both rotations turned on ... | hep-th |
Ambiguity in mana and magic definition and knot states: We study the Mana and Magic for quantum states. They have a standard

The three-loop Adler $D$-function for ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD with various
renormalization prescriptions: The three-loop Adler $D$-function for ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD in the

model. We also consider variati... | hep-th |
Complementarity in Wormhole Chromodynamics: The electric charge of a wormhole mouth and the magnetic flux ``linked'' by
the wormhole are non-commuting observables, and so cannot be simultaneously

Torsional Regularization of Self-Energy and Bare Mass of Electron: In the presence of spacetime torsion, the momentum components do not commute;

gravity, in which tor... | hep-th |
Astrophysical Violations of the Kerr Bound as a Possible Signature of
String Theory: In 4D general relativity, the angular momentum of a black hole is limited by
the Kerr bound. We suggest that in string theory, this bound can be breached

Hawking temperature from tunnelling formalism: It has recently been suggested that the attempt to understand Hawking

New Multicritical Random Matrix Ensembles: In this paper we construct a class of random matrix ensembles labelled by a
real parameter $\alpha \in (0,1)$, whose eigenvalue density near zero behaves
like $|x|^\alpha$. The eigenvalue spacing near zero scales like

Topological Gravity as the Early Phase of Our Universe: Motivated by string dualities we propose topological gravity as the early

A double integral of dlog forms which is not polylogarithmic: Feynman integrals are central to all calculations in perturbative Quantum
