TQFT gravity dual to the orbifold groupoid of Narain code CFTs over

Rajae Sammani, Abdellah Sebbar

In a companion paper arXiv:2610.26610, we classified the Narain conformal field theories obtained by gluing copies of the root and weight lattices along their …

Optics and Thermodynamics of Charged BTZ Black Holes with Exotic Matter Sources

M. A. Rbah, S. Saoud, R. Sammani +2

We study a modified charged BTZ black hole in \((2+1)\)--dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, where the standard geometry is surrounded by quintessence-like anisotropic matter and…

Algebraic constructions of code lattices in Narain conformal field theories

E. H Saidi, R. Sammani

We give new results on the structure and representations of the three lattices relevant…

A Swampland-modified Hod bound for charged black holes with exotic matter

S. Saoud, M. A Rbah, R. Sammani +2

In this paper, we study the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of a charged black hole in the presence of both quintessence and a cloud of strings using the Pade-averaged higher-order WKB ap…

Multifield quintessential inflation and Swampland constraints in the IDM

S. Saoud, M. A. Rbah, R. Sammani +2

We investigate quintessential inflation in the Inert Doublet Model coupled to a light quintessence field through an exponential interaction. In the Einstein frame, the model forms…

Compactified 2HDM under the Non-SUSY AdS instability conjecture

M. A. Rbah, S. Saoud, R. Sammani +2

We investigate how extra-dimensional dynamics influence Higgs-sector phenomenology by compactifying a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) coupled to 4D gravity on a circle \(S^1\). The…

Minimal Weak Gravity Conjecture And Gauge Duality in M-theory on K3xT2

Mohammed Charkaoui, Rajae Sammani, El Hassan Saidi +1

The minimal Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) predicts the emergence of towers of superextremal states in both weak and strong coupling limits. In this work, we study M-theory compacti…

Landscape of Narain CFTs

R. Sammani, E. H Saidi, R. Ahl Laamara +1

In this work, we investigate the AdS gravitational bulk dual to an ensemble of Narain CFTs and their generalisations to establish bounds consistent with the Swampland program…

Code CFTs and Topological Matter

E. H Saidi, R. Sammani

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for modeling topological phases of matter using code-based Narain conformal field theories (NCFTs). We show that the algebraic structure…

Black hole solutions of three dimensional E-gravity

R. Sammani, E. H Saidi, R. Ahl Laamara

This paper aims to construct exceptional Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black holes carrying E charges as solutions to the 3D higher spin Anti-de Sitter (AdS) gravity with…

Fluctuating Ensemble Averages and the BTZ Threshold

R. Sammani, E. H Saidi, R. Ahl Laamara +1

Recent work shows fascinating links between ensemble averaging and the Swampland program. In order to break the emerging global symmetries of the ensemble averaging as dictated by…

Topological 4D gravity and gravitational defects

Y. Boujakhrout, R. Sammani, E. H Saidi

Using the Chern-Simons formulation of AdS3 gravity as well as the Costello-Witten-Yamazaki (CWY) theory for quantum integrability, we construct a novel topological 4D gravity given…

Higher spin AdS gravity and Tits-Satake diagrams

Rajae Sammani, Youssra Boujakhrout, El Hassan Saidi +2

We investigate higher spin AdS gravity with real split forms of complex A B, C and D Lie algebras. This is done by linking spin multiplets w…
