Futaki Invariants and Reflexive Polygons
Jiakang Bao, Eugene Choi, Yang-Hui He +2
Futaki invariants of the classical moduli space of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories determine whether they have a conformal fixed point in the IR. We systematically compute the…
C-R-T Fractionalization, Fermions, and Mod 8 Periodicity
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Shing-Tung Yau +1
Charge conjugation (C), mirror reflection (R), time reversal (T), and fermion parity are basic discrete spacetime and internal symmetries of the Dirac fermions. In t…
Duality in Gauge Theory, Gravity and String Theory
Uri Kol, Shing-Tung Yau
Einstein's theory in the vacuum was recently shown to possess an duality invariance, which is broken by coupling to matter. Duality invariance can be restored by enlarging…
On Upper Bounds in Dimension Gaps of CFT's
Tristan C. Collins, Daniel Jafferis, Cumrun Vafa +2
We consider CFT's arising from branes probing singularities of internal manifolds. We focus on holographic models with internal space including arbtirary Sasaki-Einstein manifolds…
Non-Holomorphic Cycles and Non-BPS Black Branes
Cody Long, Artan Sheshmani, Cumrun Vafa +1
We study extremal non-BPS black holes and strings arising in M-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds, obtained by wrapping M2 branes on non-holomorphic 2-cycles and M5…
Green's Functions for Vladimirov Derivatives and Tate's Thesis
An Huang, Bogdan Stoica, Shing-Tung Yau +1
Given a number field with a Hecke character , for each place we study the free scalar field theory whose kinetic term is given by the regularized Vladimirov derivative a…
