The solution representing a brane-anti-brane system in matrix models breaks the usual matrix spacetime symmetry. We show that the spacetime symmetry on the branes is not breaking, rather appears as a combination of the matrix spacetime transformation and a gauge transformation. As a result, the tachyon field, itself an off-diagonal entry in longitudinal matrices, transforms nontrivially under rotations, decomposing into tensors of different ranks. We also show that the tachyon field can never be gauged away, and conjecture that this field is related to the usual complex scalar tachyon by a field redefinition. We also briefly discuss tachyon condensation.

In this paper, we compute the WQFT partition function, specifically the eikonal phase in a black hole scattering event in the dynamical Chern-Simons theory, using the techniques of spinning worldline quantum field theory. We consider the scattering of spinning black holes and highlight the necessary details for the calculation of the partition function. We present the $\epsilon$-expansion of the essential two-loop integrals using Integration-by-Parts (IBP) reduction and differential equation techniques, which we then utilize to compute the linear-in-order spin eikonal phase up to 3PM. Additionally, we discuss the dependence of the phase on the spin orientations of the black holes.

General relativity allows for inhomogeneous and anisotropic universes with finite action. By contrast, in quadratic gravity such solutions obtain infinite action and are thus eliminated. What remains are homogeneous and isotropic solutions undergoing accelerated expansion, thereby automatically inducing an early inflationary phase. In this manner, semi-classical consistency may explain some of the basic, coarse-grained features of the early universe. This includes suitable initial conditions for the second law of thermodynamics, in the spirit of the Weyl curvature hypothesis. We note that quadratic gravity is a renormalisable theory and may admit an asymptotically safe regime at high energies, rendering the theory trustworthy to high energies. We also comment on theories containing curvature terms up to infinite derivative order, and on the contrast with no-boundary initial conditions.

We elaborate on a minimal inflation scenario based entirely on the general properties of supersymmetry breaking in supergravity models. We identify the inflaton as the scalar component of the Goldstino superfield. We write plausible candidates for the effective action describing this chiral superfield. In particular the theory depends (apart from parameters of O(1)) on a single free parameter: the scale of supersymmetry breaking. This can be fixed using the amplitude of CMB cosmological perturbations and we therefore obtain the scale of supersymmetry breaking to be 10^{12-14} GeV. The model also incorporates explicit R-symmetry breaking in order to satisfy the slow roll conditions. In our model the eta-problem is solved without extra fine-tuning. We try to obtain as much information as possible in a model independent way using general symmetry properties of the theory's effective action, this leads to a new proposal on how to exit the inflationary phase and reheat the Universe.

We explore the supersymmetric partition functions of 6d SCFTs on $\mathbb{R}^4\times T^2$ with non-vanishing charges for compatible global symmetries. We utilize the elliptic genera for self-dual strings and compute the free energy of 6d SCFTs in the Cardy limit. For a 6d (2,0) theory on $N$ M5-brane, we obtain the free energy proportional to $N^3$. We find that the origin of $N^3$ comes from the condensation of the self-dual strings, whose total number is proportional to ${N^3-N\over 6}$. We further extend our analysis to the general E-string theory and obtain its Cardy free energy.

We give a full classification of the multi-charge supersymmetric $p$-brane solutions in the massless and massive maximal supergravities in dimensions $D\ge2$ obtained from the toroidal reduction of eleven-dimensional supergravity. We derive simple universal rules for determining the fractions of supersymmetry that they preserve. By reversing the steps of dimensional reduction, the $p$-brane solutions become intersections of $p$-branes, NUTs and waves in D=10 or D=11. Having classified the lower-dimensional $p$-branes, this provides a classification of all the intersections in D=10 and D=11 where the harmonic functions depend on the space transverse to all the individual objects. We also discuss the structure of U-duality multiplets of $p$-brane solutions, and show how these translate into multiplets of harmonic and non-harmonic intersections.

We provide the first holographic evidence for the existence of a non-supersymmetric conformal manifold arising from exactly marginal but supersymmetry-breaking deformations of a superconformal three-dimensional field theory. In particular, we construct a 2-parameter non-supersymmetric deformation of a supersymmetric AdS non-geometric background in Type IIB string theory. We prove that the non-supersymmetric backgrounds are perturbatively stable and also do not suffer from various non-perturbative instabilities. Finally, we argue that diffeomorphism symmetry protects our solutions against higher-derivative string corrections.

We propose a method for the calculation of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) given a non-trivial, long-distance vacuum wave functional (VWF) of the kind that arises, for example, in variational calculations. The VEV is written in terms of a Schr\"odinger-picture path integral, then a local expansion for (the logarithm of the) VWF is used. The integral is regulated with an explicit momentum cut-off, $\Lambda$. The resulting series is not expected to converge for $\Lambda$ larger than the mass-gap but studying the domain of analyticity of the VEVs allows us to use analytic continuation to estimate the large-$\Lambda$ limit. Scalar theory in 1+1 dimensions is analyzed, where (as in the case of Yang-Mills) we do not expect boundary divergences.

We find the terms in the nonabelian world-volume action of a system of many Dp-branes which describe the leading coupling to all type II supergravity background fields. These results are found by T-dualizing earlier results for D0-branes, which in turn were determined from calculations of the M(atrix) theory description of the supercurrent of 11D supergravity. Our results are compatible with earlier results on the supersymmetric Born-Infeld action for a single D-brane in a general background and with Tseytlin's symmetrized trace proposal for extending the abelian Born-Infeld action to a nonabelian theory. In the case p = 3, the operators we find on the D-brane world-volume are closely related to those which couple to supergravity fields in the AdS_5 * S^5 IIB supergravity background. This gives an explicit construction, including normalization, of some of the operators used in the celebrated AdS/CFT correspondence for 3-branes. We also discuss the S-duality of the action in the case p = 3, finding that the S-duality of the action determines how certain operators in the 4D N = 4 SYM theory transform under S-duality. These S-duality results give some new insight into the puzzle of the transverse 5-brane in M(atrix) theory.

Recently, the stochastic dynamical model based on the free energy landscape was proposed to quantify the kinetics of the black hole phase transition. An essential concept is the generalized free energy of the fluctuating black hole, which was defined in terms of the thermodynamic relation previously. In this work, by employing the Gibbons-Hawking path integral approach to black hole thermodynamics, we show that the generalized free energy can be derived from the Einstein-Hilbert action of the Euclidean gravitational instanton with the conical singularity. This work provides a concrete and solid foundation for the free energy landscape formalism of black hole phase transition.

The aim of this work is to study finite dimensional representations of the Lie superalgebra psl(2|2) and their tensor products. In particular, we shall decompose all tensor products involving typical (long) and atypical (short) representations as well as their so-called projective covers. While tensor products of long multiplets and projective covers close among themselves, we shall find an infinite family of new indecomposables in the tensor products of two short multiplets. Our note concludes with a few remarks on possible applications to the construction of AdS_3 backgrounds in string theory.

