Astrophysical aspects of string compactifications
Mario Ramos-Hamud
A generic aspect of low-energy effective field theories (EFTs) coming from string compactifications is the appearance of moduli fields. Among these moduli, the axion and dilaton ar…
Giant Gravitons, Fermionic Forms and Vertex Algebras
Nick Dorey, Paul Luis Roehl
We investigate the mathematical and physical content of the giant graviton expansion of three-dimensional superconformal field theories in a simplifying limit. We u…
Dynamical entropy of charged black objects
Manus R. Visser, Zihan Yan
We develop a general framework for electromagnetic potential-charge contributions to the first law of black hole mechanics, applicable to dynamical first-order perturbations of sta…
Non-Commutative Gauge Theory at the Beach
Roland Bittleston, Simon Heuveline, Surya Raghavendran +1
The KP equation is perhaps the most famous example of a three-dimensional integrable system. Here we show that a non-commutative five-dimensional Chern-Simons theory living on the…
Quantum chaos and pole skipping in two-dimensional conformal perturbation theory
Curtis T. Asplund, Sebastian Fischetti, Alexandra Miller +1
We analyze pole skipping of stress tensor two-point functions in two-dimensional quantum field theories perturbed away from conformality by a relevant deformation. The retarded two…
Gravitational Entropy
Sangmin Choi, Malcolm J. Perry
We formulate the classical gravitational entropy of a horizon as a Noether charge that does not require the notion of a temperature, and which is applicable to horizons that are no…
Medicine show: A Calogero model with principal series states
Tarek Anous, Jackson R. Fliss, Jeremy van der Heijden
The Calogero model is an interacting, -particle, -invariant quantum mechanics, whose Hilbert space is furnished by a tower of discrete series modules…
A spool for every quotient: One-loop partition functions in AdS gravity
Robert Bourne, Jackson R. Fliss, Bob Knighton
The Wilson spool is a prescription for expressing one-loop determinants as topological line operators in three-dimensional gravity. We extend this program to describe massive spinn…
Near-extremal dynamics away from the horizon
Alejandra Castro, Robinson Mancilla, Ioannis Papadimitriou
Near-extremal black holes are usually studied by zooming into the throat that describes their near-horizon geometry. Within this throat, one can argue that two-dimensional JT gravi…
EFT Corrections to Charged Black Hole Quasinormal Modes
William L. Boyce, Jorge E. Santos
We study the impact of higher-derivative corrections from Effective Field Theory on the quasinormal mode spectrum of Reissner-Nordström black holes. While previous work has explore…
A Charge Constraint in BMN
Yoav Zigdon
I derive a new charge constraint in -BPS sectors of the Berenstein, Maldacena, and Nastase (BMN) supersymmetric, gauged matrix quantum mechanics. It was previo…
On the Asymptotic Nature of Cosmological Effective Theories
Carlos Duaso Pueyo, Harry Goodhew, Ciaran McCulloch +1
Much of our intuition about Effective Field Theories (EFTs) stems from their formulation in flat spacetime, yet EFTs have become indispensable tools in cosmology, where time-depend…
A Match Made in Heaven: Linking Observables in Inflationary Cosmology
David Stefanyszyn, Xi Tong, Yuhang Zhu
Cosmological correlation functions of inflaton and graviton perturbations are the fundamental observables of early universe cosmology and remain a primary target for observations.…
Comparing top-down and bottom-up holographic defects and boundaries
William Harvey, Kristan Jensen, Takahiro Uzu
In this work we consider domain walls and end-of-the-world branes in AdS/CFT, holographically dual to codimension-one conformal defects and conformal boundaries respectively. In th…
Statistical Physics of the Polarised IKKT Matrix Model
Sean A. Hartnoll, Jun Liu
The polarised IKKT matrix model is the worldpoint theory of D-instantons in a background three-form flux of magnitude , and promises to be a highly tractable model of hologr…
Massive fields and Wilson spools in JT gravity
Jackson R. Fliss
We give a prescription for minimally coupling massive matter to JT gravity with either sign of cosmological constant directly in its formulation as a topological BF theory. This co…
Symmetric Product Orbifold Universality and the Mirage of an Emergent Spacetime
Alexandre Belin, Suzanne Bintanja, Alejandra Castro +1
We study thermal two-point functions and four-point functions involving two heavy twisted operators and two light probes in symmetric product orbifolds. We identify cases where the…
Supersymmetric Grey Galaxies, Dual Dressed Black Holes and the Superconformal Index
Sunjin Choi, Diksha Jain, Seok Kim +5
Motivated by the recent construction of grey galaxy and Dual Dressed Black Hole solutions in , we present two conjectures relating to the large entropy of supe…
Modular Features of Superstring Scattering Amplitudes: Generalised Eisenstein Series and Theta Lifts
Daniele Dorigoni, Michael B. Green, Congkao Wen
In previous papers it has been shown that the coefficients of terms in the large- expansion of a certain integrated four-point correlator of superconformal primary operators in…
Anatomy of information scrambling and decoherence in the integrable Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model
Antonio M. García-García, Chang Liu, Lucas Sá +2
The growth of information scrambling, captured by out-of-time-order correlation functions (OTOCs), is a central indicator of the nature of many-body quantum dynamics. Here, we comp…
An Open Effective Field Theory for light in a medium
Santiago Agui Salcedo, Thomas Colas, Enrico Pajer
In many scenarios of interest, a quantum system interacts with an unknown environment, necessitating the use of open quantum system methods to capture dissipative effects and envir…
Visions in Quantum Gravity
Luca Buoninfante, Benjamin Knorr, K. Sravan Kumar +36
To deepen our understanding of Quantum Gravity and its connections with black holes and cosmology, building a common language and exchanging ideas across different approaches is cr…
The UV Sensitivity of Axion Monodromy Inflation
Enrico Pajer, Dong-Gang Wang, Bowei Zhang
We revisit axion monodromy inflation in the context of UV-inspired models and point out that its cosmological observables are sensitive to heavy fields with masses far above the Hu…
Giant Gravitons and Volume Minimisation
Heng-Yu Chen, Nick Dorey, Sanefumi Moriyama +2
We establish a precise correspondence between the giant graviton expansion of the superconformal index of field theories in , and the master volume formalism of Gauntlett,…
