We generalize previous results for the superplane Landau model to exhibit an explicit worldline N = 2 supersymmetry for an arbitrary magnetic field on any two-dimensional manifold. Starting from an off-shell N = 2 superfield formalism, we discuss the quantization procedure in the general case characterized by two independent potentials on the manifold and show that the relevant Hamiltonians are factorizable. In the restricted case when both the Gauss curvature and the magnetic field are constant over the manifold and, as a consequence, the underlying potentials are related, the Hamiltonians admit infinite series of factorization chains implying the integrability of the associated systems. We explicitly determine the spectrum and eigenvectors for the particular model with CP^1 as the bosonic manifold.

We study entanglement entropy and the free energy in recently constructed holographic duals for 5d SCFTs in type IIB supergravity. The solutions exhibit mild singularities, which could potentially complicate holographic applications. We use the relation of the entanglement entropy for a spherical entangling surface to the free energy of the field theory on the five sphere as a well-motivated benchmark to assess how problematic the singularities are. The holographic supergravity computations give well-defined results for both quantities and they satisfy the expected relations. This supports the interpretation of the solutions as holographic duals for 5d SCFTs and gives first quantitative indications for the nature of the dual SCFTs.

Classical soft theorems applied to probe scattering processes on AdS$_4$ spacetimes predict the existence of $1/L^2$ corrections to the soft photon and soft graviton factors of asymptotically flat spacetimes. In this paper, we establish that the $1/L^2$ corrected soft photon theorem can be derived from a large $N$ CFT$_3$ Ward identity. We derive a perturbed soft photon mode operator on a flat spacetime patch in global AdS$_4$ in terms of an integrated expression of the boundary CFT current. Using the same in the CFT$_3$ Ward identity, we recover the $1/L^2$ corrected soft photon theorem derived from classical soft theorems.

To serve as a dispersion relation, a cotangent bundle function must satisfy three simple algebraic properties. These conditions are derived from the inescapable physical requirements to have predictive matter field dynamics and an observer-independent notion of positive energy. Possible modifications of the standard relativistic dispersion relation are thereby severely restricted. For instance, the dispersion relations associated with popular deformations of Maxwell theory by Gambini-Pullin or Myers-Pospelov are not admissible.

We compute explicitly the first-order in $\alpha'$ corrections to a family of solutions of the Heterotic Superstring effective action that describes fundamental strings with momentum along themselves, parallel to solitonic 5-branes with Kaluza-Klein monopoles (Gibbons-Hawking metrics) in their transverse space. These solutions correspond to 4-charge extremal black holes in 4 dimensions upon dimensional reduction on $\mathrm{T}^{6}$. We show that some of the $\alpha'$ corrections can be cancelled by introducing solitonic $\mathrm{SU}(2)\times \mathrm{SU}(2)$ Yang-Mills fields, and that this family of $\alpha'$-corrected solutions is invariant under $\alpha'$-corrected T-duality transformations. We study in detail the mechanism that allows us to compute explicitly these $\alpha'$ corrections for the ansatz considered here, based on a generalization of the 't Hooft ansatz to hyperK\"ahler spaces.

In the present paper, dynamics of generalized charged particles are studied in the presence of external electromagnetic interactions. This particular extension of the free relativistic particle model lives in Non-Commutative $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time, compatible with Doubly Special Relativity, that is motivated to describe Quantum Gravity effects. Furthermore we have also considered the electromagnetic field to be dynamical and have derived the modified forms of Lienard-Wiechert like potentials for these extended charged particle models. In all the above cases we exploit the new and extended form of $\kappa$-Minkowski algebra where electromagnetic effects are incorporated in the lowest order, in the Dirac framework of Hamiltonian constraint analysis.

The Polyakov loop variable serves as an order parameter to characterize the confined and deconfined phases of Yang-Mills theory. By integrating out the vector fields in the SU(2) Yang-Mills partition function in one-loop approximation, an effective action is obtained for the Polyakov loop to second order in a derivative expansion. The resulting effective potential for the Polyakov loop is capable of describing a second-order deconfinement transition as a function of temperature.

We show how the superembedding formalism can be applied to construct manifestly kappa-symmetric higher derivative corrections for the D9-brane. We also show that all correction terms appear at even powers of the fundamental length scale $l$. We explicitly construct the first potential correction, which corresponds to the kappa-symmetric version of the $\partial^4 F^4$, which one finds from the four-point amplitude of the open superstring.

We explore various aspects of implementing the full M-theory U-duality group E_{d+1}, and thus Lorentz invariance, in the finite N matrix theory (DLCQ of M-theory) on d-tori: (1) We generalize the analysis of U-duality orbits of BPS states by Elitzur et al. (hep-th/9707217) from E_{d} to E_{d+1}. (2) We identify the new E_{d+1}-symmetries with Nahm-duality-like symmetries (N-duality) exchanging the rank N of the matrix theory gauge group with other quantum numbers. (3) We describe the action of N-duality on BPS bound states, thus making testable predictions for the Lorentz invariance of matrix theory. (4) We discuss the problems that arise in the matrix theory limit for BPS states with no top-dimensional branes, i.e. configurations with N=0. (5) We show that N-duality maps the matrix theory SYM picture to the matrix string picture and argue that, for d even, the latter should be thought of as an M-theory membrane description (which appears to be well defined even for d>5). (6) We find a compact and unified expression for a U-duality invariant of E_{d+1} for all d and show that in d=5,6 it reduces to the black hole entropy cubic E_{6}- and quartic E_{7}-invariants respectively. (7) We describe some of the solitonic states in d=6,7 and give an example (a `rolled-up' Taub-NUT 6-brane) of a configuration exhibiting the unusual 1/g_{s}^{3}-behaviour.

(6) We find a compact and unified expression for a U-duality invariant of E_{d+1} for all d and show that in d=5,6 it reduces to the black hole entropy cubic E_{6}- and quartic E_{7}-invariants respectively. (7) We describe some of the solitonic states in d=6,7 and give an example (a `rolled-up' Taub-NUT 6-brane) of a configuration exhibiting the unusual 1/g_{s}^{3}-behaviour.

Energy correlations characterize the energy flux through detectors at infinity produced in a collision event. Remarkably, in holographic conformal field theories, they probe high-energy gravitational scattering in the dual anti-de Sitter geometry. We use known properties of high-energy gravitational scattering and its unitarization to explore the leading quantum-gravity correction to the energy-energy correlator at strong coupling. We find that it includes a part originating from large impact parameter scattering that is non-analytic in the angle between detectors and is $\log N_c$ enhanced compared to the standard $1/N_c$ perturbative expansion. It is sensitive to the full bulk geometry, including the internal manifold, providing a refined probe of the emergent holographic spacetime. Similarly, scattering at small impact parameters leads to contributions that are further enhanced by extra powers of the 't Hooft coupling assuming it is corrected by stringy effects. We conclude that energy correlations are sensitive to the UV properties of the dual gravitational theory and thus provide a promising target for the conformal bootstrap.

