Horizon Edge Partition Functions in Quantum Gravity

Y. T. Albert Law, Varun Lochab

We obtain the spectra of codimension-2 horizon "edge" degrees of freedom for gravity and higher-spin gauge fields in de Sitter space and in the static Nariai spacetime, advancing p…

Heterotic Ouroboros

Chiara Altavista, Salvatore Raucci, Angel M. Uranga +1

M-theory on has recently been proposed to yield, via quotients, ten-dimensional non-supersymmetric string theories. We revisit the construction t…

Inverse Problem in Effective Field Theory

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We show that the tree-level spectrum of heavy particles can be directly extracted from the Wilson coefficients of the corresponding effective field theory at low energies. This pro…

Quantum Liouville Cosmology

Dionysios Anninos, Thomas Hertog, Joel Karlsson

We provide a detailed analysis of the disk path integral of timelike Liouville theory, conceived as a tractable and precise toy-model quantum cosmology in two dimensions. Disk path…

Symmetry-resolved genuine multi-entropy: Haar random and graph states

Norihiro Iizuka, Simon Lin

We study the symmetry-resolved genuine multi-entropy, a measure that captures genuine multi-partite entanglement, in Haar random states and random graph states in the presence of a…

Conformal Bootstrap with Duality-Inspired Fusion Rule

Yu Nakayama, Toshiki Onagi

We present a systematic exploration of conformal field theories (CFTs) constrained by duality-inspired fusion rules using the conformal bootstrap. We classify the operator spectrum…

Conformal Blocks in 2d Carrollian/Galilean CFTs and Excited State Entanglement Entropy

Peng-Xiang Hao, Shunta Takahashi

We advance the study of flat space holography by computing the entanglement entropy of highly excited states in two-dimensional Carrollian/Galilean Conformal Field Theories (C/G CF…

A New Supersymmetry Index for the D1-D5 CFT

Marcel R. R. Hughes, Masaki Shigemori

We propose a new supersymmetry index for the D1-D5 CFT for , relevant to the AdS/CFT correspondence. In a novel formulation of symmetric orbifold CFTs based on the Sch…

On the generalized Komar charge of Kaluza-Klein theories and higher-form symmetries

G. Barbagallo, J. L. V. Cerdeira, C. Gómez-Fayrén +2

The generalized Komar -form charge can be modified by the addition of any other on-shell closed (conserved) -form charge. We show that, with Kaluza--Klein boundary co…

Bulk/boundary Modular Quintessence and DESI

Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Niccolò Cribiori +4

The latest DESI DR2 results, when combined with other independent cosmological data on the Cosmic Microwave Background and supernovas, suggest a preference for dynamical dark energ…

Vogel's universality and the classification problem for Jacobi identities

A. Morozov, A. Sleptsov

This paper is a summary of discussions at the recent ITEP-JINR-YerPhI workshop on Vogel theory in Dubna. We consider relation between Vogel divisor(s) and the old Dynkin classifica…

Gravitons on Nariai Edges

Y. T. Albert Law, Varun Lochab

We show that, for any , the one-loop graviton path integral on factorizes into bulk and edge parts. The bulk equals the thermal partition function of a…

A new scale anomaly in Dirac matter

Matteo Baggioli, Maxim N. Chernodub, Karl Landsteiner +2

The dynamics of Dirac semimetals is modeled at low energies by the massless Dirac Hamiltonian with the Fermi velocity replacing the velocity of light. The classical action is scale…

The universality class of the first levels in low-dimensional gravity

Alexander Altland, Jeremy van der Heijden, Tobias Micklitz +2

We investigate the physics of a small group of quantum states defined above the sharply defined ground state of a chaotic ensemble. This `universality class of the first levels' (U…

Stable non-linear evolution in regularised higher derivative effective field theories

Pau Figueras, Áron D. Kovács, Shunhui Yao

We study properties of a recently proposed regularisation scheme to formulate the initial value problem for general (relativistic) effective field theories (EFTs) with arbitrary hi…

Energy-Momentum Tensor and D-term of Baryons in Top-down Holographic QCD

Shigeki Sugimoto, Taichi Tsukamoto

We study the energy-momentum tensor of a baryon in a top-down holographic QCD. In holographic QCD, the baryons are represented as solitons in a 5-dimensional gauge theory. We obtai…

Feynman integrals at large loop order and the - distribution

Michael Borinsky, Andrea Favorito

We find empirically that the value of Feynman integrals follows a - distribution at large loop order. This result opens up a new avenue towards the large-order behavior in…
