Glimpses of black hole formation/evaporation in highly inelastic, ultra-planckian string collisions

Andrea Addazi, Massimo Bianchi, Gabriele Veneziano

We revisit possible glimpses of black-hole formation by looking at ultra-planckian string-string collisions at very high final-state multiplicity. We compare, in particular, previo…

Generalized Wilson-Fisher critical points from the conformal OPE

Ferdinando Gliozzi, Andrea Guerrieri, Anastasios C. Petkou +1

We study possible smooth deformations of Generalized Free Conformal Field Theories in arbitrary dimensions by exploiting the singularity structure of the conformal blocks dictated…

Black hole microstates from branes at angle

Lorenzo Pieri

We derive the leading g_s perturbation of the SUGRA fields generated by a supersymmetric configuration of respectively 1, 2 or 4 D3-branes intersecting at an arbitrary angle via th…

Yukawa's of light stringy states

Pascal Anastasopoulos, Massimo Bianchi, Dario Consoli

Light massive string states can appear at D-brane intersections with small angles. We compute tri-linear Yukawa couplings of such open-string states to massless ones and to one ano…

Stratifying On-Shell Cluster Varieties: the Geometry of Non-Planar On-Shell Diagrams

Jacob L. Bourjaily, Sebastian Franco, Daniele Galloni +1

The correspondence between on-shell diagrams in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and cluster varieties in the Grassmannian remains largely unexplored beyond the planar li…

Einstein-Yang-Mills from pure Yang-Mills amplitudes

Dhritiman Nandan, Jan Plefka, Oliver Schlotterer +1

We present new relations for scattering amplitudes of color ordered gluons and gravitons in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. Tree-level amplitudes of arbitrary multiplicities and polari…

Stringy origin of 4d black hole microstates

Massimo Bianchi, Josè Francisco Morales, Lorenzo Pieri

We derive a precise dictionary between micro-state geometries and open string condensates for a large class of excitations of four dimensional BPS black holes realised in terms of…

The string-junction picture of multiquark states: an update

Giancarlo Rossi, Gabriele Veneziano

We recall and update, both theoretically and phenomenologically, our (nearly) forty-years-old proposal of a string-junction as a necessary complement to the conventional classifica…

The free CFTs

Andrea Guerrieri, Anastasios C. Petkou, Congkao Wen

We introduce the conformal field theories that describe the shadows of the lowest dimension composites made out of massless free scalars and fermions in dimensions. We argue th…

Wilson Loops and Chiral Correlators on Squashed Spheres

Francesco Fucito, Jose Francisco Morale, Rubik Poghossian

After a very brief recollection of how my scientific collaboration with Ugo started, in this talk I will present some recent results obtained with localization: the deformed gauge…

Universality in string interactions

Yu-tin Huang, Oliver Schlotterer, Congkao Wen

In this letter, we provide evidence for universality in the low-energy expansion of tree-level string interactions. More precisely, in the alpha'-expansion of tree-level scattering…

On the soft limit of closed string amplitudes with massive states

Massimo Bianchi, Andrea L. Guerrieri

We extend our analysis of the soft behaviour of string amplitudes with massive insertions to closed strings at tree level (sphere). Relying on our previous results for open strings…
