Patterns of Symmetry Breaking in Chiral "QCD"

Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Mikhail Shifman

We consider Yang-Mills theory with massless chiral fermions in a complex representation of the gauge group. The main emphasis is on the so-called hybrid psi-chi-eta model.…

From the Sakai-Sugimoto Model to the Generalized Skyrme Model

Lorenzo Bartolini, Stefano Bolognesi, Andrea Proto

We derive the generalized Skyrme model as a low-energy effective model of the Sakai-Sugimoto model. The novelty with the past is the presence of the sextic term equal to the topolo…

Flat connections in three-manifolds and classical Chern-Simons invariant

Enore Guadagnini, Philippe Mathieu, Frank Thuillier

A general method for the construction of smooth flat connections on 3-manifolds is introduced. The procedure is strictly connected with the deduction of the fundamental group of a…

Large-N CP(N-1) sigma model on a finite interval and the renormalized string energy

Alessandro Betti, Stefano Bolognesi, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +2

We continue the analysis started in a recent paper of the large-N two-dimensional CP(N-1) sigma model, defined on a finite space interval L with Dirichlet (or Neumann) boundary con…

Agravity up to infinite energy

Alberto Salvio, Alessandro Strumia

The self-interactions of the conformal mode of the graviton are controlled, in dimensionless gravity theories (agravity), by a coupling that is not asymptotically free. We sh…

On the quantum field theory of the gravitational interactions

Damiano Anselmi

We study the main options for a unitary and renormalizable, local quantum field theory of the gravitational interactions. The first model is a Lee-Wick superrenormalizable higher-d…

A Solitonic Approach to Holographic Nuclear Physics

Salvatore Baldino, Stefano Bolognesi, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +1

We discuss nuclear physics in the Sakai-Sugimoto model in the limit of large number of colors and large 't Hooft coupling . In this limit the individual baryons are descri…

Perturbative unitarity of Lee-Wick quantum field theory

Damiano Anselmi, Marco Piva

We study the perturbative unitarity of the Lee-Wick models, formulated as nonanalytically Wick rotated Euclidean theories. The complex energy plane is divided into disconnected reg…

A new formulation of Lee-Wick quantum field theory

Damiano Anselmi, Marco Piva

The Lee-Wick models are higher-derivative theories that are claimed to be unitary thanks to a peculiar cancelation mechanism. In this paper, we provide a new formulation of the mod…
