalization behaviour using the spectral form factor (which captures the time-dependence of two-point correlation functions). We introduce a simple statistical framework for generating random spectra in terms of the nearest neighbor spacing statistics of energy eigenvalues, enabling us to compute the averaged spectral form factor in a closed form. This helps to easily illustrate how the spectral form factor changes with different choices of nearest neighbor statistics ranging from the Poisson to Wigner surmise statistics. We suggest that it is possible to have late time oscillations in random matrix models involving $\beta$-ensembles (generalizing classical Gaussian ensembles). We also study the form factor of randomly coupled oscillator systems and show that at weak coupling, such systems exhibit regular decaying oscillations in the spectral form factor making them interesting toy models for gravitational wave echoes. We speculate on the holographic interpretation of a system of coupled oscillators, and suggest that they describe the thermalization behaviour of a black hole geometry with a membrane that cuts off the geometry at the stretched horizon.

Carrying out perturbations around a lattice topological field theory in two dimensions, we show that it is on a first order phase transition fixed point with multiplicity ${n(n-1)/2}$, where $n$ is the number of its independent physical observables. We discuss about the order parameters and the finite size effect for the free energy. The finite size effect is described by the topological field theory. We investigate also the renormalization group flow near the fixed point, and show that the flow agrees with that of the Nienhuis-Nauenberg criterion.

We introduce the analogue of the metric tensor in case of $q$-deformed differential calculus. We analyse the consequences of the existence of such metric, showing that this enforces severe restrictions on the parameters of the theory. We discuss in detail the examples of the Manin plane and the $q$-deformation of $SU(2)$. Finally we touch the topic of relations with the Connes' approach.

We discuss the potential and mass-matrix of gauged N=4 matter coupled supergravity for the case of six matter multiplets, extending previous work by considering the dependence on all scalars. We consider all semi-simple gauge groups and analyse the potential and its first and second derivatives in the origin of the scalar manifold. Although we find in a number of cases an extremum with a positive cosmological constant, these are not stable under fluctuations of all scalar fields.

A state vector description for relativistic resonances is derived from the first order pole of the $j$-th partial $S$-matrix at the invariant square mass value $\sm_R=(m-i\Gamma/2)^2$ in the second sheet of the Riemann energy surface. To associate a ket, called Gamow vector, to the pole, we use the generalized eigenvectors of the four-velocity operators in place of the customary momentum eigenkets of Wigner, and we replace the conventional Hilbert space assumptions for the in- and out-scattering states with the new hypothesis that in- and out-states are described by two different Hardy spaces with complementary analyticity properties. The Gamow vectors have the following properties: - They are simultaneous generalized eigenvectors of the four velocity operators with real eigenvalues and of the self-adjoint invariant mass operator $M=(P_\mu P^\mu)^{1/2}$ with complex eigenvalue $\sqrt{\sm_R}$. - They have a Breit-Wigner distribution in the invariant square mass variable $\sm$ and lead to an exactly exponential law for the decay rates and probabilities.

The effects of extra space-time dimensions on the Wilsonian effective K\"ahler potential and the perturbative one loop effective K\"ahler potential are determined within the framework of an Abelian gauge theory with N=2 supersymmetric field content. The relation between the K\"ahler metric and the effective gauge couplings which leads to the absence of radiative corrections to the K\"ahler potential is expressed as a function of the radius of compactification of a fifth dimension. In general, the quantum corrections to the low energy K\"ahler potential are shown to grow with this radius reflecting the underlying higher dimensional nature of the theory.

Much use has been made of the techniques of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) for studying bound-state problems characterized by a superpotential $\phi(x)$. Under the analytic continuation $\phi(x) \to i\phi(x)$, a pair of superpartner bound-state problems is transformed into a two-state level-crossing problem in the continuum. The description of matter-enhanced neutrino flavor oscillations involves a level-crossing problem. We treat this with the techniques of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. For the benefit of those not familiar with neutrino oscillations and their description, enough details are given to make the rest of the paper understandable. Many other level-crossing problems in physics are of exactly the same form. Particular attention is given to the fact that different semiclassical techniques yield different results. The best result is obtained with a uniform approximation that explicitly recognizes the supersymmetric nature of the system.

We present a comprehensive analysis of the AdS/Ricci-flat correspondence, a map between a class of asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes and a class of Ricci-flat spacetimes. We provide a detailed derivation of the map, discuss a number of extensions and apply it to a number of important examples, such as AdS on a torus, AdS black branes and fluids/gravity metrics. In particular, the correspondence links the hydrodynamic regime of asymptotically flat black $p$-branes or the Rindler fluid with that of AdS. It implies that this class of Ricci-flat spacetimes inherits from AdS a generalized conformal symmetry and has a holographic structure. We initiate the discussion of holography by analyzing how the map acts on boundary conditions and holographic 2-point functions.

The double copy is a much-studied relationship between gauge theory and gravity amplitudes. Recently, this was generalised to an infinite family of classical solutions to Einstein's equations, namely stationary Kerr-Schild geometries. In this paper, we extend this to the Taub-NUT solution in gravity, which has a double Kerr-Schild form. The single copy of this solution is a dyon, whose electric and magnetic charges are related to the mass and NUT charge in the gravity theory. Finally, we find hints that the classical double copy extends to curved background geometries.

In the work \cite{BRM,RBE}, black hole spectroscopy has been successfully reproduced in the tunneling picture. As a result, the derived entropy spectrum of black hole in different gravity (including Einstein's gravity, Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity) are all evenly spaced, sharing the same forms as $S_n=n$, where physical process is only confined in the semiclassical framework. However, the real physical picture should go beyond the semiclassical approximation. In this case, the physical quantities would undergo higher-order quantum corrections, whose effect on different gravity shares in different forms. Motivated by these facts, in this paper we aim to observe how quantum corrections affect black hole spectroscopy in different gravity. The result shows that, in the presence of higher-order quantum corrections, black hole spectroscopy in different gravity still shares the same form as $S_n=n$, further confirming the entropy quantum is universal in the sense that it is not only independent of black hole parameters, but also independent of higher-order quantum corrections. This is a desiring result for the forthcoming quantum gravity theory.