We study the quantum structure of four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superfield sigma-model formulated in harmonic superspace in terms of the omega-hypermultiplet superfield $\omega$. The model is described by harmonic superfield sigma-model metric $g_{ab}(\omega)$ and two potential-like superfields $L^{++}_{a}(\omega)$ and $L^{(+4)}(\omega)$. In bosonic component sector this model describes some hyper-K\"{a}hler manifold. The manifestly ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric covariant background-quantum splitting is constructed and the superfield proper-time technique is developed to calculate the one-loop effective action.

We study the quantum structure of four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superfield sigma-model formulated in harmonic superspace in terms of the omega-hypermultiplet superfield $\omega$. The model is described by harmonic superfield sigma-model metric $g_{ab}(\omega)$ and two potential-like superfields $L^{++}_{a}(\omega)$ and $L^{(+4)}(\omega)$. In bosonic component sector this model describes some hyper-K\"{a}hler manifold. The manifestly ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric covariant background-quantum splitting is constructed and the superfield proper-time technique is developed to calculate the one-loop effective action. The one-loop divergences of the superfield effective action are found for arbitrary $g_{ab}(\omega), L^{++}_{a}(\omega), L^{(+4)}(\omega)$, where some specific analogy between the algebra of covariant derivatives in the sigma-model and the corresponding algebra in the ${\cal N}=2$ SYM theory is used.

We consider gauged Wess-Zumino models based on the non compact group $SU(2,1)$. It is shown that by vector gauging the maximal compact subgroup $U(2)$ the resulting backgrounds obey the gravity-dilaton one loop string vacuum equations of motion in four dimensional euclidean space. The torsionless solution is then interpreted as a pseudo-instanton of the $d=4$ Liouville theory coupled to gravity. The presence of a traslational isometry in the model allows to get another string vacuum backgrounds by using target duality that we identify with those corresponding to the axial gauging. We also compute the exact backgrounds. Depending on the value of $k$, they may be interpreted as instantons connecting a highly singular big bang like universe with a static singular or regular black plane geometry.

We review the status of microscopic counting of rotating black hole degrees of freedom. We present two complementary approaches which both utilize the near-horizon geometry and precisely reproduce the Bekenstein Hawking entropy for near-extreme rotating black holes in D=4 and D=5. The first one, proposed by Strominger, is applicable for the Ramond-Ramond sector and relies on the correspondence between the near-horizon geometry and the conformal field theory on its boundary. The second one (somewhat more heuristic), employs the conformal sigma-model in the Neveu-Schwarz-Neveu-Schwarz sector and accounts for the black hole microstates by counting the small scale oscillations of the dyonic string there. We also present the wave equation for the minimally coupled scalars for such rotating black hole background, and discuss its implication for the greybody factors. The results are illustrated for the prototype D=5 rotating black hole.

Using the exact renormalization group (ERG) formalism, we study the gauge invariant composite operators in QED. Gauge invariant composite operators are introduced as infinitesimal changes of the gauge invariant Wilson action. We examine the dependence on the gauge fixing parameter of both the Wilson action and gauge invariant composite operators. After defining ``gauge fixing parameter independence,'' we show that any gauge independent composite operators can be made ``gauge fixing parameter independent'' by appropriate normalization. As an application, we give a concise but careful proof of the Adler-Bardeen non-renormalization theorem for the axial anomaly in an arbitrary covariant gauge by extending the original proof by A. Zee.

As a result, a bosonized superconformal symmetry is identified in the system. Different self-adjoint extensions of the Aharonov-Bohm problem are studied in the light of this superconformal structure and interacting anyons.

In this paper we study in detail the deformations introduced in [1] of the integrable structures of the AdS$_{2,3}$ integrable models. We do this by embedding the corresponding scattering matrices into the most general solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We show that there are several non-trivial embeddings and corresponding deformations. We work out crossing symmetry for these models and study their symmetry algebras and representations. In particular, we identify a new elliptic deformation of the $\rm AdS_3 \times S^3 \times M^4$ string sigma model.

We consider an extension of the Standard Model within the frame work of Noncommutative Geometry. The model is based on an older model [St09] which extends the Standard Model by new fermions, a new U(1)-gauge group and, crucially, a new scalar field which couples to the Higgs field. This new scalar field allows to lower the mass of the Higgs mass from ~170 GeV, as predicted by the Spectral Action for the Standard Model, to a value of 120-130 GeV. The short-coming of the previous model lay in its inability to meet all the constraints on the gauge couplings implied by the Spectral Action. These shortcomings are cured in the present model which also features a "dark sector" containing fermions and scalar particles.

Inspired by the topological sign-flip definition of the Amplituhedron, we introduce similar, but distinct, positive geometries relevant for one-loop scattering amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. The simplest geometries are those with the maximal number of sign flips, and turn out to be associated with chiral octagons previously studied in the context of infrared (IR) finite, pure and dual conformal invariant local integrals. Our result bridges two different themes of the modern amplitudes program: positive geometry and Feynman integrals.

In the known examples of flux vacua with calibrated spacetime-filling sources (branes or orientifold planes), one can smear the source in order to perform a standard KK reduction and obtain a lower-dimensional supergravity description. Furthermore, it is expected that the smeared and localized solution preserve equal amounts of supersymmetry. In this note we point out that the $\mathrm{AdS}_7$ solution discussed in arXiv:1111.2605 and arXiv:1309.2949 is a counterexample to this common lore. The solution is supersymmetric when the spacetime-filling D6-branes are localized but breaks supersymmetry in the smeared limit. By using the embedding tensor formalism we demonstrate that there is no gauged supergravity description for the solution, regardless of the source being smeared or not. We conjecture that for flux solutions with separation between the KK scale and the AdS radius this cannot occur.

The equations of motion of quantum Yang - Mills theory (in the planar `large N' limit), when formulated in Loop-space are shown to have an anomalous term, which makes them analogous to the equations of motion of WZW models. The anomaly is the Jacobian of the change of variables from the usual ones i.e. the connection one form $A $, to the holonomy $U$. An infinite dimensional Lie algebra related to this change of variables (the Lie algebra of loop substitutions) is developed, and the anomaly is interpreted as an element of the first cohomology of this Lie algebra. The Migdal-Makeenko equations are shown to be the condition for the invariance of the Yang-Mills generating functional $Z$ under the action of the generators of this Lie algebra. Connections of this formalism to the collective field approach of Jevicki and Sakita are also discussed.

We consider a semiclassical multiwrapped circular string pulsating on S_5, whose center of mass has angular momentum J on an S_3 subspace. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we argue that the one-loop anomalous dimension of the dual operator is a simple rational function of J/L, where J is the R-charge and L is the bare dimension of the operator. We then reproduce this result directly from a super Yang-Mills computation, where we make use of the integrability of the one-loop system to set up an integral equation that we solve. We then verify the results of Frolov and Tseytlin for circular rotating strings with R-charge assignment (J',J',J). In this case we solve for an integral equation found in the O(-1) matrix model when J'< J and the O(+1) matrix model if J'> J. The latter region starts at J'=L/2 and continues down, but an apparent critical point is reached at J'=4J. We argue that the critical point is just an artifact of the Bethe ansatz and that the conserved charges of the underlying integrable model are analytic for all J' and that the results from the O(-1) model continue onto the results of the O(+1) model.

