We take the first step in generalizing the so-called "Schubert analysis", originally proposed in twistor space for four-dimensional kinematics, to the study of symbol letters and more detailed information on canonical differential equations for Feynman integral families in general dimensions with general masses. The basic idea is to work in embedding space and compute possible cross-ratios built from (Lorentz products of) maximal cut solutions for all integrals in the family. We demonstrate the power of the method using the most general one-loop integrals, as well as various two-loop planar integral families (such as sunrise, double-triangle and double-box) in general dimensions. Not only can we obtain all symbol letters as cross-ratios from maximal-cut solutions, but we also reproduce entries in the canonical differential equations satisfied by a basis of dlog integrals.

We discuss two measures of entanglement in quantum field theory and their holographic realizations. For field theories admitting a global symmetry, we introduce a global symmetry entanglement entropy, associated with the partitioning of the symmetry group. This quantity is proposed to be related to the generalized holographic entanglement entropy defined via the partitioning of the internal space of the bulk geometry. The second measure of quantum field theory entanglement is the field space entanglement entropy, obtained by integrating out a subset of the quantum fields. We argue that field space entanglement entropy cannot be precisely realised geometrically in a holographic dual. However, for holographic geometries with interior decoupling regions, the differential entropy provides a close analogue to the field space entanglement entropy. We derive generic descriptions of such inner throat regions in terms of gravity coupled to massive scalars and show how the differential entropy in the throat captures features of the field space entanglement entropy.

In many physical problems or applications one has to study functions that are invariant under the action of a symmetry group G and this is best done in the orbit space of G if one knows the equations and inequalities defining the orbit space and its strata. It is reviewed how the P-matrix is defined in terms of an integrity basis and how it can be used to determine the equations and inequalities defining the orbit space and its strata. It is shown that the P-matrix is a useful tool of constructive invariant theory, in fact, when the integrity basis is only partially known, calculating the P-matrix elements, one is able to determine the integrity basis completely.

We study resurgence in the context of the partition function of 2-dimensional $SU(N)$ and $U(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a surface of genus $h$. After discussing the properties of the transseries in the undeformed theory, we add a term to the action to deform the theory. The partition function can still be calculated exactly, and the deformation has the effect of analytically continuing the effective genus parameter in the exact answer to be non-integer. In the deformed theory we find new saddle solutions and study their properties. In this context each saddle contributes an asymptotic series to the transseries which can be analysed using Borel-\`Ecalle resummation. For specific values of the deformation parameter we find Cheshire cat points where the asymptotic series in the transseries truncate to a few terms. We also find new partial differential equations satisfied by the partition function, and a number of applications of these are explained, including low-order/low-order resurgence.

We introduce a new representation of the paths of the Forrester-Baxter RSOS models which represents the states of the irreducible modules of the minimal models M(p',p). This representation is obtained by transforming the RSOS paths, for the cases p> 2p'-2, to new paths for which horizontal edges are allowed at certain heights. These new paths are much simpler in that their weight is nothing but the sum of the position of the peaks. This description paves the way for the interpretation of the RSOS paths in terms of fermi-type charged particles out of which the fermionic characters could be obtained constructively. The derivation of the fermionic character for p'=2 and p=kp'+/- 1 is outlined. Finally, the particles of the RSOS paths are put in relation with the kinks and the breathers of the restricted sine-Gordon model.

We give a detailed study of the critical points of the potentials of the simplest non-trivial N=2 gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories with tensor multiplets. The scalar field target space of these examples is SO(1,1)XSO(2,1)/SO(2). The possible gauge groups are SO(2)XU(1)_R and SO(1,1)XU(1)_R, where U(1)_R is a subgroup of the R-symmetry group SU(2)_R, and SO(2) and SO(1,1) are subgroups of the isometry group of the scalar manifold. The scalar potentials of these theories consist of a contribution from the U(1)_R gauging and a contribution that is due to the presence of the tensor fields. We find that the latter contribution can change the form of the supersymmetric extrema from maxima to saddle points. In addition, it leads to novel critical points not present in the corresponding gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories without the tensor multiplets. For the SO(2)XU(1)_R gauged theory these novel critical points correspond to anti-de Sitter ground states. For the non-compact SO(1,1)XU(1)_R gauging, the novel ground states are de Sitter. The analysis of the critical points of the potential carries over in a straightforward manner to the generic family of N=2 gauged Yang-Mills/Einstein supergravity theories coupled to tensor multiplets whose scalar manifolds are of the form SO(1,1)XSO(n-1,1)/SO(n-1).

We study $dS_4$ vacua within matter-coupled $N=4$ gauged supergravity in the embedding tensor formalism. We derive a set of conditions for the existence of $dS_4$ solutions by using a simple ansatz for solving the extremization and positivity of the scalar potential. We find two classes of gauge groups that lead to $dS_4$ vacua. One of them consists of gauge groups of the form $G_{\textrm{e}}\times G_{\textrm{m}}\times H$ with $H$ being a compact group and $G_{\textrm{e}}\times G_{\textrm{m}}$ a non-compact group with $SO(3)\times SO(3)$ subgroup and dynonically gauged. These gauge groups are the same as those giving rise to maximally supersymmetric $AdS_4$ vacua. The $dS_4$ and $AdS_4$ vacua arise from different coupling ratios between $G_{\textrm{e}}$ and $G_{\textrm{m}}$ factors. Another class of gauge groups is given by $SO(2,1)_{\textrm{e}}\times SO(2,1)_{\textrm{m}}\times G_{\textrm{nc}}\times G'_{\textrm{nc}}\times H$ with $SO(2,1)$, $G_{\textrm{nc}}$ and $G'_{\textrm{nc}}$ dyonically gauged. We explicitly check that all known $dS_4$ vacua in $N=4$ gauged supergravity satisfy the aforementioned conditions, hence the two classes of gauge groups can accommodate all the previous results on $dS_4$ vacua in a simple framework. Accordingly, the results provide a new approach for finding $dS_4$ vacua. In addition, relations between the embedding tensors for gauge groups admitting $dS_4$ and $dS_5$ vacua are studied, and a new gauge group, $SO(2,1)\times SO(4,1)$, with a $dS_4$ vacuum is found by applying these relations to $SO(1,1)\times SO(4,1)$ gauge group in five dimensions.

All the examples are finite dimensional, field theories are not covered, and the notes could be used by students for a preliminary study before the infinite dimensional phase space of field theory is tackled. Holonomic constraints in configuration space are considered first and Dirac brackets introduced for such systems. It is shown that Dirac brackets are a projection of Poisson brackets onto the constrained phase space and the projection operator is constructed explicitly. More general constraints on phase space are then considered and exemplified by a particle in a strong magnetic field. First class constraints on phases are introduced using the example of motion on the complex projective space ${\mathbf{C P}}^{n-1}$. Motion of a relativistic particle in Minkowski space with a reparameterisation invariant world-line is also discussed. These notes are based on a short lecture course given at Bhubaneswar Indian Institute of Technology in November 2021.

