Fibrations and Hasse diagrams for 6d SCFTs

Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger

We study the full moduli space of vacua of 6d worldvolume SCFTs on M5 branes probing an -type singularity, focusing on the geometric incarnation of the discrete gauging mechanis…

The Hasse Diagram of the Moduli Space of Instantons

Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +1

Hasse diagrams (or phase diagrams) for moduli spaces of supersymmetric field theories have been intensively studied in recent years, and many tools to compute them have been develo…

Steady States of Holographic Interfaces

Constantin Bachas, Zhongwu Chen, Vassilis Papadopoulos

We find stationary thin-brane geometries that are dual to far-from-equilibrium steady states of two-dimensional holographic interfaces. The flow of heat at the boundary agrees with…

Phases of Holographic Interfaces

Constantin Bachas, Vassilis Papadopoulos

We compute the phase diagram of the simplest holographic bottom-up model of conformal interfaces. The model consists of a thin domain wall between three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter…

Massive AdS Supergravitons and Holography

Constantin Bachas

I compare two holographic mechanisms giving to the graviton a parametrically-small supersymmetric mass in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the context of bi-metric gravity these…

Integral identities for 3d dualities with SP(2N) gauge groups

Antonio Amariti

In this note we study the reduction of 4d Seiberg duality to 3d for SP(2N) SQCD with an adjoint field. We follow a general prescription that consists in compactifying the dual 4d t…

Solving the 3d Ising Model with the Conformal Bootstrap II. c-Minimization and Precise Critical Exponents

Sheer El-Showk, Miguel F. Paulos, David Poland +3

We use the conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of the operator spectrum of the critical 3d Ising model. We conjecture that the 3d Ising spectrum minimizes the central…

Large N Free Energy of 3d N=4 SCFTs and AdS/CFT

Benjamin Assel, John Estes, Masahito Yamazaki

We provide a non-trivial check of the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence recently proposed in arXiv:1106.4253 by verifying the GKPW relation in the large N limit. The CFT free energy is ob…

Massive Hermitian Gravity

Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov

Einstein-Strauss Hermitian gravity was recently formulated as a gauge theory where the tangent group is taken to be the pseudo-unitary group instead of the orthogonal group. A Higg…

Spin-2 spectrum of defect theories

Constantin Bachas, John Estes

We study spin-2 excitations in the background of the recently-discovered type-IIB solutions of D'Hoker et al. These are holographically-dual to defect conformal field theories, and…

High-energy string-brane scattering: leading eikonal and beyond

Giuseppe D'Appollonio, Paolo Di Vecchia, Rodolfo Russo +1

We extend previous techniques for calculations of transplanckian-energy string-string collisions to the high-energy scattering of massless closed strings from a stack of N Dp-brane…

Holographic Optics and Negative Refractive Index

A. Amariti, D. Forcella, A. Mariotti +1

In recent years a very exciting and intense activity has been devoted to the understanding and construction of materials that enjoy exotic optical properties, such as a negative re…

Type IIB supergravity on squashed Sasaki-Einstein manifolds

Davide Cassani, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Anton F. Faedo

We provide a consistent N=4 Kaluza-Klein truncation of type IIB supergravity on general 5-dimensional squashed Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. Our reduction ansatz keeps all and only th…

Linear perturbations of Hyperkahler metrics

Sergei Alexandrov, Boris Pioline, Frank Saueressig +1

We study general linear perturbations of a class of 4d real-dimensional hyperkahler manifolds obtainable by the (generalized) Legendre transform method. Using twistor methods, we s…

Graviton production from D-string recombination and annihilation

J. L. Cornou, E. Pajer, R. Sturani

Fundamental superstrings (F-strings) and D-strings may be produced at high temperature in the early Universe. Assuming that, we investigate if any of the instabilities present in s…
