Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter IV.4: Integrability in QCD and N<4 SYM

G. P. Korchemsky

There is a growing amount of evidence that QCD (and four-dimensional gauge theories in general) possess a hidden symmetry which does not exhibit itself as a symmetry of classical L…

Loop amplitudes in gauge theories: modern analytic approaches

Ruth Britto

This article reviews on-shell methods for analytic computation of loop amplitudes, emphasizing techniques based on unitarity cuts. Unitarity techniques are formulated generally but…

Chronology protection and the stringy exclusion principle

Joris Raeymaekers, Dieter Van den Bleeken, Bert Vercnocke

We construct a family of supersymmetric solutions to AdS supergravity in three dimensions, that correspond to type IIB seven branes wrapped on an internal S3xT4. These solutions ar…

On The Inflaton Potential From Antibranes in Warped Throats

Iosif Bena, Gregory Giecold, Mariana Graña +1

We compute the force between a stack of smeared antibranes at the bottom of a warped throat and a stack of smeared branes at some distance up the throat, both for anti-D3 branes an…

Single Cut Integration

Ruth Britto, Edoardo Mirabella

We present an analytic technique for evaluating single cuts for one-loop integrands, where exactly one propagator is taken to be on shell. Our method extends the double-cut integra…

The Backreaction of Anti-M2 Branes on a Warped Stenzel Space

Iosif Bena, Gregory Giecold, Nick Halmagyi

We find the superpotential governing the supersymmetric warped M-theory solution with a transverse Stenzel space found by Cvetic, Gibbons, Lu and Pope in hep-th/0012011, and use th…

Wall-Crossing from Boltzmann Black Hole Halos

Jan Manschot, Boris Pioline, Ashoke Sen

A key question in the study of N=2 supersymmetric string or field theories is to understand the decay of BPS bound states across walls of marginal stability in the space of paramet…

The Momentum Kernel of Gauge and Gravity Theories

N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, Poul H. Damgaard, Thomas Sondergaard +1

We derive an explicit formula for factorizing an -point closed string amplitude into open string amplitudes. Our results are phrased in terms of a momentum kernel which in the l…

Generalized Geometry and Partial Supersymmetry Breaking

Hagen Triendl

This review article consists of two parts. In the first part we use the formalism of (exceptional) generalized geometry to derive the scalar field space of SU(2)xSU(2)-structure co…

Counting charged massless states in the (0,2) heterotic CFT/geometry connection

Matteo Beccaria, Maximilian Kreuzer, Andrea Puhm

We use simple current techniques and their relation to orbifolds with discrete torsion for studying the (0,2) CFT/geometry duality with non-rational internal N=2 SCFTs. Explicit fo…

Microscopic Realization of the Kerr/CFT Correspondence

Monica Guica, Andrew Strominger

Supersymmetric M/string compactifications to five dimensions contain BPS black string solutions with magnetic graviphoton charge P and near-horizon geometries which are quotients o…

The Six-Point NMHV amplitude in Maximally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

D. A. Kosower, R. Roiban, C. Vergu

We present an integral representation for the parity-even part of the two-loop six-point planar NMHV amplitude in terms of Feynman integrals which have simple transformation proper…

More on the duality correlators/amplitudes

Burkhard Eden, Gregory P. Korchemsky, Emery Sokatchev

We continue the study of n-point correlation functions of half-BPS protected operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, in the limit where the positions of the adjacent operators be…

Towards a Basis for Planar Two-Loop Integrals

Janusz Gluza, Krzysztof Kajda, David A. Kosower

The existence of a finite basis of algebraically independent one-loop integrals has underpinned important developments in the computation of one-loop amplitudes in field theories a…

The Complete Four-Loop Four-Point Amplitude in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills Theory

Z. Bern, J. J. M. Carrasco, L. J. Dixon +2

We present the complete four-loop four-point amplitude in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, for a general gauge group and general D-dimensional covariant kinematics, and including all n…

Supersymmetric Consistent Truncations of IIB on T(1,1)

Iosif Bena, Gregory Giecold, Mariana Graña +2

We study consistent Kaluza-Klein reductions of type IIB supergravity on T(1,1) down to five-dimensions. We find that the most general reduction containing singlets under the global…

U-dual fluxes and Generalized Geometry

G. Aldazabal, E. Andres, P. G. Camara +1

We perform a systematic analysis of generic string flux compactifications, making use of Exceptional Generalized Geometry (EGG) as an organizing principle. In particular, we establ…

From correlation functions to scattering amplitudes

Burkhard Eden, Gregory P. Korchemsky, Emery Sokatchev

We study the correlators of half-BPS protected operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, in the limit where the positions of the adjacent operators become light-like separated. We…

From correlation functions to Wilson loops

Luis F. Alday, Burkhard Eden, Gregory P. Korchemsky +2

We start with an n-point correlation function in a conformal gauge theory. We show that a special limit produces a polygonal Wilson loop with sides. The limit takes the poi…

An Infinite-Dimensional Family of Black-Hole Microstate Geometries

Iosif Bena, Nikolay Bobev, Stefano Giusto +2

We construct the first explicit, smooth, horizonless black-hole microstate geometry whose moduli space is described by an arbitrary function of one variable and is thus infinite-di…

Supergravity Instabilities of Non-Supersymmetric Quantum Critical Points
