Stability and boundedness in AdS/CFT with double trace deformations II: Vector Fields
William Cottrell, Akikazu Hashimoto, Andrew Loveridge +1
We extend the analysis of boundedness and stability, initiated for scalar fields in anti de Sitter space in a previous work, to the case of vector fields. We show that the double t…
Gravitational Decoupling and Picard-Lefschetz
Jon Brown, Alex Cole, William Cottrell +1
In this work, we consider tunneling between non-metastable states in gravitational theories. Such processes arise in various contexts, e.g., in inflationary scenarios where the inf…
Fencing in the Swampland: Quantum Gravity Constraints on Large Field Inflation
Jon Brown, William Cottrell, Gary Shiu +1
In this note we show that models of natural inflation based on closed string axions are incompatible with the weak gravity conjecture (WGC). Specifically, we use T-duality in order…
Comments on s-rule violating configurations in field theory
William Cottrell, Akikazu Hashimoto, Mohandas Pillai
We explicitly construct a configuration of supersymmetry Yang-Mills theory with gauge group on an interval on length with a D5-like boundary condition on on…