We construct new class of regular soliton solutions of the gauged planar Skyrme model on the target space $S^2$ with fractional topological charges in the scalar sector. These field configurations represent Skyrmed vortices, they have finite energy and carry topologically quantized magnetic flux $\Phi=2\pi n$ where $n$ is an integer. Using a special version of the product ansatz as guide, we obtain by numerical relaxation various multimeron solutions and investigate the pattern of interaction between the fractionally charged solitons. We show that, unlike the vortices in the Abelian Higgs model, the gauged merons may combine short range repulsion and long range attraction. Considering the strong gauge coupling limit we demonstrate that the topological quantization of the magnetic flux is determined by the Poincar\'{e} index of the planar components $\phi_\perp = \phi_1+i\phi_2$ of the Skyrme field.

The Cubic CFT can be understood as the O(3) invariant CFT perturbed by a slightly relevant operator. In this paper, we use conformal perturbation theory together with the conformal data of the O(3) vector model to compute the anomalous dimension of scalar bilinear operators of the Cubic CFT. When the $Z_2$ symmetry that flips the signs of $\phi_i$ is gauged, the Cubic model describes a certain phase transition of a quantum dimer model. The scalar bilinear operators are the order parameters of this phase transition. Based on the conformal data of the O(3) CFT, we determine the correction to the critical exponent as $\eta_{*}^{Cubic}-\eta_{*}^{O(3)}\approx -0.0215(49)$. The O(3) data is obtained using the numerical conformal bootstrap method to study all four-point correlators involving the four operators: $v=\phi_i$, $s=\sum_i \phi_i\phi_i$ and the leading scalar operators with O(3) isospin $j=2$ and 4. According to large charge effective theory, the leading operator with charge $Q$ has scaling dimension $\Delta_{Q}=c_{3/2} Q^{3/2}+c_{1/2}Q^{1/2}$. We find a good match with this prediction up to isospin $j=6$ for spin 0 and 2 and measured the coefficients $c_{3/2}$ and $c_{1/2}$.

Using (2+$\epsilon$)-dimensional quantum gravity recently formulated by Kawai, Kitazawa and Ninomiya, we calculate the scaling dimensions of manifestly generally covariant operators in two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to $(p,q)$ minimal conformal matter. Although the spectrum includes all the scaling dimensions of the scaling operators in the matrix model except the boundary operators, there are also many others which do not appear in the matrix model. We argue that the partial agreement of the scaling dimensions should be considered as accidental and that the operators considered give a new series of operators in two-dimensional quantum gravity.

A complete classification of exact solutions of ghost-free, massive bigravity is derived which enables the dynamical decoupling of the background, and the foreground metrics. The general decoupling solution space of the two metrics is constructed. Within this branch of the solution space the foreground metric theory becomes general relativity (GR) with an additional effective cosmological constant, and the background metric dynamics is governed by plain GR.

We study the landscape models of eternal inflation with an arbitrary number of different vacua states, both recyclable and terminal. We calculate the abundances of bubbles following different geodesics. We show that the results obtained from generic time-like geodesics have undesirable dependence on initial conditions. In contrast, the predictions extracted from ``eternal'' geodesics, which never enter terminal vacua, do not suffer from this problem. We derive measure equations for ensembles of geodesics and discuss possible interpretations of initial conditions in eternal inflation.

We propose a novel type of color magnetic condensation originating from magnetic monopoles so that it provides the mass of off-diagonal gluons in the Yang-Mills theory. This dynamical mass generation enables us to explain the infrared Abelian dominance and monopole dominance by way of a non-Abelian Stokes theorem, which supports the dual superconductivity picture of quark confinement. Moreover, we show that the instability of Savvidy vacuum disappears by sufficiently large color magnetic condensation.

We demonstrate that in a certain gauge the Lax matrices of the rational and hyperbolic Ruijsenaars--Schneider models have a quadratic $r$-matrix Poisson bracket which is an exact quadratization of the linear $r$--matrix Poisson bracket of the Calogero--Moser models. This phenomenon is explained by a geometric derivation of Lax equations for arbitrary flows of both hierarchies, which turn out to be governed by the same dynamical $R$--operator.

We discuss the problem of noncommutative SO(N) gauge field theories from the string one-loop point of view. To this end we propose an expression for the string propagator on the boundary of the Moebius strip in the presence of a constant B field. We discuss in detail the problems related to its derivation. Then we use it to compute the one-loop corrections to two-, three- and four-gluon amplitudes in an open string theory with orthogonal Chan-Paton factors. We show that these corrections in the field theory limit in 4D are compatible with the one-loop corrections of a renormalizable noncommutative SO(N) gauge field theory.

We demonstrate that the known expressions for the thermal partition function of large $N$ Chern-Simons matter theories admit a simple Hilbert space interpretation as the partition function of an associated ungauged large $N$ matter theory with one additional condition: the Fock space of this associated theory is projected down to the subspace of its \emph{quantum} singlets i.e.~singlets under the Gauss law for Chern-Simons gauge theory. Via the Chern-Simons / WZW correspondence, the space of quantum singlets are equivalent to the space of WZW conformal blocks. One step in our demonstration involves recasting the Verlinde formula for the dimension of the space of conformal blocks in $SU(N)_k$ and $U(N)_{k,k'}$ WZW theories into a simple and physically transparent form, which we also rederive by evaluating the partition function and superconformal index of pure Chern-Simons theory in the presence of Wilson lines. A particular consequence of the projection of the Fock space of Chern-Simons matter theories to quantum (or WZW) singlets is the `Bosonic Exclusion Principle': the number of bosons occupying any single particle state is bounded above by the Chern-Simons level. The quantum singlet condition (unlike its Yang-Mills Gauss Law counterpart) has a nontrivial impact on thermodynamics even in the infinite volume limit. In this limit the projected Fock space partition function reduces to a product of partition functions, one for each single particle state. These single particle state partition functions are $q$-deformations of their free boson and free fermion counterparts and interpolate between these two special cases. We also propose a formula for the large $N$ partition function that is valid for arbitrary finite volume of the spatial $S^2$ and not only at large volume.

The winding number transition in the Mottola-Wipf model with and without Skyrme term is examined. For the model with Skyrme term the number of discrete modes of the fluctuation operator around sphaleron is shown to be dependent on the value of $\lambda m^2$. Following Gorokhov and Blatter we derive a sufficient condition for the sharp first-order transition, which indicates that first-order transition occurs when $0< \lambda m^2 < 0.0399$ and $2.148 < \lambda m^2$. In the intermediate region of $\lambda m^2$ the winding number transition is conjectured to be smooth second order. For the model without Skyrme term the winding number transition is always first order regardless of the value of parameter.

New AdS/QCD backgrounds have been proposed to describe the spectrum of heavy vector mesons via the implementation of additional energy scales on the bulk geometry of the soft wall model. The extra energy scales are needed to include the decay constants of hadronic states when describing the radial excitations of the heavy meson. Here we analyze one model that introduces an ultraviolet cutoff on Anti de-Sitter space and a model that consider a dilaton profile modified by the addition of an extra term and no cutoff. For each one of these two models we consider the presence of a semi-classical string in the bulk that is dual to a static and infinitely heavy meson. We compute the expected value of the Wilson loop operator using the holographic dictionary and obtain the dual potential for the static $q\bar{q}$ pair. For the model with modified dilaton profile the on-shell string action presents a peculiar ultraviolet divergence, a compatible regularization is discussed and a new subtraction scheme is used. We consider the case of finite temperature and determine how the dissociation temperature of the heavy meson is affected by the additional energy scales.

