A novel cross-check of localization and non conformal holography

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Luca Griguolo +1

We precisely reproduce the perimeter law obeyed by Wilson loops on large spatial contours in planar N=2 SYM at strong coupling, as recently deduced using localization, by means of…

Background field method, Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and parametric completeness of renormalization

Damiano Anselmi

We investigate the background field method with the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, to generalize known results, study parametric completeness and achieve a better understanding of s…

Non-Abelian Vortices with an Aharonov-Bohm Effect

Jarah Evslin, Kenichi Konishi, Muneto Nitta +2

The interplay of gauge dynamics and flavor symmetries often leads to remarkably subtle phenomena in the presence of soliton configurations. Non-Abelian vortices -- vortex solutions…

Hyperbolic deformation of the strip-equation and the accessory parameters for the torus

Pietro Menotti

By applying an hyperbolic deformation to the uniformization problem for the infinite strip, we give a method for computing the accessory parameter for the torus with one source as…

Non-linear Representations of the Conformal Group and Mapping of Galileons

Paolo Creminelli, Marco Serone, Enrico Trincherini

There are two common non-linear realizations of the 4D conformal group: in the first, the dilaton is the conformal factor of the effective metric η_{μν} e^{-2 π}; in the second it…

Charged D3-D7 plasmas: novel solutions, extremality and stability issues

Francesco Bigazzi, Aldo L. Cotrone, Javier Tarrio

We study finite temperature N=4 Super Yang-Mills (and more general gauge theories realized on intersecting D3-D7 branes) in the presence of dynamical massless fundamental matter fi…

More on the N=2 superconformal systems of type

Sergio Cecotti, Michele Del Zotto, Simone Giacomelli

A large family of 4d N=2 SCFT's was introduced in arXiv:1210.2886. Its elements are labelled by a positive integer p\in N and a simply-laced Lie group G; their flavor symm…

A non-perturbative argument for the non-abelian Higgs mechanism

Giacomo De Palma, Franco Strocchi

The evasion of massless Goldstone bosons by the non-abelian Higgs mechanism is proved by a non-perturbative argument in the local BRST gauge.

Brane SUSY Breaking and Inflation: Implications for Scalar Fields and CMB Distorsion

A. Sagnotti

I elaborate on a link between the string--scale breaking of supersymmetry that occurs in a class of superstring models and the onset of inflation. The link rests on spatially flat…

New Confinement Phases from Singular SCFT

Simone Giacomelli, Kenichi Konishi

New types of confining phase emerge when some singular SCFT's appearing as infrared fixed points of N=2 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are deformed by an N=1 adjoint mass term. We make…

Renormalization of gauge theories without cohomology

Damiano Anselmi

We investigate the renormalization of gauge theories without assuming cohomological properties. We define a renormalization algorithm that preserves the Batalin-Vilkovisky master e…
