Horizons cannot save the Landscape
Iosif Bena, Alex Buchel, Oscar J. C. Dias
Solutions with anti-D3 branes in a Klebanov-Strassler geometry with positive charge dissolved in fluxes have a certain singularity corresponding to a diverging energy density of th…
Polchinski-Strassler does not uplift Klebanov-Strassler
Iosif Bena, Mariana Grana, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
Anti-D3-branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler solution with D3-charge dissolved in fluxes give rise, in the probe approximation, to a metastable state. The fully back-reacted…
Lattice W-algebras and logarithmic CFTs
A. M. Gainutdinov, H. Saleur, I. Yu. Tipunin
This paper is part of an effort to gain further understanding of 2D Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFTs) by exploring their lattice regularizations. While all work so far h…
Generalized N=1 and N=2 structures in M-theory and type II orientifolds
Mariana Graña, Hagen Triendl
We consider M-theory and type IIA reductions to four dimensions with N=2 and N=1 supersymmetry and discuss their interconnection. Our work is based on the framework of Exceptional…
Bootstrapping Conformal Field Theories with the Extremal Functional Method
Sheer El-Showk, Miguel F. Paulos
The existence of a positive linear functional acting on the space of (differences between) conformal blocks has been shown to rule out regions in the parameter space of conformal f…
Unitarity and fuzzball complementarity: "Alice fuzzes but may not even know it!"
Steven G. Avery, Borun D. Chowdhury, Andrea Puhm
We investigate the recent black hole firewall argument. For a black hole in a typical state we argue that unitarity requires every quantum of radiation leaving the black hole to ca…
On-shell recursion for massive fermion currents
Ruth Britto, Alexander Ochirov
We analyze the validity of BCFW recursion relations for currents of n - 2 gluons and two massive quarks, where one of the quarks is off shell and the remaining particles are on she…
Six-loop Konishi anomalous dimension from the Y-system
Sebastien Leurent, Didina Serban, Dmytro Volin
We compute the Konishi anomalous dimension perturbatively up to six loop using the finite set of functional equations derived recently by Gromov, Kazakov, Leurent and Volin. The re…
Non-extremal Black Hole Microstates: Fuzzballs of Fire or Fuzzballs of Fuzz ?
Iosif Bena, Andrea Puhm, Bert Vercnocke
We construct the first family of microstate geometries of near-extremal black holes, by placing metastable supertubes inside certain scaling supersymmetric smooth microstate geomet…
Kerr-AdS and its Near-horizon Geometry: Perturbations and the Kerr/CFT Correspondence
Oscar J. C. Dias, Jorge E. Santos, Maren Stein
We investigate linear perturbations of spin-s fields in the Kerr-AdS black hole and in its near-horizon geometry (NHEK-AdS), using the Teukolsky master equation and the Hertz poten…
Is Alice burning or fuzzing?
Borun D. Chowdhury, Andrea Puhm
Recently, Almheiri, Marolf, Polchinski and Sully (AMPS) have suggested a Gedankenexperiment to test black hole complementarity. They claim that the postulates of black hole complem…
Two-Loop Maximal Unitarity with External Masses
Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen
We extend the maximal unitarity method at two loops to double-box basis integrals with up to three external massive legs. We use consistency equations based on the requirement that…
One-loop four-graviton amplitudes in N=4 supergravity models
Piotr Tourkine, Pierre Vanhove
We evaluate in great detail one-loop four-graviton field theory amplitudes in pure N=4 D=4 supergravity. The expressions are obtained by taking the field theory limits of (4,0) and…
N=2 vacua in Generalized Geometry
Mariana Graña, Francesco Orsi
We find the conditions on compactifications of type IIA to four-dimensional Minkowski space to preserve N=2 supersymmetry in the language of Exceptional Generalized Geometry (EGG)…
Associative algebraic approach to logarithmic CFT in the bulk: the continuum limit of the gl(1|1) periodic spin chain, Howe duality and the interchiral algebra
A. M. Gainutdinov, N. Read, H. Saleur
We develop in this paper the principles of an associative algebraic approach to bulk logarithmic conformal field theories (LCFTs). We concentrate on the closed spin-chain…
Fractional branes, warped compactifications and backreacted orientifold planes
J. Blåbäck, B. Janssen, T. Van Riet +1
The standard extremal p-brane solutions in supergravity are known to allow for a generalisation which consists of adding a linear dependence on the world-volume coordinates to the…
Black Holes and Fourfolds
Iosif Bena, Hagen Triendl, Bert Vercnocke
We establish the relation between the structure governing supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric four- and five-dimensional black holes and multicenter solutions and Calabi-Yau flux…
Anti-D3's - Singular to the Bitter End
Iosif Bena, Mariana Grana, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the full backreaction of anti-D3 branes smeared over the tip of the deformed conifold. Requiring the 5-form flux and warp factor at the tip to be that of anti-D3 branes, w…
Heterotic flux backgrounds and their IIA duals
Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian, Stefan Theisen
We study four-dimensional heterotic flux vacua with N=2 spacetime supersymmetry. A worldsheet perspective is used to clarify quantization conditions associated to the fluxes and th…
Scaling BPS Solutions and pure-Higgs States
Iosif Bena, Micha Berkooz, Jan de Boer +2
Depending on the value of the coupling, BPS states of type II string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold can be described as multicenter supergravity solutions or as state…
Persistent anti-brane singularities
Iosif Bena, Daniel Junghans, Stanislav Kuperstein +3
Anti-D-branes inserted in warped throat geometries (supported by fluxes that carry D-brane charges) develop unphysical singularities. It has been argued that these singularities co…
Global Poles of the Two-Loop Six-Point N=4 SYM integrand
Kasper J. Larsen
Recently, a recursion relation has been developed, generating the four-dimensional integrand of the amplitudes of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory for any number of loops and l…
Duality orbits of non-geometric fluxes
G. Dibitetto, J. J. Fernandez-Melgarejo, D. Marques +1
Compactifications in duality covariant constructions such as generalised geometry and double field theory have proven to be suitable frameworks to reproduce gauged supergravities c…
Fake supersymmetry versus Hamilton-Jacobi
Mario Trigiante, Thomas Van Riet, Bert Vercnocke
We explain when the first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations for black holes (and domain walls) in (gauged) supergravity, reduce to the usual first-order equations derived from a fake…
