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…
