Celestial Leaf Amplitudes

Walker Melton, Atul Sharma, Andrew Strominger

Celestial amplitudes may be decomposed as weighted integrals of AdS-Witten diagrams associated to each leaf of a hyperbolic foliation of spacetime. We show, for the Kleinian th…

Celestial Quantum Error Correction I: Qubits from Noncommutative Klein Space

Alfredo Guevara, Yangrui Hu

Quantum gravity in 4D asymptotically flat spacetimes features spontaneous symmetry breaking due to soft radiation hair, intimately tied to the proliferation of IR divergences. A ho…

Graviton Mass and Entanglement Islands in Low Spacetime Dimensions

Hao Geng

It has been conjectured and proven that entanglement island is not consistent with long-range (massless) gravity in a large class of spacetimes, including typical asymptotically an…

Celestial Gluon Amplitudes from the Outside In

Walker Melton, Sruthi A. Narayanan

We show that, given a two-dimensional realization of the celestial OPE in self-dual Yang-Mills, we can find a scalar source around which scattering amplitudes replicate correlation…

Entanglement Phase Transition in Holographic Pseudo Entropy

Hiroki Kanda, Taishi Kawamoto, Yu-ki Suzuki +3

In this paper, we present holographic descriptions of entanglement phase transition using AdS/BCFT. First, we analytically calculate the holographic pseudo entropy in the AdS/BCFT…

Topological aspects of brane fields: solitons and higher-form symmetries

Salvatore D. Pace, Yu Leon Liu

In this note, we classify topological solitons of -brane fields, which are nonlocal fields that describe -dimensional extended objects. We consider a class of -brane field…

Logarithmic Corrections to Kerr Thermodynamics

Daniel Kapec, Ahmed Sheta, Andrew Strominger +1

Recent work has shown that loop corrections from massless particles generate corrections to black hole entropy which dominate the thermodynamic…

Finite-Temperature Instantons from First Principles

Thomas Steingasser, Morgane König, David I. Kaiser

We derive the finite-temperature quantum-tunneling rate from first principles. The rate depends on both real- and imaginary-time; we demonstrate that the relevant instantons should…

Rolling tachyon and the Phase Space of Open String Field Theory

Minjae Cho, Ben Mazel, Xi Yin

We construct the symplectic form on the covariant phase space of the open string field theory on a ZZ-brane in c=1 string theory, and determine the energy of the rolling tachyon so…

Zero Modes of Massive Fermions Delocalize from Axion Strings

Hengameh Bagherian, Katherine Fraser, Samuel Homiller +1

Massless chiral excitations can arise from the interactions between a fermion and an axion string, propagating along the string and allowing it to superconduct. The properties of t…

Anomalies of Non-Invertible Symmetries in (3+1)d

Clay Cordova, Po-Shen Hsin, Carolyn Zhang

Anomalies of global symmetries are important tools for understanding the dynamics of quantum systems. We investigate anomalies of non-invertible symmetries in 3+1d using 4+1d bulk…

Decoding stringy near-supersymmetric black holes

Chi-Ming Chang, Li Feng, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1

Building on the recent discovery of the first candidate black hole operator in super-Yang-Mills, we explore the near-supersymmetric aspects of the theory that captu…

Constraining braneworlds with entanglement entropy

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

We propose swampland criteria for braneworlds viewed as effective field theories of defects coupled to semiclassical gravity. We do this by exploiting their holographic interpretat…

All-order celestial OPE from on-shell recursion

Lecheng Ren, Anders Schreiber, Atul Sharma +1

We determine tree level, all-order celestial operator product expansions (OPEs) of gluons and gravitons in the maximally helicity violating (MHV) sector. We start by obtaining the…

Classification of chiral fermionic CFTs of central charge

Philip Boyle Smith, Ying-Hsuan Lin, Yuji Tachikawa +1

We classify two-dimensional purely chiral conformal field theories which are defined on two-dimensional surfaces equipped with spin structure and have central charge less than or e…

Categorical Symmetry of the Standard Model from Gravitational Anomaly

Pavel Putrov, Juven Wang

In the Standard Model, some combination of the baryon and lepton number symmetry is free of mixed anomalies with strong and electroweak $su(3) \times su(2) \times u…

Non-Supersymmetric AdS from String Theory

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Daniel Robbins, Savdeep Sethi

We construct non-supersymmetric AdS3 solutions of the O(16)xO(16) heterotic string. Most of the backgrounds have a classical worldsheet definition but are quantum string vacua in t…