We study the large N reduced model of D-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with special attention to dynamical aspects related to the eigenvalues of the N by N matrices, which correspond to the space-time coordinates in the IIB matrix model. We first put an upper bound on the extent of space time by perturbative arguments. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation and show that the upper bound is actually saturated. The relation of our result to the SSB of the U(1)^D symmetry in the Eguchi-Kawai model is clarified. We define a quantity which represents the uncertainty of the space-time coordinates and show that it is of the same order as the extent of space time, which means that a classical space-time picture is maximally broken. We develop a 1/D expansion, which enables us to calculate correlation functions of the model analytically. The absence of an SSB of the Lorentz invariance is shown by the Monte Carlo simulation as well as by the 1/D expansion.

We investigate quenches of holographic theories in a confined phase, where the energy injected is insufficient to reach the deconfined phase. In such quenches, thermalization is not associated with gravitational collapse and the formation of a black hole. Nevertheless, we attempt to characterize the late-time state of this scenario. We check a number of notions of thermalization that do not require horizon formation, and find no evidence for thermalization in our chosen parameters and initial states, even in the weakest sense. We find that the post-quench behaviour of both local and nonlocal observables exhibit oscillatory behaviour rather than decaying towards equilibrium. We generally find that the response of the nonlocal observables is smoother than that of the local ones. We discuss mechanisms which generate such smoothing, as well as "beats" which appear in the time-dependence of the nonlocal operators for certain classes of quenches. When tuning the quench parameters such that the smoothing is ineffective, we are able to perform "entanglement spectroscopy", recovering the spectrum of the confined phase of the theory from the time dependence of the entanglement entropy, as well as other nonlocal observables.

Doubled $\alpha'$-geometry is the simplest higher-derivative gravitational theory with exact global duality symmetry. We use the double metric formulation of this theory to compute on-shell three-point functions to all orders in $\alpha'$. A simple pattern emerges when comparing with the analogous bosonic and heterotic three-point functions. As in these theories, the amplitudes factorize. The theory has no Gauss-Bonnet term, but contains a Riemann-cubed interaction to second order in $\alpha'$.

We study quivers in the context of matrix models. We introduce chains of generalized Konishi anomalies to write the quadratic and cubic equations that constrain the resolvents of general affine and non-affine quiver gauge theories, and give a procedure to calculate all higher-order relations. For these theories we also evaluate, as functions of the resolvents, VEV's of chiral operators with two and four bifundamental insertions. As an example of the general procedure we explicitly consider the two simplest quivers A2 and A1(affine), obtaining in the first case a cubic algebraic curve, and for the affine theory the same equation as that of U(N) theories with adjoint matter, successfully reproducing the RG cascade result.

Exploring the characterization of singular black hole spacetimes, we study the relation between energy density, curvature invariants, and geodesic completeness using a quadratic $f(R)$ gravity theory coupled to an anisotropic fluid. Working in a metric-affine approach, our models and solutions represent minimal extensions of General Relativity (GR) in the sense that they rapidly recover the usual Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m solution from near the inner horizon outwards. The anisotropic fluid helps modify only the innermost geometry. Depending on the values and signs of two parameters on the gravitational and matter sectors, a breakdown of the correlations between the finiteness/divergence of the energy density, the behavior of curvature invariants, and the (in)completeness of geodesics is obtained. We find a variety of configurations with and without wormholes, a case with a de Sitter interior, solutions that mimic non-linear models of electrodynamics coupled to GR, and configurations with up to four horizons. Our results raise questions regarding what infinities, if any, a quantum version of these theories should regularize.

In the ordinary quantum Maxwell theory of a free electromagnetic field, formulated on a curved 3-manifold, we observe that magnetic and electric fluxes cannot be simultaneously measured. This uncertainty principle reflects torsion: fluxes modulo torsion can be simultaneously measured. We also develop the Hamilton theory of self-dual fields, noting that they are quantized by Pontrjagin self-dual cohomology theories and that the quantum Hilbert space is Z/2-graded, so typically contains both bosonic and fermionic states. Significantly, these ideas apply to the Ramond-Ramond field in string theory, showing that its K-theory class cannot be measured.

This work consists of two parts. In the first part we construct the complete extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by higher dimensional effective operators and study its phenomenology. These operators encapsulate the effects on LHC physics of possible new degrees of freedom at the multiTeV scale. The effective analysis includes the case where the multiTeV physics is the supersymmetry breaking sector itself. Beyond the new effective couplings, the analysis suggests an interpretation of the 'little hierarchy problem' as an indication of new physics at multiTeV scale. In the second part we explore the power of constrained superfields in extended supersymmetry. It is known that in N = 2 supersymmetry the gauge kinetic function cannot depend on hypermultiplet scalars. However, it is also known that the low energy effective action of a D-brane in an N = 2 supersymmetric bulk includes the DBI action, where the gauge kinetic function does depend on the dilaton. We show how the nonlinearization of the second SUSY (imposed by the presence of the D-brane) opens this possibility, by constructing the global N = 1 linear + 1 nonlinear invariant coupling of a hypermultiplet with a gauge multiplet. The constructed theory enjoys interesting features, including a novel super-Higgs mechanism without gravity.

In this companion to our letter (arXiv:2208.10514), we elaborate the full details of the predicted corrections to the primordial scalar and tensor power spectra that arise from quantum gravity-motivated, natural, covariant ultraviolet cutoffs. We implement these cutoffs by covariantly restricting the fields which are summed over in the path integrals for the primordial correlators, and we discuss in detail the functional analytic techniques necessary for evaluating such path integrals. Our prediction, which is given in terms of measured cosmological parameters and without assuming any particular inflationary potential, is that the corrections take the form of small oscillations which are superimposed on the conventional power spectra. The frequency of these oscillations only depends on the location of the cutoff scale and the first inflationary slow-roll parameter, while the amplitude and phase are also moderately sensitive to how smoothly the cutoff turns on. The specificity of the new predictions offers an opportunity to significantly enhance experimental sensitivity in observations of the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. This may be used to place ever higher bounds on the scale at which quantum gravity effects become important in quantum field theory or may even provide positive evidence for quantum gravity effects.

We study the question of whether the linearization of the Kodama state around classical deSitter spacetime is normalizable in the inner product of the theory of linearized gravitons on deSitter spacetime. We find the answer is no in the Lorentzian theory. However, in the Euclidean theory the corresponding linearized Kodama state is delta-functional normalizable. We discuss whether this result invalidates the conjecture that the full Kodama state is a good physical state for quantum gravity with positive cosmological constant.

I discuss the relation of Hochschild cohomology to the physical states in the closed topological string. This allows a notion of deformation intrinsic to the derived category. I use this to identify deformations of a quiver gauge theory associated to a D-branes at a singularity with generalized deformations of the geometry of the resolution of the singularity. An explicit map is given from noncommutative deformations (ie, B-fields) to terms in the superpotential.

