Renormalization of the cyclic Wilson loop
Matthias Berwein, Nora Brambilla, Jacopo Ghiglieri +1
In finite-temperature field theory, the cyclic Wilson loop is defined as a rectangular Wilson loop spanning the whole compactified time direction. In a generic non-abelian gauge th…
Charged black holes in nonlinear massive gravity
Yi-Fu Cai, Damien A. Easson, Caixia Gao +1
We find static charged black hole solutions in nonlinear massive gravity. In the parameter space of two gravitational potential parameters we show that below the Compton w…
Smoothed Transitions in Higher Spin AdS Gravity
Shamik Banerjee, Alejandra Castro, Simeon Hellerman +4
We consider CFTs conjectured to be dual to higher spin theories of gravity in AdS_3 and AdS_4. Two dimensional CFTs with W_N symmetry are considered in the lambda=0 (k --> infinity…
A UV complete model of Large N Thermal QCD
Fang Chen, Long Chen, Keshav Dasgupta +2
Many recent works on large N holographic QCD in the planar limit have not considered UV completions, restricting exclusively towards analyzing the IR physics. Due to this, the UV p…
The Wave Function of Quantum de Sitter
Alejandra Castro, Alexander Maloney
We consider quantum general relativity in three dimensions with a positive cosmological constant. The Hartle-Hawking wave function is computed as a function of metric data at asymp…
Stationary Phase Approximation and Instanton-like States for Cosmological In-In Path Integrals
Ali Kaya
The path integral, which generates in-in correlation functions of a scalar field in a cosmological spacetime, is shown to admit nontrivial classical solutions as stationary phases.…
