Anisotropic Schrödinger black holes with hyperscaling-violation

Alfredo Herrera-Aguilar, Jhony A. Herrera-Mendoza, Daniel F. Higuita-Borja +2

We investigate novel exact solutions to an Einstein-Maxwell theory non-minimally coupled to a self-interacting dilaton-like scalar. Extending the results of arXiv: 2012.13412 and 2…

Maximal transcendental weight contribution of scattering amplitudes

Johannes M. Henn, William J. Torres Bobadilla

Feynman integrals in quantum field theory evaluate to special functions and numbers that are usefully described by the notion of transcendental weight. In this paper, we propose a…

Nonperturbative Negative Geometries: Amplitudes at Strong Coupling and the Amplituhedron

Nima Arkani-Hamed, Johannes Henn, Jaroslav Trnka

The amplituhedron determines scattering amplitudes in planar super Yang-Mills by a single "positive geometry" in the space of kinematic and loop variables. We study a…

An Operator Product Expansion for Form Factors III. Finite Coupling and Multi-Particle Contributions

Amit Sever, Alexander G. Tumanov, Matthias Wilhelm

Form factors in planar super-Yang-Mills theory have a dual description in terms of periodic Wilson loops. This duality maps the multi-collinear expansion of the for…

Vortices in Black Holes

Gia Dvali, Florian Kuhnel, Michael Zantedeschi

We argue that black holes admit vortex structure. This is based both on a graviton-condensate description of a black hole as well as on a correspondence between black holes and gen…

Open-Closed Correspondence of K-theory and Cobordism

Ralph Blumenhagen, Niccolò Cribiori

Non-trivial K-theory groups and non-trivial cobordism groups can lead to global symmetries which are conjectured to be absent in quantum gravity. Inspired by open-closed string dua…

Yangian Ward Identities for Fishnet Four-Point Integrals

Luke Corcoran, Florian Loebbert, Julian Miczajka

We derive and study Yangian Ward identities for the infinite class of four-point ladder integrals and their Basso-Dixon generalisations. These symmetry equations follow from interp…

How Special Are Black Holes? Correspondence with saturons in generic theories

Gia Dvali, Oleg Kaikov, Juan Sebastián Valbuena Bermúdez

Black holes are considered to be exceptional due to their time evolution and information processing. However, it was proposed recently that these properties are generic for objects…

Black-Hole-Like Saturons in Gross-Neveu

Gia Dvali, Otari Sakhelashvili

It has been argued recently that objects of maximal microstate entropy permitted by unitarity, the so-called saturons, have properties similar to black holes. We demonstrate the ex…

De Sitter space as BRST invariant coherent state of gravitons

Lasha Berezhiani, Gia Dvali, Otari Sakhelashvili

The -matrix formulation indicates that a consistent embedding of de Sitter state in quantum gravity is possible exclusively as an excited quantum state constructed on top of a v…

Seiberg-Witten maps and scattering amplitudes of NCQED

Josip Trampetić, Jiangyang You

The connection between tree-level scattering amplitudes and the Seiberg-Witten (SW) map in the Moyal deformed U(1) noncommutataive quantum electrodynamics (NCQED) is studied. We sh…

Analytical computation of quantum corrections to non-topological soliton (bright soliton) within the saddle-point approximation

Andrei Kovtun

Schrödinger field theory with an attractive self-interaction possess non-topological extended solutions with a finite energy in both finite and infinite-volume cases, namely, brigh…

On dual formulation of Axion solution to strong-CP problem

Otari Sakhelashvili

An exact duality between axion with arbitrary potential and antisymmetric form-field has been derived some time ago. Using this duality, the axion solution to strong-CP problem has…

Modular invariance, misalignment and finiteness in non-supersymmetric strings

Niccolò Cribiori, Susha Parameswaran, Flavio Tonioni +1

In this article we show that finite perturbative corrections in non-supersymmetric strings can be understood via an interplay between modular invariance and misaligned supersymmetr…

Heptagon Functions and Seven-Gluon Amplitudes in Multi-Regge Kinematics

Lance J. Dixon, Yu-Ting Liu, Julian Miczajka

We compute all gluon scattering amplitudes in planar super-Yang-Mills theory in the multi-Regge limit that is sensitive to the non-trivial ("long") Regge cu…