We provide a detailed discussion of the multifield trajectories and inflationary dynamics of the recently proposed model of Chromo-Natural inflation, which allows for slow roll inflation on a steep potential with the aid of classical non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that slow roll inflation can be achieved across a wide range of the parameter space. We demonstrate that Chromo-Natural Inflation includes trajectories that match those found in Gauge-flation and describe how the theories are related.

We study the worldsheet scattering theory of the $\eta$ deformation of the AdS$_\mathsf{5} \times $S$^\mathsf{5}$ superstring corresponding to the purely fermionic Dynkin diagram. This theory is a Weyl-invariant integrable deformation of the AdS$_\mathsf{5} \times $S$^\mathsf{5}$ superstring, with trigonometric quantum-deformed symmetry. We compute the two-body worldsheet S matrix of this string in the light-cone gauge at tree level to quadratic order in fermions. The result factorizes into two elementary blocks, and solves the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We also determine the corresponding exact factorized S matrix, and show that its perturbative expansion matches our tree-level results, once we correctly identify the deformed light-cone symmetry algebra of the string. Finally, we briefly revisit the computation of the corresponding S matrix for the $\eta$ deformation based on the distinguished Dynkin diagram, finding a tree-level S matrix that factorizes and solves the classical Yang-Baxter equation, in contrast to previous results.

The angular ADM reduction of the BTZ spacetime yields a Liouville-type theory. The analysis of the resulting Liouville theory naturally leads to identification of the stretched horizon. The dynamics associated with the stretched horizon has a feature that seems consistent with the unsmooth horizon; the quantum gravity effects are essential for the unsmoothness. We show that the "anomaly" term in the stress-energy tensor is responsible for the Planck scale energy experienced by an infalling observer.

We study the dilaton/axion configuration near D-instantons in type IIB superstring theory. In the field theory limit, the metric near the instantons becomes flat in the string frame as well as in the Einstein frame. In the large N limit, the string coupling constant becomes zero except near the origin. The supersymmetry of this configuration is analyzed. An implication of this result to the IIB Matrix Model is discussed.

We ask the question of classical super (non-)Abelian T-duality for BTZ black hole metric coupling to two fermionic fields. Our approach is based on super Poisson-Lie (PL) T-duality in the presence of spectator fields. In order to study the Abelian T-duality of the metric we dualize over the Abelian Lie supergroups of the types $(1|2)$ and $(2|2)$, in such a way that it is shown that both original and dual backgrounds of the models are conformally invariant up to one-loop order in the presence of field strength. Then, we study the non-Abelian T-duality of the BTZ vacuum metric coupling to two fermionic fields. The dualizing is performed on some non-Abelian Lie supergroups of the type $(2|2)$, in such a way that we are dealing with semi-Abelian superdoubles which are non-isomorphic as Lie superalgebras in each of the models. In the non-Abelian T-duality case, it is interesting to mention that the models can be conformally invariant up to one-loop order in both cases of the absence and presence of field strength. In addition, starting from the decomposition of semi-Abelian Drinfeld superdoubles generated by some of the ${\cal C}^3 \oplus {\cal A}_{1,1}$ Lie superbialgebras we study the super PL T-plurality of the BTZ vacuum metric coupled to two fermionic fields. However, our findings are interesting in themselves, but at a constructive level, can prompt many new insights into supergravity and manifestly have interesting mathematical relationships with double field theory.

The dualizing is performed on some non-Abelian Lie supergroups of the type $(2|2)$, in such a way that we are dealing with semi-Abelian superdoubles which are non-isomorphic as Lie superalgebras in each of the models. In the non-Abelian T-duality case, it is interesting to mention that the models can be conformally invariant up to one-loop order in both cases of the absence and presence of field strength. In addition, starting from the decomposition of semi-Abelian Drinfeld superdoubles generated by some of the ${\cal C}^3 \oplus {\cal A}_{1,1}$ Lie superbialgebras we study the super PL T-plurality of the BTZ vacuum metric coupled to two fermionic fields. However, our findings are interesting in themselves, but at a constructive level, can prompt many new insights into supergravity and manifestly have interesting mathematical relationships with double field theory.

The theory of free relativistic fields is shown to arise in a unified manner from higher-order, configuration-space, irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group. A de Sitter subalgebra, in the massive case, and a Poincar\'e subalgebra, in the massless case, of the enveloping algebra of the Poincar\'e group are the suitable higher-order polarizations. In particular, a simple group-theoretic derivation of the Dirac equation is given.

As been recently pointed out, physically relevant models derived from string theory require the presence of non-vanishing form fluxes besides the usual geometrical constraints. In the case of NS-NS fluxes, the Generalized Complex Geometry encodes these informations in a beautiful geometrical structure. On the other hand, the R-R fluxes call for supergeometry as the underlying mathematical framework. In this context, we analyze the possibility of constructing interesting supermanifolds recasting the geometrical data and RR fluxes. To characterize these supermanifolds we have been guided by the fact topological strings on supermanifolds require the super-Ricci flatness of the target space. This can be achieved by adding to a given bosonic manifold enough anticommuting coordinates and new constraints on the bosonic sub-manifold. We study these constraints at the linear and non-linear level for a pure geometrical setting and in the presence of p-form field strengths. We find that certain spaces admit several super-extensions and we give a parameterization in a simple case of d bosonic coordinates and two fermionic coordinates. In addition, we comment on the role of the RR field in the construction of the super-metric. We give several examples based on supergroup manifolds and coset supermanifolds.

Supersymmetric Minkowski vacua in IIB orientifold compactifications based on orbifolds with background fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials are investigated. Especially, microscopic requirements and difficulties to obtain such vacua are discussed. We show that orbifold models with one and two complex structure moduli and supersymmetric 2-form flux can be successfully stabilized to such vacua. By taking additional gaugino condensation on fixed space-time filling D3-branes into account also models without complex structure can be consistently stabilized to Minkowski vacua.

We study static massless minimally coupled scalar field created by a source in a static D-dimensional spacetime. We demonstrate that the corresponding equation for this field is invariant under a special transformation of the background metric. This transformation consists of the static conformal transformation of the spatial part of the metric accompanied by a properly chosen transformation of the red-shift factor. Both transformations are determined by one function of the spatial coordinates. We show that in a case of higher dimensional spherically symmetric black holes one can find such a bi-conformal transformation that the symmetry of the D-dimensional metric is enhanced after its application. Namely, the metric becomes a direct sum of the metric on a unit sphere and the metric of 2D anti-de Sitter space. The method of the heat kernels is used to find the Green function in this new space, that allows one, after dimensional reduction, to obtain a static Green function in the original space of the static black hole. The general useful representation of static Green functions is obtained in the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini spacetimes of arbitrary dimension. The exact explicit expressions for the static Green functions are obtained in such metrics for D < 6. It is shown that in the four dimensional case the corresponding Green function coincides with the Copson solution.

