UV completion without symmetry restoration
Solomon Endlich, Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco
We show that it is not possible to UV-complete certain low-energy effective theories with spontaneously broken space-time symmetries by embedding them into linear sigma models, tha…
Spontaneously broken mass
Solomon Endlich, Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco
The Galilei group involves mass as a central charge. We show that the associated superselection rule is incompatible with the observed phenomenology of superfluid helium 4: this is…
On genus expansion of superpolynomials
A. Mironov, A. Morozov, A. Sleptsov +1
Recently it was shown that the (Ooguri-Vafa) generating function of HOMFLY polynomials is the Hurwitz partition function, i.e. that the dependence of the HOMFLY polynomials on repr…
Superluminal Vector in Ghost-free Massive Gravity
Siqing Yu
We present a classical analysis on the issue of vector superluminality in the decoupling limit ghost-free massive gravity with a Minkowski reference metric. We show explicitly in t…
Kaluza-Klein Towers on General Manifolds
Kurt Hinterbichler, Janna Levin, Claire Zukowski
A higher-dimensional universe with compactified extra dimensions admits a four-dimensional description consisting of an infinite Kaluza-Klein tower of fields. We revisit the proble…
Bubble Universe Dynamics After Free Passage
Pontus Ahlqvist, Kate Eckerle, Brian Greene
We consider bubble collisions in single scalar field theories with multiple vacua. Recent work has argued that at sufficiently high impact velocities, collisions between such bubbl…
Finalizing the proof of AGT relations with the help of the generalized Jack polynomials
A. Morozov, A. Smirnov
Original proofs of the AGT relations with the help of the Hubbard-Stratanovich duality of the modified Dotsenko-Fateev matrix model did not work for beta different from one, becaus…
Complementarity + Back-reaction is enough
Lam Hui, I-Sheng Yang
We investigate a recent development of the black hole information problem, in which a practical paradox has been formulated to show that complementarity is insufficient. A crucial…
The squeezed limit of the solid inflation three-point function
Solomon Endlich, Bart Horn, Alberto Nicolis +1
The recently proposed model of 'solid inflation' features a peculiar three-point function for scalar perturbations with an anisotropic, purely quadrupolar, squeezed limit. We confi…
Thermodynamics of large N gauge theory from top down holography
Mohammed Mia
By considering fluxes on D7 branes and explicitly computing their back-reaction on the geometry with and without a black hole, we show how the UV divergence of Klebanov-Strassler m…
Two-loop vacuum energy for Calabi-Yau orbifold models
Eric D'Hoker, Duong H. Phong
A precise evaluation of the two-loop vacuum energy is provided for certain Z_2 x Z_2 Calabi-Yau orbifold models in the Heterotic string. The evaluation is based on the recent gener…
Relativistic Fluids, Superfluids, Solids and Supersolids from a Coset Construction
Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco, Rachel A. Rosen
We provide a systematic coset construction of the effective field theories governing the low-energy dynamics of relativistic fluids and solids, and of their "super" counterparts. T…
Finite momentum at string endpoints
Andrej Ficnar, Steven S. Gubser
We argue that classical strings, both bosonic and supersymmetric, can have finite energy and momentum at their endpoints. We show that in a general curved background, string endpoi…
More on gapped Goldstones at finite density: More gapped Goldstones
Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco, Federico Piazza +1
It was recently argued that certain relativistic theories at finite density can exhibit an unconventional spectrum of Goldstone excitations, with gapped Goldstones whose gap is exa…
On Cosmological Perturbations of Quasidilaton
Guido D'Amico, Gregory Gabadadze, Lam Hui +1
A theory of the quasidilaton is an extension of massive gravity by a scalar field, nonlinearly realizing a certain new global symmetry of the Lagrangian. It has been shown that unl…
An Infinite Set of Ward Identities for Adiabatic Modes in Cosmology
Kurt Hinterbichler, Lam Hui, Justin Khoury
We show that the correlation functions of any single-field cosmological model with constant growing-modes are constrained by an infinite number of novel consistency relations, whic…
On Squeezed Limits in Single-Field Inflation - Part I
Raphael Flauger, Daniel Green, Rafael A. Porto
The n-point correlation functions in single-field inflation obey a set of consistency conditions in the exact squeezed limit which are not present in multi-field models, and thus a…
One-particle-irreducible consistency relations for cosmological perturbations
Walter D. Goldberger, Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis
We derive consistency relations for correlators of scalar cosmological perturbations which hold in the "squeezed limit" in which one or more of the external momenta become soft. Ou…
Tumbling through a landscape: Evidence of instabilities in high-dimensional moduli spaces
Brian Greene, David Kagan, Ali Masoumi +3
We argue that a generic instability afflicts vacua that arise in theories whose moduli space has large dimension. Specifically, by studying theories with multiple scalar fields we…
Behavior of perturbations on spherically symmetric backgrounds in multi-Galileon theory
Sebastian Garcia-Saenz
We consider multi-Galileon theory, the most general Galilean invariant theory with scalar fields linearly coupled to the trace of the stress-energy tensor. We study the behavio…
Evidence for and Obstructions to Non-Linear Partially Massless Gravity
Claudia de Rham, Kurt Hinterbichler, Rachel A. Rosen +1
Non-linear partially massless (PM) gravity, if it exists, is a theory of massive gravity in which the graviton has four propagating degrees of freedom. In PM gravity, a scalar gaug…
