On the Search for Multicenter AdS Black Holes from M-theory

Ruben Monten, Chiara Toldo

We study the effective potentials for various probe branes surrounding AdS black holes with massive halos in consistent truncations of M-theory on the Sasaki-Einstein manif…

Extra Dimensions and Fuzzy Branes in String-inspired Nonlocal Field Theory

Florian Nortier

Particle physics models with extra dimensions of space (EDS's) and branes shed new light on electroweak and flavor hierarchies with a rich TeV scale phenomenology. This article hig…

IR/UV Mixing, Towers of Species and Swampland Conjectures

Alberto Castellano, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez

By applying the Covariant Entropy Bound (CEB) to an EFT in a box of size one obtains that the UV and IR cut-offs of the EFT are necessarily correlated. We argue t…

AdS holography for non-BPS geometries

Bogdan Ganchev, Stefano Giusto, Anthony Houppe +1

By using the approach introduced in arXiv:2107.09677 we construct non-BPS solutions of 6D supergravity coupled to two tensor multiplets as a perturbation of AdS$_3\times S^…

An Alliance in the Tripartite Conflict over Moduli Space

Yixuan Li

We investigate three proposals of distance on the moduli space of metrics: (1) a distance derived from the symplectic form of phase space, (2) a distance obtained by moving BPS obj…

D7 Moduli Stabilization: The Tadpole Menace

Iosif Bena, Callum Brodie, Mariana Graña

D7-brane moduli are stabilized by worldvolume fluxes, which contribute to the D3-brane tadpole. We calculate this contribution in the Type IIB limit of F-theory compactifications o…

Higgs Branches of U/SU Quivers via Brane Locking

Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +2

We solve a long standing problem on the computation of the Higgs branch of linear quivers with 8 supercharges and with both unitary and special unitary gauge nodes. T…

Automorphic Spectra and the Conformal Bootstrap

Petr Kravchuk, Dalimil Mazac, Sridip Pal

We describe a new method for constraining Laplacian spectra of hyperbolic surfaces and 2-orbifolds. The main ingredient is consistency of the spectral decomposition of integrals of…

Freezing of Gauge Symmetries in the Heterotic String on

Bernardo Fraiman, Héctor Parra de Freitas

We derive a map relating the gauge symmetry groups of heterotic strings on to other components of the moduli space with rank reduction. This generalizes the results for …

Entanglement entropy in the Ising model with topological defects

Ananda Roy, Hubert Saleur

Entanglement entropy~(EE) contains signatures of many universal properties of conformal field theories~(CFTs), especially in the presence of boundaries or defects. In particular, {…

Post-Minkowskian Radial Action from Soft Limits and Velocity Cuts

N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, L. Plante, P. Vanhove

We consider gravitational massive scalar-scalar scattering from unitarity and demonstrate how intermediate soft graviton behavior and the concept of extracting classical physics fr…

Magnetic quivers for rank 2 theories

Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Mario Martone +1

In this note we construct magnetic quivers for the known rank-2 four dimensional superconformal field theories. For every rank-1 theory one can find a unitary magne…

Disc partition function of 2d gravity from DWG matrix model

Vladimir Kazakov, Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk

We compute the sum over flat surfaces of disc topology with arbitrary number of conical singularities. To that end, we explore and generalize a specific case of the matrix model of…

Non-supersymmetric AdS and the swampland

Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Gabriele Lo Monaco +1

We discuss infinite families of non-supersymmetric AdS solutions in Type IIB string theory. They are siblings of supersymmetric solutions which are associated with 5-br…

New Superstrata from Three-Dimensional Supergravity

Bogdan Ganchev, Anthony Houppe, Nicholas P. Warner

We find a two-parameter family of {\it generalized superstrata} that emerge as smooth, supersymmetric solutions in three-dimensional gauged supergravity coupled to additional scala…

Radiated momentum in the Post-Minkowskian worldline approach via reverse unitarity

Massimiliano Maria Riva, Filippo Vernizzi

We compute the four-momentum radiated during the scattering of two spinless bodies, at leading order in the Newton's contant and at all orders in the velocities, using the Effe…

On Strongly Coupled Matrix Theory and Stochastic Quantization: A New Approach to Holographic Dualities

Nick Heller, Vatche Sahakian

Stochastic quantization provides an alternate approach to the computation of quantum observables, by stochastically sampling phase space in a path integral. Furthermore, the stocha…

On the quantisation and anomalies of antisymmetric tensor-spinors

Victor Lekeu, Yi Zhang

We perform the quantisation of antisymmetric tensor-spinors (fermionic -forms) using the Batalin-Vilkovisky field-antifield formalism. Just as for the grav…

Mirror channel eigenvectors of the -dimensional fishnets

Sergey Derkachov, Gwenaël Ferrando, Enrico Olivucci

We present a basis of eigenvectors for the graph building operators acting along the mirror channel of planar fishnet Feynman integrals in -dimensions. The eigenvectors of a fis…

Extracting Einstein from the Loop-Level Double-Copy

John Joseph M. Carrasco, Ingrid A. Vazquez-Holm

The naive double-copy of (multi) loop amplitudes involving massive matter coupled to gauge theories will generically produce amplitudes in a gravitational theory that contains addi…

Remodeling the Effective One-Body Formalism in Post-Minkowskian Gravity

Poul H. Damgaard, Pierre Vanhove

The Effective One-Body formalism of the gravitational two-body problem in general relativity is reconsidered in the light of recent scattering amplitude calculations. Based on the…

Gravitational Causality and the Self-Stress of Photons

Brando Bellazzini, Giulia Isabella, Matthew Lewandowski +1

We study causality in gravitational systems beyond the classical limit. Using on-shell methods, we consider the one-loop corrections from charged particles to the photon energy-mom…

The Dual of a Tidal Force in the D1D5 CFT

Bin Guo, Shaun Hampton

It was demonstrated that a string probe falling radially within a superstratum geometry would experience tidal forces. These tidal forces were shown to excite the string by convert…