The necessary bound states of zero branes are proven to exist by a straightforward application of T-duality and heterotic $Spin(32)/Z_2$-Type I duality. We then study directly the zero brane Hamiltonian in Type I' theory. This Hamiltonian includes couplings between the zero branes and background Dirichlet 8 branes localized at the orientifold planes. We identify states, localized at the orientifold planes, with the requisite gauge boson quantum numbers. An interesting feature is that $E_8$ gauge symmetry relates bound states of different numbers of zero branes.

We propose a holographic entanglement negativity conjecture involving the bulk geometry, for mixed states of adjacent intervals in $(1+1)$-dimensional dual conformal field theories through the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence. The holographic entanglement negativity is obtained from a specific algebraic sum of the geodesics anchored on respective intervals on the boundary which reduces to the holographic mutual information between them. Utilizing our conjecture we obtain the entanglement negativity of adjacent intervals in zero and finite temperature ($1+1$)-dimensional holographic conformal field theories dual to the bulk $AdS_3$ vacuum and the Euclidean BTZ black hole respectively. Our holographic conjecture exactly reproduces the conformal field theory results obtained through the replica technique, in the large central charge limit. We briefly elucidate the corresponding issue for the $AdS_{d+1}/CFT_d$ scenario.

Despite these singularities, supersymmetry can be formulated, maintaining its role as a square root of translations in this singular space. The setup is designed for the application in five dimensions related to the Randall-Sundrum (RS) scenario. The space has two domain walls. We discuss the solutions of the theory with fixed scalars and full preserved supersymmetry, in which case one of the branes can be pushed to infinity, and solutions where half of the supersymmetries are preserved.

We discuss two semiclassical string solutions on AdS_5\times S_5. In the first case, we consider a multiwrapped circular string pulsating in the radial direction of AdS_5, but fixed to a point on the S_5. We compute the energy of this motion as a function of a large quantum number $n$. We identify the string level with $mn$, where $m$ is the number of string wrappings. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we argue that the bare dimension of the corresponding gauge invariant operator is $2n$ and that its anomalous dimension scales as \lambda^{1/4}\sqrt{mn}, for large $n$. Next we consider a multiwrapped circular string pulsating about two opposite poles of the $S_5$. We compute the energy of this motion as a function of a large quantum number, $n$ where again the string level is given as $mn$. We find that the dimension of the corresponding operator is 2n(1+f(m^2\lambda/(2n)^2)), where f(x) is computible as a series about x=0 and where it is analytic. We also compare this result to the BMN result for large J operators.

Anisotropic Special Relativity (ASR) is the relativistic theory of nature with a preferred direction in space-time. By relaxing the full-isotropy constraint on space-time to the preference of one direction, we get a perturbative modification of the Minkowski metric as $\mathscr{g}_{\mu\nu}=\eta_{\mu\nu}-b\epsilon_{\mu\nu}$ leading to an extension to the geometrical objects such as line element. The symmetry group of ASR is obtained to have six generators satisfying the full Lorentz group algebra. However, the generators are deformed using the perturbation parameter $b$. So, ASR retains the same representations of Special Relativity (SR) but allows for Lorentz-invariant violation at the same time. A procedure to make an anisotropic quantum field theory is provided wherein the Lorentz-invariant Lagrangians are replaced with their ASR version in which the inner product of any pair of covariant/contravariant indices is mediated by the anisotropic metric $\mathscr{g}_{\mu\nu}$.

We study the radial quantization of the 3d O(N) vector model. We calculate the higher spin charges whose commutation relations give the higher spin algebra.

We study the radial quantization of the 3d O(N) vector model. We calculate the higher spin charges whose commutation relations give the higher spin algebra.

All independent interaction vertices involving massless (Fang--Fronsdal) fermions in three dimensions are classified, completing the classification of interactions of massless fields of any spin. Similarly to the bosonic case, we get no independent vertices at quartic or higher order in the fields involving fields with spin $s\geq 3/2$, and cubic vertices only for spins satisfying triangle inequalities, apart from the cases involving (matter) fields with spin $s\leq 1$. Differently from the bosonic cases, we get only one vertex for each triple of spins with two Majorana fermions and one boson, which is parity even (odd) when the sum of the spins of all fields involved is odd (even). When the two Majorana fermions are identical, their coupling to an odd-spin boson is trivialized. We comment on the non-trivial holographic dictionary relating these vertices to $CFT$ correlators in two dimensions.

We demonstrate that the recent ansatz of arXiv:1009.5553, inspired by the original remark due to R.Dijkgraaf and C.Vafa, reproduces the toric conformal blocks in the same sense that the spherical blocks are given by the integral representation of arXiv:1001.0563 with a peculiar choice of open integration contours for screening insertions. In other words, we provide some evidence that the toric conformal blocks are reproduced by appropriate beta-ensembles not only in the large-N limit, but also at finite N. The check is explicitly performed at the first two levels for the 1-point toric functions. Generalizations to higher genera are briefly discussed.

The five-dimensional space-time, with non-factorizable geometry and fifth dimension y being an orbifold S^1/Z_2, is studied. In such a scenario, originally suggested by Randall and Sundrum, there exist two branes at fixed points of the orbifold, and the four-dimensional metric is multiplied by a warp factor exp[sigma(y)]. In the present paper, the general solution sigma(y) of the Einstein-Hilbert's equations is presented which is symmetric with respect to the interchange of two branes. It obeys the orbifold symmetry y -> - y and explicitly reproduces jumps of its derivative on both branes. This general solution for sigma(y) is determined by the Einstein-Hilbert's equations up to a constant, that results in physically diverse schemes.

The absence, so far, of any graviton signatures at the LHC imposes severe constraints on the Randall-Sundrum scenario. Although a generalization to higher dimensions with nested warpings has been shown to avoid these constraints, apart from incorporating several other phenomenologically interesting features, moduli stabilization in such models has been an open question. We demonstrate here how both the moduli involved can be stabilized, employing slightly different mechanisms for the two branches of the theory. This also offers a dynamical mechanism to generate and stabilize the scale for the Universal Extra Dimensions, another long-standing issue.

We study non-degenerate and degenerate (extremal) Killing horizons of arbitrary geometry and topology within the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton model with a Liouville potential (the EMdL model) in d-dimensional (d>=4) static space-times. Using Israel's description of a static space-time, we construct the EMdL equations and the space-time curvature invariants: the Ricci scalar, the square of the Ricci tensor, and the Kretschmann scalar. Assuming that space-time metric functions and the model fields are real analytic functions in the vicinity of a space-time horizon, we study behavior of the space-time metric and the fields near the horizon and derive relations between the space-time curvature invariants calculated on the horizon and geometric invariants of the horizon surface. The derived relations generalize the similar relations known for horizons of static four and 5-dimensional vacuum and 4-dimensional electrovacuum space-times. Our analysis shows that all the extremal horizon surfaces are Einstein spaces. We present necessary conditions for existence of static extremal horizons within the EMdL model.

We show that the abelian topological mass mechanism in four dimensions, described by the Cremmer-Sherk action, can be obtained from dimensional reduction in five dimensions. Starting from a gauge invariant action in five dimensions, where the dual equivalence between a massless vector field and a massless second-rank antisymmetric field in five dimensions is established, the dimensional reduction is performed keeping only one massive mode. Furthermore, the Kalb-Ramond action and the Stuckelberger formulation for massive spin-1 are recovered.

