The method of differential regularization is applied to calculate explicitly the one-loop effective potential of a bosonized Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model consisting of scalar and pseudoscalar fields. The regularization scheme independent relation for the $\sigma$ mass sum rule is obtained. This method can be readily applied to extended NJL models with gauge fields.

In these notes we review the S-matrix theory in (1+1)-dimensional integrable models, focusing mainly on the relativistic case. Once the main definitions and physical properties are introduced, we discuss the factorization of scattering processes due to integrability. We then focus on the analytic properties of the two-particle scattering amplitude and illustrate the derivation of the S-matrices for all the possible bound states using the so-called bootstrap principle. General algebraic structures underlying the S-matrix theory and its relation with the form factors axioms are briefly mentioned. Finally, we discuss the S-matrices of sine-Gordon and SU(2), SU(3) chiral Gross-Neveu models. This is part of a collection of lecture notes for the Young Researchers Integrability School, organized by the GATIS network at Durham University on 6-10 July 2015.

We study the generation and evolution of gravitational waves (tensor perturbations) in the context of Randall-Sundrum braneworld cosmology. We assume that the initial and final stages of the background cosmological model are given by de Sitter and Minkowski phases, respectively, and they are connected smoothly by a radiation-dominated phase. This setup allows us to discuss the quantum-mechanical generation of the perturbations and to see the final amplitude of the well-defined zero mode. Using the Wronskian formulation, we numerically compute the power spectrum of gravitational waves, and find that the effect of initial vacuum fluctuations in the Kaluza-Klein modes is subdominant, contributing not more than 10% of the total power spectrum. Thus it is confirmed that the damping due to the Kaluza-Klein mode generation and the enhancement due to the modification of the background Friedmann equation are the two dominant effects, but they cancel each other, leading to the same spectral tilt as the standard four-dimensional result. Kaluza-Klein gravitons that escape from the brane contribute to the energy density of the dark radiation at late times. We show that a tiny amount of the dark radiation is generated due to this process.

We study the stretched membrane of a black hole as consisting of a perfect fluid. We find that the pressure of this fluid is negative and the specific heat is negative too. A surprising result is that if we are to assume the fluid be composed of some quanta, then the dispersion relation of the fundamental quantum is $E=m^2/k$, with $m$ at the scale of the Planck mass. There are two possible interpretation of this dispersion relation, one is the noncommutative spacetime on the stretched membrane, another is that the fundamental quantum is microscopic black holes.

The Sen formulation for chiral $(2p)$-form in $4p+2$ dimensions describes a system with two separate sectors, one is physical while the other is unphysical. Each contains a chiral form and a metric. In this paper, we focus on the cases where the self-duality condition for the unphysical sector is linear while for the physical sector can be nonlinear. We show that in order for the decoupling to be realised at the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian levels, the action should take a certain form. The decoupling at the Hamiltonian level follows the idea in the literature. Then by an appropriate field redefinition of the corresponding first-order Lagrangian, the separation at the Lagrangian level follows. We derive the diffeomorphism of the theory in the case where the chiral form in the physical sector is nonlinear and couple to external $(2p+1)$-form field. Explicit forms of Sen theories are also discussed. The Lagrangian for the quadratic theory is separated into two Henneaux-Teitelboim Lagrangians. We also discuss the method of generating explicit nonlinear theories with $p=1$ is discussed. Finally, we also show that the M5-brane action in the Sen formulation is separated into a Henneaux-Teitleboim action in unphysical sector and a gauge-fixed PST in physical sector.

A set of different conformal solutions corresponding to a constant flux of squared vorticity is considered. Requiring constant fluxes of all inviscid vorticity invariants (higher powers of the vorticity), we come to the conclusion that the general turbulence spectrum should be given by Kraichnan's expression $E(k)\propto k\sp{-3}$. This spectrum, in particular, can be obtained as a limit of some subsequences of the conformal solutions.

We use the BRST formalism to classify the gauge orbits of type II string theory's Ramond-Ramond (RR) field strengths under large RR gauge transformations of the RR gauge potentials. We find that this construction is identical to the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence construction of twisted K-theory, where the Atiyah-Hirzebruch differentials are the BRST operators. The actions of the large gauge transformations on the field strengths that lie in an integral lattice of de Rham cohomology are found using supergravity, while the action on Z_2 torsion classes is found using the Freed-Witten anomaly. We speculate that an S-duality covariant classification may be obtained by including NSNS gauge transformations and using the BV formalism. An example of a Z_3 torsion generalization of the Freed-Witten anomaly is provided.

We study in a systematic way a generic nonderivative (massive) deformation of general relativity using the Hamiltonian formalism. The number of propagating degrees of freedom is analyzed in a nonperturbative and background independent way. We show that the condition of having only five propagating degrees of freedom can be cast in a set of differential equations for the deforming potential. Though the conditions are rather restrictive, many solutions can be found.

The lambda deformation of the pure spinor formalism of the superstring in the $AdS_{5}\times S^{5}$ background is introduced. It is shown that the deformation preserves the integrability as well as the one-loop conformal invariance of its parent theory. It is also shown that the effective action takes the standard form of the Berkovits-Howe action functional, allowing to calculate the deformed background supergeometry in a straightforward way. The background fields coincide with those of the lambda model of the Green-Schwarz formalism, hence satisfying the same set of supergravity equations of motion.

In this paper we construct a CHY representation for all tree-level primitive QCD amplitudes. The quarks may be massless or massive. We define a generalised cyclic factor $\hat{C}(w,z)$ and a generalised permutation invariant function $\hat{E}(z,p,\varepsilon)$. The amplitude is then given as a contour integral encircling the solutions of the scattering equations with the product $\hat{C} \hat{E}$ as integrand. Equivalently, it is given as a sum over the inequivalent solutions of the scattering equations, where the summand consists of a Jacobian times the product $\hat{C} \hat{E}$. This representation separates information: The generalised cyclic factor does not depend on the helicities of the external particles, the generalised permutation invariant function does not depend on the ordering of the external particles.

On the other hand, the solution of new field equation can be separated into two parts, one part is just same as the one in Quantum Field Theory and make it survived in this model, and the other part, which we will see doesn't take energy and momentum, just gives us a negative propagator which can soften quadratic divergence.

We construct superconformal invariants in superspace which are used to build 3-point correlators of spinning operators in general $\cal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories in three dimensions. Our systematic analysis includes various relations between these invariants and provides a minimal set of parity-even and parity-odd invariants which is further used to construct general 3-point functions in any 3d $\cal{N}=2$ SCFT. For conserved (super)currents, we explicitly compute various 3-point functions using Wick contractions in the free field case, and express them in terms of the constructed parity-even invariants. We give evidence through examples for the claim that the 3-point function of conserved currents generally comprises of two parts - a parity-even piece coming from the free theory, and a parity-odd piece.

