The time-dependent Aharonov-Casher effect

Douglas Singleton, Jaryd Ulbricht

In this paper we give a covariant expression for Aharonov-Casher phase. This expression is a combination of the canonical electric field, Aharonov-Casher phase plus a magnetic fiel…

On the Pure Spinor Heterotic Superstring Ghost

Thiago Fleury

A simplified pure spinor superstring ghost in a curved heterotic background was constructed recently. The ghost is a composite operator and it is not holomorphic. However,…

Elimination and recursions in the scattering equations

Carlos Cardona, Chrysostomos Kalousios

We use the elimination theory to explicitly construct the (n-3)! order polynomial in one of the variables of the scattering equations. The answer can be given either in terms of a…

Aharonov-Bohm phase for an electromagnetic wave background

Max Bright, Douglas Singleton, Atsushi Yoshida

The canonical Aharonov-Bohm effect is usually studied with time-independent potentials. In this work, we investigate the Aharonov-Bohm phase acquired by a charged particle moving i…

Comments on the evaluation of massless scattering

Carlos Cardona, Chrysostomos Kalousios

The goal of this work is threefold. First, we give an expression of the most general five point integral on M_{0,n} in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. Second, we choose a special k…

Recursion Relations for Conformal Blocks

João Penedones, Emilio Trevisani, Masahito Yamazaki

In the context of conformal field theories in general space-time dimension, we find all the possible singularities of the conformal blocks as functions of the scaling dimension …

On membrane interactions and a three-dimensional analog of Riemann surfaces

Stefano Kovacs, Yuki Sato, Hidehiko Shimada

Membranes in M-theory are expected to interact via splitting and joining processes. We study these effects in the pp-wave matrix model, in which they are associated with transition…

OPE for all Helicity Amplitudes II. Form Factors and Data Analysis

Benjamin Basso, Joao Caetano, Lucia Cordova +2

We present the general flux tube integrand for MHV and non-MHV amplitudes, in planar N = 4 SYM theory, up to a group theoretical rational factor. We find that the MHV and non-MHV c…

Computing the Effective Action with the Functional Renormalization Group

Alessandro Codello, Roberto Percacci, Leslaw Rachwal +1

The "exact" or "functional" renormalization group equation describes the renormalization group flow of the effective average action . The ordinary effective action can b…

A renormalization group improved computation of correlation functions in theories with non-trivial phase diagram

Alessandro Codello, Alberto Tonero

We present a simple and consistent way to compute correlation functions in interacting theories with non-trivial phase diagram. As an example we show how to consistently compute th…

Signs of Analyticity in Single-Field Inflation

Daniel Baumann, Daniel Green, Hayden Lee +1

The analyticity of response functions and scattering amplitudes implies powerful relations between low-energy observables and the underlying short-distance dynamics. These 'IR/UV'…