We show the existence of a global anomaly in the one-loop graphs of N=2 string theory, defined by sewing tree amplitudes, unless spacetime supersymmetry is imposed. The anomaly is responsible for the non-vanishing maximally helicity violating amplitudes. The supersymmetric completion of the N=2 string spectrum is formulated by extending the previous cohomological analysis with an external spin factor; the target space-time spin-statistics of these individual fields in a selfdual background are compatible with previous cohomological analysis as fields of arbitrary spin may be bosonized into one another. We further analyze duality relations between the open and closed string amplitudes and demonstrate this in the supersymmetric extension of the target space-time theory through the insertion of zero-momentum operators.

We propose a manifestly supersymmetric generalization of the solvable $T \overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional field theories. For theories with $(1,1)$ and $(0,1)$ supersymmetry, the deformation is defined by adding a term to the superspace Lagrangian built from a superfield containing the supercurrent. We prove that the energy levels of the resulting deformed theory are determined exactly in terms of those of the undeformed theory. This supersymmetric deformation extends to higher dimensions, where we conjecture that it might provide a higher-dimensional analogue of $T \overline{T}$, producing supersymmetric Dirac or Dirac-Born-Infeld actions in special cases.

A phenomenological analysis of the distribution of Wilson loops in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is presented in which Wilson loop distributions are described as the result of a diffusion process on the group manifold. It is shown that, in the absence of forces, diffusion implies Casimir scaling and, conversely, exact Casimir scaling implies free diffusion. Screening processes occur if diffusion takes place in a potential. The crucial distinction between screening of fundamental and adjoint loops is formulated as a symmetry property related to the center symmetry of the underlying gauge theory. The results are expressed in terms of an effective Wilson loop action and compared with various limits of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory.

We demonstrate that interacting ultraviolet fixed points in four dimensions exist at strong coupling, and away from large-$N$ Veneziano limits. This is established exemplarily for semi-simple supersymmetric gauge theories with chiral matter and superpotential interactions by using the renormalisation group and exact methods from supersymmetry. We determine the entire superconformal window of ultraviolet fixed points as a function of field multiplicities. Results are in accord with the $a$-theorem, bounds on conformal charges, Seiberg duality, and unitary. We also find manifolds of Leigh-Strassler models exhibiting lines of infrared fixed points. At weak coupling, findings are confirmed using perturbation theory up to three loop. Benchmark models with low field multiplicities are provided including examples with Standard~Model-like gauge sectors. Implications for particle physics, model building, and conformal field theory are indicated.

The unitary evaporation of a black hole (BH) in an initially pure state must lead to the eventual purification of the emitted radiation. It follows that the late radiation has to be entangled with the early radiation and, as a consequence, the entanglement among the Hawking pair partners has to decrease continuously from maximal to vanishing during the BH's life span. Starting from the basic premise that both the horizon radius and the center of mass of a finite-mass BH are fluctuating quantum mechanically, we show how this process is realized. First, it is shown that the horizon fluctuations induce a small amount of variance in the total linear momentum of each created pair. This is in contrast to the case of an infinitely massive BH, for which the total momentum of the produced pair vanishes exactly on account of momentum conservation. This variance leads to a random recoil of the BH during each emission and, as a result, the center of mass of the BH undergoes a quantum random walk. Consequently, the uncertainty in its momentum grows as the square root of the number of emissions. We then show that this uncertainty controls the amount of deviation from maximal entanglement of the produced pairs and that this deviation is determined by the ratio of the cumulative number of emitted particles to the initial BH entropy. Thus, the interplay between the horizon and center-of-mass fluctuations provides a mechanism for teleporting entanglement from the pair partners to the BH and the emitted radiation.

We study $\alpha'$-corrections in multiple D7-brane configurations with non-commuting profiles for their transverse position fields. We focus on T-brane systems, crucial in F-theory GUT model building. There $\alpha'$-corrections modify the D-term piece of the BPS equations which, already at leading order, require a non-primitive Abelian worldvolume flux background. We find that $\alpha'$-corrections may either i) leave this flux background invariant, ii) modify the Abelian non-primitive flux profile, or iii) deform it to a non-Abelian profile. The last case typically occurs when primitive fluxes, a necessary ingredient to build 4d chiral models, are added to the system. We illustrate these three cases by solving the $\alpha'$-corrected D-term equations in explicit examples, and describe their appearance in more general T-brane backgrounds. Finally, we discuss implications of our findings for F-theory GUT local models.

In arXiv:0908.2463 we computed the four-loop correction to a function depending on the 't Hooft coupling(s) that appears in the magnon dispersion relation of the spin chains derived from single trace operators in N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theories. In this paper we give detailed descriptions of this calculation and the computation of the four-loop wrapping corrections for a length four operator in the 20 of SU(4), the R-symmetry group for these theories. Here, we give all relevant Feynman diagrams and loop integrals explicitly, and also demonstrate the cancellation of double poles in the logarithm of the renormalization constant.

A non-abelian kink inducing asymptotically the breaking pattern $SU(5)\times Z_2\rightarrow SU(4)\times U(1)/Z_4$ is obtained. We consider a fourth order Higgs potential in a $1+1$ theory where the scalar field is in the adjoint representation of $SU(5)$. The perturbative stability of the kink is also evaluated. A Schr\"odinger-like equation for the excitations along each $SU(5)$ generator is determined, and in none of the cases negative eigenvalues compromising the stability of solution are found. In particular, several bounded scalar states are found, being one of them the translational zero mode of the flat space $SU(5)\times Z_2$ kink.

We consider correlators of N=4 super Yang Mills of the form A ~ < O_1 O_2 O*_1 O*_2 >, where the operators O_1 and O_2 are scalar primaries. In particular, we analyze this correlator in the planar limit and in a Lorentzian regime corresponding to high energy interactions in AdS. The planar amplitude is dominated by a Regge pole whose nature varies as a function of the 't Hooft coupling g^2. At large g, the pole corresponds to graviton exchange in AdS, whereas at weak g, the pole is that of the hard perturbative BFKL pomeron. We concentrate on the weak coupling regime and analyze pomeron exchange directly in position space. The analysis relies heavily on the conformal symmetry of the transverse space E^2 and of its holographic dual hyperbolic space H_3, describing with an unified language, both the weak and strong 't Hooft coupling regimes. In particular, the form of the impact factors is highly constrained in position space by conformal invariance. Finally, the analysis suggests a possible AdS eikonal resummation of multi-pomeron exchanges implementing AdS unitarity, which differs from the usual 4-dimensional eikonal exponentiation. Relations to violations of 4-dimensional unitarity at high energy and to the onset of nonlinear effects and gluon saturation become immediate questions for future research.

We study a five dimensional SU(3) nonsupersymmetric gauge theory compactified on $M^4\times S^1/Z_2$ and discuss the gauge hierarchy in the scenario of the gauge-Higgs unification. Making use of calculability of the Higgs potential and a curious feature that coefficients in the potential are given by discrete values, we find two models, in which the large gauge hierarchy is realized, that is, the weak scale is naturally obtained from an unique large scale such as a grand unified theory scale or the Planck scale. The size of the Higgs mass is also discussed in each model. One of the models we find realizes both large gauge hierarchy and consistent Higgs mass, and shows that the Higgs mass becomes heavier as the compactified scale becomes smaller.

