Gauge It or Break It: Lectures on Global Symmetries and the Cobordism Conjecture

Matilda Delgado, Corinne Englert, Guillermo Mera Álvarez +1

These lecture notes introduce the No Global Symmetries Conjecture in the context of the Swampland Program, with particular emphasis on the Cobordism Conjecture. We begin with a rev…

AdS Black Holes Are Short-Lived inside the Spectral Form Factor

José L. F. Barbón, Eduardo Velasco-Aja

We analyze the contribution of AdS black hole saddles to the spectral form factor of -dimensional CFTs with a gravity dual. At high temperatures, the analytically continued grav…

A Note on Black Hole Entropy and Wormhole Instabilities

J. L. F. Barbon, E. Velasco-Aja

We discuss recent approaches to the computation of black hole entropies through semiclassical estimates of appropriate state overlaps, saturated by Euclidean wormhole configuration…

The one-loop unimodular graviton propagator in any dimension

Jesus Anero, Carmelo P. Martin, Eduardo Velasco-Aja

For unimodular gravity, we work out, by using dimensional regularization, the complete one-loop correction to the graviton propagator in any space-time dimension. The computation i…

The quantum dynamics of Lagrange multipliers

Enrique Álvarez, Jesús Anero, Carmelo P. Martin +1

When implementing a non-linear constraint in quantum field theory by means of a Lagrange multiplier, , it is often the case that quantum dynamics induce quadratic and even hi…

The fate of horizons under quantum corrections

Enrique Álvarez, Jesús Anero, Eduardo Velasco-Aja

We have studied a lagrangian in which the Einstein-Hilbert term is deformed by the Weyl cube operator, which is the lowest-dimension operator that is non-vanishing on shell and app…
