Light rings of five-dimensional geometries

Massimo Bianchi, Dario Consoli, Alfredo Grillo +1

We study massless geodesics near the photon-spheres of a large family of solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory in five dimensions, including BHs, naked singularities and smooth hori…

Mass Gap in Infinite Derivative Non-local Higgs: Dyson-Schwinger Approach

Marco Frasca, Anish Ghoshal

We investigate the non-perturbative degrees of freedom in the class of non-local Higgs theories that have been proposed as an ultraviolet completion 4-D Quantum Field Theory (QFT)…

String Memories ... Lost and Regained

Andrea Addazi, Massimo Bianchi, Maurizio Firrotta +1

We discuss stringy corrections to the gravitational wave signal generated in the merging of two black holes. We model the merging with two BPS compact massive objects in the…

Testing Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter in Supergravity from Gravitational Waves

Yermek Aldabergenov, Andrea Addazi, Sergei V. Ketov

We explore the Gravitational Waves (GW) phenomenology of a simple class of supergravity models that can explain and unify inflation and Primordial Black Holes (PBH) as Dark Matter…

Primordial black holes from modified supergravity

Yermek Aldabergenov, Andrea Addazi, Sergei V. Ketov

The modified supergravity approach is applied to describe a formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) after Starobinsky inflation. Our approach naturally leads to the two-(scalar)…

Holographic Naturalness

Andrea Addazi

The Holographic Naturalness (HN) is a new paradigm towards an explanation of the Cosmological Constant (CC) and the Higgs Hierarchy (HH) in the Universe. Motivated by the Holograph…

Hidden Non-Locality and Self-Superrenormalization of Quantum Gravity

Andrea Addazi

We show that the formation/evaporation of Black Holes (BH) unitarizes quantum gravity at all the orders of the perturbation theory. Non-perturbative quantum effects save the scatte…

Holographic Naturalness and Topological Phase Transitions

Andrea Addazi

We show that our Universe lives in a topological and non-perturbative vacuum state full of a large amount of hidden quantum hairs, the hairons. We will discuss and elaborate on the…

Multi-boundary entanglement in Chern-Simons theory with finite gauge groups

Siddharth Dwivedi, Andrea Addazi, Yang Zhou +1

We study the multi-boundary entanglement structure of the states prepared in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensional Chern-Simons theory with finite discrete gauge group . The states in (1+…

Mass Deformations of Unoriented Quiver Theories

Massimo Bianchi, Davide Bufalini, Salvo Mancani +1

We study the interplay between mass deformations and unoriented projections of super-conformal quiver gauge theories resulting from D3-branes at (toric) Calabi-Yau singularities. W…

On the N-pion extension of the Lovelace-Shapiro model

Massimo Bianchi, Dario Consoli, Paolo Di Vecchia

We reconsider a modification of the N-point amplitude of the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) model in which the tachyon becomes a pion by shifting its mass to zero and keeping the super-project…

Chaos at the rim of black hole and fuzzball shadows

Massimo Bianchi, Alfredo Grillo, Jose Francisco Morales

We study the scattering of massless probes in the vicinity of the {\it photon-sphere} of asymptotically AdS black holes and horizon-free microstate geometries (fuzzballs). We find…
