Black Holes in Klein Space

Erin Crawley, Alfredo Guevara, Noah Miller +1

The analytic continuation of the general signature Lorentzian Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes to signature Kleinian black holes is studied. Their global structure is char…

The Hitchhiker's Guide to 4d Superconformal Field Theories

Mohammad Akhond, Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Alessandro Mininno +4

Superconformal field theory with supersymmetry in four dimensional spacetime provides a prime playground to study strongly coupled phenomena in quantum field theory…

Gauge Enhanced Quantum Criticality Between Grand Unifications: Categorical Higher Symmetry Retraction

Juven Wang, Yi-Zhuang You

Prior work [arXiv:2106.16248] shows that the Standard Model (SM) naturally arises near a gapless quantum critical region between Georgi-Glashow (GG) and Pati-Salam (PS) $su…

Celestial Operator Product Expansions and Symmetry for All Spins

Elizabeth Himwich, Monica Pate, Kyle Singh

The operator product expansion of massless celestial primary operators of arbitrary spin is investigated. Poincaré symmetry is found to imply a set of recursion relations on the op…

Exact quantization and analytic continuation

Barak Gabai, Xi Yin

In this paper we give a streamlined derivation of the exact quantization condition (EQC) on the quantum periods of the Schrödinger problem in one dimension with a general polynomia…

Shadows and Soft Exchange in Celestial CFT

Daniel Kapec, Prahar Mitra

We study exponentiated soft exchange in dimensional gauge and gravitational theories using the celestial CFT formalism. These models exhibit spontaneously broken asymptotic s…

Fractons and exotic symmetries from branes

Hao Geng, Shamit Kachru, Andreas Karch +2

The emerging study of fractons, a new type of quasi-particle with restricted mobility, has motivated the construction of several classes of interesting continuum quantum field theo…

The anomaly that was not meant IIB

Arun Debray, Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman +1

Type IIB supergravity enjoys a discrete non-Abelian duality group, which has potential quantum anomalies. In this paper we explicitly compute these, and present the bordism group t…

Inconsistency of Islands in Theories with Long-Range Gravity

Hao Geng, Andreas Karch, Carlos Perez-Pardavila +4

In ordinary gravitational theories, any local bulk operator in an entanglement wedge is accompanied by a long-range gravitational dressing that extends to the asymptotic part of th…

String correlators on : Four-point functions

Andrea Dei, Lorenz Eberhardt

We propose a closed-form formula for genus 0 four-point functions in string theory with pure NS-NS flux including arbitrary amounts of spectral flow. Our formula pas…

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…

Celestial IR divergences and the effective action of supertranslation modes

Kevin Nguyen, Jakob Salzer

Infrared divergences in perturbative gravitational scattering amplitudes have been recently argued to be governed by the two-point function of the supertranslation Goldstone mode o…

Wormholes and black hole microstates in AdS/CFT

Jordan Cotler, Kristan Jensen

It has long been known that the coarse-grained approximation to the black hole density of states can be computed using classical Euclidean gravity. In this work we argue for anothe…

Holographic BCFTs and Communicating Black Holes

Hao Geng, Severin Lüst, Rashmish K. Mishra +1

We study the AdS/BCFT duality between two-dimensional conformal field theories with two boundaries and three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with two Karch-Randall branes. We comp…

Non-Invertible Global Symmetries and Completeness of the Spectrum

Ben Heidenreich, Jacob McNamara, Miguel Montero +3

It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spect…

Anomalies from correlation functions in defect conformal field theory

Christopher P. Herzog, Itamar Shamir

In previous work, we showed that an anomaly in the one point function of marginal operators is related by the Wess-Zumino condition to the Euler density anomaly on a two dimensiona…

Global First Laws of Accelerating Black Holes

Adam Ball

We generalize the first law of black hole mechanics to the rotating, charged C-metric and to the Ernst metric, both of which have the charged C-metric as a special case. All of the…

Superradiance in String Theory

Viraf M. Mehta, Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long +3

We perform an extensive analysis of the statistics of axion masses and interactions in compactifications of type IIB string theory, and we show that black hole superradiance exclud…

Holographic Symmetry Algebras for Gauge Theory and Gravity

Alfredo Guevara, Elizabeth Himwich, Monica Pate +1

All 4D gauge and gravitational theories in asymptotically flat spacetimes contain an infinite number of non-trivial symmetries. They can be succinctly characterized by generalized…
