Symmetry Descent in M-theory, Part I: A Twelve-Dimensional Parent Theory

Pinak Banerjee, Subham Roy, Xingyang Yu

We initiate a symmetry descent procedure for M-theory engineered quantum field theories. Starting from a higher form BF theory supplemented by a cubic bulk topological interaction,…

Notes on (-2)-form symmetries

Pinak Banerjee, Alonso Perez-Lona, Daniel Robbins +3

We study -form symmetries of a -dimensional quantum field theory, via a -form symmetry of its -dimensional Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT), realize…

Flux Quantization of Type IIA in Unstable K-Theory

Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

The traditional conjecture that RR-flux is quantized in stable K-cohomology fails to account for the presence of NS-brane sources: These impose nonlinear relations -- reductions of…

Flux Quantization on M-Strings

Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

The electric Gauss law in 11D SuGra is famously non-linear, whence its flux quantization must be in nonabelian cohomology. We have previously shown that the minimal admissible choi…

Boundary conformal field theory, holography and bulk locality

Pinaki Banerjee, Parijat Dey, Dipyendu Dhar

We study bulk locality in a scalar effective field theory (EFT) in AdS background in presence of an end-of-the-world (EOW) brane. The holographic dual description is given in terms…

M5 brane to D4 brane via cyclification of rational relative 3-cohomotopy

Pinak Banerjee

In this article, we start by re-deriving the equations of motion and Bianchi identities for the abelian D4 brane worldvolume. Noting that the 4-flux in M-Theory is rationally flux…

Gauge potentials on the M5 brane in twisted equivariant cohomotopy

Pinak Banerjee

In this article, we work out some variations on the discussion of the C-field flux densities in the Sati-Schreiber program. We start by explaining the need for global completion of…

Regge Limit of One-Loop String Amplitudes

Pinaki Banerjee, Lorenz Eberhardt, Sebastian Mizera

We study the high-energy limit of one-loop string amplitudes at fixed momentum transfer. For the closed string, the high-energy behaviour of the amplitudes can be determi…

Inflationary non-Gaussianities in alpha vacua and consistency with conformal symmetries

Arhum Ansari, Pinak Banerjee, Prateksh Dhivakar +2

We study the conformal invariance of inflationary non-Gaussianities associated with scalar fluctuations in a non-Bunch-Davies initial state, known as the -vacuum, in single-fiel…

Worldvolume origin of Higher M Theories

Pinak Banerjee

Exceptional Periodicity (EP) has taught us that there are families of M Theory-like superalgebras in spacetime dimensions up to infinity. In this paper, we make th…
