Gravitational Effective Theories with Maximal Supersymmetry and a Peculiar Parity

Justin Berman, Simon Caron-Huot, Aditi V. Chandra +4

The paper investigates possible four‑dimensional UV completions of maximally supersymmetric (𝒩=8) supergravity by imposing tree‑level factorization and a special “peculiar parity”…

String Theory from Maximal Supersymmetry

Henriette Elvang, Aidan Herderschee, Roger Morales

We explore the space of non-gravitational, maximally supersymmetric, planar 4d effective field theories (EFTs) that have super Yang-Mills (SYM) at leading order. In…

Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

Jacqueline Caminiti, Aidan Herderschee

The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula receives significant corrections for charged black holes near extremality. Using standard results in JT gravity, the correctio…

Asymptotic Simplicity and Scattering in General Relativity from Quantum Field Theory

Stefano De Angelis, Aidan Herderschee, Radu Roiban +1

We investigate the fate of asymptotic simplicity in physically relevant settings of compact-object scattering. Using the stress tensor of a two-body system as a source, we compute…

Bounding field excursions along null geodesics with applications to cosmology

Aidan Herderschee, Aron C. Wall

Scalar fields in theories of gravity often inhabit a moduli space of vacua, and coherent spatial or temporal variations in their expectation values can produce measurable gravitati…

Stringy algebras, stretched horizons, and quantum-connected wormholes

Aidan Herderschee, Jonah Kudler-Flam

While the supergravity limit of AdS/CFT has been extensively explored, the regime in which stringy dynamics dominate, characterized by the emergence of an infinite tower of higher-…
