New AdS near-horizons in Type IIB

Federico Faedo, Yolanda Lozano, Nicolò Petri

We construct new families of backgrounds fibred over a 2d Riemann surface in Type IIB string theory. The…

Quantization and soliton-like solutions for the -model in a optic fiber

Francesco Belgiorno, Sergio Luigi Cacciatori, Simone Trevisan +1

In the framework of a mesoscopical model for dielectric media we provide an analytical description for the electromagnetic field confined in a cylindrical cavity containing a finit…

Self-Dual Forms in Supergeometry I: The Chiral Boson

C. A. Cremonini, P. A. Grassi

Recent results of A. Sen on quantum field theory models with self-dual field strengths use string field theory as a starting point. In the present work, we show that combining stri…

Heating up an environment around black holes and inside de Sitter space

E. T. Akhmedov, P. A. Anempodistov, K. V. Bazarov +2

We study quantum fields on spacetimes having a bifurcate Killing horizon by allowing the possibility that left- and right- (in-going and out-going) modes have different temperature…

Schrödinger connection with selfdual nonmetricity vector in 2+1 dimensions

Silke Klemm, Lucrezia Ravera

We present a three-dimensional metric affine theory of gravity whose field equations lead to a connection introduced by Schrödinger many decades ago. Although involving nonmetricit…

Dualities for three-dimensional chiral adjoint SQCD

Antonio Amariti, Marco Fazzi

We study dualities for 3d SQCD at Chern-Simons level in presence of an adjoint with polynomial superpotential. The dualities are dubbed chiral becau…

An action principle for the Einstein-Weyl equations

Silke Klemm, Lucrezia Ravera

A longstanding open problem in mathematical physics has been that of finding an action principle for the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equations. In this paper, we present for the first time…

Surface Operators in Superspace

Carlo Alberto Cremonini, Pietro Antonio Grassi, Silvia Penati

We generalize the geometrical formulation of Wilson loops recently introduced in arXiv:2003.01729v2 to the description of Wilson Surfaces. For N=(2,0) theory in six dimensions, we…

Analytic SU(N) Skyrmions at finite Baryon density

Pedro D. Alvarez, Sergio L. Cacciatori, Fabrizio Canfora +1

We construct analytic (3+1)-dimensional Skyrmions living at finite Baryon density in the SU(N) Skyrme model that are not trivial embeddings of SU(2) into SU(N). We used Euler angle…

Quantum fields in the static de Sitter universe

E. T. Akhmedov, K. V. Bazarov, D. V. Diakonov +1

We construct explicit mode expansions of various tree-level propagators in the Rindler -- de Sitter universe, also known as the static (or compact) patch of the de Sitter spacetime…

On Forms, Cohomology, and BV Laplacians in Odd Symplectic Geometry

R. Catenacci, C. A. Cremonini, P. A. Grassi +1

We study the cohomology of the complexes of differential, integral and pseudo forms on odd symplectic manifolds taking the wedge product with the symplectic form as differential. W…

A note on 4d N = 3 from little string theory

Antonio Amariti, Gianmarco Formigoni

We study little string theory (LST) compactified on , partially breaking supersymmetry by a discrete T-duality twist acting on both the Kähler and the complex structu…

Supersymmetric Wilson Loops via Integral Forms

C. A. Cremonini, P. A. Grassi, S. Penati

We study supersymmetric Wilson loops from a geometrical perspective. To this end, we propose a new formulation of these operators in terms of an integral form associated to the imm…

Chern-Simons Supergravity on Supergroup Manifolds

L. Castellani, C. A. Cremonini, P. A. Grassi

We construct N=1 d=3 AdS supergravity within the group manifold approach and compare it with Achucarro-Townsend Chern-Simons formulation of the same theory. We clarify the relation…

Super throats with non trivial scalars

Davide Astesiano, Sergio Luigi Cacciatori

We find new BPS solutions in Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged supergravity with STU prepotential. These are stationary solutions carrying a Kerr-Newman throat spacetime geometry…

General Prescription for Global U(1)'s in 6D SCFTs

Fabio Apruzzi, Marco Fazzi, Jonathan J. Heckman +2

We present a general prescription for determining the global U(1) symmetries of six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs). We use the quiver-like gauge theory descri…
