On the Virasoro Crossing Kernels at Rational Central Charge

Julien Roussillon, Ioannis Tsiares

We report novel analytic results for the Virasoro modular and fusion kernels relevant to 2d conformal field theories (CFTs), 3d topological field theories (TQFTs), and the represen…

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/

Raphaël Dulac, Zixia Wei

Elliptic de Sitter (dS) spacetime dS is a non-time-orientable spacetime obtained by imposing an antipodal identification to global dS. Unlike QFT on global dS, whose…

Locality constraints in AdS without parity

Manuel Loparco, Grégoire Mathys, João Penedones +2

We study bulk locality constraints in quantum field theories in AdS. The known derivation of locality sum rules in AdS does not apply for due to the different sin…

Gravitational waveforms from restriction theory and rapid-decay homology

Giacomo Brunello, Vsevolod Chestnov, Giulio Crisanti +2

We present a systematic framework for computing frequency-domain gravitational waveforms from relativistic binary scattering in different asymptotic regimes. The method yields a co…

Special Kähler geometries of superYang-Mills

Philip C. Argyres, Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger +2

The low energy effective theory on the moduli space of vacua of 4d superYang-Mills (sYM) theory defines a special Kähler geometry. For simple sYM gauge algebras, , we…

Lattice path combinatorics in superconformal Yang-Mills theories

G. P. Korchemsky

We study a class of observables in four-dimensional superconformal Yang--Mills theories which, in the planar limit at finite 't Hooft coupling, can be expressed as determinants of…

Effective Microstructure

Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Emil J. Martinec +3

In AdS/CFT duality, there are large families of smooth, horizonless microstate geometries that correspond to heavy pure states of the dual CFT. The metric and fluxes are co…

Finite actions and asymptotic charges at null infinity for any spin

Andrea Campoleoni, Arnaud Delfante, Dario Francia +1

We identify boundary terms renormalizing the free on-shell actions for massless fields of arbitrary spin, including electromagnetism and linearized gravity, with boundary condition…

Gauge-invariant action for free string field theory with boundary

Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera

We construct fully gauge-invariant kinetic terms for open and closed string field theories on a target space with boundary. This is realized by promoting the gauge parameters at th…

The Special Locus

Tobi Ramella, Nicholas P. Warner

The special locus plays an important role in the construction of the non-BPS microstate geometries known as microstrata. These supergravity solutions are dual to combinations of le…

Holographic duality from Howe duality: Chern-Simons gravity as an ensemble of code CFTs

Anatoly Dymarsky, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak

We discuss the holographic correspondence between 3d "Chern-Simons gravity" and an ensemble of 2d Narain code CFTs. Starting from 3d abelian Chern-Simons theory, we construct an en…

Global variants of theories and Calogero-Moser systems

Jeremías Aguilera Damia, Riccardo Argurio, Antoine Bourget +2

Global variants of four-dimensional gauge theories are specified by their spectrum of genuine Wilson-'t Hooft line operators. The choice of global variant has significant consequen…

Fusion rules and structure constants of E-series minimal models

Rongvoram Nivesvivat, Sylvain Ribault

In the ADE classification of Virasoro minimal models, the E-series is the sparsest: their central charges are not dense in the half-line $c\in (-\infty,1)…