We study how universality classes of O(N)-symmetric models depend continuously on the dimension d and the number of field components N. We observe, from a renormalization group perspective, how the implications of the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg theorem set in as we gradually deform theory space towards d=2. For fractal dimension in the range 2<d<3 we observe, for any N bigger than or equal to 1, a finite family of multi-critical effective potentials of increasing order. Apart for the N=1 case, these disappear in d=2 consistently with the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg theorem. Finally, we study O(N=0)-universality classes and find an infinite family of these in two dimensions.

We solve the Einstein equations in the Randall-Sundrum framework using an isotropic ansatz for the metric and obtain an exact expression to first order in the gravitational coupling. The solution is free from metric singularities away from the source and it satisfies the Israel matching condition on a straight brane. At distances far away from the source and on the physical brane this solution coincides with the 4-D Schwarzschild metric in isotropic coordinates. Furthermore we show that the extension of the standard Schwarzschild horizon in the bulk is tubular for any diagonal form of the metric while there is no restriction for the extension of the Schwarzschild horizon in isotropic coordinates.

For a large class of hierarchies of integrable equations admitting a classical $r-$matrix, we propose a construction for the Virasoro algebra actionon the Lax operators which commutes with the hierarchy flows. The construction relies on the existence of dressing transformations associated to the $r$-matrix and does not involve the notion of a tau function. The dressing-operator form of the Virasoro action gives the corresponding formulation of the Virasoro constraints on hierarchies of the $r-$matrix type. We apply the general construction to several examples which include KP, Toda and generalized KdV hierarchies, the latter both in scalar and the Drinfeld-Sokolov formalisms. We prove the consistency of Virasoro action on the scalar and matrix (Drinfeld-Sokolov) Lax operators, and make an observation on the difference in the form of string equations in the two formalisms.

Renormalization group flows are studied between 5d SCFTs engineered by $(p,q)$ 5-brane webs with large numbers of external 5-branes. A general expression for the free energy on $S^5$ in terms of single-valued trilogarithm functions is derived from their supergravity duals, which are characterized by the 5-brane charges and additional geometric parameters. The additional geometric parameters are fixed by regularity conditions, and we show that the solutions to the regularity conditions extremize a trial free energy. These results are used to survey a large sample of $\mathcal O(10^5)$ renormalization group flows between different 5d SCFTs, including Higgs branch flows and flows that preserve the $SU(2)$ $R$-symmetry. In all cases the free energy changes monotonically towards the infrared, in line with a 5d $F$-theorem.

We show that the geometries are realized as field configurations in the strong coupling region of the gauge theories. On the gravity side, the bubbling geometries can be mapped to electrostatic systems with conducting disks. We derive integral equations which determine the charge densities on the disks. On the gauge theory side, we obtain a matrix integral by applying the localization to a 1/4-BPS sector of the gauge theories. The eigenvalue densities of the matrix integral turn out to satisfy the same integral equations as the charge densities on the gravity side. Thus we find that these two objects are equivalent.

In a toy model of gauge and gravitational interactions in $D \ge 4$ dimensions, endowed with an invariant UV cut-off $\Lambda$, and containing a large number $N$ of non-self-interacting matter species, the physical gauge and gravitational couplings at the cut-off, $\alpha_g \equiv g^2 \Lambda^{D-4}$ and $\alpha_G \equiv G_N \Lambda^{D-2}$, are shown to be bounded by appropriate powers of ${1\over N}$. This implies that the infinite-bare-coupling (so-called compositeness) limit of these theories is smooth, and can even resemble our world. We argue that such a result, when extended to more realistic situations, can help avoid large-N violations of entropy bounds, solve the dilaton stabilization and GUT-scale problems in superstring theory, and provide a new possible candidate for quintessence.

The deconfinement phase transition of SU(2) Yang--Mills theory is investigated in the Hamiltonian approach in Coulomb gauge assuming a quasi-particle picture for the grand canonical gluon ensemble. The thermal equilibrium state is found by minimizing the free energy with respect to the quasi-gluon energy. Above the deconfinement phase transition the ghost form factor remains infrared divergent but its infrared exponent is approximately halved, while the gluon energy, being infrared divergent in the confined phase, becomes infrared finite in the deconfined phase. For the effective gluon mass we find a critical exponent of 0.37. Using the lattice results for the gluon propagator to fix the scale, the deconfinement transition temperature is obtained in the range of 275 to 290 MeV.

We consider one loop quantum corrections to soliton mass for the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric extension of the (1+1)-dimensional scalar field theory with the potential $U(\phi) = \phi^2 \cos^2\left(\ln \phi^2\right)$. First, we compute the one loop quantum soliton mass correction of the bosonic sector. To do that, we regularize implicitly such quantity by subtracting and adding its corresponding tadpole graph contribution, and use the renormalization prescription that the added term vanishes with the corresponding counterterms. As a result we get a finite unambiguous formula for the soliton quantum mass corrections up to one loop order. Afterwards, the computation for the supersymmetric case is extended straightforwardly and we obtain for the one loop quantum correction of the SUSY kink mass the expected value previously derived for the SUSY sine-Gordon and $\phi^4$ models. However, we also have found that for a particular value of the parameters, contrary to what was expected, the introduction of supersymmetry in this model worsens ultraviolet divergences rather than improving them.

We show that the self-dual Yang-Mills equations afford supersymmetrisation to systems of equations invariant under global N-extended super-Poincar\'e transformations for arbitrary values of N, without the limitation (N\le 4) applicable to standard non-self-dual Yang-Mills theories. These systems of equations provide novel classically consistent interactions for vector supermultiplets containing fields of spin up to (N-2)/2. The equations of motion for the component fields of spin greater than 1/2 are interacting variants of the first-order Dirac--Fierz equations for zero rest-mass fields of arbitrary spin. The interactions are governed by conserved currents which are constructed by an iterative procedure. In (arbitrarily extended) chiral superspace, the equations of motion for the (arbitrarily large) self-dual supermultiplet are shown to be completely equivalent to the set of algebraic supercurvature constraints defining the self-dual superconnection.

