Generalized Born--Infeld Actions and Projective Cubic Curves

S. Ferrara, M. Porrati, A. Sagnotti +2

We investigate supersymmetric Born-Infeld Lagrangians with a second non-linearly realized supersymmetry. The resulting non-linear structure is more complex than the sq…

Vainshtein Solutions Without Superluminal Modes

Gregory Gabadadze, Rampei Kimura, David Pirtskhalava

The Vainshtein mechanism suppresses the fifth force at astrophysical distances, while enabling it to compete with gravity at cosmological scales. Typically, Vainshtein solutions ex…

Entanglement thermodynamics for an excited state of Lifshitz system

Somdeb Chakraborty, Parijat Dey, Sourav Karar +1

A class of (2+1)-dimensional quantum many body system characterized by an anisotropic scaling symmetry (Lifshitz symmetry) near their quantum critical point can be described by a (…

An asymptotic solution of large-

Marco Bochicchio

We find an asymptotic solution for two-, three- and multi-point correlators of local gauge-invariant operators, in a lower-spin sector of massless large- , in terms of glue…

Inflation from Minkowski Space

David Pirtskhalava, Luca Santoni, Enrico Trincherini +1

We propose a class of scalar models that, once coupled to gravity, lead to cosmologies that smoothly and stably connect an inflationary quasi-de Sitter universe to a low, or even z…

The Minimal Volkov - Akulov - Starobinsky Supergravity

I. Antoniadis, E. Dudas, S. Ferrara +1

We construct a supergravity model whose scalar degrees of freedom arise from a chiral superfield and are solely a scalaron and an axion that is very heavy during the inflationary p…

Pre - Inflationary Clues from String Theory ?

N. Kitazawa, A. Sagnotti

"Brane supersymmetry breaking" occurs in String Theory when the only available combinations of D-branes and orientifolds are not mutually BPS and yet do not introduce tree-level ta…

Inequivalence of Coset Constructions for Spacetime Symmetries

Paolo Creminelli, Marco Serone, Gabriele Trevisan +1

Non-linear realizations of spacetime symmetries can be obtained by a generalization of the coset construction valid for internal ones. The physical equivalence of different represe…

Selfacceleration with Quasidilaton

Gregory Gabadadze, Rampei Kimura, David Pirtskhalava

Quasidilaton massive gravity is an extension of massive General Relativity to a theory with additional scale invariance and approximate internal Galilean symmetry. The theory has a…

Notes on higher-spin algebras: minimal representations and structure constants

Euihun Joung, Karapet Mkrtchyan

The higher-spin (HS) algebras so far known can be interpreted as the symmetries of the minimal representation of the isometry algebra. After discussing this connection briefly, we…