We study a new model of scalar field with a general non-minimal kinetic coupling to itself and to the curvature, as a source of dark energy, and analyze the cosmological dynamics of this model and the issue of accelerated expansion. A wide variety of scalar fields and potentials giving rise to power-law expansion have been found. The dynamical equation of state is studied for the two cases, without and with free kinetic term . In the first case, a behavior very close to that of the cosmological constant was found. In the second case, a solution was found, which match the current phenomenology of the dark energy. The model shows a rich variety of dynamical scenarios.

In the first case, a behavior very close to that of the cosmological constant was found. In the second case, a solution was found, which match the current phenomenology of the dark energy. The model shows a rich variety of dynamical scenarios.

We investigate the CGHS model through numerical calculation. The behavior of the mass function, which we introduced in our previous work as a ``local mass'', is examined. We found that the mass function takes negative values, which means that the amount of Hawking radiation becomes greater than the initial mass of the black hole as in the case of the RST model.

We construct numerically finite density domain-wall solutions which interpolate between two $AdS_4$ fixed points and exhibit an intermediate regime of hyperscaling violation, with or without Lifshitz scaling. Such RG flows can be realized in gravitational models containing a dilatonic scalar and a massive vector field with appropriate choices of the scalar potential and couplings. The infrared $AdS_4$ fixed point describes a new ground state for strongly coupled quantum systems realizing such scalings, thus avoiding the well-known extensive zero temperature entropy associated with $AdS_2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$. We also examine the zero temperature behavior of the optical conductivity in these backgrounds and identify two scaling regimes before the UV CFT scaling is reached. The scaling of the conductivity is controlled by the emergent IR conformal symmetry at very low frequencies, and by the intermediate scaling regime at higher frequencies.

In this study, we analyzed the impact of a perfect fluid on the phase transition of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes within the Rastall gravitational background. Compared to similar studies in the literature, the findings of this work are highlighted by the determination of analytical expressions for critical points for charged and Kerr-Newman AdS black holes using approximated formulas for the horizon radius. An accurate analysis of these new analytical expressions allowed us to discover a new viable condition that relates the Rastall parameter \k{appa}{\lambda} to the equation of state parameter {\omega}, expressed as: \k{appa}{\lambda} = {\omega}/(1+{\omega}). Thanks to this new condition, we were able to reproduce all the analytical expressions of critical points calculated within the framework of Einstein\^as general relativity for two cases: a charged AdS black hole and a rotating AdS black hole. These findings suggest that Rastall gravity, considering this new condition, could serve as an alternative theory of gravitation to general relativity. The approximate expression of the horizon radius also enabled the exploration of the distinctiveness of fractional-order phase transitions in these AdS black holes. Furthermore, we calculated the critical exponents, offering insights into the behavior of crucial thermodynamic quantities near the inflection point. Examining how a perfect fluid influences phase transition reveals various critical behaviors, demonstrating that the variation in the phase transition depends on the intensity of the perfect fluid. Notably, this variation is portrayed by a linearly increasing trajectory with the escalation of this intensity.

We systematically construct a class of two-dimensional $(2,2)$ supersymmetric gauged linear sigma models with phases in which a continuous subgroup of the gauge group is totally unbroken. We study some of their properties by employing a recently developed technique. The focus of the present work is on models with one K\"ahler parameter. The models include those corresponding to Calabi-Yau threefolds, extending three examples found earlier by a few more, as well as Calabi-Yau manifolds of other dimensions and non-Calabi-Yau manifolds. The construction leads to predictions of equivalences of D-brane categories, systematically extending earlier examples. There is another type of surprise. Two distinct superconformal field theories corresponding to Calabi-Yau threefolds with different Hodge numbers, $h^{2,1}=23$ versus $h^{2,1}=59$, have exactly the same quantum K\"ahler moduli space. The strong-weak duality plays a crucial r\^ole in confirming this, and also is useful in the actual computation of the metric on the moduli space.

We consider the generation of thick brane configurations in a pure geometric Weyl integrable 5D space time which constitutes a non-Riemannian generalization of Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory. In this framework, we show how 4D gravity can be localized on a scalar thick brane which does not necessarily respect reflection symmetry, generalizing in this way several previous models based on the Randall-Sundrum (RS) system and avoiding both, the restriction to orbifold geometries and the introduction of the branes in the action by hand. We first obtain a thick brane solution that preserves 4D Poincar'e invariance and breaks Z_2-symmetry along the extra dimension which, indeed, can be either compact or extended, and supplements brane solutions previously found by other authors. In the non-compact case, this field configuration represents a thick brane with positive energy density centered at y=c_2, whereas pairs of thick branes arise in the compact case. Remarkably, the Weylian scalar curvature is non-singular along the fifth dimension in the non-compact case, in contraposition to the RS thin brane system. We also recast the wave equations of the transverse traceless modes of the linear fluctuations of the classical background into a Schr"odinger's equation form with a volcano potential of finite bottom in both the compact and the extended cases. We solve Schr"odinger equation for the massless zero mode m^2=0 and obtain a single bound wave function which represents a stable 4D graviton. We also get a continuum gapless spectrum of KK states with m^2>0 that are suppressed at y=c_2 and turn asymptotically into plane waves.

In this paper, we recall Richardson's solution of the reduced BCS model, its relationship with the Gaudin model, and the known implementation of these models in conformal field theory. The CFT techniques applied here are based on the use of the free field realization, or more precisely, on the calculation of saddle-point values of Coulomb gas integrals representing certain (perturbed) WZW conformal blocks. We identify the saddle-point limit as the classical limit of conformal blocks. We show that this observation implies a new method for calculating classical conformal blocks and can be further used in the study of quantum integrable models.

We show how to evade this no-go theorem by exhibiting new sources of brane charge: in string theory, the basic physical phenomenon is the generation of new brane charges from D-branes in transverse fluxes. In M-theory, there is a new source of M5-brane charge from novel higher derivative couplings that involve fluxes as well as curvatures. We present some explicit orientifold examples with both N=1 and N=2 space-time supersymmetry. Finally, we explain the status of massive type IIA flux compactifications.