The effective action for such a domain wall can be found by integrating out the normal modes as vibrating modes around the domain wall solution of a truncated 5d supergravity action. The multi-scalar tachyon potential are good enough to modeling assisted inflation scenario with multi-tachyon fields. The tachyon condensation are also briefly addressed.

In the context of $ISO(2,1)$ gauge theory, we consider $(2+1)$-dimensional gravity with the gravitational Chern-Simons term (CST). This formulation allows the `exact' solution for the system coupled to a massive point particle (which is not the case in the conventional Chern-Simons gravity). The solution exhibits locally trivial structure even with the CST, although still shows globally nontrivialness such as the conical space and the helical time structure. Since the solution is exact, we can say the CST induces spin even for noncritical case of $\s+\al m\ne 0$.

We take into account three classes of nonlinear electrodynamic models; first two classes are the well-known BornInfeld like models including logarithmic and exponential forms and third class is known as the power Maxwell invariant nonlinear electrodynamics. We investigate the effects of these nonlinear sources on three dimensional magnetic solutions. We show that these asymptotical AdS solutions do not have any curvature singularity and horizon. We also generalize the static metric to the case of rotating solutions and find that the value of the electric charge depends on the rotation parameter. Finally, we consider the quadratic Maxwell invariant as a correction of Maxwell theory and in other words, we investigate the effects of nonlinearity as a correction. We study the behavior of the deficit angle in presence of these theories of nonlinearity and compare them with each other. We also show that some cases with negative deficit angle exists which are representing objects with different geometrical structure. We also show that in case of the static only magnetic field exists whereas by boosting the metric to rotating one, electric field appear too.

I review some work done in the past four years concerning the transition of Yang-Mills theories from 1+3 to 1+1 dimensions. The problem is considered both in a perturbative context and in exact solutions when available. Several interesting features are discussed, mainly in relation to the phenomenon of confinement, and some controversial issues are clarified.

In general-covariant theories the Hamiltonian is a constraint, and hence there is no time evolution; this is the problem of time. In the subcritical free string, the Hamiltonian ceases to be a constraint after quantization due to conformal anomalies, and time evolution becomes non-trivial and unitary. It is argued that the problem of time in four dimensions can be resolved by a similar mechanism. This forces us to challenge some widespread beliefs, such as the idea that every gauge symmetry is a redundancy of the description.

We consider bosonic subsectors of the q-deformed AdS_5 x S^5 superstring action and study the classical integrable structure of anisotropic Landau-Lifshitz sigma models (LLSMs) derived by taking fast-moving limits. The subsectors are 1) deformed AdS_3 x S^1 and 2) R x deformed S^3. The cases 1) and 2) lead to a time-like warped SL(2) LLSM and a squashed S^3 LLSM, respectively. For each of them, we construct an infinite number of non-local conserved charges and show a quantum affine algebra at the classical level. Furthermore, a pp-wave like limit is applied for the case 1). The resulting system is a null-like warped SL(2) LLSM and exhibits a couple of Yangians through non-local gauge transformations associated with Jordanian twists.

We outline a general strategy developed for the analysis of critical models, which we apply to obtain a heuristic classification of all universality classes with up to three field-theoretical scalar order parameters in $d=6-\epsilon$ dimensions. As expected by the paradigm of universality, each class is uniquely characterized by its symmetry group and by a set of its scaling properties, neither of which are built-in by the formalism but instead emerge nontrivially as outputs of our computations. For three fields, we find several solutions mostly with discrete symmetries. These are nontrivial conformal field theory candidates in less than six dimensions, one of which is a new perturbatively unitary critical model.

The resulting non-minimal version of the RNS formalism is related by a field redefinition to the pure spinor formalism.

We discuss nuclear physics in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, in the limit of large number $N_c$ of colors and large 't Hooft coupling, with the addition of a finite mass for the quarks. Individual baryons are described by classical solitons whose size is much smaller than the typical distance in nuclear bound states, thus we can use the linear approximation to compute the interaction potential and provide a natural description for lightly bound states. We find the classical geometry of nuclear bound states for baryon numbers up to B=8. The effect of the finite pion mass - induced by the quark mass via the GMOR relation - is to decrease the binding energy of the nuclei with respect to the massless case. We discuss the finite density case with a particular choice of a cubic lattice, for which we find the critical chemical potential, at which the hadronic phase transition occurs.

In this manuscript we describe a hidden conformal symmetry of the second Randall-Sundrum model (RS2). We show how this can be used to localize fermions of both chiralities. The conformal symmetry leaves few free dimensionless constants and constrains the allowed interactions. In this formulation the warping of the extra dimension emerges from a partial breaking of the conformal symmetry in five dimensions. The solution of the system can be described in two alternative gauges: by the metric or by the conformon. By considering this as a fundamental symmetry we construct a conformally invariant action for a vector field which provides a massless photon localized over a Minkowski brane. This is obtained by a conformal non-minimal coupling that breaks the gauge symmetry in five dimensions. We further consider a generalization of the model by including conformally invariant torsion. By coupling torsion non-minimally to fermions we obtain a localized zero mode of both chiralities completing the consistence of the model. The inclusion of torsion introduces a fermion quartic interaction that can be used to probe the existence of large extra dimensions and the validity of the model. This seems to point to the fact that conformal symmetry may be more fundamental than gauge symmetry and that this is the missing ingredient for the full consistence of RS scenarios.

We carefully study the singular loci of the uplifted geometry and show that these correspond to $\mathbf{C}^3/\mathbf{Z}_n$ conical singularities. Therefore, these solutions present one of the first explicit realisations of honest locally $\mathcal{N} = 1$ preserving punctures in class $\mathcal{S}$. Additionally, we study the symmetries and anomalies of the dual field theory through anomaly inflow and compute a variety of holographic observables including dimensions of BPS operators.

Four-dimensional supersymmetric black holes are static and so have all vanishing multipoles. Nevertheless, it is possible to define finite multipole ratios for these black holes, by taking the ratio of (finite) multipoles of supersymmetric multicentered geometries and then taking the black hole scaling limit of the multipole ratios within these geometries. An alternative way to calculate these multipole ratios is to deform the supersymmetric black hole slightly into a non-extremal, rotating black hole, calculate the multipole ratios of this altered black hole, and then take the supersymmetric limit of the ratios. Bena and Mayerson observed that for a class of microstate geometries, these two a priori completely different methods give spectacular agreement for the resulting supersymmetric black hole multipole ratios. They conjectured that this agreement is due to the smallness of the entropy parameter for these black holes. We correct this conjecture and give strong evidence supporting a more refined conjecture, which is that the agreement of multipole ratios as calculated with these two different methods is due to both the microstate geometry and its corresponding black hole having a property we call "large dipole", which can be interpreted as their center of mass being far away from its apparent center.

