Rigid 4D N=2 supersymmetric backgrounds and actions

Daniel Butter, Gianluca Inverso, Ivano Lodato

We classify all N=2 rigid supersymmetric backgrounds in four dimensions with both Lorentzian and Euclidean signature that preserve eight real supercharges, up to discrete identific…

The fate of flat directions in higher derivative gravity

Nabamita Banerjee, Suvankar Dutta, Ivano Lodato

We discuss the fate of flat directions in higher derivative gravity by studying two explicit examples, namely higher derivative gauged supergravity in five dimensions and higher de…

Bounding interventional queries from generalized incomplete contingency tables

Ivano Lodato, Aditya V. Iyer, Isaac Z. To

We introduce a method for evaluating interventional queries and Average Treatment Effects (ATEs) in the presence of generalized incomplete contingency tables (GICTs), contingency t…

dilaton Weyl multiplet in 4D supergravity

Daniel Butter, Subramanya Hegde, Ivano Lodato +1

We construct the dilaton Weyl multiplet for conformal supergravity in four dimensions. Beginning from an on-shell vector multiplet coupled to the standard Weyl multiplet, the…

On partial information retrieval: the unconstrained 100 prisoner problem

Ivano Lodato, Snehal M. Shekatkar, Tian An Wong

We consider a generalization of the classical 100 Prisoner problem and its variant, involving empty boxes, whereby winning probabilities for a team depend on the number of attempts…

N=4 Supersymmetric BMS3 algebras from asymptotic symmetry analysis

Nabamita Banerjee, Ivano Lodato, Turmoli Neogi

We consider three dimensional flat supergravity, with an abelian R-symmetry enhancing the gravitational phase space. We obtain the field configuration whose asymptotic symmet…

Maximally -extended super-BMS algebras and Generalized 3D Gravity Solutions

Nabamita Banerjee, Arindam Bhattacharjee, Ivano Lodato +1

We consider the maximal extended supergravity theory in 3 dimensions with fermionic generators transforming under real but non necessarily irreducible representations of…

One-loop determinants for black holes in 4d gauged supergravity

Kiril Hristov, Ivano Lodato, Valentin Reys

We continue the effort of defining and evaluating the quantum entropy function for supersymmetric black holes in 4d gauged supergravity, initiated in [1803.05920]. T…

A 24+24 real scalar multiplet in four dimensional N=2 conformal supergravity

Subramanya Hegde, Ivano Lodato, Bindusar Sahoo

Starting from the 48+48 component multiplet of supercurrents for a rigid N=2 tensor multiplet in four spacetime dimensions, we obtain the transformation of the linearized supergrav…

Super-BMS algebras from flat supergravities

Ivano Lodato, Wout Merbis

We consider two possible flat space limits of three dimensional AdS supergravity. They differ by how the supercharges are scaled with the AdS radius : t…

Non-renormalization theorems and N=2 supersymmetric backgrounds

Daniel Butter, Bernard de Wit, Ivano Lodato

The conditions for fully supersymmetric backgrounds of general N=2 locally supersymmetric theories are derived based on the off-shell superconformal multiplet calculus. This enable…

Mapping Fermion and Boson systems onto the Fock space of harmonic oscillators

Vincenzo Branchina, Marco Di Liberto, Ivano Lodato

The fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is very general and applies to a broad variety of different physical phenomena in condensed matter physics. With the help of the FDT and f…

New higher-derivative invariants in N=2 supergravity and the Gauss-Bonnet term

Daniel Butter, Bernard de Wit, Sergei M. Kuzenko +1

A new class of N=2 locally supersymmetric higher-derivative invariants is constructed based on logarithms of conformal primary chiral superfields. They characteristically involve a…

Higher derivative corrections to BPS black hole attractors in 4d gauged supergravity

Kiril Hristov, Stefanos Katmadas, Ivano Lodato

We analyze BPS black hole attractors in 4d gauged supergravity in the presence of higher derivative supersymmetric terms, including a Weyl-squared-type action, and determine the re…

On the quantum entropy function in 4d gauged supergravity

Kiril Hristov, Ivano Lodato, Valentin Reys

We analyze BPS black hole attractors in the conformal 4d gauged supergravity formalism and apply the technique known as supergravity localization in order to evaluate Sen's quantum…

Extended Supersymmetric BMS algebras and Their Free Field Realisations

Nabamita Banerjee, Dileep P. Jatkar, Ivano Lodato +2

We study supersymmetric extensions of the three dimensional BMS algebra (BMS) with most generic possible central extensions. We find that -extended supersymmetri…

Logistic growth on networks: exact solutions for the SI model

Wout Merbis, Ivano Lodato

The SI model is the most basic of all compartmental models used to describe the spreading of information through a population. Despite its apparent simplicity, the analytic solutio…

Synchronization Properties of Network Motifs

Ivano Lodato, Stefano Boccaletti, Vito Latora

We address the problem of understanding the variable abundance of 3-node and 4-node subgraphs (motifs) in complex networks from a dynamical point of view. As a criterion in the det…
