Phase Space Renormalization and Finite BMS Charges in Six Dimensions

Federico Capone, Prahar Mitra, Aaron Poole +1

We perform a complete and systematic analysis of the solution space of six-dimensional Einstein gravity. We show that a particular subclass of solutions -- those that are analytic…

New phases of SYM at finite chemical potential

Oscar J. C. Dias, Prahar Mitra, Jorge E. Santos

We do a systematic search of supergravity solutions that, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, are dual to thermal states in SYM at finite chemical potential. Th…

Shadows and Soft Exchange in Celestial CFT

Daniel Kapec, Prahar Mitra

We study exponentiated soft exchange in dimensional gauge and gravitational theories using the celestial CFT formalism. These models exhibit spontaneously broken asymptotic s…

Covariant Phase Space and Soft Factorization in Non-Abelian Gauge Theories

Temple He, Prahar Mitra

We perform a careful study of the infrared sector of massless non-abelian gauge theories in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime using the covariant phase space formalism, taking i…

Asymptotic Symmetries and Weinberg's Soft Photon Theorem in Mink

Temple He, Prahar Mitra

We show that Weinberg's leading soft photon theorem in massless abelian gauge theories implies the existence of an infinite-dimensional large gauge symmetry which acts non-triviall…

A -Dimensional Stress Tensor for Mink Gravity

Daniel Kapec, Prahar Mitra

We consider the tree-level scattering of massless particles in -dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes. The -matrix elements are recast as correlation funct…

Asymptotic Symmetries and Subleading Soft Photon Theorem in Effective Field Theories

Alok Laddha, Prahar Mitra

In [1,2] it was shown that the subleading soft photon theorem in tree level amplitudes in massless QED is equivalent to a new class of symmetries of the theory parameterized by a v…

Axion field induces exact symmetry

P. Mitra

While no regularization is consistent with the anomalous chiral symmetry which occurs for massless fermions, the artificial axion-induced symmetry for massive fermions is shown her…

A 2D Stress Tensor for 4D Gravity

Daniel Kapec, Prahar Mitra, Ana-Maria Raclariu +1

We use the subleading soft-graviton theorem to construct an operator whose insertion in the four-dimensional tree-level quantum gravity -matrix obeys the Vira…

Hairy black holes and solitons in global AdS 5

Zeta function regularization, anomaly and complex mass term

P. Mitra

If the zeta function regularization is used and a complex mass term considered for fermions, the phase does not appear in the fermion determinant. This is not a drawback of the reg…

Time-reversal and parity conservation for gravitating quarks

P. Mitra

The complex mass term of a quark does not violate time-reversal or parity in gravitational interactions, in spite of an axial anomaly.

Complex fermion mass term, regularization and CP violation

P. Mitra

It is well known that the CP violating theta term of QCD can be converted to a phase in the quark mass term. However, a theory with a complex mass term for quarks can be regularize…

Patching up the monopole potential

Ashok Chatterjee, P. Mitra

It is well known that a vector potential cannot be defined over the whole surface of a sphere around a magnetic monopole. A recent claim to the contrary is shown to have problems.…

The fermionic measure in the functional integral of a gauge theory suffers from an ambiguity in the form of a chiral phase. By fixing it, one is led once again to the conclusion th…