Four-graviton couplings in the low energy effective action of type II string vacua compactified on tori are strongly constrained by supersymmetry and U-duality. While the $R^4$ and $D^4 R^4$ couplings are known exactly in terms of Langlands-Eisenstein series of the U-duality group, the $D^6 R^4$ couplings are not nearly as well understood. Exploiting the coincidence of the U-duality group in $D=6$ with the T-duality group in $D=5$, we propose an exact formula for the $D^6 R^4$ couplings in type II string theory compactified on $T^4$, in terms of a genus-two modular integral plus a suitable Eisenstein series. The same modular integral computes the two-loop correction to $D^6 R^4$ in 5 dimensions, but here provides the non-perturbative completion of the known perturbative terms in $D=6$. This proposal hinges on a systematic re-analysis of the weak coupling and large radius of the $D^6 R^4$ in all dimensions $D\geq 3$, which fills in some gaps and resolves some inconsistencies in earlier studies.

The paper is devoted to the Hamiltonian treatment of classical and quantum properties of Liouville field theory on a timelike strip in 2d Minkowski space. We give a complete description of classical solutions regular in the interior of the strip and obeying constant conformally invariant conditions on both boundaries. Depending on the values of the two boundary parameters these solutions may have different monodromy properties and are related to bound or scattering states. By Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization we find the quasiclassical discrete energy spectrum for the bound states in agreement with the corresponding limit of spectral data obtained previously by conformal bootstrap methods in Euclidean space. The full quantum version of the special vertex operator $e^{-\phi}$ in terms of free field exponentials is constructed in the hyperbolic sector.

The space of all possible boundary conditions that respect self-adjointness of Hamiltonian operator is known to be given by the group manifold $U(2)$ in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. In this paper we study non-Abelian Berry's connections in the space of boundary conditions in a simple quantum mechanical system. We consider a system for a free spinless particle on a circle with two point-like interactions described by the $U(2) \times U(2)$ family of boundary conditions. We show that, for a certain $SU(2) \subset U(2) \times U(2)$ subfamily of boundary conditions, all the energy levels become doubly-degenerate thanks to the so-called higher-derivative supersymmetry, and non-Abelian Berry's connection in the ground-state sector is given by the Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) monopole of $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. We also show that, in the ground-state sector of this quantum mechanical model, matrix elements of position operator give the adjoint Higgs field that satisfies the BPS equation. It is also discussed that Berry's connections in the excited-state sectors are given by non-BPS 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles.

Generalized Weierstrass formulae for surfaces in four-dimensional space $\Bbb{R}^{4}$ are used to study (anti)self-dual rigid string configurations. It is shown that such configurations are given by superminimal immersions into $\Bbb{R}^{4}$. Explicit formulae for generic (anti)instantons are presented. Particular classes of surfaces are also analyzed.

Studies about a formal analogy between the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields lead to the notion of Gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM) to describe gravitation. In fact, the GEM equations correspond to the weak field approximation of gravitation field. Here a non-abelian extension of the GEM theory is considered. Using the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism to introduce temperature effects some interesting physical phenomena are investigated. The non-abelian GEM Stefan-Boltzmann law and the Casimir effect at zero and finite temperature for this non-abelian field are calculated.

We analyze BPS black hole attractors in the conformal 4d gauged supergravity formalism and apply the technique known as supergravity localization in order to evaluate Sen's quantum entropy function in the $\mathrm{AdS}_2\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^2$ near-horizon geometry. Under certain assumptions, we reduce the exact expression of the functional integral to a finite-dimensional integral for a number of supersymmetric black holes in gauged supergravity with AdS asymptotics subject to a holographic description via a dual field theory. Examples include the asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_4\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^7$ Cacciatori-Klemm black holes in M-theory and the asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_5\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^5$ generalizations of Gutowski-Reall black holes and Benini-Bobev black strings in type IIB, as well as the recently constructed asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_4\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^6$ solutions in massive type IIA. Our results provide an important first step towards a gravitational counterpart to the exact evaluation of supersymmetric partition functions at finite $N$ for the holographically dual field theories in these examples.

The symmetric orbifold of $\mathbb{T}^4$ is the analogue of free SYM in four dimensions, and its dual is described by a tensionless string propagating in ${\rm AdS}_3\times {\rm S}^3 \times \mathbb{T}^4$. In this paper we study the deformation of this exact AdS/CFT duality away from the free point. On the symmetric orbifold side this amounts to perturbing the theory by the exactly marginal operator from the $2$-cycle twisted sector. We identify the corresponding perturbation in the dual worldsheet description, and show that the anomalous conformal dimensions of a number of symmetric orbifold currents are correctly reproduced from this worldsheet perspective.

We formulate a complete path integral bosonization procedure for any fermionic theory in two dimensions. The method works equally well for massive and massless fermions, and is a generalization of an approach suggested earlier by Andrianov. The classical action of the bosons in the bosonized theory is identified with -i times the logarithm of the Jacobian of a local chiral transformation, with the boson fields as transformation parameters. Three examples, the Schwinger model, the massive Thirring model and massive non-Abelian bosonization, are worked out.

The coupling between the spin of a massive Dirac fermion and the angular momentum of the medium, i.e. the gravitomagnetic moment, is shown here to be renormalized by QED interactions at finite temperature. This means that the anomalous gravitomagnetic moment (AGM) does not vanish, and implies that thermal effects can break the Einstein equivalence principle in quantum field theory, as argued previously. We also show that the AGM causes radiative corrections to the axial current of massive fermions induced by vorticity in quantum relativistic fluids, similarly to the previous findings for massless fermions. The radiative QCD effects on the AGM should significantly affect the production of polarized hadrons in heavy-ion collisions.

