Lattice defect networks in 2d Yang-Mills
Luca Griguolo, Elisa Iris Marieni, Itamar Yaakov
We construct defect networks in pure Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions using a refinement of the lattice approach. The refinement preserves the locality properties of individual…
Asymptotics of Weil-Petersson volumes and two-dimensional quantum gravities
Luca Griguolo, Jacopo Papalini, Lorenzo Russo +1
We propose a refined expression for the large genus asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli space of super-Riemann surfaces with an arbitrary number of boundaries.…
The phase diagram of -deformed Yang-Mills theory on the sphere
Luca Griguolo, Rodolfo Panerai, Jacopo Papalini +1
We study the large- dynamics of -deformed two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at genus zero. The 1/-expansion of the free energy is obtained by exploiting the associa…
Constant primary operators and where to find them: The strange case of BPS defects in ABJ(M) theory
Nicola Gorini, Luca Griguolo, Luigi Guerrini +3
We investigate the one-dimensional defect SCFT defined on the BPS Wilson line/loop in ABJ(M) theory. We show that the supermatrix structure of the defect imposes a covariant…
Exact -deformation of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the sphere
Luca Griguolo, Rodolfo Panerai, Jacopo Papalini +1
We study the deformation of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at genus zero by carrying out the analysis at the level of its instanton representation. We first focus on…
Exact deformation of two-dimensional Maxwell theory
Luca Griguolo, Rodolfo Panerai, Jacopo Papalini +1
-deformed two-dimensional quantum Maxwell theory on the torus is examined, taking into account nonperturbative effects in the deformation parameter . We study the…
Very Hairy Inflation
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper, Alexander Westphal
We revisit the rollercoaster cosmology based on multiple stages of monodromy inflation. Working within the framework of effective flux monodromy field theory, we include the full r…
Generating functions for Higgs/Coulomb branch operators from 1d-3d cohomological equivalence
Luigi Guerrini, Silvia Penati, Itamar Yaakov
We provide a proof for the conjectured equality of the generating function of integrated Higgs and Coulomb branch topological operators in 3d gauge theories and…
Nonperturbative effects and resurgence in JT gravity at finite cutoff
Luca Griguolo, Rodolfo Panerai, Jacopo Papalini +1
We investigate the nonperturbative structure of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity at finite cutoff, as given by its proposed formulation in terms of a -deformed Schwarzian quantu…
Localization and Duality for ABJM Latitude Wilson Loops
Luca Griguolo, Luigi Guerrini, Itamar Yaakov
We investigate several aspects of BPS latitude Wilson loops in gauge theories in three dimensions with supersymmetry. We derive a matrix model for the bosonic la…
Bootstrapping the half-BPS line defect CFT in SYM at strong coupling
Pietro Ferrero, Carlo Meneghelli
We consider the 1d CFT defined by the half-BPS Wilson line in planar super Yang-Mills. Using analytic bootstrap methods we derive the four-point function of the sup…
Double Monodromy Inflation: A Gravity Waves Factory for CMB-S4, LiteBIRD and LISA
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper, Alexander Westphal
We consider a short rollercoaster cosmology based on two stages of monodromy inflation separated by a stage of matter domination, generated after the early inflaton falls out of sl…
The topological line of ABJ(M) theory
Nicola Gorini, Luca Griguolo, Luigi Guerrini +3
We construct the one-dimensional topological sector of ABJ(M) theory and study its relation with the mass-deformed partition function on . Supersymmetric loca…
Rollercoaster Cosmology
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper
(Abridged) Does inflation have to happen all in one go? The answer is a resounding no! All cosmological problems can be solved by a sequence of short bursts of cosmic acceleration,…
Analytic bootstrap and Witten diagrams for the ABJM Wilson line as defect CFT
Lorenzo Bianchi, Gabriel Bliard, Valentina Forini +2
We study local operator insertions on 1/2-BPS line defects in ABJM theory. Specifically, we consider a class of four-point correlators in the CFT with SU superconform…
Roadmap on Wilson loops in 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories
Nadav Drukker, Diego Trancanelli, Lorenzo Bianchi +18
This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ(M) and related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field an…
Circular Wilson loops in defect =4 SYM: phase transitions, double-scaling limits and OPE expansion
S. Bonansea, S. Davoli, L. Griguolo +1
We consider circular Wilson loops in a defect version of super-Yang-Mills theory which is dual to the D3-D5 brane system with units of flux. When the loops are…
A matrix model for the latitude Wilson loop in ABJM theory
Marco S. Bianchi, Luca Griguolo, Andrea Mauri +2
In ABJ(M) theory, we propose a matrix model for the exact evaluation of BPS Wilson loops on a latitude circular contour, so providing a new weak-strong interpolation tool. Intrigui…
Wilson lines as superconformal defects in ABJM theory: a formula for the emitted radiation
Lorenzo Bianchi, Luca Griguolo, Michelangelo Preti +1
We study operator insertions into 1/2 BPS Wilson loops in N = 6 ABJM theory and investigate their two-point correlators. In this framework, the energy emitted by a heavy moving pro…
Towards the exact Bremsstrahlung function of ABJM theory
Marco S. Bianchi, Luca Griguolo, Andrea Mauri +3
We present the three-loop calculation of the Bremsstrahlung function associated to the 1/2-BPS cusp in ABJM theory, including color subleading corrections. Using the BPS condition…
A model for pion-pion scattering in large-N QCD
Gabriele Veneziano, Shimon Yankielowicz, Enrico Onofri
Following up on recent work by Caron-Huot et al. we consider a generalization of the old Lovelace-Shapiro model as a toy model for Pi-Pi scattering satisfying (most of) the propert…
Framing and localization in Chern-Simons theories with matter
Marco S. Bianchi, Luca Griguolo, Matias Leoni +3
Supersymmetric localization provides exact results that should match QFT computations in some regularization scheme. The agreement is particularly subtle in three dimensions where…
Surprises from the resummation of ladders in the ABJ(M) cusp anomalous dimension
Marisa Bonini, Luca Griguolo, Michelangelo Preti +1
We study the cusp anomalous dimension in N=6 ABJ(M) theory, identifying a scaling limit in which the ladder diagrams dominate. The resummation is encoded into a Bethe-Salpeter equa…
