On AdS stability

Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandra Gnecchi +2

AdS supersymmetric solutions in type IIA have been classified, and they are infinitely many. Moreover, every such solution has a non-supersymmetric sister. In this paper, we st…

Brane mechanism of spontaneously generated gravity

A. A. Zheltukhin

The braneworld scenario is studied and the effective action of 3-brane living in 5-dim. Minkowski space is constructed. This action is proved to be invariant under spontaneously br…

Newton-Cartan Submanifolds and Fluid Membranes

Jay Armas, Jelle Hartong, Emil Have +2

We develop the geometric description of submanifolds in Newton--Cartan spacetime. This provides the necessary starting point for a covariant spacetime formulation of Galilean-invar…

Roadmap on Wilson loops in 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories

Nadav Drukker, Diego Trancanelli, Lorenzo Bianchi +18

This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ(M) and related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field an…

Double-Scaling Limit in Principal Chiral Model: a New Non-Critical String?

Vladimir Kazakov, Evgeny Sobko, Konstantin Zarembo

We initiate a systematic, non-perturbative study of the large- expansion in the two-dimensional Principal Chiral Model (PCM). Starting with the…

A tale of two exponentiations in supergravity at subleading level

Paolo Di Vecchia, Stephen G. Naculich, Rodolfo Russo +2

High-energy massless gravitational scattering in supergravity was recently analyzed at leading level in the deflection angle, uncovering an interesting connection betw…

Quantum Correction of the Wilson Line and Entanglement Entropy in the Pure AdS Einstein Gravity Theory

Xing Huang, Chen-Te Ma, Hongfei Shu

We calculate the expectation value of the Wilson line in the pure AdS Einstein gravity theory and also the entanglement entropy in the boundary theory. Our one-loop calculation…

A general definition of -- deformed QFTs

Tarek Anous, Monica Guica

We propose a general path-integral definition of two-dimensional quantum field theories deformed by an integrable, irrelevant vector operator constructed from the components of the…

O covariant String Cosmology to all orders in

Heliudson Bernardo, Robert Brandenberger, Guilherme Franzmann

Recently, all duality invariant -corrections to the massless NS-NS sector of string theory on time-dependent backgrounds were classified and the form of their contribution to t…

Holographic entanglement entropy and complexity of microstate geometries

Alessandro Bombini, Giulia Fardelli

We study holographic entanglement entropy and holographic complexity in a two-charge, -BPS family of solutions of type IIB supergravity, controlled by one dimensionles…

Dual Separated Variables and Scalar Products

Nikolay Gromov, Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk, Paul Ryan +1

Separation of variables (SoV) is an extremely efficient and elegant technique for analysing physical systems but its application to integrable spin chains was limited until recentl…

TBA equations for the Schrödinger equation with a regular singularity

Katsushi Ito, Hongfei Shu

We derive the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for the Schrödinger equation with an arbitrary polynomial potential and a regular singular (simple and double pole) term. T…

Mild Non-Gaussianities under Perturbative Control from Rapid-Turn Inflation Models

Theodor Bjorkmo, Ricardo Z. Ferreira, M. C. David Marsh

Inflation can be supported in very steep potentials if it is generated by rapidly turning fields, which can be natural in negatively curved field spaces. The curvature perturbation…

A tale of two exponentiations in supergravity

Paolo Di Vecchia, Andrés Luna, Stephen G. Naculich +3

The structure of scattering amplitudes in supergravity theories continues to be of interest. Recently, the amplitude for scattering in supergravity wa…

Black hole evaporation and semiclassicality at large D

Frederik Holdt-Sørensen, David A. McGady, Nico Wintergerst

Black holes of sufficiently large initial radius are expected to be well described by a semiclassical analysis at least until half of their initial mass has evaporated away. For a…

String Regge trajectory in de Sitter space and implications for inflation

Toshifumi Noumi, Toshiaki Takeuchi, Siyi Zhou

We study the spectrum of semiclassical rotating strings in de Sitter space and its consistency. Even though a naive extrapolation of the linear Regge trajectory on flat space impli…

Relating non-relativistic string theories

Troels Harmark, Jelle Hartong, Lorenzo Menculini +2

Non-relativistic string theories promise to provide simpler theories of quantum gravity as well as tractable limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence. However, several apparently disti…

On the multiloop soft theorem of the dilaton in the bosonic string

Paolo Di Vecchia, Raffaele Marotta, Matin Mojaza

In this note we show that by fixing the multiloop Green function in the closed bosonic string to be Arakelov's Green function, one obtains factorization of scattering amplitudes wi…

Bimetric interactions based on metric congruences

Mikica Kocic

In massive gravity and bigravity, spin-2 interactions are defined in terms of a square root matrix that involves two metrics. In this work, the interactions are constructed using a…

The Effectiveness of Relativistic Invariance in AdS

Andrea Fontanella, Olof Ohlsson Sax, Bogdan Stefański +2

We use relativistic invariance to investigate two aspects of integrable AdS string theory. Firstly, we write down the all-loop TBA equations for the massless sector of the th…
