On AdS stability

Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandra Gnecchi +2

AdS supersymmetric solutions in type IIA have been classified, and they are infinitely many. Moreover, every such solution has a non-supersymmetric sister. In this paper, we st…

Infinite Black Hole Entropies at Infinite Distances and Tower of States

Quentin Bonnefoy, Luca Ciambelli, Dieter Lust +1

The aim of this paper is to elucidate a close connection between the black hole area law and the infinite distance conjecture in the context of the swampland. We consider families…

A general definition of -- deformed QFTs

Tarek Anous, Monica Guica

We propose a general path-integral definition of two-dimensional quantum field theories deformed by an integrable, irrelevant vector operator constructed from the components of the…

Throat destabilization (for profit and for fun)

Iosif Bena, Alex Buchel, Severin Lüst

Two recent results indicate that the addition of supersymmetry-breaking ingredients can destabilize the Klebanov-Strassler warped deformed conifold throat. The first comes from an…

Anomalies of QFTs from M-theory and Holography

Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1

We describe a systematic way of computing the 't Hooft anomalies for continuous symmetries of Quantum Field Theories in even dimensions that can be geometrically engineered from M5…

On Generalized -systems

Zoltán Bajnok, Etienne Granet, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen +1

We formulate -systems for the closed XXZ, open XXX and open quantum-group-invariant XXZ quantum spin chains. Polynomial solutions of these -systems can be found efficiently,…

On zero-remainder conditions in the Bethe ansatz

Etienne Granet, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen

We prove that physical solutions to the Heisenberg spin chain Bethe ansatz equations are exactly obtained by imposing two zero-remainder conditions. This bridges the gap between di…

Baryon as a Quantum Hall Droplet and the Cheshire Cat Principle

Yong-Liang Ma, Maciej A. Nowak, Mannque Rho +1

We show that the recent proposal to describe the baryon in the large number of color limit as a quantum Hall droplet, can be understood as a chiral bag in a 1+2 dimensional…

Exact null octagon

A. V. Belitsky, G. P. Korchemsky

We consider the so-called simplest correlation function of four infinitely heavy half-BPS operators in planar N=4 SYM in the limit when the operators are light-like separated in a…

AdS four-point functions from -BPS states

Alessandro Bombini, Andrea Galliani

We compute four-point functions in the Heavy-Heavy-Light-Light limit involving all possible -BPS heavy states whose dual supergravity solutions are explicitly known, a…

Determinant formula for the octagon form factor in =4 SYM

Ivan Kostov, Valentina B. Petkova, Didina Serban

We compute to all loop orders correlation function of four heavy BPS operators in = 4 SYM with special polarisations considered recently by Frank Coronado. Our main re…

General Supersymmetric AdS Black Holes with Squashed Boundary

Alessandro Bombini, Lorenzo Papini

We present a new family of asymptotically locally AdS squashed supersymmetric black hole solutions of Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged , supergravity with two vector m…

On correlation functions in -deformed CFTs

Monica Guica

The deformation, built from the components of the stress tensor and of a current, is a universal irrelevant deformation of two-dimensional CFTs that preserves the…

Amplitudes' Positivity, Weak Gravity Conjecture, and Modified Gravity

Brando Bellazzini, Matthew Lewandowski, Javi Serra

We derive new positivity bounds for scattering amplitudes in theories with a massless graviton in the spectrum in four spacetime dimensions, of relevance for the weak gravity conje…

Two-point correlators in non-conformal gauge theories

M. Billo, F. Fucito, G. P. Korchemsky +2

We study the two-point correlation functions of chiral/anti-chiral operators in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on with gauge group SU(N) and massless hypermul…

The two-loop five-point amplitude in supergravity

Samuel Abreu, Lance J. Dixon, Enrico Herrmann +2

We compute the symbol of the two-loop five-point amplitude in supergravity. We write an ansatz for the amplitude whose rational prefactors are based on not only 4-di…
