Inverse Problem in Effective Field Theory

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We show that the tree-level spectrum of heavy particles can be directly extracted from the Wilson coefficients of the corresponding effective field theory at low energies. This pro…

Quantizing non-projectable Hořava gravity with Lagrangian path integral

D. Blas, F. Del Porro, M. Herrero-Valea +2

We formulate the quantum version of non-projectable Hořava gravity as a Lagrangian theory with a path integral in the configuration space with an ultra-local in time, but non-local…

Completeness from Gravitational Scattering

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We prove that symmetry in the presence of gravity implies a version of the completeness hypothesis. For a broad class of theories, we demonstrate that the existence of finitely man…

Yang-Baxter structure of the extended space

Kirill Gubarev, Edvard Musaev

We construct an analogue of Yang--Baxter deformations defined by a single Killing vector, that is a solution generating transformation in Einstein--Maxwell dilaton theory. We show…

Strings from Almost Nothing

Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen, Francesco Sciotti +1

We argue that string theory emerges inevitably from a few simple assumptions about physical scattering. Consistency alone requires that all tree-level four-point scattering amplitu…

On massive higher spins and gravity. I. Spin 5/2

Yu. M. Zinoviev

In this paper, we continue our investigation of gravitational interactions for massive higher spins extending our previous work on massive spin 3/2 and spin 2 to massive spin 5/2,…

Partially massless spin 5/2 and supersymmetry

Yu. M. Zinoviev

We elaborate on the partially massless spin 5/2 supermultiplet, which contains partially massless spin 5/2, massless and partially massless spin 2, as well as massless spin 3/2. We…

Semiclassical Backreaction: A Qualitative Assessment

Fabio van Dissel, George Zahariade

The backreaction of quantum degrees of freedom on classical backgrounds is a poorly understood topic in theoretical physics. Most often it is treated within the semiclassical appro…

On the Fradkin-Vasiliev formalism in d=4

Yu. M. Zinoviev

Here we provide a short review on the so-called Fradkin-Vasiliev formalism for the construction of higher spin cubic interactions. Initially it was formulated for the massless fiel…

On massive higher spin supermultiplets in d=4

YU. M. Zinoviev

In this work we discuss the cubic interactions for massless spin 3/2 gravitino with massive higher spin supermultiplets using three superblocks (2,3/2), (5/2,2) and (3,5/2) as the…

Holographic Lifshitz flows

Matteo Baggioli, Oriol Pujolas, Xin-Meng Wu

Without Lorentz symmetry, generic fixed points of the renormalization group (RG) are labelled by their dynamical (or `Lifshitz') exponent . Hence, a rich variety of possible RG…

Cosmological scaling of precursor domain walls

Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Oriol Pujolas, George Zahariade

Domain wall (DW) networks have a large impact on cosmology and present interesting dynamics that can be controlled by various scaling regimes. In the first stage after spontaneous…

Entanglement Entropy and Thermal Phase Transitions from Curvature Singularities

Sergio Barbosa, Sylvain Fichet, Eugenio Megias +1

We study holographic entanglement entropy and revisit thermodynamics and confinement in the dilaton-gravity system. Our analysis focuses on a solvable class of backgrounds that inc…

Holographic Fluids from 5D Dilaton Gravity

Sylvain Fichet, Eugenio Megias, Mariano Quiros

We study a solvable class of five-dimensional dilaton gravity models that continuously interpolate between anti-de Sitter (AdS), linear dilaton (LD) and positively curved s…

Holography of Linear Dilaton Spacetimes from the Bottom Up

Sylvain Fichet, Eugenio Megias, Mariano Quiros

The linear dilaton background is the keystone of a string-derived holographic correspondence beyond AdS/CFT. This motivates an exploration of the -dimensional li…

On hypersymmetry in three dimensioons

Yu. M. Zinoviev

In this work we presented a number of explicit examples for the cubic vertices describing an interaction of massless spin-5/2 field with massive boson and fermion including all hyp…

Oscillon spectroscopy

Fabio van Dissel, Oriol Pujolas, Evangelos Sfakianakis

The sine-Gordon model in 3+1 dimensions is known to admit two oscillons of different energy and frequency but comparable lifetime. We show that the oscillon spectrum includes more…

Spontaneous non-Hermiticity in the (2+1)-dimensional Thirring model

M. M. Gubaeva, T. G. Khunjua, K. G. Klimenko +1

Using the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective action for composite operators ( is the full fermion propagator), the phase structure of the massless (2 + 1)-dimensional Th…

Domain wall annihilation -- a QFT perspective

Oriol Pujolas, George Zahariade

Domain wall networks in the early universe, formed upon spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, have a rich impact on cosmology. Yet, they remain somewhat unexplored. We intro…

UV graviton scattering and positivity bounds from IR dispersion relations

M. Herrero-Valea, A. S. Koshelev, A. Tokareva
