Tree-level S matrix for -deformed AdS3 strings
Marco Costantino, Silvia Penati, Alessandro Sfondrini
We consider the supersymmetric -deformation of superstrings and compute its perturbative bosonic tree-level worldsheet S matr…
SymTFT in Superspace
Federico Ambrosino, Alessandro Duci, Pietro Antonio Grassi +1
We propose a manifestly supersymmetric formulation of the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SuSymTFT) for theories with supersymmetry. The SymTFT is a framework that helps organiz…
Strong coupling dynamics of defect RG flows in ABJM
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory provide a rich arena for studying defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) and the renormalization group (RG) flows connecting them. While these…
Framed defects in ABJ(M)
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
We investigate the role of framing in a family of 1/24 BPS Wilson loops in ABJ(M) theory, which define flows between 1/6 BPS and the 1/2 BPS superconformal fixed points. We analyze…
Super-Higher-Form Symmetries
P. A. Grassi, S. Penati
We generalize the study of higher-form-symmetries to theories with supersymmetry. Using a supergeometry formulation, we find that ordinary higher-form-symmetries nicely combine wit…
Conformal defects and RG flows in ABJM
Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati, Marcia Tenser +1
Defects play a central role in many contexts, from condensed matter to quantum gravity. The situations in which the bulk theory is conformal and the defect inherits part of this sy…
