Nonabelian ferromagnets with three-body interactions
Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstantinos Sfetsos
We study the thermodynamics of nonabelian ferromagnets consisting of atoms in the fundamental representation of and interacting with two-body and three-body interactions. U…
A gauge-invariant measure for gauge fields on
Antonina Maj
We consider four-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theory living on a complex projective space as a way of gaining insights into (3+1)-dimensional QCD. In particular, w…
Phase transitions in the decomposition of representations
Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstantinos Sfetsos
We study the multiplicity of irreducible representations in the decomposition of fundamentals of weighted by a power of their dimension in the large and large d…
Mass Deformations of Brane Brick Models
Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Georgios P. Goulas +1
We investigate a class of mass deformations that connect pairs of 2d (0,2) gauge theories associated to different toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. These deformations are generalizations t…
Composing arbitrarily many fundamentals
Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstantinos Sfetsos
We compute the multiplicity of the irreducible representations in the decomposition of the tensor product of an arbitrary number of fundamental representations of , and…
Quantization of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with a massless scalar
Dongsu Bak, Chanju Kim, Sang-Heon Yi
We study canonical quantization of Jackiw-Teibelboim (JT) gravity coupled to a massless scalar field. We provide concrete expressions of matter SL(2,{\,\bf R}) charges and the boun…
Twin Theories, Polytope Mutations and Quivers for GTPs
Sebastián Franco, Rak-Kyeong Seong
We propose a unified perspective on two sets of objects that usually arise in the study of bipartite field theories. Each of the sets consists of a polytope, or equivalently a tori…
Brane Brick Models for the Sasaki-Einstein 7-Manifolds Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2)
Sebastian Franco, Dongwook Ghim, Rak-Kyeong Seong
The 2d (0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories corresponding to the classes of Y^{p,k}(CP^1 x CP^1) and Y^{p,k}(CP^2) manifolds are identified. The complex cones over these Sasaki-Eins…
Superluminal anisotropic propagation and wavefront splitting on tilted and boosted braneworlds
Alexios P. Polychronakos
Braneworlds winding and spinning around an extra compact dimension manifest superluminal propagation for fields penetrating the bulk. This propagation is either irreducibly anisotr…
The Octagon at large M
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
Recently, the first instance of a model of D-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua has been proposed. This construction was…
Fractional topological charge in gauge theories without dynamical quarks
V. P. Nair, Robert D. Pisarski
In gauge theories without dynamical quarks, we discuss how configurations with fractional topological charge, , can arise in the vacuum and dominate in the confin…
Gauge and Scalar Fields on : A Gauge-invariant Analysis II. The measure for gauge fields and a 4d WZW theory
Dimitra Karabali, Antonina Maj, V. P. Nair
We consider the volume of the gauge orbit space for gauge fields on four-dimensional complex projective space. The analysis uses a parametrization of gauge fields where gauge trans…
Fano 3-Folds, Reflexive Polytopes and Brane Brick Models
Sebastian Franco, Rak-Kyeong Seong
Reflexive polytopes in n dimensions have attracted much attention both in mathematics and theoretical physics due to their connection to Fano n-folds and mirror symmetry. This work…
Quivers, Lattice Gauge Theories and Fractons
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
We argue that quiver gauge theories with gauge groups give rise to lattice gauge theories with matter possessing fractonic properties, where the lattice is the quiver itsel…
Spin(7) Orientifolds and 2d Triality
Sebastián Franco, Alessandro Mininno, Ángel M. Uranga +1
We present a new, geometric perspective on the recently proposed triality of 2d gauge theories, based on its engineering in terms of D1-branes probing Spin(7) o…
Superselection, Boundary Algebras and Duality in Gauge Theories
A. P. Balachandran, V. P. Nair, A. Pinzul +2
We consider the generators of gauge transformations with test functions which do not vanish on the boundary of a spacelike region of interest. These are known to generate the edge…
2d Gauge Theories and Spin(7) Orientifolds
Sebastián Franco, Alessandro Mininno, Ángel M. Uranga +1
We initiate the geometric engineering of 2d gauge theories on D1-branes probing singularities. To do so, we introduce a new class of backgrounds obtained as quo…
Gauge and Scalar Fields on : A Gauge-invariant Analysis I. The effective action from chiral scalars
Dimitra Karabali, Antonina Maj, V. P. Nair
A parametrization of gauge fields on complex projective spaces of arbitrary dimension is given as a generalization of the two-dimensional case. Gauge transformations act homogeneou…
BFT: a General Class of Theories, 3-Manifolds and Toric Geometry
Sebastián Franco, Xingyang Yu
We introduce and initiate the study of a general class of quiver gauge theories, defined in terms of certain 2-dimensional CW complexes on oriented 3-manif…
Dimers, Orientifolds and Anomalies
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
We study gauge theories engineered via D-branes at orientifolds of toric singularities, where gauge anomalies are cancelled without the introduction of non-com…
Matter-gravity coupling for fuzzy geometry and the Landau-Hall problem
V. P. Nair
We consider a set of physical degrees of freedom coupled to a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, which may be taken as modeling a fuzzy space or as the lowest Landau level of a Land…
Topological Terms and Diffeomorphism Anomalies in Fluid Dynamics and Sigma Models
V. P. Nair
The requirement of diffeomorphism symmetry for the target space can lead to anomalous commutators for the energy-momentum tensor for sigma models and for fluid dynamics, if certain…
Dimers, Orientifolds and Stability of Supersymmetry Breaking Vacua
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
We study (orientifolded) toric Calabi-Yau singularities in search for D-brane configurations which lead to dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy. By exploiting dimer techn…
Exchange interactions, Yang-Baxter relations and transparent particles
Alexios P. Polychronakos
We introduce a class of particle models in one dimension involving exchange interactions that have scattering properties satisfying the Yang-Baxter consistency condition. A subclas…
