The Self-Duality Equations on a Riemann Surface and Four-Dimensional Chern-Simons Theory

Roland Bittleston, Lionel Mason, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian

We construct a Lagrangian formulation of Hitchin's self-duality equations on a Riemann surface using potentials for the connection and Higgs field. This two-dimensional action…

Hyperbolic Monopoles, (Semi-)Holomorphic Chern-Simons Theories, and Generalized Chiral Potts Models

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Masahito Yamazaki, Yehao Zhou

We study the relation between spectral data of magnetic monopoles in hyperbolic space and the curve of the spectral parameter of generalized chiral Potts models (gCPM) through the…

On the Definition of the Spin Charge in Asymptotically-Flat Spacetimes

Laurent Freidel, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Daniele Pranzetti

We propose a solution to a classic problem in gravitational physics consisting of defining the spin associated with asymptotically-flat spacetimes. We advocate that the correct asy…

Elliptic Stable Envelopes for Certain Non-Symplectic Varieties and Dynamical -Matrices for Superspin Chains from the Bethe/Gauge Correspondence

Nafiz Ishtiaque, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Yehao Zhou

We generalize Aganagic-Okounkov's theory of elliptic stable envelopes, and its physical realization in Dedushenko-Nekrasov's and Bullimore-Zhang's works, to certain varieties witho…

Matrix Quantization of Gravitational Edge Modes

William Donnelly, Laurent Freidel, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian +1

Gravitational subsystems with boundaries carry the action of an infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra, with potentially profound implications for the quantum theory of gravity. We…

Topological Holography: Towards a Unification of Landau and Beyond-Landau Physics

Heidar Moradi, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Apoorv Tiwari

We outline a holographic framework that attempts to unify Landau and beyond-Landau paradigms of quantum phases and phase transitions. Leveraging a modern understanding of symmetrie…

2d BF Theory Coupled to 1d Quantum Mechanics: The Phase Space and Its Quantization

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Yehao Zhou

We study the ring of functions on the (classical and quantized) phase space of 2-dimensional BF theory with the gauge group coupled to a 1-dimensional quantum mecha…

Superspin chains from superstring theory

Nafiz Ishtiaque, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Surya Raghavendran +1

We present a correspondence between two-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and rational integrable spin chains with spin variables…

Gravitational Edge Modes, Coadjoint Orbits, and Hydrodynamics

William Donnelly, Laurent Freidel, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian +1

The phase space of general relativity in a finite subregion is characterized by edge modes localized at the codimension-2 boundary, transforming under an infinite-dimensional group…

On the Existence of Heterotic-String and Type-II-Superstring Field Theory Vertices

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Yehao Zhou

We consider two problems associated to the space of Riemann surfaces that are closely related to string theory. We first consider the problem of existence of heterotic-string and t…

Superstring Field Theory with Open and Closed Strings

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Ashoke Sen, Mritunjay Verma

We construct Lorentz invariant and gauge invariant 1PI effective action for closed and open superstrings and demonstrate that it satisfies the classical BV master equation. We also…

Topological Holography: The Example of The D2-D4 Brane System

Nafiz Ishtiaque, Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Yehao Zhou

We propose a toy model for holographic duality. The model is constructed by embedding a stack of D2-branes and D4-branes (with one dimensional intersection) in a 6D topolog…

Hyperbolic Geometry and Closed Bosonic String Field Theory II: The Rules for Evaluating the Quantum BV Master Action

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Roji Pius

The quantum Batalian-Vilkovisky master action for closed string field theory consists of kinetic term and infinite number of interaction terms. The interaction strengths (coupling…

Hyperbolic Geometry and Closed Bosonic String Field Theory I: The String Vertices Via Hyperbolic Riemann Surfaces

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Roji Pius

The main geometric ingredient of the closed string field theory are the string vertices, the collections of string diagrams describing the elementary closed string interactions, sa…

Hyperbolic Geometry of Superstring Perturbation Theory

Seyed Faroogh Moosavian, Roji Pius

We explore the hyperbolic structure of the RNS formulation of perturbative superstring theory. The aim is to provide a systematic method to explicitly compute on-shell and off-shel…
