Two-Form Asymptotic Symmetries and Scalar Soft Theorems

Dario Francia, Carlo Heissenberg

We investigate the large gauge transformations of a two-form gauge field in four-dimensional Minkowski space. Our goal is to establish a connection between these asymptotic symmetr…

On Classical Stability with Broken Supersymmetry

I. Basile, J. Mourad, A. Sagnotti

We study the perturbative stability of four settings that arise in String Theory, when dilaton potentials accompany the breaking of Supersymmetry, in the USp(32) and U(32) orientif…

Stable wormholes in scalar-tensor theories

Gabriele Franciolini, Lam Hui, Riccardo Penco +2

We reconsider the issue of whether scalar-tensor theories can admit stable wormhole configurations supported by a non-trivial radial profile for the scalar field. Using a recently…

Effective Field Theory of Black Hole Quasinormal Modes in Scalar-Tensor Theories

Gabriele Franciolini, Lam Hui, Riccardo Penco +2

The final ringdown phase in a coalescence process is a valuable laboratory to test General Relativity and potentially constrain additional degrees of freedom in the gravitational s…

AdS Asymptotic Symmetries from CFT Mirrors

Rashmish K. Mishra, Arif Mohd, Raman Sundrum

We study Kac-Moody asymptotic symmetries and memory effects in gauge theory and (when accompanied by 4D gravity) in its holographic CFT dual. W…

Asymptotic symmetries and charges at null infinity: from low to high spins

A. Campoleoni, D. Francia, C. Heissenberg

Weinberg's celebrated factorisation theorem holds for soft quanta of arbitrary integer spin. The same result, for spin one and two, has been rederived assuming that the infinite-di…

Long distance behavior of -model correlators in de Sitter space and the resummation of secular terms

Diana López Nacir, Francisco D. Mazzitelli, Leonardo G. Trombetta

We analyze the long distance behavior of the two-point functions for an interacting scalar model in de Sitter spacetime. Following our previous work, this behavior is analyz…

Behind Horndeski: Structurally Robust Higher Derivative EFTs

Luca Santoni, Enrico Trincherini, Leonardo G. Trombetta

Higher derivative scalar interactions can give rise to interesting cosmological scenarios. We present a complete classification of such operators that can yield sizeable effects wi…

AdS Vacuum Bubbles, Holography and Dual RG Flows

Riccardo Antonelli, Ivano Basile, Alessandro Bombini

We explore the holographic properties of non-perturbative vacuum decay in Anti-de Sitter () geometries. To this end, we consider a gravitational theory in a metastabl…

On BPS World Volume, RR Couplings and their Corrections in type IIB

Ehsan Hatefi

We compute the asymmetric and symmetric correlation functions of a four point amplitude of a gauge field, a scalar field and a closed string Ramond-Ramond (RR) for different non-va…

On Special Limit of Non-Supersymmetric Effective Actions of type II String theory

Ehsan Hatefi, Petr Vasko

In this paper we first address four point functions of string amplitudes in both type IIA and IIB string theories. Making use of non-BPS scattering amplitudes, we explore not only…