We consider a gauge-invariant Hamiltonian analysis for Yang-Mills theories in three spatial dimensions. The gauge potentials are parametrized in terms of a matrix variable which facilitates the elimination of the gauge degrees of freedom. We develop an approximate calculation of the volume element on the gauge-invariant configuration space. We also make a rough estimate of the ratio of $0^{++}$ glueball mass and the square root of string tension by comparison with $(2+1)$-dimensional Yang-Mills theory.

In this paper, we holographically study the renormalization group (RG) flow in a three-dimensional Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential permitting several types of the RG flow with nontrivial beta-functions. By using the intrinsic parameter of the potential, we classify possible holographic RG flows and examine their physical features. Using the Ryu-Takayanagi formulation, furthermore, we investigate how the $c$-function of the entanglement entropy behaves along the RG flow numerically. We show that the entanglement $c$-function monotonically decreases even in the cases with a nontrivial beta-function. For checking the consistency, we also compare the result of the entanglement entropy with the $c$-function derived from the holographic renormalization procedure.

Canonical Feynman integrals are of great interest in the study of scattering amplitudes at the multi-loop level. We propose to construct $d\log$-form integrals of the hypergeometric type, treat them as a representation of Feynman integrals, and project them into master integrals using intersection theory. This provides a constructive way to build canonical master integrals whose differential equations can be solved easily. We use our method to investigate both the maximally cut integrals and the uncut ones at one and two loops, and demonstrate its applicability in problems with multiple scales.

A main difficulty in the quantization of the gravitational field is the lack of experiments that discriminate among the theories proposed to quantize gravity. Recently we showed that the Standard Model(SM) itself contains tiny Lorentz invariance violation(LIV) terms coming from QG. All terms depend on one arbitrary parameter $\alpha$ that set the scale of QG effects. In this talk we review the LIV for mesons nucleons and leptons and apply it to study several effects, including the GZK anomaly.

Soft theorems for the scattering of low energy photons and gravitons and cosmological consistency conditions on the squeezed-limit correlation functions are both understood to be consequences of invariance under large gauge transformations. We apply the same method used in cosmology -- based on the identification of an infinite set of "adiabatic modes" and the corresponding conserved currents -- to derive flat space soft theorems for electrodynamics and gravity. We discuss how the recent derivations based on the asymptotic symmetry groups (BMS) can be continued to a finite size sphere surrounding the scattering event, when the soft photon or graviton has a finite momentum. We give a finite distance derivation of the antipodal matching condition previously imposed between future and past null infinities, and explain why all but one radiative degrees of freedom decouple in the soft limit. In contrast to earlier works on BMS, we work with adiabatic modes which correspond to large gauge transformations that are $r$-dependent.

A Yang-Mills solution is constructed on T^6 which corresponds to a brane configuration composed purely of 0-branes and 6-branes. This configuration breaks all supersymmetries and has an energy greater than the sum of the energies of its components; nonetheless, the configuration is stable classically, at least to quadratic order. An analogous construction is also given for a system of 0-branes and 8-branes on T^8. These constructions may prove to be useful for describing 6-branes and 8-branes in M(atrix) theory.

We present a unified framework for the study of late time cosmic acceleration. Using methods of effective field theory, we show that existing proposals for late time acceleration can be subsumed in a single framework, rather than many compartmentalized theories. We construct the most general action consistent with symmetry principles, derive the background and perturbation evolution equations, and demonstrate that for special choices of our parameters we can reproduce results already existing in the literature. Lastly, we lay the foundation for future work placing phenomenological constraints on the parameters of the effective theory. Although in this paper we focus on late time acceleration, our construction also generalizes the effective field theory of inflation to the scalar-tensor and multi-field case for perturbatively constructed backgrounds.

Assessing the stability of higher-dimensional rotating black holes requires a study of linearized gravitational perturbations around such backgrounds. We study perturbations of Myers-Perry black holes with equal angular momenta in an odd number of dimensions (greater than five), allowing for a cosmological constant. We find a class of perturbations for which the equations of motion reduce to a single radial equation. In the asymptotically flat case we find no evidence of any instability. In the asymptotically anti-de Sitter case, we demonstrate the existence of a superradiant instability that sets in precisely when the angular velocity of the black hole exceeds the speed of light from the point of view of the conformal boundary. We suggest that the endpoint of the instability may be a stationary, nonaxisymmetric black hole.

We consider N=2 SQCD with the U(N) gauge group and N_f flavors (N_f>N) perturbed by an N=2 breaking deformation - a small mass term \mu for the adjoint matter. We study r-vacua, with the constraint $2N_f/3 < r \le N. At large values of the parameter \xi\sim\mu m (m is a typical value of the quark masses) r quark flavors condense, by construction. The effective low-energy theory with the gauge group U(r)\times U(1)^{N-r} is at weak coupling. Upon reducing \xi the original theory undergoes a crossover transition from weak to strong coupling. As the original theory becomes strongly coupled, at low energies it is described by a weakly coupled infrared-free dual theory with the gauge group U(N_f-r)\times U(1)^{N-N_f+r} and N_f light dyon flavors. These dyons condense triggering formation of non-Abelian strings which still confine monopoles, rather than quarks, contrary to naive duality arguments. "Instead-of-confinement" mechanism for quarks and gauge bosons of the original theory takes place: screened quarks and gauge bosons of the original theory decay, on curves of the marginal stability (CMS), into confined monopole-antimonopole pairs that form stringy mesons. Next, we increase the deformation parameter \mu thus decoupling the adjoint fields. Then our theory flows to N=1 SQCD. The gauge group of the dual theory becomes U(N_f-r). We show that the dual theory is weakly coupled if we are sufficiently close to the Argyres-Douglas point. The "instead-of-confinement" mechanism for quarks and gauge bosons survives in the limit of large \mu. It determines low-energy non-Abelian dynamics in the r-vacua of N=1 SQCD.

We look at solutions of Minimal Massive Gravity (MMG), a generalisation of Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) that improves upon its holographic properties. It is shown that generically (in MMG parameter space) all conformally flat solutions of vacuum MMG are locally isometric to one of the two (A)dS vacua of the theory. We then couple a scalar field, and find that domain wall solutions can only interpolate between these two vacua precisely when the bulk graviton is tachyonic. Finally, we find a non-BTZ AdS black hole solution satisfying Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions, which lies within the "bulk/ boundary unitarity region".

A new discrete symmetry is shown to govern and simplify low-energy properties of the supersymmetric N=2 gauge theory with an arbitrary gauge group. Each element of the related symmetry group S_r, r being the rank of the gauge group, represents a permutation of r electric charges available in the theory accompanied by a concurrent permutation of r monopoles, provided the sets of charges and monopoles are chosen properly. The superpotential is symmetric under S_r. This symmetry strongly manifests itself for the degenerate case; when the masses of r electric charges are chosen to be equal, then the masses of r monopoles are necessarily degenerate as well, and vice versa. This condition uniquely defines the vital for the theory VEV of the scalar field, which makes all monopoles massless.

