The Nature of Phantom Dark Energy and its Relation to Time Crystals

Laura Mersini-Houghton

In this letter we show that, at its fundamental level, phantom dark energy is a fluid made up of time crystals that permeate the fabric of space-time. In turn, any well-behaved sta…

Uniformizing Lee-Yang Singularities

Gokce Basar, Gerald Dunne, Zelong Yin

Motivated by the search for the QCD critical point, we discuss how to obtain the singular behavior of a thermodynamic system near a critical point, namely the Lee-Yang singularitie…

Fluctuation dynamics in a relativistic fluid with a critical point

Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov +1

To describe dynamics of bulk and fluctuations near the QCD critical point we develop general relativistic fluctuation formalism for a fluid carrying baryon charge. Feedback of fluc…

Off-Shell CHY Amplitudes and Feynman Graphs

Louise Dolan, Peter Goddard

A polynomial form is established for the off-shell CHY scattering equations proposed by Lam and Yao. Re-expressing this in terms of independent Mandelstam invariants provides a new…

True SYK or (con)sequences

D. V. Khveshchenko

Some generalizations of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and different patterns of their reparametrization symmetry breaking are discussed. The analysis of such (pseudo)holographi…

Doubled aspects of generalised dualities and integrable deformations

Saskia Demulder, Falk Hassler, Daniel C. Thompson

The worldsheet theories that describe Poisson-Lie T-dualisable -models on group manifolds as well as integrable , and -deformations provide examples of -mode…

Nilpotent Networks and 4D RG Flows

Fabio Apruzzi, Falk Hassler, Jonathan J. Heckman +1

Starting from a general SCFT, we study the network of SCFTs obtained from relevant deformations by nilpotent mass parameters. We also study the…

4D Gauge Theories with Conformal Matter

Fabio Apruzzi, Jonathan J. Heckman, David R. Morrison +1

One of the hallmarks of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) is that on a partial tensor branch, all known theories resemble quiver gauge theories with links comprised of 6D co…

AdS/CFT with orientifolds

Fabio Apruzzi, Marco Fazzi

AdS solutions of massive type IIA have been classified, and are dual to a large class of six-dimensional SCFT's whose tensor branch deformations are described by linear…

Poisson-Lie T-Duality in Double Field Theory

Falk Hassler

We present a formulation of Double Field Theory with a Drinfeld double as extended spacetime. It makes Poisson-Lie T-duality (including abelian and non-abelian T-duality as special…

Green-Schwarz Automorphisms and 6D SCFTs

Fabio Apruzzi, Jonathan J. Heckman, Tom Rudelius

All known interacting 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) have a tensor branch which includes anti-chiral two-forms and a corresponding lattice of string charges. Automorphism…
