On the Quantum Resolution of Cosmological Singularities using AdS/CFT

Ben Craps, Thomas Hertog, Neil Turok

The AdS/CFT correspondence allows us to map a dynamical cosmology to a dual quantum field theory living on the boundary of spacetime. Specifically, we study a five-dimensional mode…

The No-Boundary Measure of the Universe

James B. Hartle, S. W. Hawking, Thomas Hertog

We consider the no-boundary proposal for homogeneous isotropic closed universes with a cosmological constant and a scalar field with a quadratic potential. In the semi-classical li…

Vacuum Bubble in an Inhomogeneous Cosmology

Willy Fischler, Chethan Krishnan, Sonia Paban +1

We study the propagation of bubbles of new vacuum in a radially inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi background that includes a cosmological constant. This exemplifies the classical…

Extended N=1 super Yang-Mills theory

Frank Ferrari

We solve a generalization of ordinary N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N) and an adjoint chiral multiplet X for which we turn on both an arbitrary tree-level superpot…

Consistency conditions in the chiral ring of super Yang-Mills theories

Frank Ferrari, Vincent Wens

Starting from the generalized Konishi anomaly equations at the non-perturbative level, we demonstrate that the algebraic consistency of the quantum chiral ring of the N=1 super Yan…

Spacelike Singularities and Hidden Symmetries of Gravity

Marc Henneaux, Daniel Persson, Philippe Spindel

We review the intimate connection between (super-)gravity close to a spacelike singularity (the "BKL-limit") and the theory of Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras. We show that in this l…
