Yukawa couplings in F-theory as D-brane instanton effects

Andres Collinucci, Iñaki García-Etxebarria

In a weak coupling limit the neighborhood of Yukawa points in GUT F-theory models is described by a non-resolvable orientifold of the conifold. We explicitly show, fi…

Double Field Theory at SL(2) angles

Franz Ciceri, Giuseppe Dibitetto, J. J. Fernandez-Melgarejo +2

An extended field theory is presented that captures the full SL(2) x O(6,6+n) duality group of four-dimensional half-maximal supergravities. The theory has section constraints whos…

On the surface of superfluids

Jay Armas, Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya, Akash Jain +1

Developing on a recent work on localized bubbles of ordinary relativistic fluids, we study the comparatively richer leading order surface physics of relativistic superfluids, coupl…

Chiral Tensors of Mixed Young Symmetry

Marc Henneaux, Victor Lekeu, Amaury Leonard

Chiral tensors of mixed Young symmetry, which exist in the same spacetime dimensions where chiral -forms can be defined, are investigated. Such chiral tensors have been…

Holographic Ward identities for symmetry breaking in two dimensions

Riccardo Argurio, Gaston Giribet, Andrea Marzolla +2

We investigate symmetry breaking in two-dimensional field theories which have a holographic gravity dual. Being at large N, the Coleman theorem does not hold and Goldstone bosons a…

Enhanced Asymptotic Symmetry Algebra of 2+1 Dimensional Flat Space

Stéphane Detournay, Max Riegler

In this paper we present a new set of asymptotic boundary conditions for Einstein gravity in 2+1 dimensions with vanishing cosmological constant that are a generalization of the Ba…

A holographic perspective on phonons and pseudo-phonons

Andrea Amoretti, Daniel Arean, Riccardo Argurio +2

We analyze the concomitant spontaneous breaking of translation and conformal symmetries by introducing in a CFT a complex scalar operator that acquires a spatially dependent expect…

Holography with a Landau pole

Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos, Christiana Pantelidou +1

Holography for UV-incomplete gauge theories is important but poorly understood. A paradigmatic example is , super Yang-Mills coupled to quark flavors, wh…

Collisions of massive particles, timelike thin shells and formation of black holes in three dimensions

Jonathan Lindgren

We study collisions of massive pointlike particles in three dimensional anti-de Sitter space, generalizing the work on massless particles in [1]. We show how to construct exact sol…

Interactions in Higher-Spin Gravity: a Holographic Perspective

Charlotte Sleight

This thesis is an elaboration of recent results on the holographic re-construction of metric-like interactions in higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter space (AdS), employin…

Sneutrino driven GUT Inflation in Supergravity

Tomas E. Gonzalo, Lucien Heurtier, Ahmad Moursy

In this paper, we embed the model of flipped GUT sneutrino inflation -in a flipped SU(5) or SO(10) set up- developed by Ellis et al. in a supergravity framework. The GUT symmetry i…

superconformal theories with blocks

Marco Fazzi, Simone Giacomelli

We study the chiral ring of four-dimensional superconformal field theories obtained by wrapping M5-branes on a complex curve inside a Calabi-Yau three-fold. We propose a field theo…

Twisted self-duality for higher spin gauge fields and prepotentials

Marc Henneaux, Sergio Hörtner, Amaury Leonard

We show that the equations of motion for (free) integer higher spin gauge fields can be formulated as twisted self-duality conditions on the higher spin curvatures of the spin-…

Higher-Spin Algebras, Holography and Flat Space

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

In this article we study the algebra generated by the holographically reconstructed cubic couplings for the type A minimal bosonic higher-spin theory on AdS, which were rec…

Higher-spin charges in Hamiltonian form. I. Bose fields

Andrea Campoleoni, Marc Henneaux, Sergio Hörtner +1

We study asymptotic charges for symmetric massless higher-spin fields on Anti de Sitter backgrounds of arbitrary dimension within the canonical formalism. We first analyse in detai…

Unquenched flavor on the Higgs branch

Anton F. Faedo, David Mateos, Christiana Pantelidou +1

We construct the gravity duals of the Higgs branches of three-dimensional (four-dimensional) super Yang-Mills theories coupled to quark flavors. The effect of the qu…

Gauge Coupling Field, Currents, Anomalies and N=1 Super-Yang-Mills Effective Actions

Nicola Ambrosetti, Daniel Arnold, Jean-Pierre Derendinger +1

Working with a gauge coupling field in a linear superfield, we construct effective Lagrangians for N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory fully compatible with the expected all-order behaviou…

Extended Symmetries at the Black Hole Horizon

Laura Donnay, Gaston Giribet, Hernán A. González +1

We prove that non-extremal black holes in four-dimensional general relativity exhibit an infinite-dimensional symmetry in their near horizon region. By prescribing a physically sen…