A new discrete symmetry is shown to govern and simplify low-energy properties of the supersymmetric N=2 gauge theory with an arbitrary gauge group. Each element of the related symmetry group S_r, r being the rank of the gauge group, represents a permutation of r electric charges available in the theory accompanied by a concurrent permutation of r monopoles, provided the sets of charges and monopoles are chosen properly. The superpotential is symmetric under S_r. This symmetry strongly manifests itself for the degenerate case; when the masses of r electric charges are chosen to be equal, then the masses of r monopoles are necessarily degenerate as well, and vice versa. This condition uniquely defines the vital for the theory VEV of the scalar field, which makes all monopoles massless.

We study Vafa's geometric transition and Klebanov - Strassler solution from various points of view in M-theory. In terms of brane configurations, we show the detailed equivalences between the two models. In some limits, both models have an alternative realization as fourfolds in M-theory with appropriate G-fluxes turned on. We discuss some aspects of the fourfolds including how to see the transition and a possible extension to the non-supersymmetric case.

A new gauge invariant formulation of the relativistic scalar field interacting with Chern-Simons gauge fields is considered. This formulation is consistent with the gauge fixed formulation. Furthermore we find that canonical (Noether) Poincar\'e generators are not gauge invariant even on the constraints surface and do not satisfy the (classical) Poincar\'e algebra. It is the improved generators, constructed from the symmetric energy-momentum tensor, which are (manifestly) gauge invariant and obey the classical Poincar\'e algebra.

We attempt the linearization of N=1 SGM action describing the nonlinear supersymmetric gravitational interaction of superon(Nambu-Goldstone fermion). We find that 80+80 field contents may give the off-shell supermultiplet of the supergravity-like linearized theory and they are realized explicitly up to $O(\psi^2)$ as the composites, though they have modified SUSY transformations which closes on super-Poincar\'e algebra. Particular attentions are paid to the local Lorentz invariance in the minimal interaction.

Within the class of field theories with the field contents of the Skyrme model, one submodel can be found which consists of the square of the baryon current and a potential term only. For this submodel, a Bogomolny bound exists and the static soliton solutions saturate this bound. Further, already on the classical level, this BPS Skyrme model reproduces some features of the liquid drop model of nuclei. Here, we investigate the model in more detail and, besides, we perform the rigid rotor quantization of the simplest Skyrmion (the nucleon). In addition, we discuss indications that the viability of the model as a low energy effective field theory for QCD is further improved in the limit of a large number of colors N_c.

We investigate the end point of this instability, finding a spatially modulated ground state, which is a charge and spin density wave. We analyze the phase structure of the model as a function of chemical potential and magnetic field and find the phase transition from the homogeneous state to be first order, with a second-order critical point at zero magnetic field.

We present a review of the one-loop photon ($\Pi$) and neutrino ($\Sigma$) two-point functions in a covariant and deformed $\rm U(1)$ gauge-theory on the 4-dimensional noncommutative spaces, determined by a constant antisymmetric tensor $\theta^{\mu\nu}$, and by a parameter-space $(\kappa_f,\kappa_g)$, respectively. For the general fermion-photon $S_f(\kappa_f)$ and photon self-interaction $S_g(\kappa_g)$ the closed form results reveal two-point functions with all kind of pathological terms: the UV divergence, the quadratic UV/IR mixing terms as well as a logarithmic IR divergent term of the type $\ln(\mu^2(\theta p)^2)$. In addition, the photon-loop produces new tensor structures satisfying transversality condition by themselves. We show that the photon two-point function in the 4-dimensional Euclidean spacetime can be reduced to two finite terms by imposing a specific full rank of $\theta^{\mu\nu}$ and setting deformation parameters $(\kappa_f,\kappa_g)=(0,3)$. In this case the neutrino two-point function vanishes. Thus for a specific point $(0,3)$ in the parameter-space $(\kappa_f,\kappa_g)$, a covariant $\theta$-exact approach is able to produce a divergence-free result for the one-loop quantum corrections, having also both well-defined commutative limit and point-like limit of an extended object.

They are so-called Zarembo-type: the Wilson loops of our interest have generic contours in spacetime, but the scalar field coupling is arranged accordingly so that there are unbroken supersymmetries. Based on the supermatrix formulation of Wilson loops by Drukker and Trancanelli, we construct explicitly 1/6-BPS Wilson loops and check that their expectation value is protected using perturbation up to two loops. We also study the dual string configuration in AdS4 x CP3 background and check the supersymmetry.

We study the late time behavior of $n$-point spectral form factors (SFFs) in two-dimensional Witten-Kontsevich topological gravity, which includes both Airy and JT gravities as special cases. This is conducted in the small $\hbar$ expansion, where $\hbar \sim e^{- {1}/{G_N}}$ is the genus counting parameter and nonperturbative in Newton's constant $G_N$. For one-point SFF, we study its absolute square at two different late times. We show that it decays by power law at $t \sim \hbar^{-2/3}$ while it decays exponentially at $t \sim \hbar^{-1}$ due to the higher order corrections in $\hbar$. We also study general $n (\ge 2)$-point SFFs at $t \sim \hbar^{-1}$ in the leading order of the $\hbar$ expansion. We find that they are characterized by a single function, which is essentially the connected two-point SFF and is determined by the classical eigenvalue density $\rho_0(E)$ of the dual matrix integral. These studies suggest that qualitative behaviors of $n$-point SFFs are similar in both Airy and JT gravities, where our analysis in the former case is based on exact results.

We generalise the electric-magnetic duality in standard Maxwell theory to its non-commutative version. Both space-space and space-time non-commutativity are necessary. The duality symmetry is then extended to a general class of non-commutative gauge theories that goes beyond non-commutative electrodynamics. As an application of this symmetry, plane wave solutions are analysed. Dispersion relations following from these solutions show that general non-commutative gauge theories other than electrodynamics admits two waves with distinct polarisations propagating at different velocities in the same direction.

An index relation $dim\ ker\ a^{\dagger}a - dim\ ker\ aa^{\dagger} = 1$ is satisfied by the creation and annihilation operators $a^{\dagger}$ and $a$ of a harmonic oscillator. A hermitian phase operator, which inevitably leads to $dim\ ker\ a^{\dagger}a - dim\ ker\ aa^{\dagger} = 0$, cannot be consistently defined. If one considers an $s+1$ dimensional truncated theory, a hermitian phase operator of Pegg and Barnett which carries a vanishing index can be defined. However, for arbitrarily large $s$, we show that the vanishing index of the hermitian phase operator of Pegg and Barnett causes a substantial deviation from minimum uncertainty in a characteristically quantum domain with small average photon numbers. We also mention an interesting analogy between the present problem and the chiral anomaly in gauge theory which is related to the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. It is suggested that the phase operator problem related to the above analytic index may be regarded as a new class of quantum anomaly. From an anomaly view point ,it is not surprising that the phase operator of Susskind and Glogower, which carries a unit index, leads to an anomalous identity and an anomalous commutator.

