Strongly γ-deformed N=4 SYM as an integrable CFT

David Grabner, Nikolay Gromov, Vladimir Kazakov +1

We demonstrate by explicit multi-loop calculation that γ-deformed planar N=4 SYM, supplemented with a set of double-trace counter-terms, has two nontrivial fixed points in the rece…

Gauged supergravities from M-theory reductions

Stefanos Katmadas, Alessandro Tomasiello

In supergravity compactifications, there is in general no clear prescription on how to select a finite-dimensional family of metrics on the internal space, and a family of forms on…

A fusion for the periodic Temperley-Lieb algebra and its continuum limit

Azat M. Gainutdinov, Jesper L. Jacobsen, Hubert Saleur

The equivalent of fusion in boundary conformal field theory (CFT) can be realized quite simply in the context of lattice models by essentially glueing two open spin chains. This ha…

Asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions deep inside the black-hole regime

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Emil J. Martinec +4

We construct an infinite family of smooth asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions that have the same charges and angular momenta as general supersymmetric D1-D5-P black holes, b…

Higher Spin de Sitter Hilbert Space

Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Ruben Monten +1

We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The fundamental degrees of f…

OPE for XXX

Philippe Di Francesco, Fedor Smirnov

We explain a new method for finding the correlation functions for the XXX model which is based on the concepts of Operator Product Expansion of Quantum Field Theory on one hand and…

Beyond Amplitudes' Positivity and the Fate of Massive Gravity

Brando Bellazzini, Francesco Riva, Javi Serra +1

We constrain effective field theories by going beyond the familiar positivity bounds that follow from unitarity, analyticity, and crossing symmetry of the scattering amplitudes. As…

Renormalised 3-point functions of stress tensors and conserved currents in CFT

Adam Bzowski, Paul McFadden, Kostas Skenderis

We present a complete momentum-space prescription for the renormalisation of tensorial correlators in conformal field theories. Our discussion covers all 3-point functions of stres…

The analytic bootstrap equations of non-diagonal two-dimensional CFT

Santiago Migliaccio, Sylvain Ribault

Under the assumption that degenerate fields exist, diagonal CFTs such as Liouville theory can be solved analytically using the conformal bootstrap method. Here we generalize this a…

Two Kissing Bolts

Guillaume Bossard, Stefanos Katmadas, David Turton

The study of non-supersymmetric black hole microstates offers the potential to resolve the black hole information paradox. A system of equations was recently obtained that enables…

Ten-dimensional lifts of global supersymmetry on curved spaces

Ruben Minasian, Daniël Prins

Admissible curved space backgrounds for four-dimensional supersymmetric field theories are determined by solving Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional off-shell supergraviti…

Rigid limit for hypermultiplets and five-dimensional gauge theories

Sergei Alexandrov, Sibasish Banerjee, Pietro Longhi

We study the rigid limit of a class of hypermultiplet moduli spaces appearing in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIB string theory, which is induced by a local limit of the Ca…

Holographic pinning

Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Matthew Lippert

In a holographic probe-brane model exhibiting a spontaneously spatially modulated ground state, we introduce explicit sources of symmetry breaking in the form of ionic and antiferr…

Integrability and Black-Hole Microstate Geometries

Iosif Bena, David Turton, Robert Walker +1

We examine some recently-constructed families of asymptotically-AdSS supergravity solutions that have the same charges and mass as supersymmetric D1-D5-P black holes…

A systematic construction of microstate geometries with low angular momentum

Iosif Bena, Pierre Heidmann, Pedro F. Ramirez

We outline a systematic procedure to obtain horizonless microstate geometries that have the same charges as three-charge five-dimensional black holes with a macroscopically-large h…

The Five-Loop Four-Point Integrand of N=8 Supergravity as a Generalized Double Copy

Zvi Bern, John Joseph M. Carrasco, Wei-Ming Chen +3

We use the recently developed generalized double-copy procedure to construct an integrand for the five-loop four-point amplitude of N=8 supergravity. This construction starts from…

Supersymmetric branes and instantons on curved spaces

Ruben Minasian, Daniël Prins, Hagen Triendl

We discuss non-linear instantons in supersymmetric field theories on curved spaces arising from D-branes. Focusing on D3-branes and four-dimensional field theories, we derive the s…

One-loop monodromy relations on single cuts

Alexander Ochirov, Piotr Tourkine, Pierre Vanhove

The discovery of colour-kinematic duality has led to significant progress in the computation of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories. At tree level, the origin of the du…

Integrability in dipole-deformed N=4 super Yang-Mills

Monica Guica, Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk, Konstantin Zarembo

We study the null dipole deformation of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, which is an example of a potentially solvable "dipole CFT": a theory that is non-local along a null direction,…
