Reciprocal Non-Relativistic Decoupling Limits of String Theory and M-Theory

Neil Lambert, Joseph Smith

It has recently been realised that there are supersymmetry-preserving non-relativistic decoupling limits associated with each half-BPS object in String Theory and M-Theory. We argu…

How Quality Affects Deep Neural Networks in Fine-Grained Image Classification

Joseph Smith, Zheming Zuo, Jonathan Stonehouse +1

In this paper, we propose a No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NRIQA) guided cut-off point selection (CPS) strategy to enhance the performance of a fine-grained classification…

A Note on the Perturbative Expansion of the Schwinger Model on

Joseph Smith

The Schwinger model is perhaps the simplest non-trivial exactly-solvable QFT. In this note we examine the perturbative structure of the theory on the sphere and show that its quant…

An Augmentation-based Model Re-adaptation Framework for Robust Image Segmentation

Zheming Zuo, Joseph Smith, Jonathan Stonehouse +1

Image segmentation is a crucial task in computer vision, with wide-ranging applications in industry. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has recently attracted intensive attention; ho…

Non-Relativistic M2-Branes and the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Neil Lambert, Joseph Smith

A non-relativistic limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence is studied in the context of M2-branes. On the field theory side this corresponds to a near-BPS limit of ABJM that localises…

The M5-Brane Limit of Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity

Eric Bergshoeff, Neil Lambert, Joseph Smith

We construct the M5-brane limit of eleven-dimensional supergravity. The resulting action is invariant under Galilean boosts and has a local scale symmetry. We also consider the lim…
