A pedagogical introduction to invariant theory and finite- holography

Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim, Augustine Larweh Mahu +1

These lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the study of finite- physics of the AdS/CFT correspondence. More specifically we develop the consequences of the trace relat…

UV completion of 2D Ising CFT:a golden E_8 massless -matrix

Changrim Ahn, Minkyoo Kim

We present a full classification of UV complete QFTs that RG flow to the 2D Ising CFT by solving the bootstrap equations for massless right--left S-matrices. For the Ising model wi…

Exact Four-Parameter Rotating NS--NS Vacuum in Double Field Theory

Hun Jang, Minkyoo Kim, Jeong-Hyuck Park

We construct an exact rotating vacuum of the NS--NS sector, equivalently a Double Field Theory vacuum. The construction applies compact S-duality to a rotating Ein…

Bulk Reconstruction in Bilocal Holography

Robert de Mello Koch, Animik Ghosh, Minkyoo Kim +1

Bilocal holography provides a constructive approach to the higher-spin gravity theories dual to vector-model conformal field theories. Its central advantage is that it is completel…

From Symmetry to Structure: Gauge-Invariant Operators in Multi-Matrix Quantum Mechanics

Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim, Hendrik J. R. Van Zyl

Recently the algebraic structure of gauge-invariant operators in multi-matrix quantum mechanics has been clarified: this space forms a module over a freely generated ring. The ring…

Brane-fused black hole operators

Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim, Seok Kim +2

We construct infinitely many new -BPS cohomologies of the 4d maximal super-Yang-Mills theory and interpret them as a black hole wrapped by dual giant graviton hairs.…

Traversable wormhole for string, but not for particle

Hun Jang, Minkyoo Kim, Hocheol Lee +1

We propose a Lorentzian wormhole geometry characterized by a closed string massless sector with nontrivial -flux and a scalar dilaton. In the string frame, the dilaton exhibits…

A pedagogical introduction to restricted Schur polynomials with applications to heavy operators

Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim, Augustine Larweh Mahu

Recent advances in the study of microstates for 1/16-BPS black holes have inspired renewed interest in the analysis of heavy operators. For these operators, traditional techniques…

Generating Functions for Giant Graviton Bound States

Warren Carlson, Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim

We construct generating functions for operators dual to systems of giant gravitons with open strings attached. These operators have a bare dimension of order so that the usual…

Fractons, non-Riemannian Geometry, and Double Field Theory

Stephen Angus, Minkyoo Kim, Jeong-Hyuck Park

We initiate a systematic study of fracton physics within the geometric framework of Double Field Theory. We ascribe the immobility and large degeneracy of the former to the non-Rie…

Complexity from Spinning Primaries

Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim, Hendrik J. R. Van Zyl

We define circuits given by unitary representations of Lorentzian conformal field theory in 3 and 4 dimensions. Our circuits start from a spinning primary state, allowing us to gen…

Emergent Yang-Mills theory

Robert de Mello Koch, Jia-Hui Huang, Minkyoo Kim +1

We study the spectrum of anomalous dimensions of operators dual to giant graviton branes. The operators considered belong to the su sector of super Yang-Mills t…

Central Charges for the Double Coset

Shaun de Carvalho, Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim

The state space of excited giant graviton brane systems is given by the Gauss graph operators. After restricting to the sector of the theory, we consider this state space…

Absorption of closed strings by giant gravitons

Gaoli Chen, Robert de Mello Koch, Minkyoo Kim +1

A new approach to the computation of correlation functions involving two determinant operators as well as one non-protected single trace operator has recently been developed by Jia…

Structure Constants of a Single Trace Operator and Determinant Operators from Hexagon

Keun-Young Kim, Minkyoo Kim, Kyungsun Lee

We study the structure constant of a single trace operator and two determinant operators in super Yang-Mills theory. Holographically such a quantity corresponds to the…

Semiclassical SL(2) Strings on LLM backgrounds

Minkyoo Kim, Hendrik J. R. van Zyl

We study semiclassical string solutions that live on white regions of the LLM plane for a generic LLM geometry. These string excitations are labelled by conserved charges E, J and…

On integrable boundaries in the 2 dimensional -models