In this review we discuss some recent developments related to one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes calculated to all orders in epsilon. It is often the case that one-loop gauge theory computations are carried out to order epsilon^0, since higher order in epsilon contributions vanish in the limit as epsilon goes to zero. We will show, however, that the higher order contributions are actually quite useful. In the context of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills, we consider two examples in detail to illustrate our point. First we concentrate on computations with gluonic external states and argue that N = 4 supersymmetry implies a simple relation between all-orders-in-epsilon one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes and the first and second stringy corrections to analogous tree-level superstring amplitudes. For our second example we will derive a new result for the all-orders-in-epsilon one-loop superamplitude for planar six-particle NMHV scattering, an object which allows one to easily obtain six-point NMHV amplitudes with arbitrary external states. We will then discuss the relevance of this computation to the evaluation of the ratio of the planar two-loop six-point NMHV superamplitude to the planar two-loop six-point MHV superamplitude, a quantity which is expected to have remarkable properties and has been the subject of much recent investigation.

In this review we discuss some recent developments related to one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes calculated to all orders in epsilon. It is often the case that one-loop gauge theory computations are carried out to order epsilon^0, since higher order in epsilon contributions vanish in the limit as epsilon goes to zero. We will show, however, that the higher order contributions are actually quite useful. In the context of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills, we consider two examples in detail to illustrate our point. First we concentrate on computations with gluonic external states and argue that N = 4 supersymmetry implies a simple relation between all-orders-in-epsilon one-loop N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes and the first and second stringy corrections to analogous tree-level superstring amplitudes.

These notes are based on work done in collaboration with Frank Ferrari. We show how to determine the spectra of stable BPS states in $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theories that are asymptotically free, i.e. without and with $N_f=1,2,3$ quark hypermultiplets. In all cases: $\bullet$ There is a curve of marginal stability diffeomorphic to a circle and going through all (finite) singular points of moduli space. $\bullet$ The BPS spectra are discontinuous across these curves. $\bullet$ The strong-coupling spectra (inside the curves) contain only those BPS states that can become massless and are responsible for the singularities. Except for $N_f=3$, they form a multiplet (with different masses) of the broken global discrete symmetry. $\bullet$ All other semi-classical BPS states must and do decay consistently when crossing the curves. $\bullet$ The weak-coupling, i.e. semi-classical BPS spectra, contain no magnetic charges larger than one for $N_f=0,1,2$ and no magnetic charges larger than two for $N_f=3$.

A D3-brane probe in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence at finite temperature is considered. The supergravity predictions for the physical effective couplings of the world-volume gauge theory of the probe brane are compared to those calculated in one-loop perturbation theory in the thermal gauge theory. It is argued that when the Higgs expectation value is much larger than the temperature, the supergravity result must agree with perturbative thermal Yang-Mills. This provides a perturbative test of the Maldacena conjecture. Predictions for the running electric and magnetic effective couplings, beyond perturbation theory are also obtained. Phenomenological applications for universe-branes are discussed. In particular mechanisms are suggested for reducing the induced cosmological constant and naturally obtaining a varying speed of light and a consequent inflation on the universe brane.

The Hopf algebra of undecorated rooted trees has tamed the combinatorics of perturbative contributions, to anomalous dimensions in Yukawa theory and scalar $\phi^3$ theory, from all nestings and chainings of a primitive self-energy subdivergence. Here we formulate the nonperturbative problems which these resummations approximate. For Yukawa theory, at spacetime dimension $d=4$, we obtain an integrodifferential Dyson-Schwinger equation and solve it parametrically in terms of the complementary error function. For the scalar theory, at $d=6$, the nonperturbative problem is more severe; we transform it to a nonlinear fourth-order differential equation. After intensive use of symbolic computation we find an algorithm that extends both perturbation series to 500 loops in 7 minutes. Finally, we establish the propagator-coupling duality underlying these achievements making use of the Hopf structure of Feynman diagrams.

In a gauge theory with no Higgs fields the mechanism for confinement is by center vortices, but in theories with adjoint Higgs fields and generic symmetry breaking, such as the Georgi-Glashow model, Polyakov showed that in d=3 confinement arises via a condensate of 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. We study the connection in d=3 between pure-gauge theory and the theory with adjoint Higgs by varying the Higgs VEV v. As one lowers v from the Polyakov semi- classical regime v>>g (g is the gauge coupling) toward zero, where the unbroken theory lies, one encounters effects associated with the unbroken theory at a finite value v\sim g, where dynamical mass generation of a gauge-symmetric gauge- boson mass m\sim g^2 takes place, in addition to the Higgs-generated non-symmetric mass M\sim vg. This dynamical mass generation is forced by the infrared instability (in both 3 and 4 dimensions) of the pure-gauge theory. We construct solitonic configurations of the theory with both m,M non-zero which are generically closed loops consisting of nexuses (a class of soliton recently studied for the pure-gauge theory), each paired with an antinexus, sitting like beads on a string of center vortices with vortex fields always pointing into (out of) a nexus (antinexus); the vortex magnetic fields extend a transverse distance 1/m. An isolated nexus with vortices is continuously deformable from the 't Hooft-Polyakov (m=0) monopole to the pure-gauge nexus-vortex complex (M=0). In the pure-gauge M=0 limit the homotopy $\Pi_2(SU(2)/U(1))=Z_2$ (or its analog for SU(N)) of the 't Hooft monopoles is no longer applicable, and is replaced by the center-vortex homotopy $\Pi_1(SU)N)/Z_N)=Z_N$.

It is noted that the internal space-time symmetries of relativistic particles are dictated by Wigner's little groups. The symmetry of massive particles is like the three-dimensional rotation group, while the symmetry of massless particles is locally isomorphic to the two-dimensional Euclidean group. It is noted also that, while the rotational degree of freedom for a massless particle leads to its helicity, the two translational degrees of freedom correspond to its gauge degrees of freedom. It is shown that the E(2)-like symmetry of of massless particles can be obtained as an infinite-momentum and/or zero-mass limit of the O(3)-like symmetry of massive particles. This mechanism is illustrated in terms of a sphere elongating into a cylinder. In this way, the helicity degree of freedom remains invariant under the Lorentz boost, but the transverse rotational degrees of freedom become contracted into the gauge degree of freedom.

We study decay of unstable D-branes in string theory in the presence of electric field, and show that the classical open string theory results for various properties of the final state agree with the properties of closed string states into which the system is expected to decay. This suggests a duality between tree level open string theory on unstable D-branes and closed strings at high density.

We present a semiclassical derivation of the tree-level and 1-loop dressing phases in the massive sector of string theory on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4 supplemented by R-R and NS-NS 3-form fluxes. In analogy with the AdS_5 x S^5 case, we use the dressing method to obtain scattering solutions for dyonic giant magnons which allows us to determine the semiclassical bound-state S-matrix and its 1-loop correction. We also find that the 1-loop correction to the dyonic giant magnon energy vanishes. Looking at the relation between the bound-state picture and elementary magnons in terms of the fusion procedure we deduce the elementary dressing phases. In both the semiclassical and 1-loop cases we find agreement with recent proposals from finite-gap equations and unitarity cut methods. Further, we find consistency with the finite-gap picture by determining the resolvent for the dyonic giant magnon from the semiclassical bosonic scattering data.

