A Quantum-Mechanical Model for the M5-Brane
Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Thomas Raml
We present a maximally supersymmetric extension of the BFSS matrix model based on the 5-Lie algebra . The theory is Lagrangian, promotes the BFSS 2-bracket structur…
A Novel Matrix Model for the M5-brane?
Manuel Artime, Ralph Blumenhagen, Thomas Raml
We provide a new formal extension of the BFSS matrix model by an additional 5-bracket. Maximal supersymmetry leads us to promote the BFSS 2-bracket structure constants to a dynamic…
Optimal paths across potentials on scalar field space
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella +1
Motivated by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we study distances in field space using the framework of Optimal Transport. The associated optimisation problem naturally leads to a…
Non-associative Algebras of Cubic Matrices and their Gauge Theories
Ralph Blumenhagen, Antonia Paraskevopoulou, Thomas Raml
Motivated by M-theory, we define a new type of non-associative algebra involving usual and cubic matrices at the same time. The resulting algebra can be regarded as a two-term trun…
Navigating string theory field space with geometric flows
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Thomas Raml
The Swampland Distance Conjecture postulates the emergence of an infinite tower of massless states when approaching infinite-distance points in moduli space. However, most string b…
Topology change and non-geometry at infinite distance
Saskia Demulder, Dieter Lust, Thomas Raml
The distance conjecture diagnoses viable low-energy effective realisation of consistent theories of quantum gravity by examining their breakdown at infinite distance in their param…
Poisson-Lie T-duality defects and target space fusion
Saskia Demulder, Thomas Raml
Topological defects have long been known to encode symmetries and dualities between physical systems. In the context of string theory, defects have been intensively studied at the…
Integrable defects and Bäcklund transformations in Yang-Baxter models
Saskia Demulder, Thomas Raml
We explore two distinct methods to introduce integrable defects in a family of integrable sigma-models known as Yang-Baxter models. The first method invokes a modified monodromy ma…
