Comments Concerning a Hypothetical Mesoscopic Dark Dimension
John H. Schwarz
Motivated by string-theoretic swampland conjectures, the existence of a dark fifth dimension, whose size is roughly 1 -- 10 microns, has been proposed. A great deal of supporting e…
Diffeomorphism Symmetry in Two Dimensions and Celestial Holography
John H. Schwarz
Two-dimensional diffeomorphism symmetry can be described by an operator algebra extension of the well-known Virasoro algebra description of conformal symmetry. Utilizing this exten…
The Superstring
John H. Schwarz
The duality between the type IIB superstring theory in an background with units of five-form flux and super Yang--Mills theory with a ga…
M5-Brane Amplitudes
John H. Schwarz
The dynamics of a probe M5-brane, embedded as a hypersurface in eleven-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, is described by a six-dimensional world-volume theory. This theory has a var…
Unified Formalism for 6D Superamplitudes Based on a Symplectic Grassmannian
John H. Schwarz, Congkao Wen
Recently, twistor-like formulations of tree amplitudes involving massless particles have been proposed for various 6D supersymmetric theories. The formulas are based on two dif…
All Tree Amplitudes of 6D Supergravity: Interacting Tensor Multiplets and the Moduli Space
Matthew Heydeman, John H. Schwarz, Congkao Wen +1
We present a twistor-like formula for the complete tree-level S matrix of 6D supergravity coupled to abelian tensor multiplets. This is the low-energy effective theory…