In this paper we study the localization of a model with kinetic gauge mixing on a thin membrane. The model we discuss is a theory for millicharged particles, proposed by Holdom in 1985, and that now is object of study in the LHC. We propose a geometrical coupling between the gauge fields, the Ricci scalar and the Ricci tensor. We show that it is possible to localize such a model by regarding specific values for the coupling constants. We find the solutions for the two gauge fields and discuss the localization for scalar fields that appears naturally in the process. We show that not necessarily the gauge and scalar fields are localized at the same time.

One approach for formulating the classical dynamics of charged particles in non-Abelian gauge theories is due to Wong. Following Wong's approach, we derive the classical equations of motion of a charged particle in U(1) gauge theory on noncommutative space, the so-called noncommutative QED. In the present use of the procedure, it is observed that the definition of mechanical momenta should be modified. The derived equations of motion manifest the previous statement about the dipole behavior of charges in noncommutative space.

Using BRST-BV approach, massless and massive continuous-spin fields propagating in the flat space are studied. For such fields, BRST-BV gauge invariant Lagrangian is obtained. The Lagrangian and gauge transformations are constructed out of traceless gauge fields and traceless gauge transformation parameters. Interrelation between the BRST-BV Lagrangian and the Lagrangian for the continuous-spin fields in metric-like approach is demonstrated. Considering the BRST-BV Lagrangian in the Siegel gauge, we get gauge-fixed Lagrangian which is invariant under global BRST and antiBRST transformations.

We present Poincare invariant domain wall (``3-brane'') solutions to some 5-dimensional effective theories which can arise naturally in string theory. In particular, we find theories where Poincare invariant solutions exist for arbitrary values of the brane tension, for certain restricted forms of the bulk interactions. We describe examples in string theory where it would be natural for the quantum corrections to the tension of the brane (arising from quantum fluctuations of modes with support on the brane) to maintain the required form of the action. In such cases, the Poincare invariant solutions persist in the presence of these quantum corrections to the brane tension, so that no 4d cosmological constant is generated by these modes.

We study quantum electrodynamics on the noncommutative Minkowski space in the Yang-Feldman formalism. Local observables are defined by using covariant coordinates. We compute the two-point function of the interacting field strength to second order and find the infrared divergent terms already known from computations using the so-called modified Feynman rules. It is shown that these lead to nonlocal renormalization ambiguities. Also new nonlocal divergences stemming from the covariant coordinates are found. Furthermore, we study the supersymmetric extension of the model. For this, the supersymmetric generalization of the covariant coordinates is introduced. We find that the nonlocal divergences cancel. At the one-loop level, the only effect of noncommutativity is then a momentum-depenent field strength normalization. We interpret it as an acausal effect and show that its range is independent of the noncommutativity scale.

We review a method to find the non-abelian open superstring effective action, thereby settling the issue of the ordering ambiguities. We start from solutions to Yang-Mills which, in D-brane context, define certain BPS configurations. Studying their deformations in the abelian case shows that the Born-Infeld action is the unique deformation which admits solutions of this type. By applying the method to the non-abelian case we calculated the full effective action through O(\alpha'^3). The presence of derivative terms turns out to be essential. Testing the result by comparing the spectrum in the presence of a constant magnetic background field with the string theory prediction, we obtain perfect agreement.

We study thermal configurations in the BFSS matrix model produced by numerical simulations. We do this by adding a probe brane to a typical configuration and studying the fermionic degrees of freedom connecting the probe to the configuration. Depending on the parameters of the probe there is a region where these fermion modes are gapless. We argue that it is natural to excise the gapless region from the geometry and that the black hole horizon is located exactly at the edge of this zone. The physics inside the gapless region is maximally non-local and effectively 1+1 dimensional. When a probe, considered as an observer, crosses into the gapless zone there is a break down of effective field theory where the off-diagonal fermions are integrated out. We argue that this breakdown of effective field theory is evidence for firewalls on black hole horizons.

This review paper uses renormalization group techniques for signal detection in nearly-continuous positive spectra. We highlight universal aspects of the analogue field-theory approach. The first aim is to present an extended self-consistent construction of the analogue effective field-theory framework for data, which can be viewed as a maximum entropy model. In particular and exploiting universality arguments, we justify the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry of the classical action and we stress the existence of a large-scale (local) regime and of a small-scale (nonlocal) regime. Secondly and related to noise models, we observe the universal relation between phase transition and symmetry breaking in the vicinity of the detection threshold. Finally, we discuss the issue of defining the covariance matrix for tensorial-like data. Based on the cutting graph prescription, we note the superiority of definitions based on complete graphs of large size for data analysis.

We consider soliton creation when there are "twist" degrees of freedom present in the model in addition to those that make up the soliton. Specifically we consider a deformed O(3) sigma model in 1+1 dimensions, which reduces to the sine-Gordon model in the zero twist sector. We study the scattering of two or more breather solutions as a function of twist, and find soliton creation for a range of parameters. We speculate on the application of these ideas, in particular on the possible role of magnetic helicity, to the production of magnetic monopoles, and the violation of baryon number in nuclear scattering experiments.

We solve the Killing spinor equations of ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity, with four supercharges, coupled to any number of vector and scalar multiplets in all cases. We find that backgrounds with N=1 supersymmetry admit a null, integrable, Killing vector field. There are two classes of N=2 backgrounds. The spacetime in the first class admits a parallel null vector field and so it is a pp-wave. The spacetime of the other class admits three Killing vector fields, and a vector field that commutes with the three Killing directions. These backgrounds are of cohomogeneity one with homogenous sections either $\bR^{2,1}$ or $AdS_3$ and have an interpretation as domain walls. The N=3 backgrounds are locally maximally supersymmetric. There are N=3 backgrounds which arise as discrete identifications of maximally supersymmetric ones. The maximally supersymmetric backgrounds are locally isometric to either $\bR^{3,1}$ or $AdS_4$.