Model independent arguments following from the Covariant Entropy Principle imply that causal diamonds in the very early universe were entirely filled with a single equilibrated system with finite entropy. A universe where this condition persists forever has no localized excitations. Our own universe appears to be headed toward such a state. Within a few hundred times its current age it will approach a state where our local group of galaxies sit in empty de Sitter space. Eventually, the local group collapse into a black hole, which evaporates. Localized excitations in de Sitter space are low entropy constrained states of the vacuum ensemble. The origin of these constraints must be in the early universe: the apparent horizon must expand after some initial period, in a constrained state that is the origin of all localized excitations in the universe. We argue that in global FRW coordinates, this corresponds to slow roll inflation that ends in a dilute gas of tiny black holes, with mass determined by the inflationary scale. We then review arguments that these black holes can account for the Hot Big Bang, baryogenesis, a distinctive pattern of CMB fluctuations, and possibly primordial black hole dark matter consisting of larger black holes that survive until the matter dominated era. The more complicated question of whether these small black holes can evolve in a way that is consistent with all observational constraints requires computer simulations that have not yet been done.

The gradient flow exact renormalization group (GFERG) is an idea that incorporates gauge invariant gradient flows into the formalism of the exact renormalization group (ERG). GFERG introduces a Wilson action with a cutoff while keeping vector gauge invariance manifestly. The details of the formalism are still to be worked out. In this paper, we apply GFERG to construct the Wilson action of massless Dirac fermions under the background chiral gauge fields. By formulating the chiral anomaly as a ``composite operator,'' we make the scale invariance of the anomaly manifest. We argue that the same result extends to QCD.

Nilpotent BRST operators for higher-spin $W_{2,s}$ strings, with currents of spins 2 and $s$, have recently been constructed for $s=4$, 5 and 6. In the case of $W_{2,4}$, this operator can be understood as being the BRST operator for the critical $W\!B_2$ string. In this paper, we construct a generalised BRST operator that can be associated with a non-critical $W_{2,4}$ string, in which $W\!B_2$ matter is coupled to the $W\!B_2$ gravity of the critical case. We also obtain the complete cohomology of the critical $W_{2,4}$ BRST operator, and investigate the physical spectra of the $s=5$ and $s=6$ string theories.

Nilpotent BRST operators for higher-spin $W_{2,s}$ strings, with currents of spins 2 and $s$, have recently been constructed for $s=4$, 5 and 6. In the case of $W_{2,4}$, this operator can be understood as being the BRST operator for the critical $W\!B_2$ string. In this paper, we construct a generalised BRST operator that can be associated with a non-critical $W_{2,4}$ string, in which $W\!B_2$ matter is coupled to the $W\!B_2$ gravity of the critical case. We also obtain the complete cohomology of the critical $W_{2,4}$ BRST operator, and investigate the physical spectra of the $s=5$ and $s=6$ string theories.

We obtain an explicit two-point function for the Maxwell field in flat Roberson-Walker spaces, thanks to a new gauge condition which takes the scale factor into account and assume a simple form. The two-point function is found to have the short distance Hadamard behavior.

We argue that the heterotic string does not have classical vacua corresponding to de Sitter space-times of dimension four or higher. The same conclusion applies to type II vacua in the absence of RR fluxes. Our argument extends prior supergravity no-go results to regimes of high curvature. We discuss the interpretation of the heterotic result from the perspective of dual type II orientifold constructions. Our result suggests that the genericity arguments used in string landscape discussions should be viewed with caution.

We study excitations and collisions of kinks in a scalar field theory where the potential has two minima with $Z_2$ symmetry. The field potential is designed to create a square well potential in the stability equation of the kink excitations. The stability equation is analogous to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, and therefore we use quantum mechanics techniques to study the system. We modify the square well potential continuously, which allows the excitation to tunnel and consequently turns the normal modes of the kink into quasinormal modes. We study the effect of this transition, leading to energy leak, on isolated kink excitations. Finally, we investigate kink-antikink collisions and the resulting scaling and fractal structure of the resonance windows considering both normal and quasinormal modes and compare the results.

In this paper we consider the drag force problem in the STU model. Already this problem and related topics were studied in ${\mathcal N}=4$ SYM theory. Here we study the same problem in ${\mathcal N}=2$ supergravity theory with an R-charge black hole (the STU model). This paper extends our previous work [1,2] by studying more general charge configurations and by taking into account the effect of a constant electromagnetic field and higher derivative corrections. We consider a single quark and a $q \bar q$ pair in a three charge non-extremal black hole background. First by using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we obtain the drag force, the diffusion coefficient, the total energy and momentum, quasinormal modes, and the effect of higher derivative corrections for the single quark. Next we calculate the drag force for a $q \bar q$ pair which rotates around its center of mass. For the first time we study the motion of a rotating $q \bar q$ pair in ${\mathcal N}=2$ supergravity theory. We show that our results in the near-extremal limit agree with the energy loss of the moving quark which was calculated in the ${\mathcal N}=4$ SYM plasma.

This paper studies F-theory SU(5) GUT models where the three generations of the standard model come from three different curves. All the matter is taken to come from curves intersecting at a point of enhanced E8 gauge symmetry. Giving a vev to some of the GUT singlets naturally implements a Froggatt-Nielsen approach to flavour structure. A scan is performed over all possible models and the results are filtered using phenomenological constraints. We find a unique model that fits observations of quark and lepton masses and mixing well. This model suffers from two drawbacks: R-parity must be imposed by hand and there is a doublet-triplet splitting problem.

Three dimensional black holes in a generalized dilaton gravity action theory are analysed. The theory is specified by two fields, the dilaton and the graviton, and two parameters, the cosmological constant and the Brans-Dicke parameter. It contains seven different cases, of which one distinguishes as special cases, string theory, general relativity and a theory equivalent to four dimensional general relativity with one Killing vector. We study the causal structure and geodesic motion of null and timelike particles in the black hole geometries and find the ADM masses of the different solutions.

We construct simple standing wave solutions in a 5D space-time with a ghost scalar field. The nodes of these standing waves are 'islands' of 4D Minkowski space-time. For the 5D model with increasing (decreasing) warp factor there are a finite (infinite) number of nodes and thus Minkowski island-universes having different parameters, such as gravitational and cosmological constants. This feature is similar to the assumptions of the landscape models, which postulate a large number of universes with different parameters. This standing wave solution also provides a new localization mechanism - matter fields can reside only on Minkowski 'islands', where the background space-time does not oscillate.

In an effective field theory approach to gravity, the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented by higher derivative terms. In the absence of matter, four derivative terms can be eliminated by a field redefinition. We use the Euclidean action to calculate analytically the corrections to thermodynamic quantities of the Kerr solution arising from terms with six or eight derivatives. The eight derivative terms make a non-negative correction to the entropy (at fixed mass and angular momentum) if their coefficients have appropriate signs. The correction from the six derivative terms does not have a definite sign.

In recent years, different views on the interpretation of Lorentz covariance of non commuting coordinates were discussed. Here, by a general procedure, we construct the minimal canonical central covariantisation of the k-Minkowski spacetime. We then show that, though the usual k-Minkowski spacetime is covariant under deformed (or twisted) Lorentz action, the resulting framework is equivalent to taking a non covariant restriction of the covariantised model. We conclude with some general comments on the approach of deformed covariance.

