A note on higher-order vertices of higher-spin fields in flat and (A)dS space

Euihun Joung, Massimo Taronna

In this work we classify homogeneous solutions to the Noether procedure in (A)dS for an arbitrary number of external legs and in general dimensions. We also give a review of the co…

Soft Theorems from Compactification

Raffaele Marotta, Mritunjay Verma

We analyze the single subleading soft graviton theorem in dimensions under compactification on . This produces the single soft theorems for the graviton, vector and sc…

The Unique Polyakov Blocks

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

In this work we present a closed form expression for Polyakov blocks in Mellin space for arbitrary spin and scaling dimensions. We provide a prescription to fix the contact term am…

Nonlocal gravity with worldline inversion symmetry

Steven Abel, Luca Buoninfante, Anupam Mazumdar

We construct a quadratic curvature theory of gravity whose graviton propagator around the Minkowski background respects wordline inversion symmetry, the particle approximation to m…

Remark on the synergy between the heat kernel techniques and the parity anomaly

Maxim Kurkov, Lorenzo Leone

In this paper, we demonstrate that not only the heat kernel techniques are useful for computation of the parity anomaly, but also the parity anomaly turns out to be a powerful mean…

Combinatorics of Wilson loops in SYM theory

Wolfgang Mück

The theory of Wilson loops for gauge theories with unitary gauge groups is formulated in the language of symmetric functions. The main objects in this theory are two generating fun…

Lagrangian formulation for electric charge in a magnetic monopole distribution

G. Marmo, Emanuela Scardapane, A. Stern +2

We give a Lagrangian description of an electric charge in a field sourced by a continuous magnetic monopole distribution. The description is made possible thanks to a doubling of t…

Bootstrapping Inflationary Correlators in Mellin Space

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We develop a Mellin space approach to boundary correlation functions in anti-de Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) spaces. Using the Mellin-Barnes representation of correlators in Fou…

Extracting topological information from momentum space propagators

Fabrizio Canfora, David Dudal, Alex Giacomini +3

A new topological invariant quantity, sensitive to the analytic structure of both fermionic and bosonic propagators, is proposed. The gauge invariance of our construct is guarantee…

On the multiloop soft theorem of the dilaton in the bosonic string

Paolo Di Vecchia, Raffaele Marotta, Matin Mojaza

In this note we show that by fixing the multiloop Green function in the closed bosonic string to be Arakelov's Green function, one obtains factorization of scattering amplitudes wi…

Spectral Noncommutative Geometry, Standard Model and all that

Agostino Devastato, Maxim Kurkov, Fedele Lizzi

We review the approach to the standard model of particle interactions based on spectral noncommutative geometry. The paper is (nearly) self-contained and presents both the mathemat…

Note on generating functions and connected correlators of 1/2-BPS Wilson loops in SYM theory

Anthonny F. Canazas Garay, Alberto Faraggi, Wolfgang Mück

The generating functions for the Wilson loops in the symmetric and antisymmetric representations of the gauge group are expressed in terms of the connected correlators of mu…

Quantum Dirac fermions in half space and their interaction with electromagnetic field

I. Fialkovsky, M. Kurkov, D. Vassilevich

We study the polarization tensor of a Dirac field in dimensions confined to a half space -- a problem motivated by applications to the condensed matter physics, and to Topo…

Generalized Supergravity Equations and Generalized Fradkin-Tseytlin Counterterm

Wolfgang Mück

The generalized Fradkin-Tseytlin counterterm for the (type I) Green-Schwarz superstring is determined for background fields satisfying the generalized supergravity equations (GSE).…

Fronsdal fields from gauge functions in Vasiliev's higher-spin gravity

David De Filippi, Carlo Iazeolla, Per Sundell

In this paper, we revisit a number of issues in Vasiliev's theory related to gauge functions, ordering schemes, and the embedding of Fronsdal fields into master fields. First, we p…

Higher spin fluctuations on spinless 4D BTZ black hole

Rodrigo Aros, Carlo Iazeolla, Per Sundell +1

We construct linearized solutions to Vasiliev's four-dimensional higher spin gravity on warped which is an invariant non-rotating BTZ-like bl…

T-Dualities and Doubled Geometry of the Principal Chiral Model

Vincenzo E. Marotta, Franco Pezzella, Patrizia Vitale

The Principal Chiral Model (PCM) defined on the group manifold of SU(2) is here investigated with the aim of getting a further deepening of its relation with Generalized and Double…
