Cosmological singularities encoded in IR boundary correlations
Adam Bzowski, Thomas Hertog, Marjorie Schillo
We study the dynamics near big crunch singularities produced in asymptotic AdS cosmologies using gauge/gravity duality. The dual description consists of a constant mass deformation…
Grassmann Matrix Quantum Mechanics
Dionysios Anninos, Frederik Denef, Ruben Monten
We explore quantum mechanical theories whose fundamental degrees of freedom are rectangular matrices with Grassmann valued matrix elements. We study particular models where the low…
Nilpotent chiral superfield in N=2 supergravity and partial rigid supersymmetry breaking
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli
In the framework of N=2 conformal supergravity in four dimensions, we introduce a nilpotent chiral superfield suitable for the description of partial supersymmetry breaking in maxi…
Remarks on scale separation in flux vacua
F. F. Gautason, M. Schillo, T. Van Riet +1
We argue that the Maldacena-Nunez no-go theorem excluding Minkowski and de Sitter vacua in flux compactifications can be extended to exclude anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua for which th…
3D -minimization in AdS gauged supergravity
Antonio Amariti, Alessandra Gnecchi
In this paper we propose the identification in AdS4 N = 2 gauged supergravity of the coefficient of 3D N = 2 SCFTs. We constraint the structure of this function in supergr…
From black holes to flux throats: polarization can resolve the singularity
Diego Cohen-Maldonado, Juan Diaz, Thomas Van Riet +1
Supersymmetry-breaking is a key ingredient for string theory models to be phenomenologically viable. We review the strong analogy in the physics and the methods used for describing…
The Veneziano ghost, glost and gauge copies in QCD
D. Dudal, M. S. Guimaraes
In this short note, we come back to the recent proposal put forward by Kharzeev and Levin [PRL 114 (2015) 24, 242001], in which they phenomenologically couple the non-perturbative…
The general de Sitter supergravity component action
Marjorie Schillo, Ellen van der Woerd, Timm Wrase
In this paper we review the appearance and utility of a nilpotent chiral multiplet in the context of supergravity, string theory and cosmology. Coupling a nilpotent chiral superfie…
Two-dimensional SCFTs from D3-branes
Francesco Benini, Nikolay Bobev, P. Marcos Crichigno
We find a large class of two-dimensional SCFTs obtained by compactifying four-dimensional quiver gauge theories on a Riemann surface. We study t…
No inverse magnetic catalysis in the QCD hard and soft wall models
D. Dudal, D. R. Granado, T. G. Mertens
In this paper, we study the influence of an external magnetic field in holographic QCD models where the backreaction is modeled in via an appropriate choice of the background metri…
Evaluation of conformal integrals
Adam Bzowski, Paul McFadden, Kostas Skenderis
We present a comprehensive method for the evaluation of a vast class of integrals representing 3-point functions of conformal field theories in momentum space. The method leads to…
Radiation Gauge in AdS/QCD: inadmissibility and implications on spectral functions in the deconfined phase
David Dudal, Thomas G. Mertens
We point out a subtlety in choosing the radiation gauge (A_z=0 combined with the Lorenz gauge) for gauge fields in AdS/QCD for black hole backgrounds. We then demonstrate the effec…
Domain walls inside localised orientifolds
J. Blåbäck, E. van der Woerd, T. Van Riet +1
The equations of motion of toroidal orientifold compactifications with fluxes are in one-to-one correspondence with gauged supergravity if the orientifold (and D-brane) sources are…
Scalar 3-point functions in CFT: renormalisation, beta functions and anomalies
Adam Bzowski, Paul McFadden, Kostas Skenderis
We present a comprehensive discussion of renormalisation of 3-point functions of scalar operators in conformal field theories in general dimension. We have previously shown that co…
EFT for Vortices with Dilaton-dependent Localized Flux
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
We study how codimension-two objects like vortices back-react gravitationally with their environment in theories (such as 4D or higher-dimensional supergravity) where the bulk is d…
Self-Tuning at Large (Distances): 4D Description of Runaway Dilaton Capture
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
We complete here a three-part study (see also arXiv:1506.08095 and 1508.00856) of how codimension-two objects back-react gravitationally with their environment, with particular int…
A Problem With delta-functions: Stress-Energy Constraints on Bulk-Brane Matching (with comments on arXiv:1508.01124)
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
We critically assess a recent assertion (arXiv:1508.01124) concerning using delta-functions to analyze how higher-codimension branes back-react on their environment. We also briefl…
Primordial fluctuations from complex AdS saddle points
Thomas Hertog, Ellen van der Woerd
One proposal for dS/CFT is that the Hartle-Hawking (HH) wave function in the large volume limit is equal to the partition function of a Euclidean CFT deformed by various operators.…
Supersymmetric Casimir Energy and the Anomaly Polynomial
Nikolay Bobev, Mathew Bullimore, Hee-Cheol Kim
We conjecture that for superconformal field theories in even dimensions, the supersymmetric Casimir energy on a space with topology is equal to an equivariant i…
Pure de Sitter Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Daniel Z. Freedman, Renata Kallosh +1
Using superconformal methods we derive an explicit de Sitter supergravity action invariant under spontaneously broken local supersymmetry. The supergravity multiplet i…
Observations on fluxes near anti-branes
Diego Cohen-Maldonado, Juan Diaz, Thomas Van Riet +1
We revisit necessary conditions for gluing local (anti-)D3 throats into flux throats with opposite charge. These consistency conditions typically reveal singularities in the three-…
Effect of the Gribov horizon on the Polyakov loop and vice versa
F. E. Canfora, D. Dudal, I. F. Justo +3
We consider finite temperature SU(2) gauge theory in the continuum formulation, which necessitates the choice of a gauge fixing. Choosing the Landau gauge, the existing gauge copie…
Higher derivative couplings and massive supergravity in three dimensions
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Joseph Novak, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli
We develop geometric superspace settings to construct arbitrary higher derivative couplings (including R^n terms) in three-dimensional supergravity theories with N=1,2,3 by realisi…
The Gravity of Dark Vortices: Effective Field Theory for Branes and Strings Carrying Localized Flux
C. P. Burgess, Ross Diener, M. Williams
A Nielsen-Olesen vortex usually sits in an environment that expels the flux that is confined to the vortex, so flux is not present both inside and outside. We construct vortices fo…
