How Gaussian can our Universe be?
Giovanni Cabass, Enrico Pajer, Fabian Schmidt
Gravity is a non-linear theory, and hence, barring cancellations, the initial super-horizon perturbations produced by inflation must contain some minimum amount of mode coupling, o…
Holographic Thermalization and Generalized Vaidya-AdS Solutions in Massive Gravity
Ya-Peng Hu, Xiao-Xiong Zeng, Hai-Qing Zhang
We investigate the effect of massive graviton on the holographic thermalization process. Before doing this, we first find out the generalized Vaidya-AdS solutions in the de Rham-Ga…
Matrix Quantum Mechanics on
Panagiotis Betzios, Umut Gürsoy, Olga Papadoulaki
We study Matrix Quantum Mechanics on the Euclidean time orbifold . Upon Wick rotation to Lorentzian time and taking the double-scaling limit this theory provides…
Inverse Magnetic Catalysis from improved Holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit
Umut Gürsoy, Ioannis Iatrakis, Matti Järvinen +1
We study the dependence of the chiral condensate on external magnetic field in the context of holographic QCD at large number of flavors. We consider a holographic QCD model where…
Correlation functions in theories with Lifshitz scaling
Ville Keranen, Watse Sybesma, Phillip Szepietowski +1
The 2+1 dimensional quantum Lifshitz model can be generalised to a class of higher dimensional free field theories that exhibit Lifshitz scaling. When the dynamical critical expone…
Higgs-otic Inflation and Moduli Stabilization
Sjoerd Bielleman, Luis E. Ibanez, Francisco G. Pedro +2
We study closed-string moduli stabilization in Higgs-otic inflation in Type IIB orientifold backgrounds with fluxes. In this setup large-field inflation is driven by the vacuum ene…
Exceptional theories
Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Diego Regalado
We present a new construction of four dimensional theories, given by M5 branes wrapping a in an M-theory U-fold background. The resulting setup generalizes the…
Siegel Modular Forms and Black Hole Entropy
Alexandre Belin, Alejandra Castro, Joao Gomes +1
We discuss the application of Siegel Modular Forms to Black Hole entropy counting. The role of the Igusa cusp form in the D1D5P system is well-known, and its transformatio…
Supersymmetric Casimir Energy and Transformations
Frederic Brünner, Diego Regalado, Vyacheslav P. Spiridonov
We provide a recipe to extract the supersymmetric Casimir energy of theories defined on primary Hopf surfaces directly from the superconformal index. It involves an $\mathrm{SL(3,\…
Backreaction Issues in Axion Monodromy and Minkowski 4-forms
Irene Valenzuela
We clarify the differences between the usual Kaloper-Sorbo description of axion monodromy and the effective axionic potential in terms of Minkowski 4-forms derived in string compac…
The Conformal Limit of Inflation in the Era of CMB Polarimetry
Enrico Pajer, Guilherme L. Pimentel, Jaap V. S. Van Wijck
We argue that the non-detection of primordial tensor modes has taught us a great deal about the primordial universe. In single-field slow-roll inflation, the current upper bound on…
Construction of all N=4 conformal supergravities
Daniel Butter, Franz Ciceri, Bernard de Wit +1
All N=4 conformal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are constructed. These are the only N=4 supergravity theories whose actions are invariant under off-shell supersymmet…
The Black Hole S-Matrix from Quantum Mechanics
Panagiotis Betzios, Nava Gaddam, Olga Papadoulaki
We revisit the old black hole S-Matrix construction and its new partial wave expansion of 't Hooft. Inspired by old ideas from non-critical string theory & Matrix Quantum Mec…
Shift-symmetries and gauge coupling functions in orientifolds and F-theory
Pierre Corvilain, Thomas W. Grimm, Diego Regalado
We investigate the field dependence of the gauge coupling functions of four-dimensional Type IIB orientifold and F-theory compactifications with space-time filling seven-branes. In…
The role of conformal symmetry in gravity and the standard model
Stefano Lucat, Tomislav Prokopec
In this paper we consider conformal symmetry in the context of manifolds with general affine connection. We extend the conformal transformation law of the metric to a general metri…
Holographic equilibration in confining gauge theories under external magnetic fields
Tuna Demircik, Umut Gursoy
We investigate the effect of external magnetic fields on equilibration in the improved holographic QCD theory in the deconfined phase using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particula…
Nature's Book Keeping System
Gerard t Hooft
Establishing how one should describe and study natures fundamental degrees of freedom is a notoriously difficult problem. It is tempting to assume that the number of bits (or qubit…
Reflections on the renormalization procedure for gauge theories
Gerard t Hooft
Various pieces of insight were needed to formulate the rules for working with gauge theories of the electro-magnetic, weak and strong forces. First, it was needed to understand how…
Computing black hole partition functions from quasinormal modes
Peter Arnold, Phillip Szepietowski, Diana Vaman
We propose a method of computing one-loop determinants in black hole spacetimes (with emphasis on asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes) that may be used for numerics when comp…
Black hole collapse and democratic models
Aron Jansen, Javier M. Magan
We study the evolution of black hole entropy and temperature in collapse scenarios, finding three generic lessons. First, entropy evolution is extensive. Second, at large times, en…
A magnetically induced quantum phase transition in holography
A. Gnecchi, U. Gursoy, O. Papadoulaki +1
We investigate quantum phase transitions in a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory at finite chemical potential and magnetic field . The gravity dual is based on 4D …
Bound states of spinning black holes in five dimensions
P. Marcos Crichigno, Flavio Porri, Stefan Vandoren
We find and study supergravity BPS bound states of five-dimensional spinning black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime. These solutions follow from multi-string solutions in six…

Umut Gürsoy, Aron Jansen, Wilke van der Schee
We present fully dynamical solutions to Einstein-scalar theory in asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter spacetime with a scalar potential containing particularly rich physics. Depending on…
Elliptic genera from multi-centers
Nava Gaddam
I show how elliptic genera for various Calabi-Yau threefolds may be understood from supergravity localization using the quantization of the phase space of certain multi-center conf…