Ghosts & Matter Couplings in Massive (bi-&multi-)Gravity

Recently, several works have investigated the coupling to matter in ghost-free massive (bi-&multi-)gravity and a new effective coupling to matter has been proposed. In this note we clarify some confusion on the existence and the implications of a ghost above the strong coupling scale. We confirm that the standard constraint which is otherwise typically present in this type of theories disappears on generic backgrounds as soon as this new coupling is considered. This implies the re-emergence of the Boulware-Deser ghost.

Recently, several works have investigated the coupling to matter in ghost-free massive (bi-&multi-)gravity and a new effective coupling to matter has been proposed. In this note we clarify some confusion on the existence and the implications of a ghost above the strong coupling scale. We confirm that the standard constraint which is otherwise typically present in this type of theories disappears on generic backgrounds as soon as this new coupling is considered. This implies the re-emergence of the Boulware-Deser ghost. Nevertheless the absence of ghost in the decoupling limit implies that the cut-off scale (if identified with the scale at which the ghost enters) is higher than the strong coupling scale. Therefore there is a valid interesting region of applicability for these couplings at scales below the cut-off.

Photon sector analysis of Super and Lorentz symmetry breaking: effective photon mass, bi-refringence and dissipation
To appear in Eur. Phys. J. C. We extend our previuous findings in arXiv:1607.08786 [hep-ph] and determine an effective mass for the photon also in the even CPT sector. Furthermore, the light-wave dissipation in vacuum, interpreted from the particle view point, might be seen as loss of frequency, and thereby 'tired light'

Within the Standard Model Extension (SME), we expand our previous findings on four classes of violations of Super-Symmetry (SuSy) and Lorentz Symmetry (LoSy), differing in the handedness of the Charge conjugation-Parity-Time reversal (CPT) symmetry and in whether considering the impact of photinos on photon propagation. The violations, occurring at the early universe high energies, show visible traces at present in the Dispersion Relations (DRs). For the CPT-odd classes ($V_{\mu}$ breaking vector) associated with the Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) model, the DRs and the Lagrangian show for the photon an effective mass, gauge invariant, proportional to $|{\vec V}|$. The group velocity exhibits a classic dependency on the inverse of the frequency squared. For the CPT-even classes ($k_{F}$ breaking tensor), when the photino is considered, the DRs display also a massive behaviour inversely proportional to a coefficient in the Lagrangian and to a term linearly dependent on $k_{F}$. All DRs display an angular dependence and lack LoSy invariance. In describing our results, we also point out the following properties: i) the appearance of complex or simply imaginary frequencies and super-luminal speeds and ii) the emergence of bi-refringence. Finally, we point out the circumstances for which SuSy and LoSy breakings, possibly in presence of an external field, lead to the non-conservation of the photon energy-momentum tensor. We do so for both CPT sectors.

Our general solution is formulated in terms of a homogeneous (of degree two) function of unconstrained (analytic) Fayet-Sohnius hypermultiplet superfields. We also derive the improved (N=2 superconformal) actions for the off-shell (constrained) N=2 projective hypermultiplets, and relate them (via non-conformal deformations) to the asymptotically locally-flat (ALF) A_k and D_k series of the gravitational instantons. The same metrics describe Kaluza-Klein monopoles in M-theory, while they also arise in the quantum moduli spaces of N=4 supersymmetric gauge field theories with SU(2) gauge group and matter hypermultiplets in three spacetime dimensions. We comment on rotational isometries versus translational isometries in the context of N=2 NLSM in terms of projective hypermultiplets.

The covariant Bianchi identity defining the $N=1$, $d=4$ vector supermultiplet has been constructed by introducing a new bosonic Goldstone superfield associated with the generator of the $U(1)$ group, which transforms to each other the spinor generators of unbroken and spontaneously broken $N=1$, $d=4$ supersymmetries. The first component of this Goldstone superfield is the auxiliary field of the vector supermultiplet and, therefore, the Bianchi identity can be properly defined. The component action of the D3-brane has a very simple form, being written in terms of derivatives covariant with respect to spontaneously broken supersymmetry - it just mimics its bosonic counterpart.

Using canonical typicality method, we reconsider the study of dark energy effects on four dimensional black holes. Concretely, we investigate the associated influences on the spectrum of various black hole backgrounds including the charged and the rotating ones. For such black hole solutions, we first elaborate analytically the corresponding radiation spectrum, the Hawking temperature and the dark information. Then, we discuss and analyze the corresponding findings. This work, recovering the results of the Schwarzschield black hole, confirms that dark energy can be considered as a cooling system surrounding the black holes providing a colder radiation and a slower Hawking radiation process.

We introduce a new Lorentz-violating modification to a scalar quantum field theory. This interaction, while super-renormalizable by power counting, is fundamentally different from the interactions previously considered within the Lorentz-violating standard model extension. The Lagrange density is nonlocal, because of the presence of a Hilbert transform term; however, this nonlocality is also very weak. The theory has reasonable stability and causality properties and, although the Lorentz-violating interaction possesses a single vector index, the theory is nonetheless CPT even. As an application, we analyze the possible effects of this new form of Lorentz violation on neutral meson oscillations. We find that under certain circumstances, the interaction may lead to quite peculiar sidereal modulations in the oscillation frequency.

We investigate the Hawking radiation in the gauge-Higgs-Yukawa theory. The ballistic model is proposed as an effective description of the system. We find that a spherical domain wall around the black hole is formed by field dynamics rather than thermal phase-transition. The formation is a general property of the black hole whose Hawking temperature is equal to or greater than the energy scale of the theory. The formation of the electroweak wall and that of the GUT wall are shown. We also find a phenomenon of the spontaneous charging-up of the black hole by the wall. The Hawking radiation drives a mechanism of the charge-transportation into the black hole when C- and CP-violation are assumed. The mechanism can strongly transport the hyper-charge into a black hole of the electroweak scale.

We show, in the case of a pure Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory, that there are no corrections to the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term beyond one loop in the axial gauge. Our arguments use constraints coming only from small gauge Ward identities as well as the analyticity of the amplitudes, much like the proof in the Abelian case.

We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with a gravitational wave for the case when the gravitational fluctuations are quantized in order to incorporate quantum gravity effects into the theory. We observe that the solution of the time-dependent part of the pseudo-Goldstone boson has infusions from the noise induced by gravitons and the corresponding differential equation of motion is Langevin-like. Using this result, we obtain the quantum gravity modified Fisher information which has been termed as the quantum gravitational Fisher information (QGFI). The inverse square root of the stochastic average of the QGFI gives the minimum uncertainty in the measurement of the gravitational wave amplitude. The minimum uncertainty does not go to infinity as the measurement time approaches zero in a quantum gravity setup rather it has a measurable finite value for gravitons with high squeezing. Finally, we observe the effect of decoherence due to interacting phonon modes in the QGFI and observe a less obvious decoherence effect for higher squeezing of the initial graviton.