We study the dimensional continuation of the sphere free energy in conformal field theories. In continuous dimension $d$ we define the quantity $\tilde F=\sin (\pi d/2)\log Z$, where $Z$ is the path integral of the Euclidean CFT on the $d$-dimensional round sphere. $\tilde F$ smoothly interpolates between $(-1)^{d/2}\pi/2$ times the $a$-anomaly coefficient in even $d$, and $(-1)^{(d+1)/2}$ times the sphere free energy $F$ in odd $d$. We calculate $\tilde F$ in various examples of unitary CFT that can be continued to non-integer dimensions, including free theories, double-trace deformations at large $N$, and perturbative fixed points in the $\epsilon$ expansion. For all these examples $\tilde F$ is positive, and it decreases under RG flow. Using perturbation theory in the coupling, we calculate $\tilde F$ in the Wilson-Fisher fixed point of the $O(N)$ vector model in $d=4-\epsilon$ to order $\epsilon^4$. We use this result to estimate the value of $F$ in the 3-dimensional Ising model, and find that it is only a few percent below $F$ of the free conformally coupled scalar field. We use similar methods to estimate the $F$ values for the $U(N)$ Gross-Neveu model in $d=3$ and the $O(N)$ model in $d=5$. Finally, we carry out the dimensional continuation of interacting theories with 4 supercharges, for which we suggest that $\tilde F$ may be calculated exactly using an appropriate version of localization on $S^d$. Our approach provides an interpolation between the $a$-maximization in $d=4$ and the $F$-maximization in $d=3$.

Recently Sahoo and Sen obtained a series of remarkable results concerning sub-leading soft photon and graviton theorems in four dimensions. Even though the S- matrix is infrared divergent, they have shown that the sub-leading soft theorems are well defined and exact statements in QED and perturbative Quantum Gravity. However unlike the well studied Cachazo-Strominger soft theorems in tree-level amplitudes, the new sub-leading soft expansion is at the order ln {\omega} (where {\omega} is the soft frequency) and the corresponding soft factors structurally show completely different properties then their tree-level counterparts. Whence it is natural to ask if these theorems are associated to asymptotic symmetries of the S-matrix. We consider this question in the context of sub-leading soft photon theorem in scalar QED and show that there are indeed an infinity of conservation laws whose Ward identities are equivalent to the loop-corrected soft photon theorem. This shows that in the case of four dimensional QED, the leading and sub-leading soft photon theorems are equivalent to Ward identities of (asymptotic) charges.

Calculations of the entanglement entropy of a spatial region in continuum quantum field theory require boundary conditions on the fields at the fictitious boundary of the region. These boundary conditions impact the treatment of the zero modes of the fields and their contribution to the entanglement entropy. We explore this issue in the simplest example, the c=1 compact-boson conformal field theory in 1+1 dimensions. We consider three different types of boundary conditions: spatial Neumann, temporal Neumann, and Dirichlet. We argue that the first two are well motivated, and show that they lead to the same result for the Renyi entropies as well as the entanglement entropy, including a constant term that corresponds to the Affleck-Ludwig boundary entropy. The last set of boundary conditions is less well motivated, and leads to a different value of the constant term. The two values are related by a duality transformation on the compact boson. We also verify some of our results with heat-kernel methods.

We confront Cardy's suggested c-function for four-dimensional field theories with the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetries in asymptotically free vectorlike gauge theories with fermions transforming according to different representations under the gauge group. Assuming that the infrared limit of the c-function is determined by the dimension of the associated Goldstone manifold, we find that this c-function always decreases between the ultraviolet and infrared fixed points.

We study the nonlinear evolution of unstable flux compactifications, applying numerical relativity techniques to solve the Einstein equations in $D$ dimensions coupled to a $q$-form field and positive cosmological constant. We show that initially homogeneous flux compactifications are unstable to dynamically forming warped compactifications. In some cases, we find that the warping process can serve as a toy-model of slow-roll inflation, while in other instances, we find solutions that eventually evolve to a singular state. Analogous to dynamical black hole horizons, we use the geometric properties of marginally trapped surfaces to characterize the lower dimensional vacua in the inhomogeneous and dynamical settings we consider. We find that lower-dimensional vacua with a lower expansion rate are dynamically favoured, and in some cases find spacetimes that undergo a period of accelerated expansion followed by contraction.

Wightman function, the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor are investigated for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling in a spherically symmetric static background geometry described by two distinct metric tensors inside and outside a spherical boundary. The exterior and interior geometries can correspond to different vacuum states of the same theory. In the region outside the sphere, the contributions in the VEVs, induced by the interior geometry, are explicitly separated. For the special case of the Minkowskian exterior geometry, the asymptotics of the VEVs near the boundary and at large distances are discussed in detail. In particular, it has been shown that the divergences on the boundary are weaker than in the problem of a spherical boundary in Minkowski spacetime with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. As an application of general results, dS and AdS spaces are considered as examples of the interior geometry. For AdS interior there are no bound states. In the case of dS geometry and for nonminimally coupled fields, bound states appear for a radius of the separating boundary sufficiently close to the dS horizon. Starting from a critical value of the radius the Minkowskian vacuum in the exterior region becomes unstable. For small values of the AdS curvature radius, to the leading order, the VEVs in the exterior region coincide with those for a spherical boundary in Minkowski spacetime with Dirichlet boundary condition. The exceptions are the cases of minimal and conformal couplings: for a minimal coupling the VEVs are reduced to the case with Neumann boundary condition, whereas for a conformally coupled field there is no reduction to Dirichlet or Neumann results.

We construct a new class of scalar noncommutative multi-solitons on an arbitrary Kahler manifold by using Berezin's geometric approach to quantization and its generalization to deformation quantization. We analyze the stability condition which arises from the leading 1/hbar correction to the soliton energy and for homogeneous Kahler manifolds obtain that the stable solitons are given in terms of generalized coherent states. We apply this general formalism to a number of examples, which include the sphere, hyperbolic plane, torus and general symmetric bounded domains. As a general feature we notice that on homogeneous manifolds of positive curvature, solitons tend to attract each other, while if the curvature is negative they will repel each other. Applications of these results are discussed.

Using the isomorphism between $m=2, k=2$ tree amplituhedron and 1-loop MHV physical amplituhedron, we found the direct triangulation of 2-loop MHV amplituhedron from sign flip. This triangulation is different from the BCFW triangulation because of the structure of the cells. And we also found a formula of the canonical form of $n$-point 2-loop MHV amplituhedron. This formula looks like a 2-loop version of the Kermit representation of 1-loop MHV amplitude.

