N=4 Superconformal Bootstrap of the K3 CFT
Ying-Hsuan Lin, Shu-Heng Shao, David Simmons-Duffin +2
We study two-dimensional (4,4) superconformal field theories of central charge c=6, corresponding to nonlinear sigma models on K3 surfaces, using the superconformal bootstrap. This…
Classification of Argyres-Douglas theories from M5 branes
Yifan Wang, Dan Xie
We obtain a large class of new 4d Argyres-Douglas theories by classifying irregular punctures for the 6d (2,0) superconformal theory of ADE type on a sphere. Along the way, we iden…
Supersymmetry Constraints and String Theory on K3
Ying-Hsuan Lin, Shu-Heng Shao, Yifan Wang +1
We study supervertices in six dimensional (2,0) supergravity theories, and derive supersymmetry non-renormalization conditions on the 4- and 6-derivative four-point couplings of te…
The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Limits on the Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background
Zaven Arzoumanian, Adam Brazier, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +45
We compute upper limits on the nanohertz-frequency isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) using the 9-year data release from the North American Nanohertz Observat…
Supervertices and Non-renormalization Conditions in Maximal Supergravity Theories
Yifan Wang, Xi Yin
We construct higher derivative supervertices in an effective theory of maximal supergravity in various dimensions, in the super spinor helicity formalism, and derive non-renormaliz…
Off-shell hydrodynamics from holography
Michael Crossley, Paolo Glorioso, Hong Liu +1
We outline a program for obtaining an action principle for dissipative fluid dynamics by considering the holographic Wilsonian renormalization group applied to systems with a gravi…
