Generalized symmetries of topological field theories
Ben Gripaios, Oscar Randal-Williams, Joseph Tooby-Smith
We study generalized symmetries in a simplified arena in which the usual quantum field theories of physics are replaced with topological field theories and the smooth structure wit…
Yoga Dark Energy: Natural Relaxation and Other Dark Implications of a Supersymmetric Gravity Sector
C. P. Burgess, Danielle Dineen, F. Quevedo
We construct a class of 4D `yoga' (naturally relaxed) models for which the gravitational response of heavy-particle vacuum energies is strongly suppressed. The models contain three…
Omega vs. pi, and 6d anomaly cancellation
Joe Davighi, Nakarin Lohitsiri
In this note we review the role of homotopy groups in determining non-perturbative (henceforth `global') gauge anomalies, in light of recent progress understanding global anomalies…
New Modular Invariants in Super-Yang-Mills Theory
Shai M. Chester, Michael B. Green, Silviu S. Pufu +2
We study modular invariants arising in the four-point functions of the stress tensor multiplet operators of the super-Yang-Mills theory, in the limit where $…
Global Orientifolded Quivers with Inflation
Michele Cicoli, Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Christoph Mayrhofer +3
We describe global embeddings of fractional D3 branes at orientifolded singularities in type IIB flux compactifications. We present an explicit Calabi-Yau example where the chiral…
Vacuum Polarization of STU Black Holes and their Subtracted Geometry Limit
Mirjam Cvetic, Gary W. Gibbons, Zain H. Saleem +1
We study the vacuum polarization of a massless minimally coupled scalar field at the horizon of four-charge STU black holes. We compare the results for the standard asymptotically…
