Semiclassical and quantum Liouville theory

Pietro Menotti

We develop a functional integral approach to quantum Liouville field theory completely independent of the hamiltonian approach. To this end on the sphere topology we solve the Riem…

Bosonization and Vertex Algebras with Defects

Mihail Mintchev, Paul Sorba

The method of bosonization is extended to the case when a dissipationless point-like defect is present in space-time. Introducing the chiral components of a massless scalar field,…

Nonabelian Confinement near Nontrivial Conformal Vacua

Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini, Naoto Yokoi

We discuss some aspects of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking in the so-called nonabelian Argyres-Douglas vacua, which occur very generally in supersymmetric theories. The…

Dimensionally continued infinite reduction of couplings

Damiano Anselmi, Milenko Halat

The infinite reduction of couplings is a tool to consistently renormalize a wide class of non-renormalizable theories with a reduced, eventually finite, set of independent coupling…

Quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere with heavy charges

Pietro Menotti, Erik Tonni

We develop a perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere around the background generated by heavy charges. Explicit results are presented for the one and…

Domain Walls and Flux Tubes

Stefano Bolognesi

We present a new vortex solution made of a domain wall compactified into a cylinder and stabilized by the magnetic flux within. When the thickness of the wall is much less than the…

Stable vs Unstable Vortices in SQCD

Stefano Bolognesi, Jarah Evslin

We give a topological classification of stable and unconfined massive particles and strings (and some instantons) in worldvolume theories of M5-branes and their dimensional reducti…

From Sasaki-Einstein spaces to quivers via BPS geodesics: Lpqr

Sergio Benvenuti, Martin Kruczenski

The AdS/CFT correspondence between Sasaki-Einstein spaces and quiver gauge theories is studied from the perspective of massless BPS geodesics. The recently constructed toric Lpqr g…

Semiclassical strings in Sasaki-Einstein manifolds and long operators in N=1 gauge theories

Sergio Benvenuti, Martin Kruczenski

We study the AdS/CFT relation between an infinite class of 5-d Ypq Sasaki-Einstein metrics and the corresponding quiver theories. The long BPS operators of the field theories are m…

Light Nonabelian Monopoles and Generalized r-Vacua in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Giacomo Marmorini

We study a class of N=1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories and find that there exist vacua in which the low-energy magnetic effective gauge group contains multiple nonabelian facto…

Infinite reduction of couplings in non-renormalizable quantum field theory

Damiano Anselmi

I study the problem of renormalizing a non-renormalizable theory with a reduced, eventually finite, set of independent couplings. The idea is to look for special relations that exp…

Quantum Field Theories and Critical Phenomena on Defects

Davide Fichera, Mihail Mintchev, Ettore Vicari

We construct and investigate quantum fields induced on a d-dimensional dissipationless defect by bulk fields propagating in a (d+1)-dimensional space. All interactions are localize…

Renormalization of a class of non-renormalizable theories

Damiano Anselmi

Certain power-counting non-renormalizable theories, including the most general self-interacting scalar fields in four and three dimensions and fermions in two dimensions, have a si…

Conformal Manifolds for the Conifold and other Toric Field Theories

Sergio Benvenuti, Amihay Hanany

In the space of couplings of the 4D N=1 gauge theory associated to D3 branes probing Calabi-Yau singularities, there is a manifold over which superconformal invariance is preserved…

String breaking in QCD: dual superconductor vs. stochastic vacuum model

D. Antonov, A. Di Giacomo

Effects of dispersion of the chromoelectric field of the flux tube on the string-breaking distance are studied. The leading-order correction is shown to slightly diminish the resul…
