Observations on BPS observables in 6d
Nadav Drukker, Maxime Trépanier
We study possible geometries and R-symmetry breaking patterns that lead to globally BPS surface operators in the six dimensional theory. We find four main class…
Defect CFT techniques in the 6d theory
Nadav Drukker, Malte Probst, Maxime Trépanier
Surface operators are among the most important observables of the 6d theory. Here we apply the tools of defect CFT to study local operator insertions into the…
Surface operators in the 6d theory
Nadav Drukker, Malte Probst, Maxime Trépanier
The 6d theory has natural surface operator observables, which are akin in many ways to Wilson loops in gauge theories. We propose a definition of a "locally BPS…
Consistency of Scalar Potentials from Quantum de Sitter Space
José R. Espinosa, Jean-François Fortin, Maxime Trépanier
Consistency of the unconventional view of de Sitter space as a quantum theory of gravity with a finite number of degrees of freedom requires that Coleman-De Luccia tunneling rates…
