A no-go theorem for generalized vector Galileons on flat spacetime

Cedric Deffayet, A. Emir Gumrukcuoglu, Shinji Mukohyama +1

We explore the possibility for generalized electromagnetism on flat spacetime. For a single copy of gauge theory, we show that the Galileon-type generalization of electromag…

On the Oscillation of Species

Iosif Bena, Simon F. Ross, Nicholas P. Warner

We describe a new class of BPS objects called magnetubes: their supersymmetry is determined by their magnetic charges, while their electric charges can oscillate freely between dif…

High-order post-Newtonian contributions to the two-body gravitational interaction potential from analytical gravitational self-force calculations

Donato Bini, Thibault Damour

We extend the analytical determination of the main radial potential describing (within the effective one-body formalism) the gravitational interaction of two bodies beyond the 4th…

Supersymmetric Janus Solutions in Four Dimensions

Nikolay Bobev, Krzysztof Pilch, Nicholas P. Warner

We use maximal gauged supergravity in four dimensions to construct the gravity dual of a class of supersymmetric conformal interfaces in the theory on the world-volume of multiple…

Generalized virtual braid groups, quasi-shuffle product and quantum groups

Xin Fang

We introduce in this paper the generalized virtual braid group on n strands GVB_n, generalizing simultaneously the braid groups and their virtual versions. A Mastumoto-Tits type se…

On the stabilization of the Friedmann Big Bang by the shear stresses

V. A. Belinski

The window is found in the space of the free parameters of the theory of viscoelastic matter for which the Friedmann singularity is stable. Under stability we mean that in the pres…

Classical Conformal Blocks and Painleve VI

Alexey Litvinov, Sergei Lukyanov, Nikita Nekrasov +1

We study the classical c\to \infty limit of the Virasoro conformal blocks. We point out that the classical limit of the simplest nontrivial null-vector decoupling equation on a sph…

Towards the André-Oort conjecture for mixed Shimura varieties: the Ax-Lindemann theorem and lower bounds for Galois orbits of special points

Ziyang Gao

We prove in this paper the Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem for all mixed Shimura varieties and discuss the lower bounds for Galois orbits of special points of mixed Shimura variet…

The elliptic dilogarithm for the sunset graph

Spencer Bloch, Pierre Vanhove

We study the sunset graph defined as the scalar two-point self-energy at two-loop order. We evaluate the sunset integral for all identical internal masses in two dimensions. We giv…

On-shell Techniques and Universal Results in Quantum Gravity

N. E. J Bjerrum-Bohr, John F. Donoghue, Pierre Vanhove

We compute the leading post-Newtonian and quantum corrections to the Coulomb and Newtonian potentials using the full modern arsenal of on-shell techniques; we employ spinor-helicit…

Mimetic Dark Matter

Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov

We reformulate Einstein's theory of gravity, isolating the conformal degree of freedom in a covariant way. This is done by introducing a physical metric defined in terms of an auxi…

A generalization of the Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction

Jakob Palmkvist

The Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction associates a Lie algebra to any Jordan algebra. We generalize this construction to include also extensions of the associated Lie algebra. In pa…

Who Ordered the Anti-de Sitter Tangent Group?

Ali H. Chamseddine, Viatcheslav Mukhanov

General relativity can be unambiguously formulated with Lorentz, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter tangent groups, which determine the fermionic representations. We show that besides of…

The tensor hierarchy simplified

Jesper Greitz, Paul Howe, Jakob Palmkvist

A compact formulation of the field-strengths, Bianchi identities and gauge transformations for tensor hierarchies in gauged maximal supergravity theories is given. A key role in th…

Merger states and final states of black hole coalescences: a numerical-relativity-assisted effective-one-body approach

Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Loic Villain

We study to what extent the effective-one-body description of the dynamical state of a nonspinning, coalescing binary black hole (considered either at merger, or after ringdown) ag…
