Notes on Strings and Higher Spins

A. Sagnotti

These notes are devoted to the intriguing and still largely unexplored links between String Theory and Higher Spins, the types of excitations that lie behind its most cherished pro…

Unbalanced Holographic Superconductors and Spintronics

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Daniele Musso +2

We present a minimal holographic model for s-wave superconductivity with unbalanced Fermi mixtures, in 2+1 dimensions at strong coupling. The breaking of a U(1)_A "charge" symmetry…

Holographic Duals of Quark Gluon Plasmas with Unquenched Flavors

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Javier Mas +2

We review the construction of gravitational solutions holographically dual to N=1 quiver gauge theories with dynamical flavor multiplets. We focus on the D3-D7 construction and con…

Field operators in topological quantum theories

Enore Guadagnini

The perturbative approach to the topological quantum field theories of the Chern-Simons type formulated in R^3 is considered. By means of the canonical quantization of the euclidea…

Confining vacua in SQCD, the Konishi anomaly and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa superpotential

Lorenzo Di Pietro, Simone Giacomelli

In this paper we revisit the analysis of vacua in N=2 SQCD with generic bare quark masses, softly broken by a mass term for the chiral superfield Φin the adjoint representation of…

k-String Tension from Eguchi-Kawai Reduction

Adi Armoni, Daniele Dorigoni, Gabriele Veneziano

We consider three-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories with massless Dirac or Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation. We use the Eguchi-Kawai volume reduction to two-dimension…

Vortices and Monopoles in Mass-deformed SO and USp Gauge Theories

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +4

Effects of mass deformations on 1/2 Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) non-Abelian vortices are studied in 4d N=2 supersymmetric U(1) \times SO(2n) and U(1) \times USp(2n) gauge…

Late-time expansion in the semiclassical theory of the Hawking radiation

Pietro Menotti

We give a detailed treatment of the back-reaction effects on the Hawking spectrum in the late-time expansion within the semiclassical approach to the Hawking radiation. We find tha…

Non-Abelian monopole-vortex complex

Mattia Cipriani, Daniele Dorigoni, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +2

In the context of softly broken N=2 supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics (SQCD), with a hierarchical gauge symmetry breaking SU(N+1) -> U(N) -> 1, at scales v1 and v2, respectivel…

Dynamics of Non-Abelian Vortices

Minoru Eto, Toshiaki Fujimori, Muneto Nitta +2

The scattering is studied using moduli space metric for well-separated vortices of non-Abelian vortices in (2+1)-dimensional U(N) gauge theories with N Higgs fields in the fundamen…

Nonabelian Faddeev-Niemi Decomposition of the SU(3) Yang-Mills Theory

Jarah Evslin, Simone Giacomelli, Kenichi Konishi +1

Faddeev and Niemi (FN) have introduced an abelian gauge theory which simulates dynamical abelianization in Yang-Mills theory (YM). It contains both YM instantons and Wu-Yang monopo…

Path Integral on Star Graph

Satoshi Ohya

In this paper we study path integral for a single spinless particle on a star graph with N edges, whose vertex is known to be described by U(N) family of boundary conditions. After…
