Baryons, Skyrmions and -periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories

Stefano Bolognesi, Andrea Luzio, Giacomo Santoni

In this paper, we study the baryons and solitons of chiral and vector-like gauge theories with matter in mixed one and two-index representations. Focusing on the Color-flav…

Hidden gauge invariances of torsion theories: closed algebras and absence of ghosts

Dario Sauro

We study the possible affine gauge transformations of the torsion tensor that make up Lie algebras. We find two such non-trivial structures, in which the gauge parameters are a …

Quantum gravity with purely virtual particles from asymptotically local quantum field theory

Damiano Anselmi

We investigate the relationship between nonlocal and local quantum field theories, and search for a viable notion of "local limit" to relate the unitary models. In Euclidean space…

Positivity Bounds on Massive Vectors

Francesco Bertucci, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak +3

In this paper, we explore positivity bounds for the effective field theory~(EFT) of a single weakly coupled massive vector field. The presence of both mass and spin makes the cross…

Mass and Isospin Breaking Effects in the Skyrme Model and in Holographic QCD

Lorenzo Bartolini, Stefano Bolognesi, Sven Bjarke Gudnason +1

We discuss how the quark masses and their mass splitting affect the baryons in the Skyrme model as well as the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto (WSS) model. In both cases baryons are describe…

Symmetry resolution of the computable cross-norm negativity of two disjoint intervals in the massless Dirac field theory

Andrea Bruno, Filiberto Ares, Sara Murciano +1

We investigate how entanglement in the mixed state of a quantum field theory can be described using the cross-computable norm or realignment (CCNR) criterion, employing a recently…

New Developments in the Numerical Conformal Bootstrap

Slava Rychkov, Ning Su

The numerical conformal bootstrap has become in the last 15 years an indispensable tool for studying strongly coupled CFTs in various dimensions. Here we review the main developmen…

Adding subtractions: comparing the impact of different Regge behaviors

Brian McPeak, Marco Venuti, Alessandro Vichi

Dispersion relations let us leverage the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes to derive constraints such as bounds on EFT coefficients. An important input is the large-energ…

A note on Gauss operators and quantizations of Yang-Mills theories

Bruno Bucciotti, Franco Strocchi

The quantization of Yang-Mills field theories requires the introduction of a gauge fixing which leads to a violation of the Local Gauss Law described by the so-called Gauss operato…

From the string vacuum to FLRW or de Sitter via corrections

P. Conzinu, G. Fanizza, M. Gasperini +3

We first make more precise a recent "Hamiltonian" reformulation of the Hohm-Zwiebach approach to the tree-level, -invariant string cosmology equations at all orders in the…
