Abelian scalar theory at large global charge

Orestis Loukas

We elaborate on Abelian complex scalar models, which are dictated by natural actions (all couplings are of order one), at fixed and large global charge in an arbitrary numbe…

Isometries, gaugings and N=2 supergravity decoupling

Ignatios Antoniadis, Jean-Pierre Derendinger, P. Marios Petropoulos +1

We study off-shell rigid limits for the kinetic and scalar-potential terms os a single N=2 hypermultiplet. In the kinetic term, these rigid limits establish relations between four-…

String theory and the 4D/3D reduction of Seiberg duality. A Review

Antonio Amariti, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert

We review the reduction of four-dimensional N=1 Seiberg duality to three dimensions focusing on the D brane engineering approach. We start with an overview of four-dimensional Seib…

Infinity in string cosmology: A review through open problems

Ignatios Antoniadis, Spiros Cotsakis

We review recent developments in the field of string cosmology with particular emphasis on open problems having to do mainly with geometric asymptotics and singularities. We discus…

Betti multiplets, flows across dimensions and c-extremization

Antonio Amariti, Chiara Toldo

We consider 4d N=1 SCFTs, topologically twisted on compact constant curvature Riemann surfaces, giving rise to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs. The exact R-current of these 2d SCFT extremizes the…

-deformations of left-right asymmetric CFTs

George Georgiou, Konstantinos Sfetsos, Konstantinos Siampos

We compute the all-loop anomalous dimensions of current and primary field operators in deformed current algebra theories based on a general semi-simple group, but with different (l…

Compensating strong coupling with large charge

Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Orestis Loukas, Domenico Orlando +1

We study some (conformal) field theories with global symmetries in the sector where the value of the global charge is large. We find (as expected) that the low energy excitatio…

Currents in supersymmetric field theories

Jean-Pierre Derendinger

A general formalism to construct and improve supercurrents and source or anomaly superfields in two-derivative N=1 supersymmetric theories is presented. It includes arbitrary gauge…

Generalized type IIB supergravity equations and non-Abelian classical r-matrices

Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert, Jun-ichi Sakamoto +1

We study Yang-Baxter deformations of the superstring with non-Abelian classical -matrices which satisfy the homogeneous classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE).…

Gauge Coupling Field, Currents, Anomalies and N=1 Super-Yang-Mills Effective Actions

Nicola Ambrosetti, Daniel Arnold, Jean-Pierre Derendinger +1

Working with a gauge coupling field in a linear superfield, we construct effective Lagrangians for N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory fully compatible with the expected all-order behaviou…

Majorana Fermions in a Box

M. H. Al-Hashimi, A. M. Shalaby, U. -J. Wiese

Majorana fermion dynamics may arise at the edge of Kitaev wires or superconductors. Alternatively, it can be engineered by using trapped ions or ultracold atoms in an optical latti…

All-loop correlators of integrable -deformed -models

George Georgiou, Konstantinos Sfetsos, Konstantinos Siampos

We compute the 2- and 3-point functions of currents and primary fields of -deformed integrable -models characterized also by an integer . Our results apply for any semisim…

Functional renormalization group approach to the Yang-Lee edge singularity

Xin An, David Mesterházy, Mikhail A. Stephanov

We determine the scaling properties of the Yang-Lee edge singularity as described by a one-component scalar field theory with imaginary cubic coupling, using the nonperturbative fu…

Large mass hierarchies from strongly-coupled dynamics

Andreas Athenodorou, Ed Bennett, Georg Bergner +4

Besides the Higgs particle discovered in 2012, with mass 125 GeV, recent LHC data show tentative signals for new resonances in diboson as well as diphoton searches at high center-o…

Phases of N=2 Necklace Quivers

Antonio Amariti, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert

We classify the phases of N=2 elliptic models in terms of their global properties i.e. the spectrum of line operators. We show the agreement between the field theory and the M-theo…

Horizon Shells: Classical Structure at the Horizon of a Black Hole

Matthias Blau, Martin O'Loughlin

We address the question of the uniqueness of the Schwarzschild black hole by considering the following question: How many meaningful solutions of the Einstein equations exist that…

Three-Dimensional Extended Bargmann Supergravity

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel

We show that three-dimensional General Relativity, augmented with two vector fields, allows for a non-relativistic limit, different from the standard limit leading to Newtonian gra…

The causal order on the ambient boundary

Ignatios Antoniadis, Spiros Cotsakis, Kyriakos Papadopoulos

We analyse the causal structure of the ambient boundary, the conformal infinity of the ambient (Poincaré) metric. Using topological tools we show that the only causal relation comp…

Line operators from M-branes on compact Riemann surfaces

Antonio Amariti, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert

In this paper, we determine the charge lattice of mutually local Wilson and 't Hooft line operators for class S theories living on M5-branes wrapped on compact Riemann surfaces. Th…