We study the absorption of a class of fields in the geometry produced by extremal three-branes. We consider fields that do not mix with the ten-dimensional graviton. For these fields we solve the wave equations and find the absorption probabilities for all partial waves at leading order in the energy. We note that in some of these cases one needs an `intermediate' region which interpolates between flat Minkowski space at infinity and the AdS geometry near the branes.

We argue in a model-independent way that the Hilbert space of quantum gravity is locally finite-dimensional. In other words, the density operator describing the state corresponding to a small region of space, when such a notion makes sense, is defined on a finite-dimensional factor of a larger Hilbert space. Because quantum gravity potentially describes superpo- sitions of different geometries, it is crucial that we associate Hilbert-space factors with spatial regions only on individual decohered branches of the universal wave function. We discuss some implications of this claim, including the fact that quantum field theory cannot be a fundamental description of Nature.

We study the SYK model in the large $N$ limit beyond the replica-diagonal approximation. First we show that there are exact replica-nondiagonal solutions of the saddle point equations for $q=2$ for any finite replica number $M$. In the interacting $q=4$ case we are able to construct the numerical solutions, which are in one-to-one correspondence to the analytic solutions of the quadratic model. These solutions are singular in the $M \to 0$ limit in both quadratic and quartic interaction cases. The calculations of the on-shell action at finite integer $M$ show that the nondiagonal replica-symmetric saddles are subleading in both quadratic and quartic cases. We also study replica-nondiagonal solutions of the SYK in the strong coupling limit. For arbitrary $q$ we show that besides the usual solutions of the replica-diagonal saddle point equations in the conformal limit, there are also replica-nondiagonal solutions for any value of $M$ (including zero). The specific configurations that we study, have factorized time and replica dependencies. The corresponding saddle point equations are separable at strong coupling, and can be solved using the Parisi ansatz from spin glass theory. We construct the solutions which correspond to the replica-symmetric case and to one-step replica symmetry breaking. We compute the regularized free energy on these solutions in the limit of zero replicas. It is observed that there are nondiagonal solutions with the regularized free energy lower than that of the standard diagonal conformal solution.

In string theory the closed-string massless NS-NS sector forms a multiplet of $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ symmetry. This suggests a specific modification to General Relativity in which the entire NS-NS sector is promoted to stringy graviton fields. Imposing off-shell $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ symmetry fixes the correct couplings to other matter fields and the Einstein field equations are enriched to comprise $D^{2}+1$ components, dubbed recently as the Einstein Double Field Equations. Here we explore the cosmological implications of this framework. We derive the most general homogeneous and isotropic ansatzes for both stringy graviton fields and the $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-covariant energy-momentum tensor. Crucially, the former admits space-filling magnetic $H$-flux. Substituting them into the Einstein Double Field Equations, we obtain the $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ completion of the Friedmann equations along with a generalized continuity equation. We discuss how solutions in this framework may be characterized by two equation-of-state parameters, $w$ and $\lambda$, where the latter characterizes the relative intensities of scalar and tensor forces. When $\lambda+3w=1$, the dilaton remains constant throughout the cosmological evolution, and one recovers the standard Friedmann equations for generic matter content (i.e. for any $w$). We further point out that, in contrast to General Relativity, neither an $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-symmetric cosmological constant nor a scalar field with positive energy density gives rise to a de Sitter solution.

We show that the sub-leading soft term in single-gluon emission of quark-gluon amplitudes in QCD is controlled by differential operators, whose universal form can be derived from both on-shell recursion relation and gauge invariance, as it was shown to hold for graviton- and gluon-scattering.

We study flop-transitions for M-theory on Calabi-Yau three-folds and their applications to cosmology in the context of the effective five-dimensional supergravity theory. In particular, the additional hypermultiplet which becomes massless at the transition is included in the effective action. We find the potential for this hypermultiplet which includes quadratic and quartic terms as well as additional dependence on the Kahler moduli. By constructing explicit cosmological solutions, it is demonstrated that a flop-transition can indeed by achieved dynamically, as long as the hypermultiplet is set to zero. Once excitations of the hypermultiplet are taken into account we find that the transition is generically not completed but the system is stabilised close to the transition region. Regions of moduli space close to flop-transitions can, therefore, be viewed as preferred by the cosmological evolution.

We find the three-dimensional gravity dual of a process in which two clouds of (1+1)-dimensional conformal matter moving in opposite directions collide. This gives the most general conformally invariant holographic flow in the 1+1 dimensional boundary theory in terms of two arbitrary functions. With a suitable choice of the arbitrary functions the process can be interpreted as an opaque collision of two extended systems with central, fragmentation and interaction regions. Comparison with classical gluon field calculations relates the size of the system with the saturation scale.

We put forward novel extensions of Starobinsky inflation, involving a class of 'geometric' higher-curvature corrections that yield second-order Friedmann-Lema\^itre equations and second-order-in-time linearized equations around cosmological backgrounds. We determine the range of models within this class that admit an extended phase of slow roll inflation as an attractor. By embedding these theories in anti-de Sitter space, we derive holographic 'unitarity' bounds on the two dominant higher-order curvature corrections. Finally we compute the leading corrections to the spectral properties of scalar and tensor primordial perturbations, including the modified consistency relation $r=-8n_{T}$. Remarkably, the range of models singled out by holography nearly coincides with the current observational bounds on the scalar spectral tilt. Our results indicate that future observations have the potential to discriminate between different higher-curvature corrections considered here.

We study kink-antikink scattering in the sine-Gordon model in the presence of interactions with an additional scalar field, $\psi$, that is in its quantum vacuum. In contrast to the classical scattering, now there is quantum radiation of $\psi$ quanta and the kink-antikink may form bound states that resemble breathers of the sine-Gordon model. We quantify the rate of radiation and map the parameters for which bound states are formed. Even these bound states radiate and decay, and eventually there is a transition into long-lived oscillons.

We consider the N=2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action and compute one-loop divergences quantizing the theory in N=1 superspace. We find that in the presence of non constant curvature the theory is not renormalizable. The structure of the $(\alpha')^4$ counterterm, proportional to derivatives of the curvature, is consistent with effective action calculations from superstring theory.

Secondly, this model is generalized to a web of dualities connecting topological string theory and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories to a configuration of D-branes that intersect over a Riemann surface. This description yields a new perspective on topological string theory in terms of a KP integrable system based on a quantum curve.

We present a pseudoclassical mechanics model which exhibits gauge symmetry and time-reparametrization invariance. As such, first- and second-class constraints restrict the phase space, and the Hamiltonian weakly vanishes. We show that the Dirac conjecture does not hold -- the secondary first-class constraint is not a symmetry generator -- and only the gauge fixing condition associated with the primary first-class constraint is needed to remove the gauge ambiguities. The gauge fixed theory is equivalent to the Fermi harmonic oscillator extended by a boundary term. We quantize in the deformation quantization and in the Schrodinger representation approaches and observe that the boundary term prepares the system in the state of positive energy.