For the case of a relativistic scalar field at finite temperature with a chemical potential, we calculate an exact expression for the one-loop effective action using the full fourth order determinant and zeta-function regularisation. We find that it agrees with the exact expression for the factored operator and thus there appears to be no mulitplicative anomaly. The appearance of the anomaly for the fourth order operator in the high temperature limit is explained and we show that the multiplicative anomaly can be calculated as the difference between two zeta-regularised zero-point energies. This difference is a result of using a charge operator in the Hamiltonian which has not been normal ordered.

Studying the resummed graviton propagator, we propose to interpret its complex poles as black hole precursors. Our main result is the calculation of the mass and width of the lightest of black holes. We show that the values of the masses of black hole precursors depend on the number of fields in the theory. Their masses can be lowered down to the TeV region by increasing the number of fields in a hidden sector that only interacts gravitationally with the standard model.

Gravity curves spacetime. In regions where the de Broglie wavelength is very small compared to the curvature of spacetime, the wave equations in flat spacetime can be generalized to curved spacetime. The validity of the formulation when the de Broglie wavelength becomes comparable to the curvature is an open question. To test these formulations experimentally, huge energy of the order of the Planck mass would be required. Euclideanized spacetime is used to model thermal systems. In this work, an equivalence between spatial variation of temperature in thermal baths and curvature of Euclideanized spacetime is propounded. The variation in temperature is recast as a variation in the metric. The Dirac equation is then solved in this curved Euclideanized spacetime. The curvature in Euclideanized spacetime can be obtained in Chromodynamic or Electromagnetic scale energies. If this equivalence is correct, it could provide a platform to experimentally explore quantum mechanics in curved spacetime.

Gravity curves spacetime. In regions where the de Broglie wavelength is very small compared to the curvature of spacetime, the wave equations in flat spacetime can be generalized to curved spacetime. The validity of the formulation when the de Broglie wavelength becomes comparable to the curvature is an open question. To test these formulations experimentally, huge energy of the order of the Planck mass would be required. Euclideanized spacetime is used to model thermal systems. In this work, an equivalence between spatial variation of temperature in thermal baths and curvature of Euclideanized spacetime is propounded. The variation in temperature is recast as a variation in the metric. The Dirac equation is then solved in this curved Euclideanized spacetime. The curvature in Euclideanized spacetime can be obtained in Chromodynamic or Electromagnetic scale energies. If this equivalence is correct, it could provide a platform to experimentally explore quantum mechanics in curved spacetime.

We introduce the Wigner functional representing a quantum field in terms of the field amplitudes and their conjugate momenta. The equation of motion for the functional of a scalar field point out the relevance of solutions of the classical field equations to the time evolution of the quantum field. We discuss the field in thermodynamical equilibrium and find the explicit solution of the equations of motion for the so-called ``roll-over'' phase transition. Finally, we briefly discuss the approximate methods for the evaluation of the Wigner functional that may be used to numerically simulate the initial value problem..

We study two nonlinear extensions of the nonlocal $R\,\Box^{-2}R$ gravity theory. We extend this theory in two different ways suggested by conformal symmetry, either replacing $\Box^{-2}$ with $(-\Box + R/6)^{-2}$, which is the operator that enters the action for a conformally-coupled scalar field, or replacing $\Box^{-2}$ with the inverse of the Paneitz operator, which is a four-derivative operator that enters in the effective action induced by the conformal anomaly. We show that the former modification gives an interesting and viable cosmological model, with a dark energy equation of state today $w_{\rm DE}\simeq -1.01$, which very closely mimics $\Lambda$CDM and evolves asymptotically into a de Sitter solution. The model based on the Paneitz operator seems instead excluded by the comparison with observations. We also review some issues about the causality of nonlocal theories, and we point out that these nonlocal models can be modified so to nicely interpolate between Starobinski inflation in the primordial universe and accelerated expansion in the recent epoch.

The chiral and scale anomalies of a very general class of non local Dirac operators are computed using the $\zeta$-function definition of the fermionic determinant. For the axial anomaly all new terms introduced by the non locality are shown to be removable by counterterms and such counterterms are also explicitly computed. It is verified that the non local Dirac operators have the standard minimal anomaly in Bardeen's form.

In this paper, we propose a new framework for quantum field theory in terms of consistency conditions. The consistency conditions that we consider are "associativity" or "factorization" conditions on the operator product expansion (OPE) of the theory, and are proposed to be the defining property of any quantum field theory. Our framework is presented in the Euclidean setting, and is applicable in principle to any quantum field theory, including non-conformal ones. In our framework, we obtain a characterization of perturbations of a given quantum field theory in terms of a certain cohomology ring of Hochschild-type. We illustrate our framework by the free field, but our constructions are general and apply also to interacting quantum field theories. For such theories, we propose a new scheme to construct the OPE which is based on the use of non-linear quantized field equations.

Inflationary potentials are investigated for specific models in type IIB string theory via flux compactification. As concrete models, we investigate several cases where the internal spaces are weighted projective spaces. The models we consider have two, three, or four K\"{a}hler moduli. The K\"{a}hler moduli play a role of inflaton fields and we consider the cases where only one of the moduli behaves as the inflaton field. For the cases with more than two moduli, we choose the diagonal basis for the expression of the Calabi-Yau volume, which can be written down as a function of four-cycle. With the combination of multiple moduli, we can express the multi-dimensional problem as an effective one-dimensional problem. In the large volume scenario, the potentials of these three models turn out to be of the same type. By taking the specific limit of the relation between the moduli and the volume, the potentials are reduced to simpler ones which induce inflation. As a toy model we first consider the simple potential. We calculate the slow roll parameters $\epsilon$, $\eta$ and $\xi$ for each inflationary potential. Then, we check whether the potentials give reasonable spectral indices $n_s$ and their running $\alpha_s$'s by comparing with the recently released seven-year WMAP data. For both models, we see reasonable spectral indices for the number of e-folding $47<N_e<61$. Conversely, by inserting the observed seven-year WMAP data, we see that the potential of the toy model gives requisite number of e-folds while the potential of the K\"{a}hler moduli gives much smaller number of e-folding. Finally, we see that two models do not produce reasonable values of the running of the spectral index.

Van Holten's covariant algorithm for deriving conserved quantities is presented, with particular attention paid to Runge-Lenz-type vectors. The classical dynamics of isospin-carrying particles is reviewed. Physical applications including non-Abelian monopole-type systems in diatoms, introduced by Moody, Shapere and Wilczek, are considered. Applied to curved space, the formalism of van Holten allows us to describe the dynamical symmetries of generalized Kaluza-Klein monopoles. The framework is extended to supersymmetry and applied to the SUSY of the monopoles. Yet another application concerns the three-dimensional non-commutative oscillator.

