Type IIB at eight derivatives: Five-Point Axio-Dilaton Couplings

James Liu, Ruben Minasian, Raffaele Savelli +1

We study the Type IIB eight-derivative effective Lagrangian beyond the quartic level, focusing on interactions involving gravitons and axio-dilatons. We show how to translate five-…

Analytic continuation and the giant graviton expansion

Nizar Ezroura, James T. Liu, Neville Joshua Rajappa

There is now strong evidence that the superconformal index of holographic gauge theories admits a giant graviton expansion capturing the worldvolume dynamics of spherical D3-branes…

Explicit Entropic Proofs of Irreversibility Theorems for Holographic RG Flows

Evan Deddo, James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas +1

We revisit the existence of monotonic quantities along renormalization group flows using only the Null Energy Condition and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the entanglement entropy…

The Giant Graviton Expansion from Bubbling Geometry

Evan Deddo, James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas +1

The superconformal index of half-BPS states in supersymmetric Yang-Mills with gauge group admits an expansion in terms of giant gravitons, ${\cal I}_N(q)={\cal…

Discontinuity in RG Flows Across Dimensions: Entanglement, Anomaly Coefficients and Geometry

José de-la-Cruz-Moreno, James T. Liu, Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas

We study the entanglement entropy associated with a holographic RG flow from to , where is a -dimensional h…

Rounding out the story of higher derivative consistent truncations

James T. Liu, Robert J. Saskowski

At the two-derivative order, the group manifold reduction of heterotic supergravity on results in a half-maximal 7D gauged supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets, an…
