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…
The Symplectic Geometry of p-Form Gauge Fields
Chris Hull, Maxim Zabzine
We formulate interacting antisymmetric tensor gauge theory in a configuration space consisting of a pair of dual field strengths which has a natural symplectic structure. The field…
The Equivariant B model
Guido Festuccia, Roman Mauch, Maxim Zabzine
In this work, we introduce an equivariant deformation of the model on the sphere with a -action. We present the deformed supersymmetry transformations and corresponding L…
Symplectic cuts and open/closed strings II
Luca Cassia, Pietro Longhi, Maxim Zabzine
In arXiv:2306.07329 we established a connection between symplectic cuts of Calabi-Yau threefolds and open topological strings, and used this to introduce an equivariant deformation…
Symplectic cuts and open/closed strings I
Luca Cassia, Pietro Longhi, Maxim Zabzine
This paper introduces a concrete relation between genus zero closed Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds and genus zero open Gromov-Witten invariants of a Lagrangian $…
