Classical symmetries -- three ways -- and a precision holography check

Silvia Georgescu, Monica Guica

The deformation is a fully tractable irrelevant deformation of two-dimensional CFTs, which yields a UV-complete QFT that is local and conformal along one lightlike direct…

SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type from M-theory

Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian

We revisit 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type and their realization in M-theory, focusing on absolute variants of these theories and on their global finite 0- and 2-form symmetries. We d…

Amplitudes for Hawking Radiation

Rafael Aoude, Donal O'Connell, Matteo Sergola

We obtain the Hawking spectrum by exponentiating a series of Feynman diagrams describing a scalar field scattering through a collapse background. Our approach is rooted in semiclas…

Localized Black Holes in AdS: What Happens Below c/12 Stays Below c/12

Iosif Bena, Raphaël Dulac, Pierre Heidmann +1

We construct asymptotically AdSST black holes that are localized on the S and co-exist with the BTZ black hole at small positive energies. These black…

Gravitational lensing in a plasma from worldlines

Francesco Comberiati, Leonardo de la Cruz

We study the deflection of light rays in a cold, non-magnetized plasma using the worldline framework. Starting from Synge's Hamiltonian formalism, we construct a position-space act…

Exactly solvable conformal field theories

Sylvain Ribault

We review 2d CFT in the bootstrap approach, and sketch the known exactly solvable CFTs with no extended chiral symmetry: Liouville theory, (generalized) minimal models, limits ther…

Absorptive Effects in Black Hole Scattering

Yilber Fabian Bautista, Yu-Tin Huang, Jung-Wook Kim

In this paper we define absorptive Compton amplitudes, which captures the absorption factor for waves of spin-weight- scattering in black hole perturbation theory. At the leadin…

Finite Integrals from Feynman Polytopes

Leonardo de la Cruz, David A. Kosower, Pavel P. Novichkov

We investigate a geometric approach to determining the complete set of numerators giving rise to finite Feynman integrals. Our approach proceeds graph by graph, and makes use of th…

Einstein gravity from a matrix integral -- Part I

Shota Komatsu, Adrien Martina, João Penedones +2

We construct backreacted geometries dual to the supersymmetric mass deformation of the IKKT matrix model. They are Euclidean type IIB supergravity solutions given in terms of an el…

Solving four-dimensional superconformal Yang-Mills theories with Tracy-Widom distribution

Zoltan Bajnok, Bercel Boldis, Gregory P. Korchemsky

We study a special class of observables in and superconformal Yang-Mills theories which, for an arbitrary 't Hooft coupling constant , admit repres…

Intersection Numbers from Companion Tensor Algebra

Giacomo Brunello, Vsevolod Chestnov, Pierpaolo Mastrolia

Twisted period integrals are ubiquitous in theoretical physics and mathematics, where they inhabit a finite-dimensional vector space governed by an inner product known as the inter…

Bulk-induced D-brane deformations and the string coupling constant

Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera

We consider computing the on-shell disk action of open-closed string field theory as a gauge-invariant way of capturing the shift in D-brane tension that is induced by a deformatio…

Schwarzschild geodesics from Scattering Amplitudes to all orders in

Stavros Mougiakakos, Pierre Vanhove

The dynamics of the leading self-force (0SF) order, corresponding to the geodesic motion of a light body in the exact background of a heavy body, are explicitly derived for the fir…

Resilience of DBI screened objects and their ladder symmetries

Jose Beltrán Jiménez, Dario Bettoni, Philippe Brax

Scalar field theories with a shift symmetry come equipped with the -mouflage (or kinetic screening) mechanism that suppresses the scalar interaction between massive objects belo…

Tadpole conjecture in non-geometric backgrounds

Katrin Becker, Nathan Brady, Mariana Graña +3

Calabi-Yau compactifications have typically a large number of complex structure and/or Kähler moduli that have to be stabilised in phenomenologically-relevant vacua. The former can…

Meson modes of probe -branes in Klebanov-Strassler background

Marc Chemtob

We examine the properties of 4-d bosonic and fermionic (mesons and mesinos) modes on -branes wrapped over Kuperstein 4-cycle of the Klebanov-Strassler background. The wave equa…

Instantons in Theories: Transseries, Virial Theorems and Numerical Aspects

Ludovico T. Giorgini, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Enrico M. Malatesta +2

We discuss numerical aspects of instantons in two- and three-dimensional theories with an internal symmetry group, the so-called -vector model. Combining asymptotic…

The Parisi-Sourlas Uplift and Infinitely Many Solvable 4d CFTs

Emilio Trevisani

Parisi-Sourlas (PS) supersymmetry is known to emerge in some models with random field type of disorder. When PS SUSY is present the -dimensional theory allows for a -dimens…