Second, we diagonalize the N-string gluing vertices for the bosonized ghost system. And third, we verify the descent and associativity relations for the combined bosonic matter+ghost gluing vertices. We find that in order for these relations to be true, the vertices must be normalized by the factor Z_N. Here Z_N is the partition function of the bosonic matter+ghost CFT on the gluing surface, which is the unit disc with the Neumann boundary conditions and the midpoint cone like singularity specifying by the angle excess \pi(N-2).

We study the confinement/deconfinement transition in the D0-brane matrix model (often called the BFSS matrix model) and its one-parameter deformation (the BMN matrix model) numerically by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. Our results confirm general expectations from the dual string/M-theory picture for strong coupling. In particular, we observe the confined phase in the BFSS matrix model, which is a nontrivial consequence of the M-theory picture. We suggest that these models provide us with an ideal framework to study the Schwarzschild black hole, M-theory, and furthermore, the parameter region of the phase transition between type IIA superstring theory and M-theory. A detailed study of M-theory via lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the D0-brane matrix model might be doable with much smaller computational resources than previously expected.

We explore the bubble spacetimes which can be obtained from double analytic continuations of static and rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter space. In particular, we find that rotating black holes with elliptic horizon lead to bubble spacetimes only in dimension greater than five. For dimension greater than seven, the topology of the bubble can be non-spherical. However, a bubble spacetime is shown to arise from a rotating de Sitter black hole in four dimensions. In all cases, the evolution of the bubble is of de Sitter type. Double analytic continuations of hyperbolic black holes and branes are also discussed.

The action for the D=10 type II Dirichlet super-p-branes, which has been obtained recently, is reconstructed in a more geometrical form involving Lorentz harmonic variables. This new (Lorentz-harmonic) formulation possesses kappa-symmetry in an irreducible form and is used as a basis for applying a generalized action principle that provides the superfield equations of motion and clarifies the geometrical nature of the kappa-symmetry of these models. The case of a Dirichlet super-3-brane is considered in detail.

We revisit the work by Volkov and Soroka on spontaneously broken local supersymmetry. It is demonstrated for the first time that, for specially chosen parameters of the theory, the Volkov-Soroka action is invariant under two different local supersymmetries. One of them is present for arbitrary values of the parameters and acts on the Goldstino, while the other supersymmetry emerges only in a special case and leaves the Goldstino invariant. The former can be used to gauge away the Goldstino, and then the resulting action coincides with that proposed by Deser and Zumino for consistent supergravity in the first-order formalism. In this sense, pure $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supergravity is a special case of the Volkov-Soroka theory, although it was not discovered by these authors. We also explain how the Volkov-Soroka approach allows one to naturally arrive at the 1.5 formalism. Our analysis provides a nonlinear realisation approach to construct unbroken $\mathcal{N} = 1$ Poincar\'e supergravity.

In arXiv:0803.3295 [hep-th] a holographic black hole solution is discussed which exhibits a superconductor like transition. In the superconducting phase the black holes show infinite DC conductivity. This gives rise to the possibility of deforming the solutions by turning on a time independent current (supercurrent), without any electric field. This type of deformation does not exist for normal (non-superconducting) black holes, due to the no-hair theorems. In this paper we have studied such a supercurrent solution and the associated phase diagram. Interestingly, we have found a "special point" (critical point) in the phase diagram where the second order superconducting phase transition becomes first order. Supercurrent in superconducting materials is a well studied phenomenon in condensed matter systems. We have found some qualitative agreement with known results.

It is shown that Einstein gravity in four dimensions with small cosmological constant and small extra dimensions can be obtained by spontaneous compactification of Lovelock gravity in vacuum. Assuming that the extra dimensions are compact spaces of constant curvature, General Relativity is recovered within certain class of Lovelock theories possessing necessarily cubic or higher order terms in curvature. This bounds the higher dimension to be at least seven. Remarkably, the effective gauge coupling and Newton constant in four dimensions are not proportional to the gravitational constant in higher dimensions, but shifted with respect to their standard values. This effect opens up new scenarios where a maximally symmetric solution in higher dimensions could decay into the compactified spacetime either by tunneling or through a gravitational analogue of ghost condensation. Indeed, this is what occurs requiring both the extra dimensions and the four-dimensional cosmological constant to be small.

In recent years, the study of quantum effects near the event horizon of black hole (BH) has attracted extensive attention. It has become one of the important methods to explore BH quantum properties by using the related properties of the quantum deformed black hole. In this work, we study the effect of quantum deformed black hole on BH shadow in two-dimensional Dilaton gravity. In this model, quantum effects are reflected on the quantum correction parameter m. By calculation, we find that: (1) the shape of the shadow boundary of a rotating black hole is determined by the BH spin $a$, the quantum correction parameter $m$ and the BH type parameter $n$; (2) when the spin $a=0$, the shape of the BH shadow is a perfect circle; when $a\neq 0$, the shape is distorted; if the quantum correction parameter $m=0$, their shapes reduce to the cases of Schwarzschild BH and Kerr BH respectively; (3) the degree of distortion of the BH shadow is different for various quantum correction parameters $m$; with the increase of the values of $m$, the shadow will become more and more obvious; (4) the results of different BH type parameter $n$ differ greatly. Since the value of $m$ in actual physics should be very small, the current observations of EHT cannot distinguish quantum effect from BH shadow, and can only constrain the upper limit of $m$. In future BH shadow measurements, it will be possible to distinguish quantum deformed black holes, which will help to better understand the quantum effects of BHs.

We study the low-energy dynamics in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ exceptional gauge theories with matters in a fundamental representation, especially focusing on confinement phases and on a quantum structure of the Coulomb branch in the moduli space of vacua. We argue that the confinement phases of these exceptional gauge theories have a single Coulomb branch. The 3d s-confinement phases for the exceptional gauge groups are associated with quantum-deformed moduli spaces of the corresponding 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ exceptional gauge theories.

The classification of certain class of static solutions for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in vacuum is presented. The spacelike section of the class of metrics under consideration is a warped product of the real line with a nontrivial base manifold. For arbitrary values of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling, the base manifold must be Einstein with an additional scalar restriction. The geometry of the boundary can be relaxed only when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling is related with the cosmological and Newton constants, so that the theory admits a unique maximally symmetric solution. This additional freedom in the boundary metric allows the existence of three main branches of geometries in the bulk, containing new black holes and wormholes in vacuum.

