Higher Structure of Chiral Symmetry

Christian Copetti, Michele Del Zotto, Kantaro Ohmori +1

A recent development in our understanding of the theory of quantum fields is the fact that familiar gauge theories in spacetime dimensions greater than two can have non-invertible…

Lightcone Modular Bootstrap and Pure Gravity

Nathan Benjamin, Hirosi Ooguri, Shu-Heng Shao +1

We explore the large spin spectrum in two-dimensional conformal field theories with a finite twist gap, using the modular bootstrap in the lightcone limit. By recursively solving t…

An exact quantization of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity

Luca V. Iliesiu, Silviu S. Pufu, Herman Verlinde +1

We propose an exact quantization of two-dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity by formulating the JT gravity theory as a 2D gauge theory placed in the presence of a loop defect…

Super-Yang-Mills Correlators at Strong Coupling from String Theory and Localization

Damon J. Binder, Shai M. Chester, Silviu S. Pufu +1

We compute corrections to the four-point functions of half-BPS operators in super-Yang-Mills theory at large and large 't Hooft coupling $λ=g_\tex…

Chern-Simons theory from M5-branes and calibrated M2-branes

Márk Mezei, Silviu S. Pufu, Yifan Wang

We study a sector of the 5d maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on consisting of -BPS Wilson loop operators contained within a great inside . We conjec…

Comments on the twisted punctures of class S theory

Yuji Tachikawa, Yifan Wang, Gabi Zafrir

We point out that the symmetry associated to a full twisted puncture of a class S theory of type has the global anomaly associated to $π_4(\text{USp})=…
