Semiclassical reconstruction of the Toda pole lattice via analytic continuation of the Probabilistic Approach

Jacques Distler, Bahaa Elshimy

We develop a probabilistic construction of Toda field theory correlators from the Coulomb gas representation. Reinterpreting -point functions of primaries as -moments of rand…

Making the Great Desert Bloom

Jacques Distler, Andreas Karch

The absence of new physics beyond neutrino masses between the weak scale and the Planck scale is referred to as the great desert. It is often seen as a nightmare scenario for parti…

Spacetime Subsystem Symmetries

Saba Asif Baig, Jacques Distler, Andreas Karch +2

One characteristic feature of many fractonic lattice models, and a defining property of the exotic field theories developed to describe them, are subsystem symmetries including a c…

Isomorphisms of 4d N=2 SCFTs from 6d

Jacques Distler, Grant Elliot, Monica Jinwoo Kang +1

There exist 4d SCFTs in class which have different constructions as punctured Riemann surfaces, but which nevertheless appear to describe the same phy…

Current Algebra Levels in the Theory

Jacques Distler, Grant Elliot

The class-S theories of type were analyzed in \cite{Chacaltana:2018vhp}. The basic building blocks consisted of 49,836 isolated SCFTs (three-punctured spheres). In 244 cases,…

Two Applications of Nilpotent Higgsing in Class-S

Jacques Distler, Grant Elliot

We introduce a class of Higgs-branch RG flows in theories of class-S, which flow between SCFTs of the same ADE type. We discuss two applications of this class…
