q-Askey Deformations of Double-Scaled SYK

Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Trivko Kukolj, Josef Seitz

We construct families of deformations of the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) model and investigate their bulk interpretation. We introduce microscopic deformations of the SYK model which…

A spin on Hagedorn temperatures and string stars

Josef Seitz, Erez Y. Urbach

We discuss the correspondence between highly excited strings and black holes in the presence of angular momentum. At fixed imaginary angular velocity , we show that free strings…

Comments on Class S(YK)

Micha Berkooz, Trivko Kukolj, Josef Seitz

We present a DSSYK-like interpretation of the Schur half-indices of gauge theories with matter, in the presence of fundamental Wilson lines. The Schur half-…

Simulations of Magnetic Monopole Collisions

Maximilian Bachmaier, Gia Dvali, Josef Seitz +1

In this paper, we investigate the scattering of BPS magnetic monopoles through numerical simulations. We present an ansatz for various multi-monopole configurations suitable for an…

Twisted times, the Schwarzian and its deformations in DSSYK

Micha Berkooz, Ronny Frumkin, Ohad Mamroud +1

The IR dynamics of SYK is that of the Schwarzian theory, the effective theory of broken reparametrization invariance. In the double scaling limit, SYK is completely solvable by cho…

Are theories really relevant to cosmology?

Osmin Lacombe, Shinji Mukohyama, Josef Seitz

We examine theories that directly couple the curvature or with the matter sector in the action, in addition to the universal coupling. We argue t…

De Sitter and Minkowski Solutions in 4+1 Brane-World Models

Josef Seitz

We comment on approaches to the Cosmological Constant Problem in 4+1 dimensions, with the Standard Model fields confined to a 3-brane. We show that requiring maximal 4D symmetry on…