By demanding the validity of an effective field theory description during inflation, in this note we derive some peculiar inequalities among the three interesting stringy and cosmological parameters, namely the tensor-to-scalar ratio ($r$), the string coupling ($g_s$) and the compactification volume (${\cal V}$). In deriving these inequalities, we explicitly demand that the inflationary scale and the Hubble parameter during inflation are well below the Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass scale, string scale, and the four dimensional Planck mass. For the inflationary models developed within the framework of type IIB orientifold comapctification, we investigate the regions of parameters space spanned by the three parameters $(r, g_s, {\cal V})$ by satisfying our inequalities, and we find that the same can reduce the size of available parameter space quite significantly. Moreover, we comment on obtaining further constraints on the parameters by comparing gravitino mass ($m_{3/2}$) with the Hubble scale ($H$), which also provides a lower bound on tensor-to-scalar ratio ($r$), for the cases when $m_{3/2} <H$. We also illustrate the outcome of our bounds in some specific class of string(-inspired) models.

The spectrum and partition function of a model consisting of SU(n) spins positioned at the equilibrium positions of a classical Calogero model and interacting through inverse-square exchange are derived. The energy levels are equidistant and have a high degree of degeneracy, with several SU(n) multiplets belonging to the same energy eigenspace. The partition function takes the form of a q-deformed polynomial. This leads to a description of the system by means of an effective parafermionic hamiltonian, and to a classification of the states in terms of "modules" consisting of base-n strings of integers.

The most general large ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal ${\cal W}_{\infty}$ algebra, containing in addition to the superconformal algebra one supermultiplet for each integer spin, is analysed in detail. It is found that the ${\cal W}_{\infty}$ algebra is uniquely determined by the levels of the two $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ algebras, a conclusion that holds both for the linear and the non-linear case. We also perform various cross-checks of our analysis, and exhibit two different types of truncations in some detail.

We aim to establish the holographic principle as a universal law, rather than a property only of static systems and special space-times. Our covariant formalism yields an upper bound on entropy which applies to both open and closed surfaces, independently of shape or location. It reduces to the Bekenstein bound whenever the latter is expected to hold, but complements it with novel bounds when gravity dominates. In particular, it remains valid in closed FRW cosmologies and in the interior of black holes. We give an explicit construction for obtaining holographic screens in arbitrary space-times (which need not have a boundary). This may aid the search for non-perturbative definitions of quantum gravity in space-times other than AdS.

Under the hypotheses of analyticity, locality, Lorentz covariance, and Poincare invariance of the deformations, combined with the requirement that the interaction vertices contain at most two spatiotemporal derivatives of the fields, we investigate the consistent selfinteractions that can be added to a collection of massless tensor fields with the mixed symmetry (3,1) and respectively (2,2). The computations are done with the help of the deformation theory based on a cohomological approach, in the context of the antifield-BRST formalism. Our result is that no selfinteractions that deform the original gauge transformations emerge. In the case of the collection of (2,2) tensor fields it is possible to add a sum of cosmological terms to the free Lagrangian.

The sine-Gordon model on the half-line with a dynamical boundary introduced by Delius and one of the authors is considered at quantum level. Classical boundary conditions associated with classical integrability are shown to be preserved at quantum level too. Non-local conserved charges are constructed explicitly in terms of the field and boundary operators. We solve the intertwining equation associated with a certain coideal subalgebra of $U_q(\hat{sl_2})$ generated by these non-local charges. The corresponding solution is shown to satisfy quantum boundary Yang-Baxter equations. Up to an exact relation between the quantization length of the boundary quantum mechanical system and the sine-Gordon coupling constant, we conjecture the soliton/antisoliton reflection matrix and boundstates reflection matrices. The structure of the boundary state is then considered, and shown to be divided in two sectors. Also, depending on the sine-Gordon coupling constant a finite set of boundary bound states are identified. Taking the analytic continuation of the coupling, the corresponding boundary sinh-Gordon model is briefly discussed. In particular, the particle reflection factor enjoys weak-strong coupling duality.

We obtain the most general static intersecting brane solutions by directly solving the relevant equations of motion analytically and in complete generality. These solutions reduce to the known ones in special cases, and contain further a class of new static solutions which are horizonless. We describe their properties and discuss their physical relevance. Along the way, we also describe the features of the brane energy momentum tensors, the equations of motion, and their solutions which arise as consequences of the intersection rules and the U duality symmetries of M theory.

Complex structure moduli of a Calabi-Yau threefold in $N=1$ supersymmetric heterotic compactifications can be stabilized by holomorphic vector bundles. The stabilized moduli are determined by a computation of Atiyah class. In this paper, we study how this mechanism work in the context of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds where complex structure moduli space contains two kinds of moduli, ones from base and ones from fibration. With spectral cover bundles, we find three types of situations when holomorphicity of bundles is determined by algebraic cycles supported on special choice of complex structure, which allows us to stabilize both of these two moduli. We present concrete examples for each type and develop practical tools to analyze the stabilized moduli. Finally, by checking the holomorphicity of the four-flux and/or local Higgs bundle data in F-theory, we briefly study the dual complex structure moduli stabilization scenarios.

In this paper, we have analytically investigated $p$-wave holographic superconductor in the framework of massive gravity in the probe limit. We obtained the analytical expressions for the critical temperature, the value of the condensate operator, and the difference of the free energy between the superconductor and normal phases. We studied the behavior of these quantities in the presence of the mass of graviton, which is found to be dependent almost on the sign of the massive gravity couplings. The critical temperature becomes (lower)higher and the condensate value gets (larger)smaller with (decreasing)increasing the massive gravity couplings or increasing the mass of graviton with the sufficiently (negative)positive massive gravity couplings. This fact corresponds to that the superconductor phase is (more)less thermodynamically favored.

We develop a new setting in the framework of braneworld holography to describe a pair of coupled and entangled uniformly accelerated universes. The model consists of two branes embedded into AdS space capping off the UV and IR regions, giving rise to a notion of dS wedge holography. Specializing in a three-dimensional bulk, we show that dS JT gravity can emerge as an effective braneworld theory, provided that fluctuations transverse to the brane are included. We study the holographic entanglement entropy between the branes as well as the holographic complexity within the `complexity=anything' proposal. We reproduce a Page curve with respect to an observer collecting radiation on the UV brane, as long as we take the limit where gravity decouples in that universe, thus acting as a non-gravitating bath. The Page curve emerges due to momentum-space (UV/IR) entanglement and can be understood as analogous to the `confinement-deconfinement' transition in theories with a mass gap. Moreover, the analysis of complexity shows that the hyperfast growth phenomenon is displayed within a set of proposals, while late-time linear growth can be recovered for a different set. Our framework thus provides new test grounds for understanding quantum information concepts in dS space and dS holography.