We analyze the bosonic current densities induced by a magnetic flux running along an idealized cosmic string considering that the coordinate along its axis is compactified. We also consider the presence of a magnetic flux enclosed by the compactificatified axis. To develop this analysis, we calculate the complete set of normalized bosonic wave functions obeying a quasiperiodicity condition along the compactified dimension. We show that in this context only the azimuthal and axial currents take place.

According to the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription, the entanglement entropy of subsystems in the boundary conformal field theory (CFT) is proportional to the area of extremal surfaces in bulk asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. The flat-space limit of these surfaces is not well defined in the generic case. We introduce a new curve in the three-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetimes with a well-defined flat-space limit. We find this curve by using a new vector, which is vanishing on it and is normal to the bulk modular flow of the original interval in the two-dimensional CFT. The flat-space limit of this new vector is well defined and gives rise to the bulk modular flow of the corresponding asymptotically flat spacetime. Moreover, after Rindler transformation, this new vector is the normal Killing vector of the BTZ inner horizon. We reproduce all known results about the holographic entanglement entropy of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs invariant field theories, which are dual to the asymptotically flat spacetimes.

We present a class of charged black hole solutions in an ($n+2)$-dimensional massive gravity with a negative cosmological constant, and study thermodynamics and phase structure of the black hole solutions both in grand canonical ensemble and canonical ensemble. The black hole horizon can have a positive, zero or negative constant curvature characterized by constant $k$. By using Hamiltonian approach, we obtain conserved charges of the solutions and find black hole entropy still obeys the area formula and the gravitational field equation at the black hole horizon can be cast into the first law form of black hole thermodynamics. In grand canonical ensemble, we find that thermodynamics and phase structure depends on the combination $k -\mu^2/4 +c_2 m^2$ in the four dimensional case, where $\mu$ is the chemical potential and $c_2m^2$ is the coefficient of the second term in the potential associated with graviton mass. When it is positive, the Hawking-Page phase transition can happen, while as it is negative, the black hole is always thermodynamically stable with a positive capacity. In canonical ensemble, the combination turns out to be $k+c_2m^2$ in the four dimensional case. When it is positive, a first order phase transition can happen between small and large black holes if the charge is less than its critical one. In higher dimensional ($n+2 \ge 5$) case, even when the charge is absent, the small/large black hole phase transition can also appear, the coefficients for the third ($c_3m^2$) and/or the fourth ($c_4m^2$) terms in the potential associated with graviton mass in the massive gravity can play the same role as the charge does in the four dimensional case.

We revisit the issue that the effective potential for the conformal factor of the metric, which is generated by quantized matter fields, possesses a non-vanishing vacuum expectation value (VEV) or not. We prove that the effective potential has a vanishing vacuum expectation value on the basis of a global $GL(4)$ symmetry. We also account for the reason why there seem to be two different effective potentials for the conformal factor in a theory, one of which gives rise to a vanishing VEV for the conformal factor whereas the other does a non-vanishing VEV.

We propose that the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the phase transition between wormhole and two black hole described by the two coupled SYK model can be investigated in terms of the stochastic dynamics on the underlying free energy landscape. We assume that the phase transition is a stochastic process under the thermal fluctuations. By quantifying the underlying free energy landscape, we study the phase diagram, the kinetic time and its fluctuations in details, which reveal the underlying thermodynamics and kinetics. It is shown that the first order phase transition between wormhole and two black hole described by two coupled SYK model is analogous to the Van der Waals phase transition. Therefore, the emergence of wormhole and two black hole phases, the phase transition and associated kinetics can be quantitatively addressed in our free energy landscape and kinetic framework through the dependence on the barrier height and the temperature.

We construct warped "AdS_4 x S^2 x S^2 x \Sigma" type IIB supergravity solutions dual to the infrared fixed points of all 3d N=4 linear and circular quivers. We provide checks of the correspondence by evaluating the supergravity action in a large N limit and by matching it with the computation of the free energy obtained from matrix models. To complete previous work, we establish the holographic dictionary for the more general supergravity solutions corresponding to domain walls (non-compact \Sigma) and dual to 4d SYM CFT coupled to a 1/2 BPS 3d defect. We also use our evaluations of the free energy to show that the F-theorem is verified for RG-flow relating T^{\rho}_{\hat\rho}(SU(N)) SCFTs.

We provide checks of the correspondence by evaluating the supergravity action in a large N limit and by matching it with the computation of the free energy obtained from matrix models. To complete previous work, we establish the holographic dictionary for the more general supergravity solutions corresponding to domain walls (non-compact \Sigma) and dual to 4d SYM CFT coupled to a 1/2 BPS 3d defect. We also use our evaluations of the free energy to show that the F-theorem is verified for RG-flow relating T^{\rho}_{\hat\rho}(SU(N)) SCFTs.

The exactly solvable scalar hairy black hole model (originated from the modern high-energy theory) is proposed. It turns out that the existence of black holes (BH) is strongly correlated to global scalar field, in a sense that they mutually impose bounds upon their physical parameters like the BH mass (lower bound) or the cosmological constant (upper bound). We consider the same model also as a cosmological one and show that it agrees with recent experimental data; additionally, it provides a unified quintessence-like description of dark energy and dark matter.

We define a noncommutative and nonanticommutative associative product for general supersymplectic forms, allowing the explicit treatment of non(anti)commutative field theories from general nonconstant string backgrounds like a graviphoton field. We propose a generalization of deformation quantization a la Fedosov to superspace, which considers noncommutativity in the tangent bundle instead of base space, by defining the Weyl super product of elements of Weyl super algebra bundles. Super Poincare symmetry is not broken and chirality seems not to be compromised in our formulation. We show that, for a particular case, the projection of the Weyl super product to the base space gives rise the Moyal product for non(anti)commutative theories.

We study a bosonic four--dimensional effective action corresponding to the heterotic string compactified on a 6--torus (dilaton--axion gravity with one vector field) on a curved space--time manifold possessing a time--like Killing vector field. Previously an existence of the $SO(2,3)\sim Sp(4, R)$ global symmetry ($U$--duality) as well as the symmetric space property of the corresponding $\sigma$--model have been established following Neugebauer and Kramer approach. Here we present an explicit form of the $Sp(4, R)$ generators in terms of coset variables and construct a representation of the coset in terms of the physical target space coordinates. Complex symmetric $2\times 2$ matrix $Z$ (``matrix dilaton --axion'') is introduced for which $U$--duality takes the matrix valued $SL(2, R)$ form. In terms of this matrix the theory is further presented as a K\"ahler $\sigma$--model. This leads to a more concise $2\times 2$ formulation which opens new ways to construct exact classical solutions. New solution (corresponding to constant ${\rm Im} Z$ ) is obtained which describes the system of point massless magnetic monopoles endowed with axion charges equal to minus monopole charges. In such a system mutual magnetic repulsion is exactly balanced by axion attraction so that the resulting space time is locally flat but possesses multiple Taub--NUT singularities.

