Mesons from (non) Abelian T-dual backgrounds

Georgios Itsios, Carlos Nunez, Dimitrios Zoakos

In this work we study mesonic excitations in a Quantum Field Theory dual to the non Abelian T-dual of , using a D6 brane probe on the Sfetsos-Thompson background.…

TASI lectures on AdS/CFT

Joao Penedones

We introduce the AdS/CFT correspondence as a natural extension of QFT in a fixed AdS background. We start by reviewing some general concepts of CFT, including the embedding space f…

The S-matrix Bootstrap II: Two Dimensional Amplitudes

Miguel F. Paulos, Joao Penedones, Jonathan Toledo +2

We consider constraints on the S-matrix of any gapped, Lorentz invariant quantum field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions due to crossing symmetry and unitarity. In this way we establish r…

The S-matrix Bootstrap I: QFT in AdS

Miguel F. Paulos, Joao Penedones, Jonathan Toledo +2

We propose a strategy to study massive Quantum Field Theory (QFT) using conformal bootstrap methods. The idea is to consider QFT in hyperbolic space and study correlation functions…

D3-D5 theories with unquenched flavors

Eduardo Conde, Hai Lin, Jose Manuel Penin +2

We construct the string duals of the defect theories generated when N_f flavor D5-branes intersect N_c color D3-branes along a 2+1 dimensional subspace. We work in the Veneziano li…

Suppression of two-bounce windows in kink-antikink collisions

F. C. Simas, Adalto R. Gomes, K. Z. Nobrega +1

We consider a class of topological defects in -dimensions with a deformed kink structure whose stability analysis leads to a Schrödinger-like equation with a zero-mode…

Holographic anyonization: A systematic approach

Matthias Ihl, Niko Jokela, Tobias Zingg

Anyons have garnered substantial interest theoretically as well as experimentally. Due to the intricate nature of their interactions, however, even basic notions such as the equati…

Radial expansion for spinning conformal blocks

Miguel S. Costa, Tobias Hansen, João Penedones +1

This paper develops a method to compute any bosonic conformal block as a series expansion in the optimal radial coordinate introduced by Hogervorst and Rychkov. The method reduces…

Projectors and seed conformal blocks for traceless mixed-symmetry tensors

Miguel S. Costa, Tobias Hansen, João Penedones +1

In this paper we derive the projectors to all irreducible SO(d) representations (traceless mixed-symmetry tensors) that appear in the partial wave decomposition of a conformal corr…

Defects in conformal field theory

Marco Billò, Vasco Gonçalves, Edoardo Lauria +1

We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of sy…
