Spin Structures and AdS Holography

Nikolay Bobev, Pieter Bomans

We study the importance of spin structures as defining data for 11d supergravity backgrounds of the form AdS with a free orbifold action. For a generic c…

Real-Time Holography and Hybrid WKB for BTZ Wormholes

Vasil Dimitrov, Daniel R. Mayerson, Vincent Min

We study probe scalar correlation functions in a Solodukhin wormhole corresponding to the non-rotating BTZ black hole, as a toy model for microstate geometries thereof. Using real-…

AdS Holography and Higher-Derivative Supergravity

Nikolay Bobev, Kiril Hristov, Valentin Reys

We study four-derivative corrections to 5d minimal gauged supergravity using tools from conformal supergravity. There are two supersymmetric invariants at the four-…

String gravity in

Pablo A. Cano, Alejandro Ruipérez

We revisit the four-dimensional theory of gravity that arises from string theory with higher-derivative corrections. By compactifying and truncating the ten-dimensional effective a…

David Dudal, Duifje Maria van Egmond, Igor Figueiredo Justo +2

The renormalization properties of two local gauge invariant composite operators corresponding, respectively, to the gauge invariant description of the Higgs particle an…

Weyl Anomalies of Four Dimensional Conformal Boundaries and Defects

Adam Chalabi, Christopher P. Herzog, Andy O'Bannon +2

Motivated by questions about quantum information and classification of quantum field theories, we consider Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) in spacetime dimension with a c…

Holographic 3d Conformal Manifolds

Nikolay Bobev, Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Jesse van Muiden

We construct and study several examples of continuous families of AdS solutions of four-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity. These backgrounds provide the…

Decomposition of BPS Moduli Spaces and Asymptotics of Supersymmetric Partition Functions

Arash Arabi Ardehali, Junho Hong

We present a prototype for Wilsonian analysis of asymptotics of supersymmetric partition functions of non-abelian gauge theories. Localization allows expressing such partition func…

Factorization of log-corrections in AdS/CFT from supergravity localization

Kiril Hristov, Valentin Reys

We use the Atiyah-Singer index theorem to derive the general form of the one-loop corrections to observables in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetric backgrounds o…

T-duality and hints of generalized geometry in string corrections

Marina David, James Liu

We examine the structure of higher-derivative string corrections under a cosmological reduction and make connection to generalized geometry and T-duality. We observe that, while th…

Islands in Multiverse Models

Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Thomas Hertog +2

We consider multiverse models in two-dimensional linear dilaton-gravity theories as toy models of false vacuum eternal inflation. Coupling conformal matter we calculate the Von Neu…

Entanglement Wedge Cross Section Inequalities from Replicated Geometries

Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Grant N. Remmen

We generalize the constructions for the multipartite reflected entropy in order to construct spacetimes capable of representing multipartite entanglement wedge cross sections of di…

Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformations for the two loop massless quark propagator

Pietro Dall'Olio, Tim De Meerleer, David Dudal +2

Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformations (LKFTs) yield the gauge dependence of correlation functions within the class of linear covariant gauges. We derive the LKFT for the quark…

Scale-separated AdS vacua of IIA orientifolds and M-theory

Niccolò Cribiori, Daniel Junghans, Vincent Van Hemelryck +2

We revisit various aspects of AdS flux vacua with scale separation in type II supergravity and M-theory. We show that massless IIA allows both weakly and strongly coupled solut…

Ultraviolet behaviour of Higgs inflation models

Ignatios Antoniadis, Anthony Guillen, Kyriakos Tamvakis

We study the ultraviolet behaviour of Higgs inflation models above the apparent unitarity violation scale arising from the large non minimal coupling to gravity, by computing on-sh…

Regular braneworlds with nonlinear bulk-fluids

Ignatios Antoniadis, Spiros Cotsakis, Ifigeneia Klaoudatou

We construct a regular five-dimensional brane-world with localised gravity on a flat 3-brane. The matter content in the bulk is parametrised by an analog of a non-linear fluid with…

Aspects of compactification on a linear dilaton background

Ignatios Antoniadis, Chrysoula Markou, François Rondeau

We consider the most general Kaluza-Klein (KK) compactification on of a five dimensional () graviton-dilaton system, with a non-vanishing dilaton background…

A falling magnetic monopole as a holographic local quench

Nicolo Zenoni, Roberto Auzzi, Stefania Caggioli +2

An analytic static monopole solution is found in global AdS, in the limit of small backreaction. This solution is mapped in Poincaré patch to a falling monopole configuration,…

The FL bound and its phenomenological implications

Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa, Thomas Van Riet +1

Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-)de Sitter space decay without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of charged particles, known as the Fe…

Salvage of Too Slow Gravitinos

Ignatios Antoniadis, Karim Benakli, Wenqi Ke

Gravitinos can inherit a non-relativistic dispersion relation while propagating in a background breaking both supersymmetry and Lorentz symmetry spontaneously. This is because the…

A higher-dimensional view on quantum cosmology

U. H. Danielsson, D. Panizo, R. Tielemans +1

We argue that the choice of boundary condition for the wave function in quantum cosmology depends on the UV completion of general relativity. We provide an explicit example using a…
