A Matrix Theory Construction of the IIA/IIB Wall
Ethan Torres
In this note, we give a non-perturbative construction of a lightlike domain wall separating IIA and IIB string theories in 10D in the framework of discrete light-cone quantization…
SymTFT Entanglement and Holographic (Non)-Factorization
Ethan Torres, Xingyang Yu
Given two otherwise decoupled -dimensional CFTs which possess a common (finite) symmetry subcategory, one can consider entangled boundary states of their -dimensional Sym…
QCD String Axions and -theory
Bobby Samir Acharya, Ethan Torres
In Yang-Mills theory without matter, there exist stable long electric fluxtube strings which carry a 1-form symmetry charge. Over the past decade or so, there has been incr…
On the Enumeration of all Unique Paths of Recombining Trinomial Trees
Ethan Torres, Ramavarapu Sreenivas, Richard Sowers
Recombining trinomial trees are a workhorse for modeling discrete-event systems in option pricing, logistics, and feedback control. Because each node stores a state-dependent quant…
Finiteness and the Emergence of Dualities
Matilda Delgado, Damian van de Heisteeg, Sanjay Raman +3
We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of no…