The perturbative prepotential and the K\"ahler metric of the vector multiplets of the N=2 effective low-energy heterotic strings is calculated directly in N=1 six-dimensional toroidal compactifications of the heterotic string vacua. This method provides the solution for the one loop correction to the N=2 vector multiplet prepotential for compactifications of the heterotic string for any rank three and four models, as well for compactifications on $K_3 \times T^2$. In addition, we complete previous calculations, derived from string amplitudes, by deriving the differential equation for the third derivative of the prepotential with respect of the usual complex structure U moduli of the $T^2$ torus. Moreover, we calculate the one loop prepotential, using its modular properties, for N=2 compactifications of the heterotic string exhibiting modular groups similar with those appearing in N=2 sectors of N=1 orbifolds based on non-decomposable torus lattices and on N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills.

We study the convergence of the hydrodynamic series in the gravity dual of Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five dimensions with negative cosmological constant via holography. By imposing boost invariance symmetry, we find a solution to the Gauss-Bonnet equation of motion in inverse powers of the proper time, from which we can extract high order corrections to Bjorken flow for different values of the Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\lambda_{GB}$. As in all other known examples the gradient expansion is, at most, an asymptotic series which can be understood through applying the techniques of Borel-Pad\'e summation. As expected from the behaviour of the quasi-normal modes in the theory, we observe that the singularities in the Borel plane of this series show qualitative features that interpolate between the infinitely strong coupling limit of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang Mills theory and the expectation from kinetic theory. We further perform the Borel resummation to constrain the behaviour of hydrodynamic attractors beyond leading order in the hydrodynamic expansion. We find that for all values of $\lambda_{GB}$ considered, the convergence of different initial conditions to the resummation and its hydrodynamization occur at large and comparable values of the pressure anisotropy.

From these results the equilibrium partition function at first order in the derivative expansion is explicitly obtained by integration. The form of the computed partition function is consistent with general arguments based on Kaluza-Klein and gauge invariance.

We consider integrable superstring theory on AdS_3 x S^3 x M^4 where M^4=T^4 or M^4=S^3 x S^1 with generic ratio of the radii of the two 3-spheres. We compute the one-loop energy of a short folded string spinning in AdS_3 and rotating in S^3. The computation is performed by world-sheet small spin perturbation theory as well as by quantizing the classical algebraic curve characterizing the finite-gap equations. The two methods give equal results up to regularization contributions that are under control. One important byproduct of the calculation is the part of the energy which is due to the dressing phase in the Bethe Ansatz. Remarkably, this contribution E_1^{dressing} turns out to be independent on the radii ratio. In the M^4=T^4 limit, we discuss how E_1^{dressing} relates to a recent proposal for the dressing phase tested in the su(2) sector. We point out some difficulties suggesting that quantization of the AdS_3 classical finite-gap equations could be subtler than the easier AdS_5 x S^5 case.

We derive the most general flux-induced superpotential for N=1 M-theory compactifications on seven-dimensional manifolds with SU(3) structure. Imposing the appropriate boundary conditions, this result applies for heterotic M-theory. It is crucial for the latter to consider SU(3) and not G_2 group structure on the seven-dimensional internal space. For a particular background that differs from CY(3) x S^1/Z_2 only by warp factors, we investigate the flux-generated scalar potential as a function of the orbifold length. We find a positive cosmological constant minimum, however at an undesirably large value of this length. Hence the flux superpotential alone is not enough to stabilize the orbifold length at a de Sitter vacuum. But it does modify substantially the interplay between the previously studied non-perturbative effects, possibly reducing the significance of open membrane instantons while underlining the importance of gaugino condensation.

The fermionic fields of one generation of the Standard Model, including the Lorentz spinor degrees of freedom, can be identified with components of a single real 64-dimensional semi-spinor representation S of the group Spin(11,3). We describe an octonionic model for Spin(11,3) in which the semi-spinor representation gets identified with S=OxO', where O,O' are the usual and split octonions respectively. It is then well-known that choosing a unit imaginary octonion u in Im(O) equips O with a complex structure J. Similarly, choosing a unit imaginary split octonion u' in Im(O') equips O' with a complex structure J', except that there are now two inequivalent complex structures, one parametrised by a choice of a timelike and the other of a spacelike unit u'. In either case, the identification S=OxO' implies that there are two natural commuting complex structures J, J' on S. Our main new observation is that the subgroup of Spin(11,3) that commutes with both J, J' on S is the direct product Spin(6) x Spin(4) x Spin(1,3) of the Pati-Salam and Lorentz groups, when u' is chosen to be timelike. The splitting of S into eigenspaces of J corresponds to splitting into particles and anti-particles. The splitting of S into eigenspaces of J' corresponds to splitting of Lorentz Dirac spinors into two different chiralities. We also study the simplest possible symmetry breaking scenario with the "Higgs" field taking values in the representation that corresponds to 3-forms in R^{11,3}. We show that this Higgs can be designed to transform as the bi-doublet of the left/right symmetric extension of the SM, and thus breaks Spin(11,3) down to the product of the SM, Lorentz and U(1)_{B-L} groups, with the last one remaining unbroken. This 3-form Higgs field also produces the Dirac mass terms for all the particles.

Recent work has shown that non-local modifications of gravity involving terms such as $m^2R\Box^{-2}R$ (and no cosmological constant) provide a phenomenologically viable alternative to $\Lambda$CDM. We first discuss the possibility that such non-local terms emerge in the far infrared from the running of a coupling constant associated to the $R^2$ term in higher-derivative gravity, which, depending on the UV completion of the theory, can be asymptotically free in the ultraviolet and strongly coupled in the infrared. In this scenario the mass scale $m$ of the non-local model emerges from dimensional transmutation, similarly to $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ for strong interactions, leading to a technically natural value and to a novel understanding of the scale associated to dark energy. Motivated by these findings, we then explore the possibility of generating strong infrared effects in Einstein gravity, with no $R^2$ terms, as a consequence of the higher-derivative term generated by the conformal anomaly.

Recent work has shown that non-local modifications of gravity involving terms such as $m^2R\Box^{-2}R$ (and no cosmological constant) provide a phenomenologically viable alternative to $\Lambda$CDM. We first discuss the possibility that such non-local terms emerge in the far infrared from the running of a coupling constant associated to the $R^2$ term in higher-derivative gravity, which, depending on the UV completion of the theory, can be asymptotically free in the ultraviolet and strongly coupled in the infrared. In this scenario the mass scale $m$ of the non-local model emerges from dimensional transmutation, similarly to $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ for strong interactions, leading to a technically natural value and to a novel understanding of the scale associated to dark energy. Motivated by these findings, we then explore the possibility of generating strong infrared effects in Einstein gravity, with no $R^2$ terms, as a consequence of the higher-derivative term generated by the conformal anomaly.

I review recent work toward constructing, via five-dimensional holographic duals, four-dimensional theories in which spin-2 states (gravitons) are emergent. The basic idea is to extend to gravity model-building the applications of holographic duality to phenomenology construction.
