Anomaly Inflow, Accidental Symmetry, and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti
We consider the 6d (1,0) SCFT on a stack of M5-branes probing a singularity. In particular, we study its compactifications to four dimensions on a smo…
Anomalies of QFTs from M-theory and Holography
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1
We describe a systematic way of computing the 't Hooft anomalies for continuous symmetries of Quantum Field Theories in even dimensions that can be geometrically engineered from M5…
Kerr-Schild Double Copy and Complex Worldlines
Ibrahima Bah, Ross Dempsey, Peter Weck
We use the classical double copy to identify a necessary condition for Maxwell theory sources to constitute single copies of Kerr-Schild solutions to Einstein's equations. In the c…
Quantum statistics of vortices from a dual theory of the XY ferromagnet
Sayak Dasgupta, Shu Zhang, Ibrahima Bah +1
We extend the well-known mapping between the easy-plane ferromagnet and electrostatics in spatial dimensions to dynamical and quantum phenomena in a spacetime. Ferrom…
Anomaly Inflow for M5-branes on Punctured Riemann Surfaces
Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti, Ruben Minasian +1
We derive the anomaly polynomials of 4d theories that are obtained by wrapping M5-branes on a Riemann surface with arbitrary regular punctures, using anomaly inflow…
