A Deformation for Curved Spacetimes from 3d Gravity

Edward A. Mazenc, Vasudev Shyam, Ronak M Soni

We propose a generalisation of the deformation to curved spaces by defining, and solving, a suitable flow equation for the partition function. We provide evidence it is…

Sphere correlation functions and Verma modules

Davide Gaiotto, Tadashi Okazaki

We propose a universal IR formula for the protected three-sphere correlation functions of Higgs and Coulomb branch operators of supersymmetric quantum field theories w…

Hot Cosmic Qubits: Late-Time de Sitter Evolution and Critical Slowing Down

Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess

Temporal evolution of a comoving qubit coupled to a scalar field in de Sitter space is studied with an emphasis on reliable extraction of late-time behaviour. The phenomenon of cri…

Hot Accelerated Qubits: Decoherence, Thermalization, Secular Growth and Reliable Late-time Predictions

Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess

We compute how an accelerating qubit coupled to a scalar field - i.e. an Unruh-DeWitt detector - evolves in flat space, with an emphasis on its late-time behaviour. When calculable…

Monodromy relations from twisted homology

Eduardo Casali, Sebastian Mizera, Piotr Tourkine

We reformulate the monodromy relations of open-string scattering amplitudes as boundary terms of twisted homologies on the configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces of arbitrary gen…

On Extensions of Kac-Moody algebras and Calabi-Yau Singularities

Miroslav Rapcak

We discuss a class of vertex operator algebras generated by a super-matrix of fields for each integral spin . The algebras admit a lar…
