Wilson loops and its correlators with chiral operators in SCFT at large

Ekaterina Sysoeva

In this paper we compute the vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop and its correlators with chiral primary operators in superconformal gauge theorie…

Testing Noncommutative Spacetimes and Violations of the Pauli Exclusion Principle with underground experiments

Andrea Addazi, Pierluigi Belli, Rita Bernabei +1

We propose to deploy limits that arise from different tests of the Pauli Exclusion Principle in order: i) to provide theories of quantum gravity with an experimental guidance; ii)…

Symplectic formulation of the type IIA nongeometric scalar potential

Xin Gao, Pramod Shukla, Rui Sun

We study the four-dimensional (4D) scalar potential arising from a generalized type IIA flux superpotential including the (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we show that using a set of…

Probing Fuzzballs with Particles, Waves and Strings

M. Bianchi, D. Consoli, J. F. Morales

We probe D1D5 micro-state geometries with massless particles, waves and strings. To this end, we study geodetic motion, Klein-Gordon equation and string scattering in the resulting…

N=2 Moduli of AdS4 vacua: A fine-print study

Constantin Bachas, Massimo Bianchi, Amihay Hanany

We analyze the moduli spaces near N=4 supersymmetric AdS4 vacua of string theory by combining and comparing various approaches: (a) the known exact solutions of Type IIB string the…

Spontaneous breaking in QCD and the axion potential: an effective Lagrangian approach

Paolo Di Vecchia, Giancarlo Rossi, Gabriele Veneziano +1

Using the well-known low-energy effective Lagrangian of QCD --valid for small (non-vanishing) quark masses and a large number of colors-- we study in detail the regions of paramete…

Two-point Correlators in N=2 Gauge Theories

M. Billo, F. Fucito, A. Lerda +3

We consider two-point correlators in SU(N) gauge theories on R4 with N=2 supersymmetry and Nf massless hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Using localization on S4,…

On the exactness of soft theorems

Andrea L. Guerrieri, Yu-tin Huang, Zhi-Zhong Li +1

Soft behaviours of S-matrix for massless theories reflect the underlying symmetry principle that enforces its masslessness. As an expansion in soft momenta, sub-leading soft theore…

Open Strings and Electric Fields in Compact Spaces

Cezar Condeescu, Emilian Dudas, Gianfranco Pradisi

We analyse open strings with background electric fields in the internal space, T-dual to branes moving with constant velocities in the internal space. We find that the direction of…

The analytic structure of conformal blocks and the generalized Wilson-Fisher fixed points

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

We describe in detail the method used in our previous work arXiv:1611.10344 to study the Wilson-Fisher critical points nearby generalized free CFTs, exploiting the analytic structu…

More on microstate geometries of 4d black holes

Massimo Bianchi, Jose Francisco Morales, Lorenzo Pieri +1

We construct explicit examples of microstate geometries of four-dimensional black holes that lift to smooth horizon-free geometries in five dimensions. Solutions consist of half-BP…

Non-Supersymmetric Magic Theories and Ehlers Truncations

Alessio Marrani, Gianfranco Pradisi, Fabio Riccioni +1

We consider the non-supersymmetric "magic" theories based on the split quaternion and the split complex division algebras. We show that these theories arise as "Ehlers" $SL(2,\math…