We present the details for the covariant renormalization of the stress tensor for vacuum tensor perturbations at the level of the effective action, adopting Hadamard regularization techniques to isolate short distance divergences and gauge fixing via the Faddeev-Popov procedure. The subsequently derived renormalized stress tensor can be related to more familiar forms reliant upon an averaging prescription, such as the Isaacson or Misner-Thorne-Wheeler forms. The latter, however, are premised on a prior scale separation (beyond which the averaging is invoked) and therefore unsuited for the purposes of renormalization. This can lead to potentially unphysical conclusions when taken as a starting point for the computation of any observable that needs regularization, such as the energy density associated to a stochastic background. Any averaging prescription, if needed, should only be invoked at the end of the renormalization procedure. The latter necessarily involves the imposition of renormalization conditions via a physical measurement at some fixed scale, which we retrace for primordial gravitational waves sourced from vacuum fluctuations through direct or indirect observation.

We explore three-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant via canonical quantization. We focus on chiral gravity which is related to a single copy of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ Chern-Simons theory and is simpler to treat in canonical quantization. Its phase space for an initial value surface $\Sigma$ is given by the appropriate moduli space of Riemann surfaces. We use geometric quantization to compute partition functions of chiral gravity on three-manifolds of the form $\Sigma \times \mathrm{S}^1$, where $\Sigma$ can have asymptotic boundaries. Most of these topologies do not admit a classical solution and are thus not amenable to a direct semiclassical path integral computation. We use an index theorem that expresses the partition function as an integral of characteristic classes over phase space. In the presence of $n$ asymptotic boundaries, we use techniques from equivariant cohomology to localize the integral to a finite-dimensional integral over $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, which we evaluate in low genus cases. Higher genus partition functions quickly become complicated since they depend in an oscillatory way on Newton's constant. There is a precise sense in which one can isolate the non-oscillatory part which we call the fake partition function. We establish that there is a topological recursion that computes the fake partition functions for arbitrary Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$. There is a scaling limit in which the model reduces to JT gravity and our methods give a novel way to compute JT partition functions via equivariant localization.

We use an index theorem that expresses the partition function as an integral of characteristic classes over phase space. In the presence of $n$ asymptotic boundaries, we use techniques from equivariant cohomology to localize the integral to a finite-dimensional integral over $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, which we evaluate in low genus cases. Higher genus partition functions quickly become complicated since they depend in an oscillatory way on Newton's constant. There is a precise sense in which one can isolate the non-oscillatory part which we call the fake partition function. We establish that there is a topological recursion that computes the fake partition functions for arbitrary Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$. There is a scaling limit in which the model reduces to JT gravity and our methods give a novel way to compute JT partition functions via equivariant localization.

A solution of effective string theory in four dimensions is presented which admits interpretation of a rotating black cosmic string. It is constructed by tensoring the three dimensional black hole, extended with the Kalb-Ramond axion, with a flat direction. The physical interpretation of the solution is discussed, with special attention on the axion, which is found to play a role very similar to a Higgs field. Finally, it is pointed out that the solution represents an exact WZWN $\sigma$ model on the string world sheet, to all orders in the inverse string tension $\alpha'$.

The celebrated holographic entanglement entropy triggered investigations on the connections between quantum information theory and quantum gravity. An important achievement is that we have gained more insights into the quantum states. It allows us to diagnose whether a given quantum state is a holographic state, a state whose bulk dual admits semiclassical geometrical description. The effective tool of this kind of diagnosis is holographic entropy cone (HEC), an entropy space bounded by holographic entropy inequalities allowed by the theory. To fix the HEC and to prove a given holographic entropy inequality, a proof-by-contraction technique has been developed. This method heavily depends on a contraction map $f$, which is very difficult to construct especially for more-region ($n\geq 4$) cases. In this work, we develop a general and effective rule to rule out most of the cases such that $f$ can be obtained in a relatively simple way. In addition, we extend the whole framework to relative homologous entropy, a generalization of holographic entanglement entropy that is suitable for characterizing the entanglement of mixed states.

If the present acceleration of the universe is due to a cosmological constant, \lambda, then the entropy of the microwave background is bounded. It cannot exceed \lambda^{-3/4} \sim 10^{91}, which is much less than the entropy of empty de Sitter space \lambda^{-1} \sim 10^{122}. This is due to the limited efficiency of storing entropy by local field theoretical degrees of freedom. The observed entropy of the microwave background is of O(10^{85}).

The crucial property of particle colliders is their ability to convert (e.g. electrical) energy into the mass of heavy particles. We have become used to the extremely low efficiency of this conversion and the severe limitations on the mass scale of heavy particles which can be reached. In view of this situation, it appears reasonable to ask whether a perfect conversion machine of this type (a perfect `collider') exists even in principle and whether there is a highest mass scale which can be reached by such a machine. It turns out that, with a number of assumptions, such a machine is conceivable in a world with a strongly-coupled, approximately scale invariant 4d field theory with 5d gravity dual. This machine can be realized as a 5d tower built on the IR brane (in Randall-Sundrum model language). Transporting mass to the tip of this tower is, under certain conditions, equivalent to producing heavy point-like 4d particles. Hence, this can be thought of as a perfect `collider'. In the simple, `pure Randall-Sundrum setting' that we analyse, this machine can only reach a certain maximal energy scale, which falls as the gravity-dual of the 4d QFT approaches the strong coupling domain. On these grounds, one might expect that a no-go theorem (in the spirit of that of Carnot for the conversion of heat into work) exists for weakly-coupled QFTs. We end with some speculations about collider efficiencies at weak coupling, involving possibly the concept of entanglement entropy.

We study the short multiplet spectrum in 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories of low rank using the full superconformal indices and the selection rules from the superconformal representation theory. We find a universal expression for the leading terms for the superconformal index of rank one $H_0, H_1, H_2, D_4, E_6, E_7$ theories. From this result, we argue that certain short multiplets appear in the operator product expansions involving stress-tensor, conserved current, and Coulomb branch operator vanish. We also apply the same procedure to 5d superconformal theories and find that $E_1$ theory has vanishing short multiplets analogous to that of the $H_1$ theory.

We study strings associated with minimal 6d SCFTs, which by definition have only one string charge and no Higgs branch. These theories are labelled by a number n with 1 <= n <= 8 or n = 12. Quiver theories have previously been proposed which describe strings of SCFTs for n = 1, 2. For n > 2 the strings interact with the bulk gauge symmetry. In this paper we find a quiver description for the n = 4 string using Sen's limit of F-theory and calculate its elliptic genus with localization techniques. This result is checked using the duality of F-theory with M-theory and topological string theory whose refined BPS partition function captures the elliptic genus of the SCFT strings. We use the topological string theory to gain insight into the elliptic genus for other values of n.

One of the powerful techniques to analyze the 5 dimensional Super Yang Mills theory with a massive hypermultiplet (N=1*) is provided by the AdS/CFT correspondence. It predicts that, for certain special values of the hypermultiplet mass, this theory develops nonperturbative branches of the moduli space as well as new light degrees of freedom. We use the higher dimensional generalization of the matrix model/gauge theory correspondence and recover all the prediction of the supergravity analysis. We construct the map between the four dimensional holomorphic superpotential and the five dimensional action and explicitly show that the superpotential is flat along the nonperturbative branches. This is the first instance in which the Dijkgraaf-Vafa method is used to analyze intrinsically higher dimensional phenomena.

