Holographic Constraints on a Vector Boson

Manuela Kulaxizi, Rakibur Rahman

We show that holography poses non-trivial restrictions on various couplings of an interacting field. For a vector boson in the AdS Reissner-Nordstrom background, the dual boundary…

Field Theory Interpretation of N=2 Stringy Instantons

Riccardo Argurio, Davide Forcella, Alberto Mariotti +2

We consider stringy instanton contributions to the prepotential of low-energy N=2 theories engineered by D-brane set ups at orbifold and orientifold singularities. We show that suc…

Three-dimensional Bondi-Metzner-Sachs invariant two-dimensional field theories as the flat limit of Liouville theory

Glenn Barnich, Andrés Gomberoff, Hernán A. González

In the gravitational context, Liouville theory is the two-dimensional conformal field theory that controls the boundary dynamics of asymptotically AdS_3 spacetimes at the classical…

On Holographic Entanglement Entropy of Charged Matter

Manuela Kulaxizi, Andrei Parnachev, Koenraad Schalm

We study holographic entanglement entropy in the background of charged dilatonic black holes which can be viewed as holographic duals of certain finite density states of N=4 super…

Duality invariance implies Poincare invariance

Claudio Bunster, Marc Henneaux

We consider all possible dynamical theories which evolve two transverse vector fields out of a three-dimensional Euclidean hyperplane, subject to only two assumptions: (i) the evol…

Supersymmetric electric-magnetic duality as a manifest symmetry of the action for super-Maxwell theory and linearized supergravity

Claudio Bunster, Marc Henneaux

For the free massless spin-one and spin-two field theories one may write the action in a form which is manifestly invariant under electric-magnetic duality. This is achieved by int…

Exploring Holographic General Gauge Mediation

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro +2

We study models of gauge mediation with strongly coupled hidden sectors, employing a hard wall background as an holographic dual description. The structure of the soft spectrum dep…

Entropy of three-dimensional asymptotically flat cosmological solutions

Glenn Barnich

The thermodynamics of three-dimensional asymptotically flat cosmological solutions that play the same role than the BTZ black holes in the anti-de Sitter case is derived and explai…

Gravitational Electric-Magnetic Duality, Gauge Invariance and Twisted Self-Duality

Claudio Bunster, Marc Henneaux, Sergio Hörtner

The concept of electric-magnetic duality can be extended to linearized gravity. It has indeed been established that in four dimensions, the Pauli-Fierz action (quadratic part of th…

Emergent Space and the Example of AdS_5XS^5

Frank Ferrari

We explain how to build field theoretic observables from which the geometrical properties of a dual holographic formulation can be read off straightforwardly. In some cases this co…

Holographic Correlators for General Gauge Mediation

Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro +2

We use holographic techniques to compute two-point functions of operators belonging to a conserved current supermultiplet in theories which break supersymmetry at strong coupling.…

Higher-Spin Fermionic Gauge Fields and Their Electromagnetic Coupling

Marc Henneaux, Gustavo Lucena Gomez, Rakibur Rahman

We study the electromagnetic coupling of massless higher-spin fermions in flat space. Under the assumptions of locality and Poincare invariance, we employ the BRST-BV cohomological…

Super-W(infinity) Asymptotic Symmetry of Higher-Spin AdS(3) Supergravity

Marc Henneaux, Gustavo Lucena Gómez, Jaesung Park +1

We consider (2+1)-dimensional (N, M)-extended higher-spin anti-de Sitter supergravity and study its asymptotic symmetries. The theory is described by the Chern-Simons action based…

On Flux Quantization in F-Theory II: Unitary and Symplectic Gauge Groups

Andres Collinucci, Raffaele Savelli

We study the quantization of the M-theory G-flux on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds with singularities giving rise to unitary and symplectic gauge groups. We seek and fin…

Integrability on the Master Space

Antonio Amariti, Davide Forcella, Alberto Mariotti

It has been recently shown that every SCFT living on D3 branes at a toric Calabi-Yau singularity surprisingly also describes a complete integrable system. In this paper we use the…

Algebraic description of G-flux in F-theory: new techniques for F-theory phenomenology

A. P. Braun, A. Collinucci, R. Valandro

We give a global algebraic description of the four-form flux in F-theory. We present how to compute its D3-tadpole and how to calculate the number of four-dimensional chiral states…

Borcherds and Kac-Moody extensions of simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras

Jakob Palmkvist

We study the Borcherds superalgebra obtained by adding an odd (fermionic) null root to the set of simple roots of a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra. We compare it to the Kac-…

Freezing E3-brane instantons with fluxes

Massimo Bianchi, Andres Collinucci, Luca Martucci

E3-instantons that generate non-perturbative superpotentials in IIB N=1 compactifications are more frequent than currently believed. Worldvolume fluxes will typically lift the E3-b…
