Holographic duality from Howe duality: Chern-Simons gravity as an ensemble of code CFTs
Anatoly Dymarsky, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak
We discuss the holographic correspondence between 3d "Chern-Simons gravity" and an ensemble of 2d Narain code CFTs. Starting from 3d abelian Chern-Simons theory, we construct an en…
Causality bounds from charged shockwaves in 5d
Sera Cremonini, Brian McPeak, Mohammad Moezzi +1
Effective field theories are constrained by the requirement that their constituents never move superluminally on non-trivial backgrounds. In this paper, we study time delays experi…
Positivity Bounds on Massive Vectors
Francesco Bertucci, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak +3
In this paper, we explore positivity bounds for the effective field theory~(EFT) of a single weakly coupled massive vector field. The presence of both mass and spin makes the cross…
Electric shocks: bounding Einstein-Maxwell theory with time delays on boosted RN backgrounds
Sera Cremonini, Brian McPeak, Yuezhang Tang
The requirement that particles propagate causally on non-trivial backgrounds implies interesting constraints on higher-derivative operators. This work is part of a systematic study…
Adding subtractions: comparing the impact of different Regge behaviors
Brian McPeak, Marco Venuti, Alessandro Vichi
Dispersion relations let us leverage the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes to derive constraints such as bounds on EFT coefficients. An important input is the large-energ…
Averaging over codes and an modular bootstrap
Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak
Error-correcting codes are known to define chiral 2d lattice CFTs where all the symmetries are enhanced to . In this paper, we extend this construction to a broader c…
