Twisting BFSS & IKKT
Fabian Hahner, Natalie M. Paquette
In this note we initiate the study of ``twisted holography'' for the dualities involving the BFSS matrix quantum mechanics and the IKKT matrix model in their …
Higher Symmetries in Twisted Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity
Fabian Hahner, Natalie M. Paquette, Surya Raghavendran
In supersymmetric theories, protected quantities can be reorganized into holomorphic-topological theories by twisting. Recently, it was observed by Jonsson, Kim and Young that resi…
Associativity is enough: an all-orders 2d chiral algebra for 4d form factors
Víctor E. Fernández, Natalie M. Paquette
There is a special set of massless four-dimensional gauge theories which admit local and gauge-anomaly-free uplifts to twistor space; we call such theories twistorial. In twistoria…
Scattering off of Twistorial Line Defects
Niklas Garner, Natalie M. Paquette
The recently devised chiral algebra bootstrap computes the form factors of a special class of ``twistorial'' 4d QFTs as correlation functions of the theory's 2d celestial chiral al…
Twisted holography on AdS & the planar chiral algebra
Víctor E. Fernández, Natalie M. Paquette, Brian R. Williams
In this work, we revisit and elaborate on twisted holography for AdS with , K3, with a particular focus on K3. We describe the twist of supergravity…
Burns space and holography
Kevin Costello, Natalie M. Paquette, Atul Sharma
We elaborate on various aspects of our top-down celestial holographic duality wherein the semiclassical bulk spacetime is a 4d asymptotically flat, self-dual Kähler geometry known…
Twistorial monopoles & chiral algebras
Niklas Garner, Natalie M. Paquette
We initiate the study of how the insertion of magnetically charged states in 4d self-dual gauge theories impacts the 2d chiral algebras supported on the celestial sphere at asympto…
Top-down holography in an asymptotically flat spacetime
Kevin Costello, Natalie M. Paquette, Atul Sharma
We propose a holographic duality for a four dimensional WZW model with target manifold , coupled to scalar-flat Kähler gravity on an asymptotically flat, four dimen…
TASI Lectures on the Mathematics of String Dualities
Niklas Garner, Natalie M. Paquette
In these lecture proceedings, we describe some of the fundamental mathematical concepts that underlie supersymmetric string theory and field theory, and their role in describing an…
On the associativity of one-loop corrections to the celestial OPE
Kevin Costello, Natalie M. Paquette
There has been recent interest in the question of whether QCD collinear singularities can be viewed as the OPE of a two-dimensional CFT. We analyze a version of this question for t…
Imaginary reflections and discrete symmetries in the heterotic Monster
Lisa Carbone, Natalie M. Paquette
Let be the Monster finite simple group. We give an interpretation of certain discrete symmetries of a family of heterotic string compactifications to dimension…
Snowmass White Paper: Moonshine
Sarah M. Harrison, Jeffrey A. Harvey, Natalie M. Paquette
We present a brief overview of Moonshine with an emphasis on connections to physics. Moonshine collectively refers to a set of phenomena connecting group theory, analytic number th…
Celestial holography meets twisted holography: 4d amplitudes from chiral correlators
Kevin Costello, Natalie M. Paquette
We propose a new program for computing a certain integrand of scattering amplitudes of four-dimensional gauge theories which we call the \textit{form factor integrand}, starting fr…
Koszul duality in quantum field theory
Natalie M. Paquette, Brian R. Williams
In this article, we introduce basic aspects of the algebraic notion of Koszul duality for a physics audience. We then review its appearance in the physical problem of coupling QFTs…

Sarah M. Harrison, Natalie M. Paquette, Daniel Persson +1
We discuss a set of heterotic and type II string theory compactifications to 1+1 dimensions that are characterized by factorized internal worldsheet CFTs of the form $V_1\otimes \b…

We propose an effective field theory (EFT) of fractional quantum Hall systems near the filling fraction that flows to pertinent IR candidate phases, including non-abelian P…
Twisted Supergravity and Koszul Duality: A case study in AdS
Kevin Costello, Natalie M. Paquette
In this note, we study a simplified variant of the familiar holographic duality between supergravity on AdS and the SCFT (on the moduli space of) the symmet…
(0,2) Dualities and the 4-Simplex
Tudor Dimofte, Natalie M. Paquette
We propose that a simple, Lagrangian 2d duality interface between the 3d XYZ model and 3d SQED can be associated to the simples…
A Borcherds-Kac-Moody superalgebra with Conway symmetry
Sarah M. Harrison, Natalie M. Paquette, Roberto Volpato
We construct a Borcherds Kac-Moody (BKM) superalgebra on which the Conway group Co acts faithfully. We show that the BKM algebra is generated by the BRST-closed states in a chi…
Dual Boundary Conditions in 3d SCFT's
Tudor Dimofte, Davide Gaiotto, Natalie M. Paquette
We propose matching pairs of half-BPS boundary conditions related by IR dualities of 3d gauge theories. From these matching pairs we construct duality interfaces. W…
