Gravitational collapse in SYK models and Choptuik-like phenomenon

Avinash Dhar, Adwait Gaikwad, Lata Kh Joshi +2

SYK model is a quantum mechanical model of fermions which is solvable at strong coupling and plays an important role as perhaps the simplest holographic model of quantum gravity an…

Maximal Chaos from Strings, Branes and Schwarzian Action

Avik Banerjee, Arnab Kundu, Rohan Poojary

In this article, we explicitly demonstrate that, for a sufficiently generic class of examples, an open string embedded in an AdS-background yields an effective Schwarzian action an…

Entanglement Entropy, Relative Entropy and Duality

Upamanyu Moitra, Ronak M Soni, Sandip P. Trivedi

A definition for the entanglement entropy in both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories has been given in the literature, based on an extended Hilbert space construction. The resu…

Stokes Polytopes : The positive geometry for interactions

Pinaki Banerjee, Alok Laddha, Prashanth Raman

In a remarkable recent work [arXiv : 1711.09102] by Arkani-Hamed et al, the amplituhedron program was extended to the realm of non-supersymmetric scattering amplitudes. In particul…

Spectral Representation of Thermal OTO Correlators

Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, Chandramouli Chowdhury, R. Loganayagam

We study the spectral representation of finite temperature, out of time ordered (OTO) correlators on the multi-time-fold generalised Schwinger-Keldysh contour. We write the contour…

The full space of BPS multicenter states with pure D-brane charges

Pierre Heidmann, Swapnamay Mondal

We investigate the space of BPS states in type IIA string theory on a T wrapped by one D6 brane and three D2 branes wrapping three disjoint 2-tori. This system of branes has 12…

Bounds on Slow Roll at the Boundary of the Landscape

Sumit K. Garg, Chethan Krishnan, M. Zaid Zaz

We present strong evidence that the tree level slow roll bounds of arXiv:1807.05193 and arXiv:1810.05506 are valid, even when the tachyon has overlap with the volume of the cycle w…

Aspects of Hecke Symmetry: Anomalies, Curves, and Chazy Equations

Sujay K. Ashok, Dileep P. Jatkar, Madhusudhan Raman

We study various relations governing quasi-automorphic forms associated to discrete subgroups of called Hecke groups. We show that the Eisenstein series a…

Scalar Asymptotic Charges and Dual Large Gauge Transformations

Miguel Campiglia, Laurent Freidel, Florian Hopfmüller +1

In recent years soft factorization theorems in scattering amplitudes have been reinterpreted as conservation laws of asymptotic charges. In gauge, gravity, and higher spin theories…

Strings, Branes, Schwarzian Action and Maximal Chaos

Avik Banerjee, Arnab Kundu, Rohan R. Poojary

In this article, we present explicit evidence that maximal chaos occurs for a generic, probe quark-like defect degrees of freedom, in a strongly coupled large gauge theory. I…

A Toy Model of the Information Paradox in Empty Space

Suvrat Raju

A sharp version of the information paradox involves a seeming violation of the monogamy of entanglement during black hole evaporation. We construct an analogous paradox in empty an…

On Rigidity of 3d Asymptotic Symmetry Algebras

A. Farahmand Parsa, H. R. Safari, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari

We study rigidity and stability of infinite dimensional algebras which are not subject to the Hochschild-Serre factorization theorem. In particular, we consider algebras appearing…

A comment on effective field theories of flux vacua

Shamit Kachru, Sandip Trivedi

We discuss some basic aspects of effective field theory applied to supergravity theories which arise in the low-energy limit of string theory. Our discussion is particularly releva…

Flows, Fixed Points and Duality in Chern-Simons-matter theories

Ofer Aharony, Sachin Jain, Shiraz Minwalla

It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. The la…

Extremal and Near-Extremal Black Holes and Near-

Upamanyu Moitra, Sandip P. Trivedi, V. Vishal

We study the behaviour of extremal and near-extremal black holes at low energies and low temperatures and find that it can be understood from the near-horizon region. Our a…

Duality and an exact Landau-Ginzburg potential for quasi-bosonic Chern-Simons-Matter theories

Anshuman Dey, Indranil Halder, Sachin Jain +3

It has been conjectured that Chern-Simons (CS) gauged `regular' bosons in the fundamental representation are `level-rank' dual to CS gauged critical fermions also in the fundamenta…

Probing Out-of-Time-Order Correlators

Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, R. Loganayagam

We present a method to probe the Out-of-Time-Order Correlators (OTOCs) of a general system by coupling it to a harmonic oscillator probe. When the system's degrees of freedom are t…

The large D Membrane Paradigm For Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