For commutative Euclidean time, we study the existence of field configurations that {\it a)} are formal power series expansions in $h\theta^{\m\n}$, {\it b)} go to ordinary (anti-)instantons as $h\theta^{\m\n}\to 0$, and {\it c)} render stationary the classical action of Euclidean noncommutative SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. We show that the noncommutative (anti-)self-duality equations have no solutions of this type at any order in $h\theta^{\m\n}$. However, we obtain all the deformations --called first-order-in-$\theta$-deformed instantons-- of the ordinary instanton that, at first order in $h\theta^{\m\n}$, satisfy the equations of motion of Euclidean noncommutative SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. We analyze the quantum effects that these field configurations give rise to in noncommutative SU(3) with one, two and three nearly massless flavours and compute the corresponding 't Hooft vertices, also, at first order in $h\theta^{\m\n}$. Other issues analyzed in this paper are the existence at higher orders in $h\theta^{\m\n}$ of topologically nontrivial solutions of the type mentioned above and the classification of the classical vacua of noncommutative SU(N) Yang-Mills theory that are power series in $h\theta^{\m\n}$.

We consider an N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) \times U(1) gauge theory with N_f=2 massless flavors and a Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) term. In the presence of the FI term, supersymmetry is spontaneously broken at tree level (on the Coulomb branch), leaving a pseudo-flat direction in the classical potential. This vacuum degeneracy is removed once quantum corrections are taken into account. Due to the SU(2) gauge dynamics, the effective potential exhibits a local minimum at the dyon point, where not only supersymmetry but also U(1)_R symmetry is broken, while a supersymmetric vacuum would be realized toward infinity with the runaway behavior of the potential. This local minimum is found to be parametrically long-lived. Interestingly, from a phenomenological point of view, in this meta-stable vacuum the massive hypermultiplets inherent in the theory play the role of the messenger fields in the gauge mediation scenario, when the Standard Model gauge group is embedded into their flavor symmetry.

In this paper, we analyze the relativistic and nonrelativistic energy spectra (fermionic Landau levels) for the noncommutative quantum Hall effect with anomalous magnetic moment in the conical G\"odel-type spacetime in (2+1)-dimensions, where such spacetime is the combination of the flat G\"odel-type spacetime with a cosmic string (conical gravitational topological defect). To analyze these energy spectra, we start from the noncommutative Dirac equation with minimal and nonminimal couplings in polar coordinates. Using the tetrads formalism, we obtain a second-order differential equation. Next, we solve exactly this differential equation, where we obtain a generalized Laguerre equation, and also a quadratic polynomial equation for the total relativistic energy. By solving this polynomial equation, we obtain the relativistic energy spectrum of the fermion and antifermion. Besides, we also analyze the nonrelativistic limit of the system, where we obtain the nonrelativistic energy spectrum. In both cases (relativistic and nonrelativistic), we discuss in detail the characteristics of each spectrum as well as the influence of all parameters and physical quantities in such spectra. Comparing our problem with other works, we verified that our results generalize several particular cases in the literature.

We outline the program to apply modern quantum field theory methods to calculate observables in classical general relativity through a truncation to classical terms of the multi-graviton two-body on-shell scattering amplitudes between massive fields. Since only long-distance interactions corresponding to non-analytic pieces need to be included, unitarity cuts provide substantial simplifications for both post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian expansions. We illustrate this quantum field theoretic approach to classical general relativity by computing the interaction potentials to second order in the post-Newtonian expansion, as well as the scattering functions for two massive objects to second order in the post-Minkowskian expansion. We also derive an all-order exact result for gravitational light-by-light scattering.

In random matrix theory, Marchenko-Pastur law states that random matrices with independent and identically distributed entries have a universal asymptotic eigenvalue distribution under large dimension limit, regardless of the choice of entry distribution. This law provides useful insight for physics research, because the large $N$ limit proved to be a very useful tool in various theoretical models. We present an alternative proof of Marchenko- Pastur law using Feynman diagrams, which is more familiar to the physics community. We also show that our direct diagrammatic approach can readily generalize to six types of restricted random matrices, which are not all covered by the original Marchenko-Pastur law.

D-branes in curved backgrounds can be treated with techniques of boundary conformal field theory. We discuss the influence of scalar condensates on such branes, i.e. perturbations of boundary conditions by marginal boundary operators. A general criterion is presented that guarantees a boundary perturbation to be truly marginal in all orders of perturbation theory. Our results on boundary deformations have several interesting applications which are sketched at the end of this note.

Using wall-crossing formulae and the theory of mock modular forms we derive a holomorphic anomaly equation for the modified elliptic genus of two M5-branes wrapping a rigid divisor inside a Calabi-Yau manifold. The anomaly originates from restoring modularity of an indefinite theta-function capturing the wall-crossing of BPS invariants associated to D4-D2-D0 brane systems. We show the compatibility of this equation with anomaly equations previously observed in the context of N=4 topological Yang-Mills theory on P^2 and E-strings obtained from wrapping M5-branes on a del Pezzo surface. The non-holomorphic part is related to the contribution originating from bound-states of singly wrapped M5-branes on the divisor. We show in examples that the information provided by the anomaly is enough to compute the BPS degeneracies for certain charges. We further speculate on a natural extension of the anomaly to higher D4-brane charge.

Quantum gravitational effects can become important at low energy if the wavefunction of the metric field fails to be peaked around a classical configuration. We try to understand such deviations from classicality within canonical quantum gravity by introducing a "fluid of observers" in the low energy theory and defining a distance operator "at equal time" among them. We find that, even in the presence of relevant fluctuations in the metric field, a locally flat limit is recovered in the neighbourhood of each observer. Deviations from classicality have no particular consequence, locally. However, at larger separations the expectation value of the distance operator behaves differently than a standard Riemannian distance. In particular, it is non-additive and thus cannot be obtained by the integral of a differential line element. This emerging "beyond Riemannian" geometry is a metric space similar to embedded Riemannian manifolds equipped with chord distances that cut through the ambient space. We study deviations from flat space by looking at triangles in the limit where their sizes go to zero. Beyond-Riemannian deviations with respect to flat space are of the same order as standard Riemannian ones, but qualitatively different. Possible connections with holography and with the black hole information paradox are briefly discussed.

In a recent paper, we defined generalized color orderings (GCO) and Feynman diagrams (GFD) to compute color-dressed generalized biadjoint amplitudes. In this work, we study the Cachazo-Early-Guevara-Mizera (CEGM) representation of generalized partial amplitudes and ``decoupling" identities. This representation is a generalization of the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formulation as an integral over the configuration space $X(k,n)$ of $n$ points on $\mathbb{CP}^{k-1}$ in generic position. Unlike the $k=2$ case, Parke-Taylor-like integrands are not enough to compute all partial amplitudes for $k>2$. Here we give a set of constraints that integrands associated with GCOs must satisfy and use them to construct all $(3,n<9)$ integrands, all $(3,9)$ integrands up to four undetermined constants, and $95 \%$ of $(4,8)$ integrands up to 24 undetermined constants. $k=2$ partial amplitudes are known to satisfy identities. Among them, the so-called $U(1)$ decoupling identities are the simplest ones. These are characterized by a label $i$ and a color ordering in $X(2,|[n]\setminus \{i\}|)$. Here we introduce decoupling identities for $k>2$ determined combinatorially using GCOs. Moreover, we identify the natural analog of $U(1)$ identities as those characterized by a pair of labels $i\neq j$, and a pair of GCOs, one in $X(k,|[n]\setminus \{i\}|)$ and the other in $X(k-1,|[n]\setminus \{j\}|)$. We call them {\it double extension} identities. We also provide explicit connections among different ways of representing GCOs, such as configurations of lines, configurations of points, and reorientation classes of uniform oriented matroids (chirotopes).