We study real-time correlators in the warped AdS/CFT correspondence. We apply the prescription used in the usual AdS/CFT correspondence and obtain the retarded Green's functions for the scalar and vector fields in the spacelike warped and the null warped black hole backgrounds. We find that the retarded Green's functions and the cross sections are well consistent with the predictions from dual CFT. Our results not only support strongly the conjectured warped AdS/CFT correspondence, but also show that the usual relativistic AdS/CFT prescription of obtaining the real-time correlators remain effective in more general backgrounds with anisotropic conformal infinity.

We show how the BRST complex can be extended to a complex where the string center of mass operator, x^mu_0, is well defined. We investigate the cohomology of the extended complex. We demonstrate that this cohomology has a number of interesting features. Unlike in the standard BRST cohomology, there is no doubling of physical states in the extended complex. The cohomology of the extended complex is more physical in a number of of aspects related to the zero-momentum states. In particular, we show that the ghost number one zero-momentum cohomology states are in one to one correspondence with the generators of the global symmetries of the background i.e., the Poincare algebra.

The AdS Distance Conjecture proposes to assign a notion of distance between AdS vacua in quantum gravity. We perform some initial developments of this idea. We first propose more sharply how to define a metric on conformal variations of AdS through the action. This metric is negative, making the distance ill-defined, a property relating to the famous conformal factor problem of quantum gravity. However, in string theory, variations of the AdS conformal factor are accompanied by variations of the internal dimensions and of the background flux. We propose an $\textit{action metric}$, which accounts for all of these variations simultaneously. Accounting for the variations of the overall volume of the internal dimensions can flip the sign of the action metric making it positive. This positivity is related to the absence of scale separation between the internal and external dimensions: the negative external conformal contribution must be sub-dominant to the positive internal contribution. We then focus specifically on the families of solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity on AdS$_4 \times S^7$ and AdS$_7 \times S^4$. For these, there is only a single further additional contribution to the action metric coming from variations of the Freund-Rubin flux. This contribution is subtle to implement, and the unique prescription we find requires singling out the radial direction of AdS as special. Adding the flux contribution yields an overall total action metric which becomes positive for both the AdS$_4$ and AdS$_7$ families of solutions. The final result is therefore a procedure which yields a well-defined distance for these families of solutions.

In the series of papers we represent the ``Whittaker'' wave functional of $d+1$-dimensional Liouville model as a correlator in $d+0$-dimensional theory of the sine-Gordon type (for $d=0$ and $1$). Asypmtotics of this wave function is characterized by the Harish-Chandra function, which is shown to be a product of simple $\Gamma$-function factors over all positive roots of the corresponding algebras (finite-dimensional for $d=0$ and affine for $d=1$). This is in nice correspondence with the recent results on 2- and 3-point correlators in $1+1$ Liouville model, where emergence of peculiar double-periodicity is observed. The Whittaker wave functions of $d+1$-dimensional non-affine ("conformal") Toda type models are given by simple averages in the $d+0$ dimensional theories of the affine Toda type. This phenomenon is in obvious parallel with representation of the free-field wave functional, which is originally a Gaussian integral over interior of a $d+1$-dimensional disk with given boundary conditions, as a (non-local) quadratic integral over the $d$-dimensional boundary itself. In the present paper we mostly concentrate on the finite-dimensional case. The results for finite-dimensional "Iwasawa" Whittaker functions were known, and we present their survey. We also construct new "Gauss" Whittaker functions.

We consider an Einstein-Yang-Mills Lagrangian in a five dimensional space-time including a cosmological constant. Assuming all fields to be independent of the extra coordinate, a dimensional reduction leads to an effective (3+1)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs-dilaton model where the cosmological constant induces a Liouville potential in the dilaton field. We construct spherically symmetric solutions analytically in specific limits and study the generic solutions for vanishing dilaton coupling numerically. We find that in this latter case the solutions bifurcate with the branch of (Anti-) de Sitter-Reissner-Nordstrom ((A)dSRN) solutions.

Using the formalism of noncommutative geometric gauge theory based on the superconnection concept, we construct a new type of vector gauge theory possessing a shift-like symmetry and the usual gauge symmetry. The new shift-like symmetry is due to the matrix derivative of the noncommutative geometric gauge theory, and this gives rise to a mass term for the vector field without introducing the Higgs field. This construction becomes possible by using a constant one form even matrix for the matrix derivative, for which only constant zero form odd matrices have been used so far. The fermionic action in this formalism is also constructed and discussed.

We observe that the string equations of motion in both cases are integrable and the Lagrangians reduce to a form similar to that of deformed Neuman-Rosochatius system. We find out the scaling relations among various conserved charges and comment on the finite size effect for the dyonic giant magnons on $R_{t}\times \mathbb{CP}^{3}$ with two angular momenta. For the pulsating string we derive the energy as function of oscillation number and angular momenta along $\mathbb{CP}^{3}$.

We investigate gravitationally dressed bi-locals, and we study the soft higher spin mode expansion to obtain soft mode eigenfunctions. We also derive the spin-$s$ eigenfunction from $\mathcal{W}$-Ward identity and a recursion relation. Using the on-shell action, we evaluate the contributions of the soft higher spin modes to the out-of-time-order correlators, and the corresponding Lyapunov exponent of $SL(N)$ higher spin gravity is found to be ${2\pi \over \beta}(N-1)$.

Trivially-acting symmetries in two-dimensional conformal field theory include twist fields of dimension zero which are local topological operators. We investigate the consequences of regarding these operators as part of the global symmetry of the theory. That is, we regard such a symmetry as a mix of topological defect lines (TDLs) and topological point operators (TPOs). TDLs related by a trivially-acting symmetry can join at a TPO to form non-trivial two-way junctions. Upon gauging, the local operators at those junctions can become vacua in a disjoint union of theories. Examining the behavior of the TPOs under gauging therefore allows us to refine decomposition by tracking the trivially-acting symmetries of each universe. Mixed anomalies between the TDLs and TPOs provide discrete torsion-like phases for the partition functions of these orbifolds, modifying the resulting decomposition. This framework also readily allows for the consideration of trivially-acting non-invertible symmetries.

That is, we regard such a symmetry as a mix of topological defect lines (TDLs) and topological point operators (TPOs). TDLs related by a trivially-acting symmetry can join at a TPO to form non-trivial two-way junctions. Upon gauging, the local operators at those junctions can become vacua in a disjoint union of theories. Examining the behavior of the TPOs under gauging therefore allows us to refine decomposition by tracking the trivially-acting symmetries of each universe. Mixed anomalies between the TDLs and TPOs provide discrete torsion-like phases for the partition functions of these orbifolds, modifying the resulting decomposition. This framework also readily allows for the consideration of trivially-acting non-invertible symmetries.

