The Entropy Shift and Extremality Shift at Zero Temperature
Brian McPeak
There is a well-established connection between the higher-derivative corrections to the black hole entropy and the black hole extremality bound. The particular combination of EFT c…
Classical Codes and Chiral CFTs at Higher Genus
Johan Henriksson, Ashish Kakkar, Brian McPeak
Higher genus modular invariance of two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) is a largely unexplored area. In this paper, we derive explicit expressions for the higher genus…
Bootstrapping Mixed MN Correlators in 3D
Stefanos R. Kousvos, Andreas Stergiou
The recent emergence of the modern conformal bootstrap method for the study of conformal field theories (CFTs) has enabled the revisiting of old problems in classical critical phen…
Scale and Conformal Invariance in Higher Derivative Shift Symmetric Theories
Mahmoud Safari, Andreas Stergiou, Gian Paolo Vacca +1
The critical behavior of infinite families of shift symmetric interacting theories with higher derivative kinetic terms (non unitary) is considered. Single scalar theories with shi…
Effective Field Theory for the Perturbations of a Slowly Rotating Black Hole
Lam Hui, Alessandro Podo, Luca Santoni +1
We develop the effective theory for perturbations around black holes with scalar hair, in two directions. First, we show that the scalar-Gauss--Bonnet theory, often used as an exam…
Repulsive Black Holes and Higher-Derivatives
Sera Cremonini, Callum R. T. Jones, James T. Liu +2
In two-derivative theories of gravity coupled to matter, charged black holes are self-attractive at large distances, with the force vanishing at zero temperature. However, in the p…
Anomalies and phases of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories: recent developments
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
After many years of investigations, our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories is still quite unsatisfactory today. Conventional wisdom about stron…
A different kind of four dimensional brane for string theory
Matteo Romoli, Omar Zanusso
We present a generalization of the string's Polyakov action that describes a conformally invariant four dimensional brane. The new extended object is very different from the tradit…
Diagrammar of physical and fake particles and spectral optical theorem
Damiano Anselmi
We prove spectral optical identities in quantum field theories of physical particles (defined by the Feynman prescription) and purely virtual particles (defined by the fakeon…
Rigorous Bounds on Light-by-Light Scattering
Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak, Francesco Russo +1
We bound EFT coefficients appearing in photon scattering amplitudes in four dimensions. After reviewing unitarity and positivity conditions in this context, we use disper…
Strong anomaly and phases of chiral gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We present a simple argument which seems to favor, when applied to a large class of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories, a dynamical-Higgs-phase scenario, characterized by certa…
The search for the universality class of metric quantum gravity
Riccardo Martini, Alessandro Ugolotti, Omar Zanusso
On the basis of a limited number of reasonable axioms, we discuss the classification of all the possible universality classes of diffeomorphisms invariant metric theories of quantu…
Perturbation Spectra and Renormalization-Group Techniques in Double-Field Inflation and Quantum Gravity Cosmology
Damiano Anselmi
We study primordial cosmology with two scalar fields that participate in inflation at the same time, by coupling quantum gravity (i.e., the theory with the fakeon p…
Effective two-body approach to the hierarchical three-body problem
Adrien Kuntz, Francesco Serra, Enrico Trincherini
The motion of three bodies can be solved perturbatively when a tightly bound inner binary is orbited by a distant perturber, giving rise for example to the well-known Kozai-Lidov o…
Gravity in dimensions and realizations of the diffeomorphisms group
Riccardo Martini, Alessandro Ugolotti, Francesco Del Porro +1
We discuss two distinct realizations of the diffeomorphism group for metric gravity, which give rise to theories that are classically equivalent, but quantum mechanically distinct.…
Renormalization-group techniques for single-field inflation in primordial cosmology and quantum gravity
Damiano Anselmi, Filippo Fruzza, Marco Piva
We study inflation as a "cosmic" renormalization-group flow. The flow, which encodes the dependence on the background metric, is described by a running coupling , which parametr…
Near-BPS baby Skyrmions with Gaussian tails
Sven Bjarke Gudnason, Marco Barsanti, Stefano Bolognesi
We consider the baby Skyrme model in a physically motivated limit of reaching the restricted or BPS baby Skyrme model, which is a model that enjoys area-preserving diffeomorphism i…
Renormalized Schwinger-Dyson functional
Enore Guadagnini, Vittoria Urso
We consider the perturbative renormalization of the Schwinger-Dyson functional, which is the generating functional of the expectation values of the products of the composite operat…
Quantizing the Eisenhart Lift
Kieran Finn, Sotirios Karamitsos, Apostolos Pilaftsis
The classical Eisenhart lift is a method by which the dynamics of a classical system subject to a potential can be recreated by means of a free system evolving in a higher-dimensio…
Probing the dynamics of chiral SU(N) gauge theories via generalized anomalies
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We study symmetries and dynamics of chiral gauge theories with matter Weyl fermions in a two-index symmetric () or anti-symmetric tensor () representation, together w…
