Exceptional Chern-Simons-Matter Dualities
Clay Cordova, Po-Shen Hsin, Kantaro Ohmori
We use conformal embeddings involving exceptional affine Kac-Moody algebras to derive new dualities of three-dimensional topological field theories. These generalize the familiar l…
Classical de Sitter Solutions of Ten-Dimensional Supergravity
Clay Cordova, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandro Tomasiello
We find four-dimensional de Sitter compactifications of type IIA supergravity by directly solving the ten-dimensional equations of motion. In the simplest examples, the internal sp…
AdS Solutions in Type II Supergravity
Clay Cordova, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandro Tomasiello
We find non-supersymmetric AdS solutions of type IIA supergravity. The internal space is topologically an with a U(1) isometry. The only non-zero flux is ; an O8 sou…
Light-ray Operators and the BMS Algebra
Clay Cordova, Shu-Heng Shao
We study light-ray operators constructed from the energy-momentum tensor in -dimensional Lorentzian conformal field theory. These include in particular the average null energy o…
Candidate Phases for SU(2) Adjoint QCD with Two Flavors from Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
Clay Cordova, Thomas T. Dumitrescu
We study four-dimensional adjoint QCD with gauge group SU(2) and two Weyl fermion flavors, which has an chiral symmetry. The infrared behavior of this theory is not firml…
On 2-Group Global Symmetries and Their Anomalies
Francesco Benini, Clay Cordova, Po-Shen Hsin
In general quantum field theories (QFTs), ordinary (0-form) global symmetries and 1-form symmetries can combine into 2-group global symmetries. We describe this phenomenon in detai…
Exploring 2-Group Global Symmetries
Clay Cordova, Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Kenneth Intriligator
We analyze four-dimensional quantum field theories with continuous 2-group global symmetries. At the level of their charges such symmetries are identical to a product of continuous…
