2d orbifolds with exotic supersymmetry

Ioannis Florakis, Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Dieter Lust +1

We analyse various two dimensional theories arising from compactification of type II and heterotic string theory on asymmetric orbifolds. We find extra supersymmetry generators ari…

Area Law Micro-State Entropy from Criticality and Spherical Symmetry

Gia Dvali

It is often assumed that the area law of micro-state entropy and the holography are intrinsic properties exclusively of the gravitational systems, such as black holes. We construct…

T-duality transformations for the NS5-brane along angular directions

Erik Plauschinn, Valentí Vall Camell

In this note we study T-duality transformations for the NS5-brane and its orbifolds along angular directions. We identify a geometric charge for these configurations and show that…

Infrared Divergences and Quantum Coherence

Cesar Gomez, Raoul Letschka, Sebastian Zell

In theories with long-range forces like QED or perturbative gravity, only rates that include emitted soft radiation are non-vanishing. Independently of detector resolution, finite…

SV-map between Type I and Heterotic Sigma Models

Wei Fan, A. Fotopoulos, S. Stieberger +1

The scattering amplitudes of gauge bosons in heterotic and open superstring theories are related by the single-valued projection which yields heterotic amplitudes by selecting a su…

Quantum noncommutative ABJM theory: first steps

Carmelo P. Martin, Josip Trampetic, Jiangyang You

We introduce ABJM quantum field theory in the noncommutative spacetime by using the component formalism and show that it is N=6 supersymmetric. For the U(1)_κ x U(1)_{-κ} case, we…

UV/IR Mixing in Nonassociative Snyder phi^4 Theory

Stjepan Meljanac, Salvatore Mignemi, Josip Trampetic +1

Using a quantization of the nonassociative and noncommutative Snyder phi^4 scalar field theory in a Hermitian realization, we present in this article analytical formulas for the mo…

Supertranslations and Holography near the Horizon of Schwarzschild Black Holes

Dieter Lust

In this paper we review and discuss several aspects of supertranslations and their associated algebras at the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. We will compare two different a…

Time dependence of entanglement for steady state formation in AdS/CFT

Mario Flory, Johanna Erdmenger, Daniel Fernandez +3

We consider a holographic model of two 1+1-dimensional heat baths at different temperatures joined at time , such that a steady state heat-current region forms and expands in…

Locally non-geometric fluxes and missing momenta in M-theory

Dieter Lust, Emanuel Malek, Marc Syvari

We use exceptional field theory to describe locally non-geometric spaces of M-theory of more than three dimensions. For these spaces, we find a new set of locally non-geometric flu…

Scalar Fields, Hierarchical UV/IR Mixing and The Weak Gravity Conjecture

Dieter Lust, Eran Palti

The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) bounds the mass of a particle by its charge. It is expected that this bound can not be below the ultraviolet cut-off scale of the effective theory…

Non-local observables at finite temperature in AdS/CFT

Johanna Erdmenger, Nina Miekley

Within gauge/gravity duality, we consider the AdS-Schwarzschild metric in arbitrary dimensions. We obtain analytical closed-form results for the two-point function, Wilson loop and…

Oscillons from String Moduli

Stefan Antusch, Francesco Cefala, Sven Krippendorf +3

A generic feature of string compactifications is the presence of many scalar fields, called moduli. Moduli are usually displaced from their post-inflationary minimum during inflati…

four dimensional field theories

Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Diego Regalado

We briefly review a class of four dimensional field theories constructed by taking a quotient of SYM with gauge group . The quotient involves a…

Unwinding strings in semi-flatland

Dieter Lust, Erik Plauschinn, Valentí Vall Camell

We study the dynamics of strings with non-zero winding number around T-duality defects. We deduce that the physics near the core of such non-geometric objects involves winding mode…

Black Hole Evaporation, Quantum Hair and Supertranslations

Cesar Gomez, Sebastian Zell

In a black hole, hair and quantum information retrieval are interrelated phenomena. The existence of any new form of hair necessarily implies the existence of features in the quant…

Non-linear Realizations and Higher Curvature Supergravity

F. Farakos, S. Ferrara, A. Kehagias +1

We focus on non-linear realizations of local supersymmetry as obtained by using constrained superfields in supergravity. New constraints, beyond those of rigid supersymmetry, are o…

Global Orientifolded Quivers with Inflation

Constraining Neutrino Masses, the Cosmological Constant and BSM Physics from the Weak Gravity Conjecture

Luis E. Ibanez, Victor Martin-Lozano, Irene Valenzuela

It is known that there are AdS vacua obtained from compactifying the SM to 2 or 3 dimensions. The existence of such vacua depends on the value of neutrino masses through the Casimi…