We study dualities in off-shell 4D N = 2 supersymmetric sigma-models, using the projective superspace approach. These include (i) duality between the real O(2n) and polar multiplets; and (ii) polar-polar duality. We demonstrate that the dual of any superconformal sigma-model is superconformal. Since N = 2 superconformal sigma-models (for which target spaces are hyperkahler cones) formulated in terms of polar multiplets are naturally associated with Kahler cones (which are target spaces for N = 1 superconformal sigma-models), polar-polar duality generates a transformation between different Kahler cones. In the non-superconformal case, we study implications of polar-polar duality for the sigma-model formulation in terms of N = 1 chiral superfields. In particular, we find the relation between the original hyperkahler potential and its dual. As an application of polar-polar duality, we study self-dual models.

In light of recent developments in nearly AdS$_2$ holography, we revisit the semi-classical version of two-dimensional dilaton gravity proposed by Callan, Giddings, Harvey, and Strominger (CGHS) in the early 90's. In distinction to the classical model, the quantum corrected CGHS model has an AdS$_2$ vacuum with a constant dilaton. By turning on a non-normalizable mode of the Liouville field, i.e. the conformal mode of the $2d$ gravity, the explicit breaking of the scale invariance renders the AdS$_2$ vacuum nearly AdS$_2$. As a consequence, there emerges an effective one-dimensional Schwarzian-type theory of pseudo Nambu-Goldstone mode - the boundary graviton - on the boundary of the nearly AdS$_2$ space. We go beyond the linear order perturbation in non-normalizable fluctuations of the Liouville field and work up to the second order. As a main result of our analysis, we clarify the role of the boundary graviton in the holographic framework and show the Virasoro/Schwarzian correspondence, namely that the $2d$ bulk Virasoro constraints are equivalent to the graviton equation of motion of the $1d$ boundary theory, at least, on the $SL(2,R)$ invariant vacuum.

We propose an implicit regularisation scheme. The main advantage is that since no explicit use of a regulator is made, one can in principle avoid undesirable symmetry violations related to its choice. The divergent amplitudes are split into basic divergent integrals which depend only on the loop momenta and finite integrals. The former can be absorbed by a renormalisation procedure whereas the latter can be evaluated without restrictions. We illustrate with the calculation of the $QED$ and $\phi^4_4$-theory $\beta$-function to one and two-loop order, respectively.

We describe three different approaches to the extended (N=2) supersymmetrization of the multicomponent KP hierarchy. In the first one we utilize only superfermions while in the second only superbosons and in the third superbosons as well as superfermions. It is shown that many soliton equations can be embedded in the supersymmetry theory by using the first approach even if we do not change these equations in the bosonic limit of the supersymmetry. In the second or third approach we obtain a generalization of the soliton equations in the bosonic limit which remains in the class of the usual commuting functions. As the byproduct of our analysis we prove that for the first procedure the bosonic part of the one--component supersym\-me\-tric KP hierarchy coincides with the usual classical two--component KP hierarchy.

We use this covariant expression for the Aharonov-Casher phase to investigate the case of a neutral particle with a non-zero magnetic moment moving in the {\it time dependent} electric and magnetic fields of a plane electromagnetic wave background. We focus on the case where the magnetic moment of the particle is oriented so that both the electric and magnetic field lead to non-zero phases, and we look at the interplay between these electric and magnetic phases.

According to AdS/CFT duality semi-classical strings in the Schr\"odinger spacetime is conjectured to be a holographic dual to dipole CFT.

According to AdS/CFT duality semi-classical strings in the Schr\"odinger spacetime is conjectured to be a holographic dual to dipole CFT. In this paper we consider pulsating strings in five-dimensional Schr\"odinger space times five-sphere.

The ratio of central charges in four-dimensional CFTs has been suggested by Hofman and Maldacena to lie within an interval whose boundaries are fixed by the number of supersymmetries. We compute this ratio for a set of interacting N=1 superconformal field theories which arise as RG fixed points of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with adjoint and fundamental matter. We do not find violations of the proposed bounds, which appear to be saturated by free field theories.

Motivated by the various indications that holographic superfluid is BCS like at the standard quantization but BEC like at the alternative quantization, we have implemented the alternative quantization in the dynamical holographic superfluid for the first time. With this accomplishment, we further initiate the detailed investigation of quantum turbulence in finite temperature BEC by a long time stable numerical simulation of bulk dynamics, which includes the two body decay of vortex number caused by vortex pair annihilation, the onset of superfluid turbulence signaled by Kolmogorov scaling law, and a direct energy cascade demonstrated by injecting energy to the turbulent superfluid. All of these results share the same patterns as the holographic superfluid at the standard quantization, thus suggest that these should be universal features for quantum turbulence at temperatures order of the critical temperature.

Starting from a type II superstring model defined on $R^{2,2}\times CY_6$ in a linear graviphoton background, we derive a coordinate dependent $C$-deformed ${\cal N}=1$, $d=2+2$ superspace. The chiral fermionic coordinates $\theta$ satisfy a Clifford algebra, while the other coordinate algebra remains unchanged. We find a linear relation between the graviphoton field strength and the deformation parameter. The null coordinate dependence of the graviphoton background allows to extend the results to all orders in $\alpha'$.

We investigate a class of near-extremal solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory with electric charge and power law scaling, dual to charged IR phases of relativistic field theories at low temperature. These are exact solutions of theories with domain wall vacua; hence, we use nonconformal holography to relate the bulk and boundary theories. We numerically construct a global interpolating solution between the IR charged solutions and the UV domain wall vacua for arbitrary physical choices of Lagrangian parameters. By passing to a conformal frame in which the domain wall metric becomes that of AdS, we uncover a generalized scale invariance of the IR scaling solution, indicating a connection to the physics of Lifshitz fixed points. Finally, guided by effective field theoretic principles and the physics of nonconformal D-branes, we argue for the applicability of domain wall holography even in theories with AdS critical points, namely those theories for which a scalar potential is dominated by a single exponential term over a large range.