The scalar field spans a one-parameter family of 2d K\"ahler manifolds satisfying a K\"ahler-Ricci flow equation. We find that BPS equations and the scalar potential deform with respect to the real parameter related to the K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. In addition, the analysis using gradient and renormalization group flows are carried out to ensure the existence of Lorentz invariant vacua related to Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence.

Fractional strings in the spectrum of states of open strings attached to a multiply wound D-brane is explained. We first describe the fractional string states in the low-energy effective theory where the topology of multiple winding is encoded in the gauge holonomy. The holonomy induces twisted boundary conditions responsible for the fractional moding of these states. We also describe fractional strings in world sheet formulation and compute simple scattering amplitudes for Hawking emission/absorption. Generalization to fractional DN-strings in a 1-brane 5-brane bound state is described. When a 1-brane and a 5-brane wraps $Q_1$ and $Q_5$ times respectively around a circle, the momentum of DN-strings is quantized in units of $2 \pi/L Q_1 Q_5$. These fractional states appear naturally in the perturbative spectrum of the theory.

The supergravity dual of $N$ regular and $M$ fractional D3-branes on the conifold has a naked singularity in the infrared. Supersymmetric resolution of this singularity requires deforming the conifold: this is the supergravity dual of chiral symmetry breaking. Buchel suggested that at sufficiently high temperature there is no need to deform the conifold: the singularity may be cloaked by a horizon. This would be the supergravity manifestation of chiral symmetry restoration. In previous work [hep-th/0102105] the ansatz and the system of second-order radial differential equations necessary to find such a solution were written down. In this paper we find smooth solutions to this system in a perturbation theory that is valid when the Hawking temperature of the horizon is very high.

We argue that Hitchin's equation determines not only the low energy effective theory but also describes the UV theory of four dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories when we compactify six dimensional $A_N$ $(0,2)$ theory on a punctured Riemann surface. We study the singular solution to Hitchin's equation and the Higgs field of solutions has a simple pole at the punctures; We show that the massless theory is associated with Higgs field whose residual is a nilpotent element; We identify the flavor symmetry associated with the puncture by studying the singularity of closure of the moduli space of solutions with the appropriate boundary conditions. For the mass-deformed theory the residual of the Higgs field is a semi-simple element, we identify the semi-simple element by arguing that the moduli space of solutions of mass-deformed theory must be a deformation of the closure of the moduli space of the massless theory. We also study the Seiberg-Witten curve by identifying it as the spectral curve of the Hitchin's system. The results are all in agreement with Gaiotto's results derived from studying the Seiberg-Witten curve of four dimensional quiver gauge theory.

We study the singular solution to Hitchin's equation and the Higgs field of solutions has a simple pole at the punctures; We show that the massless theory is associated with Higgs field whose residual is a nilpotent element; We identify the flavor symmetry associated with the puncture by studying the singularity of closure of the moduli space of solutions with the appropriate boundary conditions. For the mass-deformed theory the residual of the Higgs field is a semi-simple element, we identify the semi-simple element by arguing that the moduli space of solutions of mass-deformed theory must be a deformation of the closure of the moduli space of the massless theory. We also study the Seiberg-Witten curve by identifying it as the spectral curve of the Hitchin's system. The results are all in agreement with Gaiotto's results derived from studying the Seiberg-Witten curve of four dimensional quiver gauge theory.

We derive the couplings of the 3-form supermultiplet to the general supergravity-matter-Yang-Mills system. Based on the methods of superspace geometry, we identify component fields, establish their supergravity transformations and construct invariant component field actions. Two specific applications are adressed: the appearance of fundamental 3-forms in the context of strong-weak duality and the use of the 3-form supermultiplets to describe effective degrees of freedom relevant to the mechanism of gaugino condensation.

This manuscript stands at the interface between combinatorial Hopf algebra theory and renormalization theory. Its plan is as follows: Section 1 is the introduction, and contains as well an elementary invitation to the subject. The rest of part I, comprising Sections 2-6, is devoted to the basics of Hopf algebra theory and examples, in ascending level of complexity. Part II turns around the all-important Faa di Bruno Hopf algebra. Section 7 contains a first, direct approach to it. Section 8 gives applications of the Faa di Bruno algebra to quantum field theory and Lagrange reversion. Section 9 rederives the related Connes-Moscovici algebras. In Part III we turn to the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebras of Feynman graphs and, more generally, to incidence bialgebras. In Section10 we describe the first. Then in Section11 we give a simple derivation of (the properly combinatorial part of) Zimmermann's cancellation-free method, in its original diagrammatic form. In Section 12 general incidence algebras are introduced, and the Faa di Bruno bialgebras are described as incidence bialgebras. In Section 13, deeper lore on Rota's incidence algebras allows us to reinterpret Connes-Kreimer algebras in terms of distributive lattices. Next, the general algebraic-combinatorial proof of the cancellation-free formula for antipodes is ascertained; this is the heart of the paper. The structure results for commutative Hopf algebras are found in Sections 14 and 15. An outlook section very briefly reviews the coalgebraic aspects of quantization and the Rota-Baxter map in renormalization.

We study the translational invariance of the relative-locality framework proposed in arXiv:1101.0931, which had been previously established only for the case of a single interaction. We provide an explicit example of boundary conditions at endpoints of worldlines, which indeed ensures the desired translational invariance for processes involving several interactions, even when some of the interactions are causally connected (particle exchange). We illustrate the properties of the associated relativistic description of distant observers within the example of a $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-inspired momentum-space geometry, with de Sitter metric and parallel transport governed by a non-metric and torsionful connection. We find that in such a theory simultaneously-emitted massless particles do not reach simultaneously a distant detector, as expected in light of the findings of arXiv:1103.5626 on the implications of non-metric connections. We also show that the theory admits a free-particle limit, where the relative-locality results of arXiv:1102.4637 are reproduced. We establish that the torsion of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e connection introduces a small (but observably-large) dependence of the time of detection, for simultaneously-emitted particles, on some properties of the interactions producing the particles at the source.

