Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the string-theoretical Swampland Programme

Kay Lehnert

String theory has strong implications for cosmology: it tells us that we cannot have a cosmological constant, that single-field slow-roll inflation is ruled out, and that black hol…

Some aspects of Skyrme--Chern-Simons densities

D. H. Tchrakian

The gauge transformation properties of the Skyrme--Chern-Simons (SCS) densities is studied. Two types of SCS actions are identified, Type_{I} in which the gauge group is smaller th…

Crossing with the circle in Dijkgraaf-Witten theory and applications to topological phases of matter

Alex Bullivant, Clement Delcamp

Given a fully extended topological quantum field theory, the 'crossing with the circle' conditions establish that the dimension, or categorification thereof, of the quantum invaria…

Duality and modular symmetry in the quantum Hall effect from Lifshitz holography

Brian P. Dolan

The temperature dependence of quantum Hall conductivities is studied in the context of the AdS/CMT paradigm using a model with a bulk theory consisting of (3+1)-dimensional Einstei…

Asymptotically flat, stable black hole solutions in Einstein--Yang-Mills--Chern-Simons theory

Yves Brihaye, Eugen Radu, D. H. Tchrakian

We construct finite mass, asymptotically flat black hole solutions in d=5 Einstein--Yang-Mills--Chern-Simons theory. Our results indicate the existence of a second order phase tran…

Dimensional Reduction, Monopoles and Dynamical Symmetry Breaking

Brian P. Dolan, Richard J. Szabo

We consider SU(2)-equivariant dimensional reduction of Yang-Mills-Dirac theory on manifolds of the form M x CP(1), with emphasis on the effects of non-trivial magnetic flux on CP(1…