This paper is devoted to a systematic discussion of the supersymmetric index Tr (-1)^F for the minimal supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory -- with any simple gauge group G -- primarily in four spacetime dimensions. The index has refinements that probe confinement and oblique confinement and the possible spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and of global symmetries, such as charge conjugation, that are derived from outer automorphisms of the gauge group. Predictions for the index and its refinements are obtained on the basis of standard hypotheses about the infrared behavior of gauge theories. The predictions are confirmed via microscopic calculations which involve a Born-Oppenheimer computation of the spectrum as well as mathematical formulas involving triples of commuting elements of G and the Chern-Simons invariants of flat bundles on the three-torus.

The string theory predictions for the energies of magnon excitations of these strings depends on the radii of the edges of the rings. In this article we construct the operators dual to these closed string excitations and show how to reproduce the string theory predictions for magnon energies by computing one loop anomalous dimensions. These operators are linear combinations of restricted Schur polynomials. The distinction between what is the background and what is the excitation is accomplished in the choice of the subgroup and the representations used to construct the operator.

It is argued that quantum traveling of D-particles presents the ``joining-splitting'' processes of field theory Feynman graphs. The amplitudes in $d$ dimensions can be corresponded with those of a $d+2$ dimensional theory in the Light-Cone frame. It is shown that this Light-Cone formulation enables to study processes with arbitrary longitudinal momentum transfers. It is discussed that a massless sector exists which can be taken as the low energy limit. By taking the constant relative distance in the bound-states we find a spectrum for the intermediatory fields.

We consider the expectation value $\langle \cal W \rangle$ of the circular BPS Wilson loop in ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal $SU(N)$ gauge theory containing a vector multiplet coupled to two hypermultiplets in rank-2 symmetric and antisymmetric representations. This model admits a regular large $N$ expansion, is planar-equivalent to ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory and is expected to be dual to a certain orbifold/orientifold projection of AdS$_5\times S^5$ superstring theory. On the string theory side $\langle\cal W \rangle $ is represented by the path integral expanded near the same AdS$_2$ minimal surface as in the maximally supersymmetric case. Following the string theory argument in arXiv:2007.08512, we suggest that as in the ${\cal N}=4$ SYM case and in the ${\cal N}=2$ $SU(N) \times SU(N)$ superconformal quiver theory discussed in arXiv:2102.07696, the coefficient of the leading non-planar $1/N^2$ correction in $\langle\cal W \rangle $ should have the universal $\lambda^{3/2}$ scaling at large 't Hooft coupling. We confirm this prediction by starting with the localization matrix model representation for $\langle\cal W \rangle $. We complement the analytic derivation of the $\lambda^{3/2}$ scaling by a numerical high-precision resummation and extrapolation of the weak-coupling expansion using conformal mapping improved Pad\'e analysis.

In this note, we explore the possibility that certain high-energy holographic CFT states correspond to black hole microstates with a geometrical behind-the-horizon region, modelled by a portion of a second asymptotic region terminating at an end-of-the-world (ETW) brane. We study the time-dependent physics of this behind-the-horizon region, whose ETW boundary geometry takes the form of a closed FRW spacetime. We show that in many cases, this behind-the-horizon physics can be probed directly by looking at the time dependence of entanglement entropy for sufficiently large spatial CFT subsystems. We study in particular states defined via Euclidean evolution from conformal boundary states and give specific predictions for the behavior of the entanglement entropy in this case. We perform analogous calculations for the SYK model and find qualitative agreement with our expectations. A fascinating possibility is that for certain states, we might have gravity localized to the ETW brane as in the Randall-Sundrum II scenario for cosmology. In this case, the effective description of physics beyond the horizon could be a big bang/big crunch cosmology of the same dimensionality as the CFT. In this case, the d-dimensional CFT describing the black hole microstate would give a precise, microscopic description of the d-dimensional cosmological physics.

In string-inspired effective actions, representing the low-energy bulk dynamics of brane/string theories, the higher-curvature ghost-free Gauss-Bonnet combination is obtained by local field redefinitions which leave the (perturbative) string amplitudes invariant.

We analyse the critical behaviour of anomalous currents in N=1 four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories in the context of electric-magnetic duality. We show that the anomalous dimension of the Konishi superfield is related to the slope of the beta function at the critical point. We construct a duality map for the Konishi current in the minimal SQCD. As a byproduct we compute the slope of the beta function in the strong coupling regime. We note that the OPE of the stress tensor with itself does not close, but mixes with the Konishi operator. As a result in superconformal theories in four dimensions (SCFT$_4$) there are {\sl two} central charges; they allow us to count both the vector multiplet and the matter multiplet effective degrees of freedom. Some applications to N=4 SYM are discussed.

We explore the question of finiteness of the entanglement entropy in gravitational theories whose emergent space is the target space of a holographic dual. In the well studied duality of two-dimensional non-critical string theory and $c=1$ matrix model, this question has been studied earlier using fermionic many-body theory in the space of eigenvalues. The entanglement entropy of a subregion of the eigenvalue space, which is the target space entanglement in the matrix model, is finite, with the scale being provided by the local Fermi momentum. The Fermi momentum is, however, a position-dependent string coupling, as is clear in the collective field theory formulation. This suggests that the finiteness is a non-perturbative effect. We provide evidence for this expectation by an explicit calculation in the collective field theory of matrix quantum mechanics with vanishing potential. The leading term in the cumulant expansion of the entanglement entropy is calculated using exact eigenstates and eigenvalues of the collective Hamiltonian, yielding a finite result, in precise agreement with the fermion answer. Treating the theory perturbatively, we show that each term in the perturbation expansion is UV divergent. However the series can be resummed, yielding the exact finite result. Our results indicate that the finiteness of the entanglement entropy for higher dimensional string theories is non-perturbative as well, with the scale provided by the Newton constant.

We show that the fermionization of the Monster CFT with respect to $\mathbb{Z}_{2A}$ is the tensor product of a free fermion and the Baby Monster CFT. The chiral fermion parity of the free fermion implies that the Monster CFT is self-dual under the $\mathbb{Z}_{2A}$ orbifold, i.e. it enjoys the Kramers-Wannier duality. The Kramers-Wannier duality defect extends the Monster group to a larger category of topological defect lines that contains an Ising subcategory. We introduce the defect McKay-Thompson series defined as the Monster partition function twisted by the duality defect, and find that the coefficients can be decomposed into the dimensions of the (projective) irreducible representations of the Baby Monster group. We further prove that the defect McKay-Thompson series is invariant under the genus-zero congruence subgroup $16D^0$ of $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$.