A novel mass generation procedure for an Abelian vector field is proposed. This procedure is based on the construction of a class of gauge theories whose free limit describes a free massless vector field and a set of massless real scalar fields by means of the antifield-BRST deformation technique. The relationship between our results and those arising from the Higgs mechanism based on the spontaneous symmetry breaking of an Abelian gauge symmetry is emphasized.

Pure backgrounds are a natural generalization of supersymmetric Calabi-Yau compactifications in the presence of flux. They are described in the language of generalized SU(d) x SU(d) structures and generalized complex geometry, and they exhibit some interesting general patterns: the internal manifold is generalized Calabi-Yau, while the Ramond-Ramond flux is exact in a precise sense discussed in this paper. We have shown that although these two characteristics do persist in the case of generic ten-dimensional Euclidean type II pure backgrounds, they do not capture the full content of supersymmetry. We also discuss the uplift of real Euclidean type IIA pure backgrounds to supersymmetric backgrounds of Lorentzian eleven-dimensional supergravity.

In this article, building on our recent investigations and motivated by the fuzzball-paradigm, we explore normal modes of a probe massless scalar field in the rotating BTZ-geometry in an asymptotically AdS spacetime and correspondingly obtain the Spectral Form Factor (SFF) of the scalar field. In particular, we analyze the SFF obtained from the single-particle partition function. We observe that, a non-trivial Dip-Ramp-Plateau structure, with a Ramp of slope one (within numerical precision) exists in the SFF which is obtained from the grand-canonical partition function. This behaviour is observed to remain stable close to extremality as well. However, at exact extremality, we observe a loss of the DRP-structure in the corresponding SFF. Technically, we have used two methods to obtain our results: (i) An explicit and direct numerical solution of the boundary conditions to obtain the normal modes, (ii) A WKB-approximation, which yields analytic, semi-analytic and efficient numerical solutions for the modes in various regimes. We further re-visit the non-rotating case and elucidate the effectiveness of the WKB-approximation in this case, which allows for an analytic expression of the normal modes in the regime where a level-repulsion exists. This regime corresponds to the lower end of the spectrum as a function of the scalar angular momentum. By analyzing the classical stress-tensor of the probe sector, we further demonstrate that the back-reaction of the scalar field grows fast as the angular momenta of the scalar modes increase in the large angular momenta regime, while the back-reaction remains controllably small in the regime where the spectrum has non-trivial level correlations. This further justifies cutting the spectrum off at a suitable value of the scalar angular momenta, beyond which the scalar back-reaction significantly modifies the background geometry.

We find that in the two fixed points, there are emergent Fermi-surface structures and many properties seem to be in agreement with that of Fermi liquid. Especially, the low energy behavior exhibits a linear dispersion relation. In addition, we also find that a holographic flat band also emerges in this background of the dilatonic black brane.

We study the Factorization Paradox from the bottom up by adapting methods from perturbative renormalization. Just as quantum field theories are plagued with loop divergences that need to be cancelled systematically by introducing counterterms, gravitational path integrals are plagued by wormhole contributions that spoil the factorization of the holographic dual. These wormholes must be cancelled by some stringy effects in a UV complete, holographic theory of quantum gravity. In a simple model of two-dimensional topological gravity, we outline a gravitational analog of the recursive BPHZ procedure in order to systematically introduce ``counter-wormholes" which parametrize the unknown stringy effects that lead to factorization. Underlying this procedure is a Hopf algebra of symmetries which is analogous to the Connes--Kreimer Hopf algebra underlying perturbative renormalization. The group dual to this Hopf algebra acts to reorganize contributions from spacetimes with distinct topology, and can be seen as a gauge group relating various equivalent ways of constructing a factorizing gravitational path integral.

Holographic strange metals are known to have a power law resistivity rising with temperature, which is reminiscent of the strange metal phases in condensed matter systems. In some holographic models, however, the exponent of the power law in the resistivity can be negative. In this case one encounters phases with diverging resistivity at zero temperature: holographic strange insulators. These states arise as a result of translational symmetry breaking in the system, which can either be strong explicit and relevant in the IR, or spontaneous, but pinned by a small explicit source. In some regards, one can associate these two classes to the normal band insulators due to the strong ionic potential, and Mott insulator due to the commensurate lock in of the charge density wave. We study different features of these classes on the explicit example of a holographic helical model with homogeneous Bianchy VII type translational symmetry breaking, and uncover the main mechanisms underlying transport in these two cases. We find that while transport in the explicit relevant case is governed by the incoherent conductivity, in the pinned spontaneous case the leading contribution comes from the coherent part.

We construct a three family flipped SU(5) model from the heterotic string theory compactified on the $\Z_{12-I}$ orbifold with one Wilson line. The gauge group is $\rm SU(5)\times U(1)_X\times U(1)^2\times[SU(2)\times SO(10)\times U(1)^2]^\prime$. This model does not derive any nonabelian group except SU(5) from $E_8$, which is possible only for two cases in case of one shift $V$, one in ${\bf Z}_{12-I}$ and the other in ${\bf Z}_{12-II}$. We present all possible Yukawa couplings. We place the third quark family in the twisted sectors and two light quark families in the untwisted sector. From the Yukawa couplings, the model provides the R-parity, the doublet-triplet splitting, and one pair of Higgs doublets. It is also shown that quark and lepton mixings are possible. So far we have not encountered a serious phenomenological problem. There exist vectorlike flavor SU(5) exotics (including \Qem=$\pm\frac16$ color exotics and \Qem=$\pm\frac12$ electromagnetic exotics) and SU(5) vectorlike singlet exotics with \Qem=$\pm\frac12$ which can be removed near the GUT scale. In this model, ${\rm sin}^2\theta_W^0={3/8}$ at the full unification scale.

We study an extension of the gravity dual to a perfect fluid model found by Janik and Peschanski. By relaxing one of the constraints, namely invariance under reflection in the longitudinal direction, we introduce a metric ansatz which includes off-diagonal terms. We also include an $R$-charge following Bak and Janik. We solve the Maxwell-Einstein equations and through holographic renormalization, we show that the off-diagonal components of the bulk metric give rise to heat conduction in the corresponding CFT on the boundary.
