Double Quantization

Giulia Gubitosi, Fedele Lizzi, José Javier Relancio +1

In a quantum gravity theory, it is expected that the classical notion of spacetime disappears, leading to a quantum structure with new properties. A possible way to take into accou…

Bulk area law for boundary entanglement in spin network states: entropy corrections and horizon-like regions from volume correlations

Goffredo Chirco, Eugenia Colafranceschi, Daniele Oriti

For quantum gravity states associated to open spin network graphs, we study how the entanglement entropy of the boundary degrees of freedom (spins on open edges) is affected by the…

More on the Weak Gravity Conjecture via Convexity of Charged Operators

Oleg Antipin, Jahmall Bersini, Francesco Sannino +2

The Weak Gravity Conjecture has recently been re-formulated in terms of a particle with non-negative self-binding energy. Because of the dual conformal field theory (CFT) formulati…

Gravitational effects on neutrino decoherence in Lense-Thirring metric

Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano, Massimo Blasone

We analyze gravity effects on neutrino wave packet decoherence. As a specific example, we consider the gravitational field of a spinning spherical body described by the Lense-Thirr…

From dS to AdS and back

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We describe in more detail the general relation uncovered in our previous work between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space, at any o…

Spontaneous Lorentz symmetry violation from infrared gravity

Fabrizio Illuminati, Gaetano Lambiase, Luciano Petruzziello

In this paper, we investigate a novel implication of the non-negligible spacetime curvature at large distances when its effects are expressed in terms of a suitably modified form o…

More on the cubic versus quartic interaction equivalence in the model

Oleg Antipin, Jahmall Bersini, Francesco Sannino +2

We compute the scaling dimensions of a family of fixed-charge operators at the infrared fixed point of the model featuring cubic interactions in for arbitrary to…

Exact 1/N expansion of Wilson loop correlators in Super-Yang-Mills theory

Wolfgang Mück

Supersymmetric circular Wilson loops in Super-Yang-Mills theory are discussed starting from their Gaussian matrix model representations. Previous results on the gen…

Gribov horizon in Noncommutative QED

Ozório Holanda, Marcelo S. Guimaraes, Luigi Rosa +1

It is known that Noncommutative QED (NCQED) exhibits Gribov ambiguities in the Landau gauge. These ambiguities are related to zero modes of the Faddeev-Popov operator and arise in…

Reparameterization Dependence and Holographic Complexity of Black Holes

Ayoub Mounim, Wolfgang Mück

We refine the calculation of holographic complexity of black holes in the complexity equals action approach by applying the recently introduced criterion that the action of any cau…

On the consistency of (partially-)massless matter couplings in de Sitter space

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We study the consistency of the cubic couplings of a (partially-)massless spinning field to two scalars in -dimensional de Sitter space. Gauge invariance of obser…

A Simple Model of Double Dynamics on Lie Groups

Patrizia Vitale

We study the dynamics of the rigid rotator on the group manifold of SU(2) as an instance of dynamics on Lie groups together with a dual model whose carrier space is the Borel group…

Topological and dynamical aspects of Jacobi sigma models

Francesco Bascone, Franco Pezzella, Patrizia Vitale

The geometric properties of sigma models with target space a Jacobi manifold are investigated. In their basic formulation, these are topological field theories - recently introduce…

Holographic maps from quantum gravity states as tensor networks

Eugenia Colafranceschi, Goffredo Chirco, Daniele Oriti

We define bulk/boundary maps corresponding to quantum gravity states in the tensorial group field theory formalism, for quantum geometric models sharing the same type of quantum st…

q-generalized Tsallis thermostatistics in Unruh effect for mixed fields

Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano, Massimo Blasone

It was shown that the particle distribution detected by a uniformly accelerated observer in the inertial vacuum (Unruh effect) deviates from the pure Planckian spectrum when consid…

Vacuum thermal effects in flat space-time from conformal quantum mechanics

Michele Arzano

The generators of radial conformal symmetries in Minkowski space-time can be mapped to the generators of time evolution in conformal quantum mechanics. Within this correspondence w…

Revisiting Higher-Spin Gyromagnetic Couplings

Raffaele Marotta, Massimo Taronna, Mritunjay Verma

We analyze Bosonic, Heterotic, and Type II string theories compactified on a generic torus having constant moduli. By computing the hamiltonian giving the interaction between massi…

The free and safe fate of symmetry non-restoration

Borut Bajc, Adrian Lugo, Francesco Sannino

We investigate the high temperature fate of four dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories featuring short distance conformality of either interacting or non-interacting nature. The latter…

Flavor vacuum entanglement in boson mixing

Massimo Blasone, Fabrizio Illuminati, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano +1

Mixing transformations in quantum field theory are non-trivial, since they are intimately related to the unitary inequivalence between Fock spaces for fields with definite mass and…

Time Discretization From Noncommutativity

Fedele Lizzi, Patrizia Vitale

We show that a particular noncommutative geometry, sometimes called angular or -Minkowski, requires that the spectrum of time be discrete. In this noncommutative space the time…