We study the cosmology of bimetric theory with a composite matter coupling. We find two possible branches of background evolution. We investigate the question of stability of cosmological perturbations. For the tensor and vector perturbations, we derive conditions on the absence of ghost and gradient instabilities. For the scalar modes, we obtain conditions for avoiding ghost degrees. In the first branch, we find that one of the scalar modes becomes a ghost at the late stages of the evolution. Conversely, this problem can be avoided in the second branch. However, we also find that the constraint for the second branch prevents the doubly coupled matter fields from being the standard ingredients of cosmology. We thus conclude that a realistic and stable cosmological model requires additional minimally coupled matter fields.

We consider quantum p-form fields interacting with a background dilaton. We calculate the variation with respect to the dilaton of a difference of the effective actions in the models related by a duality transformation. We show that this variation is defined essentially by the supertrace of the twisted de Rham complex. The supertrace is then evaluated on a manifold of an arbitrary dimension, with or without boundary.

We show that generically the initial singularity is isotropic in spatially homogeneous cosmological models in the brane-world scenario. We then argue that it is plausible that the initial singularity is isotropic in typical brane world cosmological models. Therefore, brane cosmology naturally gives rise to a set of initial data that provide the conditions for inflation to subsequently take place, thereby solving the initial conditions problem and leading to a self--consistent and viable cosmology.

In string theories, interactions are exponentially suppressed for trans-Planckian space-like external momenta. We study a class of quantum field theories that exhibit this feature modeled after Witten's bosonic open string field theory, and discover a Lorentz-invariant UV/IR relation that leads to the spacetime uncertainty principle proposed by Yoneya. Application to a dynamical black hole background suggests that Hawking radiation is turned off around the scrambling time.

In this work we explore the consequences of considering from the very beginning the stationary and axisymmetric properties of the Kerr black hole as one attempts to derive this solution through the Kerr-Schild ansatz. The first consequence is kinematical and is based on a new stationary and axisymmetric version of the Kerr theorem that yields to the precise shear-free and geodesic null congruence of flat spacetime characterizing the Kerr solution. A straightforward advantage of this strategy is that now the parameter $a$ appears naturally as associated to the conserved angular momentum of the geodesics due to axisymmetry. The second consequence is dynamical and takes into account the circularity theorem. In fact, a stationary-axisymmetric Kerr-Schild ansatz is in general incompatible with the circularity property warranted by vacuum Einstein equations unless the remaining angular dependence in the Kerr-Schild profile appears fixed in a precise way. Thanks to these two ingredients, the integration of the Einstein equations reduces to a simple ordinary differential equation on the radial dependence, whose integration constant is precisely the mass $m$. This derivation of the Kerr solution is simple but rigorous, and it may be suitable for any textbook.

One of the paradoxes associated with the theory of the formation and subsequent Hawking evaporation of a black hole is the disappearance of conserved global charges. It has long been known that metric fluctuations at short distances (wormholes) violate global-charge conservation; if global charges are apparently conserved at ordinary energies, it is only because wormhole-induced global-charge-violating terms in the low-energy effective Lagrangian are suppressed by large mass denominators. However, such suppressed interactions can become important at the high energy densities inside a collapsing star. We analyze this effect for a simple model of the black-hole singularity. (Our analysis is totally independent of any detailed theory of wormhole dynamics; in particular it does not depend on the wormhole theory of the vanishing of the cosmological constant.) We find that in general all charge is extinguished before the infalling matter crosses the singularity. No global charge appears in the outgoing Hawking radiation because it has all gone down the wormholes.

It is suggested \cite{CDTT} that current cosmic acceleration arises due to modification of General Relativity by the terms with negative powers of curvature. We show that time-dependent (hyperbolic) compactifications of string/M-theory lead to the effective 4d gravity which naturally contains such terms. The same may be achieved in braneworld by the proper choice of the boundary action. Hence, such a model which seems to eliminate the need for dark energy may have the origin in M-theory.

Light front field theories are known to have the usual infra-red divergences of the equal time theories, as wellas new `spurious' infra-red divergences. The formar kind of IR divergences are usually treated by giving a small mass to the gauge particle. An alternative method to deal with these divergences is to calculate the transition matrix elements in a coherent state basis. In this paper we present, as a model calculation the lowest order correction to the three point vertex in QED using a coherent state basis in the light cone formalism. The relevant transition matrix element is shown to be free of the true IR divergences up to $O(e^2)$.

The behaviour of a relativistic scalar particle subject to a scalar potential under the effects of the violation of the Lorentz symmetry in the cosmic string spacetime is discussed. It is considered two possible scenarios of the Lorentz symmetry breaking in the CPT-even gauge sector of the Standard Model Extension defined by a tensor $\left(K_{F}\right)_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}$. Then, by introducing a scalar potential as a modification of the mass term of the Klein-Gordon equation, it is shown that the Klein-Gordon equation in the cosmic string spacetime is modified by the effects of the Lorentz symmetry violation backgrounds and bound state solution to the Klein-Gordon equation can be obtained.

In this note we have applied directly the Shannon formula for information theory entropy to derive the Black Hole (Bekenstein-Hawking) entropy. Our analysis is semi-classical in nature since we use the (recently proposed [8]) quantum mechanical near horizon mode functions to compute the tunneling probability that goes in to the Shannon formula, following the general idea of [5]. Our framework conforms to the information theoretic origin of Black Hole entropy, as originally proposed by Bekenstein.

We exactly solve Dyson-Schwinger equations for a massless quartic scalar field theory. n-point functions are computed till n=4 and the exact propagator computed from the two-point function. The spectrum is so obtained, being the same of a harmonic oscillator. Callan-Symanzik equation for the two-point function gives the beta function. This gives the result that this theory has only trivial fixed points. In the low-energy limit the coupling goes to zero making the theory trivial and, at high energies, it reaches infinity. No Landau pole appears, rather this should be seen as a precursor, in a weak perturbation expansion, of the coupling reaching the trivial fixed point at infinity. Using a mapping theorem, recently proved, between massless quartic scalar field theory and gauge theories, we derive some properties of the latter.

The theory of eleven dimensional supergravity on R^10 x S^1/Z_2 with super Yang-Mills theory on the boundaries is reconsidered. We analyse the general solution of the modified Bianchi identity for the four-form field strength using the equations of motion for the three-form and find that the four-form field strength has a unique value on the boundaries of R^10 x S^1/Z_2. Considering the local supersymmetry in the "downstairs" approach this leads to a relation between the eleven dimensional supergravity coupling constants in the "upstairs" and "downstairs" approaches. Moreover, it is shown using flux quantization that the brane tensions only have their standard form in the "downstairs" units. We consider the gauge variation of the classical theory and find that it cannot be gauge invariant, contrary to a recent claim. Finally we consider anomaly cancellation in the "downstairs" and "upstairs" approaches and obtain the values of lambda^6/kappa^4 and the two- and five-brane tensions.