We argue that discrete dynamics has natural links to the theory of analytic functions. Most important, bifurcations and chaotic dynamical properties are related to intersections of algebraic varieties. This paves the way to identification of boundaries of Mandelbrot sets with discriminant varieties in moduli spaces, which are the central objects in the worlds of chaos and order (integrability) respectively. To understand and exploit this relation one needs first to develop the theory of discrete dynamics as a solid branch of algebraic geometry, which so far did not pay enough attention to iterated maps. The basic object to study in this context is Julia sheaf over the universal Mandelbrot set. The base has a charateristic combinatorial structure, which can be revealed by resultant analysis and represented by a basic graph. Sections (Julia sets) are contractions of a unit disc, related to the action of Abelian $\bb{Z}$ group on the unit circle. Their singularities (bifurcations) are located at the points of the universal discriminant variety.

Local cubic vertex functions of three higher even spin fields on AdS_D are constructed from the Green function of three conserved currents that are dual to the higher spin fields. Conservation of the currents implies lowest order gauge invariance. These vertex functions appear by the UV divergence as the residue of the highest order pole in the dimensional regularization parameter \epsilon. The method works for even D and maintains covariance at any step. The resulting formula is quite concise.

In this paper we consider classical point particles in full interaction with an arbitrary number of dynamical scalar and (abelian) vector fields. It is shown that the requirement of stability ---vanishing self-force--- is sufficient to remove the well-known inconsistencies of the classical theory: the divergent self-energy, as well as the failure of Lorentz-covariance of the energy-momentum when including the contributions of the fields. As a result, in these models the mass of a point particle becomes finitely computable. It is shown how these models are connected to quantum field theory via the path-integral representation of the propagator.

We re-examine the fine tuning problem of the Higgs mass, when an antisymmetric two form Kalb-Ramond (KR) field is present in the bulk of a Randall-Sundrum (RS) braneworld. Taking into account the back-reaction of the KR field, we obtain the exact correction to the RS metric. The modified metric also warps the Higgs mass from Planck scale (in higher dimension) to TeV scale (on the visible brane) for a range of values of $kr$ exceeding the original RS value (where $k=$ Planck mass and $r=$ size of extra dimension). However, it requires an extraordinary suppression of the KR field density, indicating the re-appearence of the fine tuning problem in a different guise. The new spacetime also generates a small negative cosmological constant on the visible brane. These results are particularly relevant for certain string based models, where the KR field is unavoidably present in the bulk. We further show that such a bulk antisymmetric KR field fails to stabilize the braneworld.

We study open strings in the noncritical $c=1$ bosonic string theory compactified on a circle at self-dual radius. These strings live on D-branes that are extended along the Liouville direction ({\it FZZT} branes). We present explicit expressions for the disc two- and three-point functions of boundary operators in this theory, as well as the bulk-boundary two-point function. The expressions obtained are divergent because of resonant behaviour at self-dual radius. However, these can be regularised and renormalized in a precise way to get finite results. The boundary correlators are found to depend only on the differences of boundary cosmological constants, suggesting a fermionic behaviour. We initiate a study of the open-string field theory localised to the physical states, which leads to an interesting matrix model.

We consider a generalization of the leading-order matching of coherent state actions for semiclassical states on the super Yang-Mills and the superstring sides of the AdS/CFT duality to sectors with fermions. In particular, we discuss the $SU(1|1)$ and $SU(2|3)$ sectors containing states with angular momentum $J$ in $S^5$ and spin in $AdS_5$. On the SYM side, we start with the dilatation operator in the $SU(2|3)$ sector having super spin chain Hamiltonian interpretation and derive the corresponding coherent state action which is quartic in fermions. This action has essentially the same ``Landau-Lifshitz'' form as the action in the bosonic SU(3) sector with the target space $CP^2$ replaced by the projective superspace $CP^{2|2}$. We then attempt to relate it to the corresponding truncation of the full $AdS_5 \times S^5$ superstring action written in a light-cone gauge where it has simple quartic fermionic structure. In particular, we find that part of the superstring action describing $SU(1|1)$ sector reduces to an action of a massive two-dimensional relativistic fermion, with the expansion in the effective coupling $\lambda/J^2$ being equivalent to a non-relativistic expansion.

Reviewing the cancellation of local anomalies of M-theory on R^10 x S^1/Z_2 the Yang-Mills coupling constant on the boundaries is rederived. The result is lambda^2 = 2^(1/3) (2 pi) (4 pi kappa^2)^(2/3) corresponding to eta = lambda^6/kappa^4 = 256 pi^5 in the `upstairs' units used by Horava and Witten and differs from their calculation. It is shown that these values are compatible with the standard membrane and fivebrane tensions derived from the M-theory bulk action. In view of these results it is argued that the natural units for M-theory on R^10 x S^1/Z_2 are the `downstairs' units where the brane tensions take their standard form and the Yang-Mills coupling constant is lambda^2 = 4 pi (4 pi kappa^2)^(2/3).

Conformal blocks are a central analytic tool for higher dimensional conformal field theory. We employ Harish-Chandra's radial component map to construct universal Casimir differential equations for spinning conformal blocks in any dimension $d$ of Euclidean space. Furthermore, we also build a set of differential ``shifting'' operators that allow to construct solutions of the Casimir equations from certain seeds. In the context of spinning four-point blocks of bulk conformal field theory, our formulas provide an elegant and far reaching generalisation of existing expressions to arbitrary tensor fields and arbitrary dimension $d$. The power of our new universal approach to spinning blocks is further illustrated through applications to defect conformal field theory. In the case of defects of co-dimension $q=2$ we are able to construct conformal blocks for two-point functions of symmetric traceless bulk tensor fields in both the defect and the bulk channel. This opens an interesting avenue for applications to the defect bootstrap. Finally, we also derive the Casimir equations for bulk-bulk-defect three-point functions in the bulk channel.

We calculate the moduli dependent part of string one-loop threshold corrections to gauge couplings for the heterotic string theory compactified on abelian toroidal orbifolds, allowing for arbitrary discrete Wilson lines. We show that the knowledge of threshold corrections for any such compactification is equivalent to solving a class of integrals. We solve a sub-class of these integrals and show how any model can be mapped onto this class by fractional linear transformations of its fixed plane moduli. Modular symmetries of the final expression are discussed.

