A Machine-Verified Proof of a Quantum-Optimization Conjecture
Uri Kol, Maor Ben-Shahar, Kfir Sulimany +1
We report a machine-verified resolution of a problem open for over a decade in quantum optimization: the Farhi, Goldstone and Gutmann (FGG) conjecture that depth- Quantum Approx…
Off-shell double copy theories in BV
Maor Ben-Shahar, Francesco Bonechi, Maxim Zabzine
We present a construction of the double copy for gauge theories that exhibit off-shell color-kinematics duality within the Batalin-Vilkovitsky (BV) formalism. As illustrative examp…
3D gravity and double copy theory
Maor Ben-Shahar, Francesco Bonechi, Maxim Zabzine
We introduce a novel reformulation of three-dimensional gravity in terms of divergenceless vector frames, inspired by the double copy for Chern-Simons theory. This formulation is o…
Kerr worldline-QFT action from Compton amplitude to infinite spin orders
Maor Ben-Shahar, Lucile Cangemi, Henrik Johansson
We develop a quadratic-in-Riemann worldline action for a Kerr black hole at infinite spin orders by matching to a proposed tree-level Kerr Compton amplitude, originally obtained fr…
Off-shell color-kinematics duality from codifferentials
Maor Ben-Shahar, Francesco Bonechi, Maxim Zabzine
We examine the color-kinematics duality within the BV formalism, highlighting its emergence as a feature of specific gauge-fixed actions. Our goal is to establish a general framewo…
