EFT & Species Scale: Friends or foes?
Bruno Valeixo Bento, João F. Melo
Recently the notion that quantum gravity effects could manifest at scales much lower than the Planck scale has seen an intense Swamplandish revival. Dozens of works have explored h…
The Propagator Matrix Reloaded
João F. Melo
The standard way to perform calculations for quantum field theories involves the S-matrix and the assumption that the theory is free at past and future infinity. However, this assu…
Stringy corrections to the entropy of electrically charged supersymmetric black holes with asymptotics
João F. Melo, Jorge E. Santos
We study the leading corrections to the entropy of certain black holes with AdS asymptotics. We find that, in the supersymmetric limit, the entropy does no…
Introduction to Renormalisation
João F. Melo
These are introductory lecture notes aimed at beginning graduate students covering fundamental concepts and ideas behind the renormalisation group. Our main goal is to motivate it…
Developing local RG: quantum RG and BFSS
João F. Melo, Jorge E. Santos
In this paper we study various forms of RG, applying them to the BFSS model of coincident D0-branes. Firstly, as a warm-up, we perform standard Wilsonian RG, investigating the…
