Scaling limits of complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models and holographic geometry
Elena Gubankova, Subir Sachdev, Grigory Tarnopolsky
We compare different limits of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of complex fermion with -fermion interactions. First, we compute the fermion Green's function and free energy in t…
Tame Complexity of Effective Field Theories in the Quantum Gravity Landscape
Thomas W. Grimm, David Prieto, Mick van Vliet
Effective field theories consistent with quantum gravity obey surprising finiteness constraints, appearing in several distinct but interconnected forms. In this work we develop a f…
The CFT Distance Conjecture and Tensionless String Limits in Quiver Gauge Theories
José Calderón-Infante, Amineh Mohseni
We initiate the study of infinite-distance limits on (complex) multi-dimensional conformal manifolds of 4d SCFTs and their bulk interpretation as tensionless-string limits in AdS/C…
Loop Corrected Supercharges from Holomorphic Anomalies
Kasia Budzik, Justin Kulp
We describe the loop corrections to supercharges in supersymmetric quantum field theories using the holomorphic twist formalism. We begin by reviewing the relation between supercha…
No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/
Raphaël Dulac, Zixia Wei
Elliptic de Sitter (dS) spacetime dS is a non-time-orientable spacetime obtained by imposing an antipodal identification to global dS. Unlike QFT on global dS, whose…
Symmetry Points of Modular Geometry
Amineh Mohseni, Cumrun Vafa
We consider 4d supergravity theories with modular symmetry, where the modulus is the upper half-plane modulo action. We focus on enhanced dis…
Open-closed 3d gravity as a random ensemble
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Diandian Wang
We investigate an ensemble of boundary CFTs within the framework of a tensor model recently constructed to model 3d quantum gravity. The incorporation of CFT borders introduces new…
Ryu-Takayanagi Formula for Multi-Boundary Black Holes from 2D Large- CFT Ensemble
Ning Bao, Hao Geng, Yikun Jiang
We study a class of quantum states involving multiple entangled CFTs in AdS/CFT, associated with multi-boundary black hole geometries, and demonstrate that the Ryu-Takayana…
Wormholes with Ends of the World
Diandian Wang, Zhencheng Wang, Zixia Wei
We study classical wormhole solutions in 3D gravity with end-of-the-world (EOW) branes, conical defects, kinks, and punctures. These solutions compute statistical averages of an en…
Probing Quantum Curves and Transitions in 5d SQFTs via Defects and Blowup Equations
Hee-Cheol Kim, Minsung Kim, Sung-Soo Kim +2
We investigate codimension-2 defect partition functions and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves in 5d rank-1 supersymmetric QFTs, including non-Lagrangian and Kaluza-Klein theories. Usin…
String islands, discrete theta angles and the 6D string landscape
Zihni Kaan Baykara, Héctor Parra De Freitas, Houri-Christina Tarazi
The complete classification of the landscape of 6D string vacua remains an open problem. In this work we prove a classification theorem for 6D $\mathcal{N} =…
Celestial Quantum Error Correction II: From Qudits to Celestial CFT
Alfredo Guevara, Yangrui Hu
A holographic CFT description of asymptotically flat spacetimes inherits vacuum degeneracies and IR divergences from its gravitational dual. We devise a Quantum Error Correcting (Q…
Crosscap Quenches and Entanglement Evolution
Zixia Wei, Yasushi Yoneta
Understanding the mechanisms by which complex correlations emerge through the dynamics of quantum many-body systems remains a fundamental challenge in modern physics. To address th…
Finiteness and the Emergence of Dualities
Matilda Delgado, Damian van de Heisteeg, Sanjay Raman +3
We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of no…
Finite Landscape of 6d N=(1,0) Supergravity
Hee-Cheol Kim, Cumrun Vafa, Kai Xu
We present a bottom-up argument showing that the number of massless fields in six-dimensional quantum gravitational theories with eight supercharges is uniformly bounded. Specifica…
Renormalons as Saddle Points
Arindam Bhattacharya, Jordan Cotler, Aurélien Dersy +1
Instantons and renormalons play important roles at the interface between perturbative and non-perturbative quantum field theory. They are both associated with branch points in the…
Quasinormal Corrections to Near-Extremal Black Hole Thermodynamics
Daniel Kapec, Y. T. Albert Law, Chiara Toldo
Recent work on the quantum mechanics of near-extremal non-supersymmetric black holes has identified a characteristic scaling of the low temperature black hole partition f…
Higher-spin localized shocks
Diandian Wang, Zi-Yue Wang
In the context of AdS/CFT, gravitational shockwaves serve as a geometric manifestation of boundary quantum chaos. We study this connection in general diffeomorphism-invariant theor…
Learning the Simplicity of Scattering Amplitudes
Clifford Cheung, Aurélien Dersy, Matthew D. Schwartz
The simplification and reorganization of complex expressions lies at the core of scientific progress, particularly in theoretical high-energy physics. This work explores the applic…
Monopole Breaking of Chern-Weil Symmetries
Eduardo García-Valdecasas, Matthew Reece, Motoo Suzuki
Gauge theories in dimensions with a nontrivial fundamental group admit a -form magnetic symmetry and a -form instantonic symmetry. These are examples of Chern-Wei…
Hamiltonian Lattice Formulation of Compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons Theory
Changnan Peng, Maria Cristina Diamantini, Lena Funcke +5
In this paper, a Hamiltonian lattice formulation for 2+1D compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory is derived. We analytically solve this theory and demonstrate that the mass gap in the…
Quantizing Carrollian field theories
Jordan Cotler, Kristan Jensen, Stefan Prohazka +3
Carrollian field theories have recently emerged as a candidate dual to flat space quantum gravity. We carefully quantize simple two-derivative Carrollian theories, revealing a stro…

Amineh Mohseni, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa +1
In this note, we propose a generalized notion of distance between vacua in the theory of a scalar field with scalar potential coupled to gravity. We propose the normaliz…
3d Gravity as a random ensemble
Daniel L. Jafferis, Liza Rozenberg, Gabriel Wong
We give further evidence that the matrix-tensor model studied in \cite{belin2023} is dual to AdS gravity including the sum over topologies. This provides a 3D version of the…