The notion of generalized gravitational entropy introduced by Lewkowycz and Maldacena allows, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, to calculate CFT entanglement entropies. We adapt the method to the case where flavor branes are present and treated in the probe approximation. This allows to calculate the leading flavor correction to the CFT entanglement entropy from the on-shell action of the probe, while dealing with the backreaction is avoided entirely and from the outset. As an application we give concise derivations for the contribution of massless and massive flavor degrees of freedom to the entanglement entropy in N=4 SYM theory.

The semi-classical spectrum of the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories associated with an arbitrary compact simple Lie group G is obtained and shown to be entirely given by solitons. These theories describe quantum integrable massive perturbations of Gepner's G-parafermions whose classical equations-of-motion are non-abelian affine Toda equations. One-soliton solutions are constructed by embeddings of the SU(2) complex sine-Gordon soliton in the regular SU(2) subgroups of G. The resulting spectrum exhibits both stable and unstable particles, which is a peculiar feature shared with the spectrum of monopoles and dyons in N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories.

We demonstrate that string motivated inflation ending via tachyonic instability leaves a detectable imprint on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation by virtue of the excitation of non-Gaussian gravitational fluctuations. The present WMAP bound on non-Gaussianity is shown to constrain the string scale by $M_S/M_P\leq 10^{-4}$ for string coupling $g_{s}<0.1$, hence improving the existing bounds. If tachyon fluctuations during inflation are not negligible, we find the stringent constraint $g_s\sim 10^{-9}$ for $M_{S}/M_{P}<10^{-3}$. This case may soon be ruled out by the forthcoming CMB non-Gaussinianity bounds.

We extend a path-integral approach to bosonization previously developed in the framework of equilibrium Quantum Field Theories, to the case in which time-dependent interactions are taken into account. In particular we consider a non covariant version of the Thirring model in the presence of a dynamic barrier at zero temperature. By using the Closed Time Path (Schwinger-Keldysh) formalism, we compute the Green's function and the Total Energy Density of the system. Since our model contains the Tomonaga Luttinger model as a particular case, we make contact with recent results on non-equilibrium electronic systems.

We present simple arguments that detectors moving with constant acceleration (even acceleration for a finite time) should detect particles. The effect is seen to be universal. Moreover, detectors undergoing linear acceleration and uniform, circular motion both detect particles for the same physical reason. We show that if one uses a circularly orbiting electron in a constant external magnetic field as the Unruh--DeWitt detector, then the Unruh effect physically coincides with the experimentally verified Sokolov--Ternov effect.

We investigate first order phase transitions in a holographic setting of five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field, constructing phase diagrams of the dual field theory at finite temperature. We scan over the two-dimensional parameter space of a simple bottom-up model and map out important quantities for the phase transition: the region where first order phase transitions take place; the latent heat, the transition strength parameter $\alpha$, and the stiffness. We find that $\alpha$ is generically in the range 0.1 to 0.3, and is strongly correlated with the stiffness (the square of the sound speed in a barotropic fluid). Using the LISA Cosmology Working Group gravitational wave power spectrum model corrected for kinetic energy suppression at large $\alpha$ and non-conformal stiffness, we outline the observational prospects at the future space-based detectors LISA and TianQin. A TeV-scale hidden sector with a phase transition described by the model could be observable at both detectors.

In this paper we study the superstring version of the exactly solvable string model constructed by Russo and Tseytlin. This model represents superstring theory in a curved spacetime and can be seen as a generalization of the Melvin background. We investigate D-branes in this model as probes of the background geometry by constructing the boundary states. We find that spacetime singularities in the model become smooth at high energy from the viewpoint of open string. We show that there always exist bulk (movable) D-branes by the effect of electric flux. The model also includes Nappi-Witten model as the Penrose limit and supersymmetry is enhanced in the limit. We examine this phenomenon in the open string spectrum. We also find the similar enhancement of supersymmetry can be occurred in several coset models.

These Coxeter groups all share the property that their Coxeter graphs have incidence index 3, i.e. that each node is incident to three and only three single lines. Furthermore, the Coxeter exponents are either 2 or 3, but never infinity. We here go beyond subgroups of the Weyl group of E(10) and classify all rank 10 Coxeter groups with these properties. We find 21 distinct Coxeter groups of which 7 were already described in hep-th/0606123. Moreover, we extend the classification to the rank 11 case and we find 252 inequivalent rank 11 Coxeter groups with incidence index 4, of which at least 28 can be regularly embedded into E(11).

This generates an RG flow into a smooth background dual to non-SUSY gapped field theories in four dimensions. We study various holographic observables: a monotonic quantity associated with the number of degrees of freedom, Wilson loops that interpolate between conformal and confining behaviour with the possibility of screening, Entanglement Entropy, etc. We also give a prescription to compute the Holographic Complexity in this type of backgrounds and calculate the spectrum of spin-two glueballs of the field theories.

We examine the nonperturbative structure of the radiatively induced Chern-Simons term in a Lorentz- and CPT-violating modification of QED. Although the coefficient of the induced Chern-Simons term is in general undetermined, the nonperturbative theory appears to generate a definite value. However, the CPT-even radiative corrections in this same formulation of the theory generally break gauge invariance. We show that gauge invariance may yet be preserved through the use of a Pauli-Villars regulator, and, contrary to earlier expectations, this regulator does not necessarily give rise to a vanishing Chern-Simons term. Instead, two possible values of the Chern-Simons coefficient are allowed, one zero and one nonzero. This formulation of the theory therefore allows the coefficient to vanish naturally, in agreement with experimental observations.

We obtain an effective theory for the radion dynamics of the two-brane Randall Sundrum model, correct to all orders in brane velocity in the limit of close separation, which is of interest for studying brane collisions and early Universe cosmology. Obtained via a recursive solution of the Bulk equation of motions, the resulting theory represents a simple extension of the corresponding low-energy effective theory to the high energy regime. The four-dimensional low-energy theory is indeed not valid when corrections at second order in velocity are considered. This extension has the remarkable property of including only second derivatives and powers of first order derivatives. This important feature makes the theory particularly easy to solve. We then extend the theory by introducing a potential and detuning the branes.

We study quantum effects in five dimensions in heterotic superstring theory compactified on K_3 x S_1 and analyze the conjecture that its dual effective theory is eleven-dimensional supergravity compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. This theory is also equivalent to type II superstring theory compactified on the same Calabi-Yau manifold, in an appropriate large volume limit. In this limit the conifold singularity disappears and is replaced by a singularity associated to enhanced gauge symmetries, as naively expected from the heterotic description. Furthermore, we exhibit the existence of additional massless states which appear in the strong coupling regime of the heterotic theory and are related to a different type of singular points on Calabi-Yau threefolds.