We argue that different formulations of hydrodynamics are related to uncertainties in the definitions of local thermodynamic and hydrodynamic variables. We show that this ambiguity can be resolved by viewing different formulations of hydrodynamics as particular "gauge choices" which lead to the same physical behavior of the system. Using the example of bulk viscosity, we show that Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun (BDNK) and Israel-Stewart hydrodynamics are particular "gauge choices" of this type, related by a well-defined transformation of thermodynamic and hydrodynamic variables. We argue that this gauge ambiguity is necessary to ascertain the causality of stochastic hydrodynamic evolution and conjecture that it could explain the applicability of hydrodynamics outside its expected regime of validity since far from equilibrium and close to equilibrium may be related through transformations of this type.

We discuss the equivalence of two dual scalar field theories in 2 dimensions. The models are derived though the elimination of different fields in the same Freedman--Townsend model. It is shown that tree $S$-matrices of these models do not coincide. The 2-loop counterterms are calculated. It turns out that while one of these models is single-charged, the other theory is multi-charged. Thus the dual models considered are non-equivalent on classical and quantum levels. It indicates the possibility of the anomaly leading to non-equivalence of dual models.

It has recently been argued that there may be a nontrivial four-dimensional limit of the higher-dimensional Gauss--Bonnet and Lovelock interactions and that this might provide a loophole allowing for new four-dimensional gravitational theories, possibly without a standard Lagrangian. We investigate this claim by studying tree-level graviton scattering amplitudes, allowing us to draw conclusions independently of the Lagrangian. By taking four-dimensional limits of higher-dimensional scattering amplitudes of the Gauss--Bonnet theory, we find four-dimensional amplitudes that are different from general relativity; however, these amplitudes are not new since they all come from certain scalar-tensor theories. The nontrivial limit that does not lead to infinite strong coupling around flat space leads to $(\partial\phi)^4$ theory. We argue that there cannot be any six-derivative purely gravitational four-point amplitudes in any dimension other than those coming from Lovelock theory by directly constructing the on-shell amplitudes. In particular, there can be no new such amplitudes in four dimensions beyond those of general relativity. We also present some new results on the spin-averaged cross section for graviton-graviton scattering in general relativity and Gauss--Bonnet theory in arbitrary dimensions.

$ \hat {U}(1)$ Kac-Moody gauge fields have the infinite dimensional $ \hat{U}(1)$ Kac-Moody group as their gauge group. The pure gauge sector, unlike the usual $U(1)$ Maxwell lagrangian, is nonlinear and nonlocal; the Euclidean theory is defined on a $d+1$-dimensional manifold $ {\cal{R}}_d \times {\cal{S}}^1 $ and hence is also asymmetric. We quantize this theory using the background field method and examine its renormalizability at one-loop by analyzing all the relevant diagrams. We find that, for a suitable choice of the gauge field propagators, this theory is one-loop renormalizable in $3+1$ dimensions. This pure abelian Kac-Moody gauge theory in $3+1$ dimensions has only one running coupling constant and the theory is asymptotically free. When fermions are added the number of independent couplings increases and a richer structure is obtained. Finally, we note some features of the theory which suggest its possible relevance to the study of anisotropic condensed matter systems, in particular that of high-temperature superconductors.

We show that a variant of the Gross-Neveu Yukawa model with disorder provides a real, nonsupersymmetric generalization of the Sachdev-Ye Kitaev (SYK) model to three dimensions. The model contains $M$ real scalar fields and $N$ Dirac (or Majorana) fermions, interacting via a Yukawa interaction with a local Gaussian random coupling in three dimensions. In the limit where $M$ and $N$ are both large, and the ratio $M/N$ is held fixed, the model defines a line of infrared fixed points parametrized by $M/N$, reducing to the Gross-Neveu vector model when $M/N=0$. When $M/N$ is nonzero, the model is dominated by melonic diagrams and gives rise to SYK-like physics. We compute the spectrum of single-trace operators in the theory, and find that it is real for all values of $M/N$.

We obtain D=6, N=(1,1) de Sitter supergravity from a hyperbolic reduction of the massive type IIA* theory. We construct a smooth cosmological solution in which the co-moving time runs from an infinite past, which is dS_4\times S^2, to an infinite future, which is a dS_6-type spacetime with the boundary R^3\times S^2. This provides an effective four-dimensional cosmological model with two compact extra dimensions forming an S^2. Interestingly enough, although the solution is time-dependent, it arises from a first-order system via a superpotential construction. We lift the solutions back to D=10, and in particular obtain two smooth embeddings of dS_4 in massive type IIA*, with the internal space being either H^4\times S^2 or an H^4 bundle over S^2.

We obtain D=6, N=(1,1) de Sitter supergravity from a hyperbolic reduction of the massive type IIA* theory. We construct a smooth cosmological solution in which the co-moving time runs from an infinite past, which is dS_4\times S^2, to an infinite future, which is a dS_6-type spacetime with the boundary R^3\times S^2. This provides an effective four-dimensional cosmological model with two compact extra dimensions forming an S^2. Interestingly enough, although the solution is time-dependent, it arises from a first-order system via a superpotential construction. We lift the solutions back to D=10, and in particular obtain two smooth embeddings of dS_4 in massive type IIA*, with the internal space being either H^4\times S^2 or an H^4 bundle over S^2. We also obtain the analogous D=5 and D=4 solutions. We show that there exist cosmological solutions that describe an expanding universe with the expansion rate significantly larger in the past than in the future.

We present a novel family of asymptotically Schrodinger hyperscaling violating black holes with a generic dynamical critical exponent and an arbitrary number of spacetime dimensions. This black hole family represents a solution within the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar setup with a self-interaction scalar potential where the Maxwell field is coupled to the scalar field. Through an analysis of the curvature invariants it is observed that this configuration is asymptotically regular for different ranges of the hyperscaling violating exponent. Furthermore, the above mentioned solution constitutes a gravitational candidate for describing field theories with hyperscaling violating Schrodinger symmetry at finite temperature within the framework of the Gravity/Condensed Matter Theory correspondence.

We use local mirror symmetry in type IIA string compactifications on Calabi-Yau n+1 folds $X_{n+1}$ to construct vector bundles on (possibly singular) elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau n-folds Z_n. The interpretation of these data as valid classical solutions of the heterotic string compactified on Z_n proves F-theory/heterotic duality at the classical level. Toric geometry is used to establish a systematic dictionary that assigns to each given toric n+1-fold $X_{n+1}$ a toric n fold Z_n together with a specific family of sheafs on it. This allows for a systematic construction of phenomenologically interesting d=4 N=1 heterotic vacua, e.g. on deformations of the tangent bundle, with grand unified and SU(3)\times SU(2) gauge groups. As another application we find non-perturbative gauge enhancements of the heterotic string on singular Calabi-Yau manifolds and new non-perturbative dualities relating heterotic compactifications on different manifolds.

In the context of D-brane model building, we present a realistic framework for generating fermion masses that are forbidden by global symmetries. We show that the string theoretical Large volume scenario circumvents the standard lore that fermion masses generated by loop effects are too small in generic gravity mediated scenarios. We argue that the fact that in toric singularity models, the up quark masses have always a zero eigenvalue, corresponding to the lightest generation, is due to the presence of approximate global symmetries that we explicitly identify in del Pezzo singularities. These symmetries are broken by global effects and therefore proportional to inverse powers of the volume. We estimate the generic size of radiative corrections to fermion masses in different phenomenological manifestations of the Large volume scenario. Concrete realizations in terms of flavor violating soft-terms are estimated and contrasted with current bounds on flavour changing neutral currents. Contributions from generic extra Higgs-like fields set bounds on their masses close to the GUT scale to produce realistic fermion masses.

