The Most Irrational Rational Theories
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We propose a two-parameter family of modular invariant partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) holographically dual to pure three-dimensional gravity…
Spinning Geodesic Witten Diagrams
Ethan Dyer, Daniel Z. Freedman, James Sully
We present an expression for the four-point conformal blocks of symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin as an integral over a pair of geodesics in Anti-de Sitter space, gen…
2D CFT Partition Functions at Late Times
Ethan Dyer, Guy Gur-Ari
We consider the late time behavior of the analytically continued partition function in holographic CFTs. This is a probe of information loss in such theori…
Small Black Holes and Near-Extremal CFTs
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +2
Pure theories of AdS quantum gravity are conjectured to be dual to CFTs with sparse spectra of light primary operators. The sparsest possible spectrum consistent with modular i…
Universal Bounds on Charged States in 2d CFT and 3d Gravity
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We derive an explicit bound on the dimension of the lightest charged state in two dimensional conformal field theories with a global abelian symmetry. We find that the bound scales…
An Extremal N=2 Superconformal Field Theory
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We provide an example of an extremal chiral superconformal field theory at . The construction is based on a orbifold of the theory associated to…
Scaling dimensions of monopole operators in the theory in dimensions
Ethan Dyer, Márk Mezei, Silviu S. Pufu +1
We study monopole operators at the conformal critical point of the theory in spacetime dimensions. Using the state-operator correspondence and a saddl…
Super-Rényi Entropy & Wilson Loops for N=4 SYM and their Gravity Duals
Michael Crossley, Ethan Dyer, Julian Sonner
We compute the supersymmetric Rényi entropies across a spherical entanglement surface in N=4 SU(N) SYM theory using localization on the four-dimensional ellipsoid. We extract the l…
Monopole Taxonomy in Three-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
Ethan Dyer, Márk Mezei, Silviu S. Pufu
We study monopole operators at the infrared fixed points of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories with N_f fermion flavors in three dimensions. At large N_f, independent monopole…
GLSMs for non-Kahler Geometries
Allan Adams, Ethan Dyer, Jaehoon Lee
We identify a simple mechanism by which H-flux satisfying the modified Bianchi identity arises in garden-variety (0,2) gauged linear sigma models. Taking suitable limits leads to e…
Boundary Terms and Junction Conditions for the DGP Pi-Lagrangian and Galileon
Ethan Dyer, Kurt Hinterbichler
In the decoupling limit of DGP, Pi describes the brane-bending degree of freedom. It obeys second order equations of motion, yet it is governed by a higher derivative Lagrangian. W…
