Kerr/CFT, dipole theories and nonrelativistic CFTs
Sheer El-Showk, Monica Guica
We study solutions of type IIB supergravity which are SL(2,R) x SU(2) x U(1)^2 invariant deformations of AdS_3 x S^3 x K3 and take the form of products of self-dual spacelike warpe…

What Maxwell Theory in D<>4 teaches us about scale and conformal invariance
Sheer El-Showk, Yu Nakayama, Slava Rychkov
The free Maxwell theory in D<>4 dimensions provides a physical example of a unitary, scale invariant theory which is NOT conformally invariant. The easiest way to see this is that…

Emergent Spacetime and Holographic CFTs
Sheer El-Showk, Kyriakos Papadodimas
We discuss universal properties of conformal field theories with holographic duals. A central feature of these theories is the existence of a low-lying sector of operators whose co…