We explore the rich phase space of singly spinning (both neutral and charged) black hole solutions in the large $D$ limit. We find several 'bumpy' branches which are connected to multiple (concentric) black rings, and black Saturns. Additionally we obtain stationary solutions without axisymmetry that are only stationary at $D\rightarrow \infty$, but correspond to long lived black hole solutions at finite $D$. These multipolar solutions can appear as intermediate configurations in the decay of ultra-spinning Myers-Perry black holes into stable black holes. Finally we also construct stationary solutions corresponding to the instability of such a multipolar solution.

We argue that some features of the standard model, in particular the fermion assignment and symmetry breaking, can be obtained in matrix model which describes noncommutative gauge theory as well as gravity in an emergent way. The mechanism is based on the presence of some extra (matrix) dimensions. These extra dimensions are different from the usual ones which give to a noncommutative geometry of the Gronewold-Moyal type, and are reminiscent of the Connes-Lott model, although the action is very different.

We use the optical approximation including the first six reflections and compare the results with the predictions of the proximity force approximation and the semi-classical method. We also consider finite size effects by contrasting the infinite with a finite plate. We find sizable and qualitative differences between the new optical method and the more traditional approaches.

We discuss the non-anticommutative (N=1/2) supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model in four dimensions. Firstly we introduce differential operators which implement the non-anticommutative supersymmetry algebra acting on the component fields and action. Then we perform the renormalisation of the model up to two-loop order, including the complete set of terms necessary for renormalisability. We show that (at least up to this order) the results obtained when we eliminate the auxiliary field after renormalisation are equivalent to those obtained when we eliminate the auxiliary fields before quantisation.

We study open spin chains for strings stretched between giant graviton states in the N=4 SYM field theory in the collective coordinate approach. We study the boundary conditions and the effective Hamiltonian of the corresponding spin chain to two loop order. The ground states of the spin chain have energies that match the relativistic dispersion relation characteristic of massive W boson particles on the worldvolume of the giant graviton configurations, up to second order in the limit where the momentum is much larger than the mass. We find evidence for a non-renormalization theorem for the ground state wave function of this spin chain system. We also conjecture a generalization of this result to all loop orders which makes it compatible with a fully relativistic dispersion relation. We show that the conjecture follows if one assumes that the spin chain admits a central charge extension that is sourced by the giant gravitons, generalizing the giant magnon dispersion relation for closed string excitations. This provides evidence for ten dimensional local physics mixing AdS directions and the five-sphere emerging from an N=4 SYM computation in the presence of a non-trivial background (made of D-branes) that break the conformal field theory of the system.

In recent years two intriguing observations have been made for N=4 super Yang-Mills theory and for superstrings on AdS5xS5: In the planar limit the computation of the spectrum is vastly simplified by the apparent integrability of the models. Furthermore, planar scattering amplitudes of the gauge theory display remarkable features which have been attributed to the appearance of a dual superconformal symmetry. Here we review the connection of these two developments from the point of view of the classical symmetry by means of a super-T-self-duality. In particular, we show explicitly how the charges of conformal symmetry and of the integrable structure are related to the dual ones.

We study the quantum degeneracies of BPS black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions that is defined by the exceptional Jordan algebra. We define the quantum degeneracy purely number theoretically as the number of distinct states in the charge space with a given set of invariant labels of the discrete U-duality group. We argue that the quantum degeneracies of spherically symmetric stationary BPS black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions are given by the Fourier coefficients of the modular forms of the exceptional group $E_{7(-25)}$. The charges of the black holes take values in the lattice defined by the exceptional Jordan algebra $J_3^{\mathbb{O}}(\mathcal{R})$ over integral octonions $\mathcal{R}$. The quantum degeneracies of charge states of rank one and rank two BPS black holes (zero area) are given by the Fourier coefficients of singular modular forms $E_4(Z)$ and $E_8(Z)=(E_4(Z))^2$ of $E_{7(-25)}(Z)$. The rank 3 (large) BPS black holes will be studied elsewhere. Following the work of N. Elkies and B. Gross on the embeddings of cubic rings $A$ into the exceptional Jordan algebra and their actions on the 24 dimensional orthogonal quadratic subspace of $J_3^{\mathbb{O}}(\mathcal{R})$, we show that the quantum degeneracies of rank one black holes described by such embeddings are given by the Fourier coefficients of the Hilbert modular forms of $SL(2,A)$. If the discriminant of the cubic ring $A$ is $D=p^2$ with $p$ a prime number then the isotropic lines in the 24 dimensional quadratic space define a pair of Niemeier lattices which can be taken as charge lattices of some BPS black holes. For $p=7$ they are the Leech lattice with no roots and the lattice $A_6^4$ with 168 root vectors. We also review the current status of the searches for the M/superstring theoretic origins of the octonionic magical supergravity.

For vanishing electric field off the critical case $e\Theta B\neq1$, the particles perform the usual cyclotronic motion with modified but equal frequency. The system is symmetric under suitable time-dependent translations which span a (4+2)- parameter centrally extended subgroup of the "exotic" [i.e., two-parameter centrally extended] Newton-Hooke group. In the critical case $B=B_c=(e\Theta)^{-1}$ the system is frozen into a static "crystal" configuration. Adding a constant electric field, all particles perform, collectively, a cyclotronic motion combined with a drift perpendicular to the electric field when $e\Theta B\neq1$. For $B=B_c$ the cyclotronic motion is eliminated and all particles move, collectively, following the Hall law. Our time-dependent symmetries are reduced to the (2+1)-parameter Heisenberg group of centrally-extended translations.

The recently suggested interpretation of the universal hadronic freeze-out temperature T_f ~ 170 Mev - found for all high energy scattering processes that produce hadrons: e+ e-, p p, p anti-p, pi p, etc. and N N' (heavy-ion collisions) - as a Unruh temperature triggers here the search for the gravitational black-hole that in its near-horizon approximation better simulates this hadronic phenomenon. To identify such a black-hole we begin our gravity-gauge theory phenomenologies matching by asking the question: which black-hole behind that Rindler horizon could reproduce the experimental behavior of T_f (\sqrt{s}) in N N', where \sqrt{s} is the collision energy. Provided certain natural assumptions hold, we show that the exact string black-hole turns out to be the best candidate (as it fits the available data on T_f (\sqrt{s})) and that its limiting case, the Witten black-hole, is the unique candidate to explain the constant T_f for all elementary scattering processes at large energy. We also are able to propose an effective description of the screening of the hadronic string tension sigma(mu_b) due to the baryon density effects on T_f.
