Euclidean axion wormholes have multiple negative modes
Thomas Hertog, Brecht Truijen, Thomas Van Riet
We show that Euclidean axion wormholes in theories of gravity coupled to a single axion have several independent inhomogeneous perturbations that lower the Euclidean action. Our an…
What is the No-Boundary Wave Function of the Universe?
Jonathan J. Halliwell, James B. Hartle, Thomas Hertog
We specify the semiclassical no-boundary wave function of the universe without relying on a functional integral of any kind. The wave function is given as a sum of specific saddle…
Mass Deformations of the ABJM Theory: The Holographic Free Energy
Nikolay Bobev, Vincent S. Min, Krzysztof Pilch +1
We find a class of new supersymmetric Euclidean solutions in four-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity. The holographic dual description of these backgrounds is given by a mass-…
Probing Black Hole Microstate Evolution with Networks and Random Walks
Anthony M. Charles, Daniel R. Mayerson
We model black hole microstates and quantum tunneling transitions between them with networks and simulate their time evolution using well-established tools in network theory. In pa…
Swampland Distance Conjecture, Inflation and -attractors
Marco Scalisi, Irene Valenzuela
The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) constraints the dynamics emerging at infinite distances in field space of any effective field theory consistent with quantum gravity. It pro…
Holographic Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theories
Jan de Boer, Michal P. Heller, Natalia Pinzani-Fokeeva
We construct a holographic dual of the Schwinger-Keldysh effective action for the dissipative low-energy dynamics of relativistic charged matter at strong coupling in a fixed therm…
The holographic dual to supergravity instantons in
S. Katmadas, D. Ruggeri, M. Trigiante +1
We investigate the holographic dual to supergravity instanton solutions in , which are described entirely in terms of geodesics on the AdS moduli…
A Holographic Derivation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture
Miguel Montero
The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) demands the existence of superextremal particles in any consistent quantum theory of gravity. The standard lore is that these particles are introd…
Meta-stable non-extremal anti-branes
Jay Armas, Nam Nguyen, Vasilis Niarchos +2
We find new and compelling evidence for the meta-stability of SUSY-breaking states in holographic backgrounds whose consistency has been the source of ongoing disagreements in the…
Supersymmetric Born-Infeld actions and new Fayet-Iliopoulos terms
Niccolò Cribiori, Fotis Farakos, Magnus Tournoy
We consider supersymmetric Born-Infeld actions that have a second non-linear supersymmetry. We focus on the model proposed by Bagger and Galperin and show that the bre…
Entanglement of Purification and Multiboundary Wormhole Geometries
Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Grant N. Remmen
We posit a geometrical description of the entanglement of purification for subregions in a holographic CFT. The bulk description naturally generalizes the two-party case and leads…
On deformations and supersymmetry
Marco Baggio, Alessandro Sfondrini, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli +1
We investigate the "" deformations of two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories. More precisely, we show that, by using the conservation equations for the sup…
Rotating attractors and BPS black holes in
Kiril Hristov, Stefanos Katmadas, Chiara Toldo
We analyze stationary BPS black hole solutions to 4d abelian gauged supergravity. Using an appropriate near horizon ansatz, we construct rotating attractors with ma…
Compact G2 holonomy spaces from SU(3) structures
Stefano Andriolo, Gary Shiu, Hagen Triendl +3
We construct novel classes of compact G2 spaces from lifting type IIA flux backgrounds with O6 planes. There exists an extension of IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds for which some of th…
The tension between 10D supergravity and dS uplifts
F. F. Gautason, V. Van Hemelryck, T. Van Riet
We elaborate on the recent work of Moritz et. al. where it is argued that anti-brane uplifting in KKLT models never leads to dS vacua. This is due to flattening effects in the effe…
4d models of dS uplift in KKLT
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Evan McDonough +1
It was shown in arXiv:1808.09428 that the modified 4d version of the KKLT model proposed in arXiv:1707.08678 is inconsistent for large values of the parameter advocated in arXi…
de Sitter Vacua with a Nilpotent Superfield
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Evan McDonough +1
We study the arguments given in [1] which suggest that the uplifting procedure in the KKLT construction is not valid. First we show that the modification of the SUSY breaking secto…
NUTs and bolts beyond Lovelock
Pablo Bueno, Pablo A. Cano, Robie A. Hennigar +1
We construct a plethora of new Euclidean AdS-Taub-NUT and bolt solutions of several four- and six-dimensional higher-curvature theories of gravity with various base spaces $\mathca…
Traversable Wormholes as Quantum Channels: Exploring CFT Entanglement Structure and Channel Capacity in Holography
Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack +1
We interpret the traversable wormhole in AdS/CFT in the context of quantum information theory. In particular, we investigate its properties as both a quantum channel and entangleme…
Towards general super Casimir equations for SCFTs
Israel A. Ramírez
Applying the Casimir operator to four-point functions in CFTs allows us to find the conformal blocks for any external operators. In this work, we initiate the program to find the s…
On the exact quantum scale invariance of three-dimensional reduced QED theories
D. Dudal, A. J. Mizher, P. Pais
An effective quantum field theory description of graphene in the ultra-relativistic regime is given by reduced QED aka. pseudo QED aka. mixed-dimensional QED. It has been speculate…
Universality of squashed-sphere partition functions
Pablo Bueno, Pablo A. Cano, Robie A. Hennigar +1
We present several results concerning the free energy of odd-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) on squashed spheres. First, we propose a formula which computes this quanti…
Curvature squared invariants in six-dimensional supergravity
Daniel Butter, Joseph Novak, Mehmet Ozkan +2
We describe the supersymmetric completion of several curvature-squared invariants for supergravity in six dimensions. The construction of the invariants is based o…
Dai-Freed anomalies in particle physics
Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Miguel Montero
Anomalies can be elegantly analyzed by means of the Dai-Freed theorem. In this framework it is natural to consider a refinement of traditional anomaly cancellation conditions, whic…
