Emergent Dark Matter in Late Time Universe on Holographic Screen

Rong-Gen Cai, Sichun Sun, Yun-Long Zhang

We discuss a scenario that the dark matter in late time universe emerges as part of the holographic stress-energy tensor on the hypersurface in higher dimensional flat spacetime. F…

Asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions deep inside the black-hole regime

Iosif Bena, Stefano Giusto, Emil J. Martinec +4

We construct an infinite family of smooth asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions that have the same charges and angular momenta as general supersymmetric D1-D5-P black holes, b…

Massive gravity and the suppression of anisotropies and gravitational waves in a matter-dominated contracting universe

Chunshan Lin, Jerome Quintin, Robert H. Brandenberger

We consider a modified gravity model with a massive graviton, but which nevertheless only propagates two gravitational degrees of freedom and which is free of ghosts. We show that…

Axial anomaly and nesting in the inhomogeneous chiral phase

Ryo Yoshiike, Toshitaka Tatsumi

Axial anomaly and nesting is elucidated in the context of the inhomogeneous chiral phase. Using the Gross-Neveu models in 1+1 dimensions, we shall discuss axial anomaly and nesting…

Strongly Coupled Quasi-Single Field Inflation

Aditya Varna Iyer, Shi Pi, Yi Wang +2

We study the power spectrum of quasi-single field inflation where strong coupling is considered. The contribution from the massive propagator can be divided into local and non-loca…

Real-time dynamics of matrix quantum mechanics beyond the classical approximation

Pavel Buividovich, Masanori Hanada, Andreas Schäfer

We describe a numerical method which allows us to go beyond the classical approximation for the real-time dynamics of many-body systems by approximating the many-body Wigner functi…

Emergent symmetries in the canonical tensor model

Dennis Obster, Naoki Sasakura

The canonical tensor model (CTM) is a tensor model proposing a classically and quantum mechanically consistent model of gravity, formulated as a first-class constraint system with…

-folds from Yang-Baxter deformations

Jose J. Fernandez-Melgarejo, Jun-ichi Sakamoto, Yuho Sakatani +1

Yang-Baxter (YB) deformations of type IIB string theory have been well studied from the viewpoint of classical integrability. Most of the works, however, are focused upon the local…

Anomaly matching for phase diagram of massless -QCD

Yuya Tanizaki, Yuta Kikuchi, Tatsuhiro Misumi +1

We elucidate that the phase diagram of massless -flavor QCD under flavor-twisted boundary condition (massless -QCD) is constrained by an 't Hooft an…

Renyi Entropy for Local Quenches in 2D CFTs from Numerical Conformal Blocks

Yuya Kusuki, Tadashi Takayanagi

We study the time evolution of Renyi entanglement entropy for locally excited states in two dimensional large central charge CFTs. It generically shows a logarithmical growth and w…

Ghost-free theory with third-order time derivatives

Hayato Motohashi, Teruaki Suyama, Masahide Yamaguchi

As the first step to extend our understanding of higher-derivative theories, within the framework of analytic mechanics of point particles, we construct a ghost-free theory involvi…
