QCD-Gravity double-copy in the Regge regime: shock wave propagators

Himanshu Raj, Raju Venugopalan

In recent work, we demonstrated a double-copy relation between inclusive gluon radiation in shock wave collisions of ultrarelativistic nuclei and inclusive graviton radiation in tr…

Wee partons in QCD and gravity: double copy and universality

Himanshu Raj, Raju Venugopalan

We discuss a quantitative "double copy" between radiation from shockwave collisions in Einstein gravity and in QCD. The correspondence extends to amplitudes in Reg…

Gravitational wave double copy of radiation from gluon shockwave collisions

Himanshu Raj, Raju Venugopalan

In a recent paper, we showed that the gravitational wave spectrum from trans-Planckian shockwave scattering in Einstein gravity is determined by the gravitational Lipatov vertex ex…

Universal features of scattering in QCD and gravity from shockwave collisions

Himanshu Raj, Raju Venugopalan

A remarkable double copy relation of Einstein gravity to QCD in Regge asymptotics is , where is the gravitational Lipatov vertex in t…

ABJM at Strong Coupling from M-theory, Localization, and Lorentzian Inversion

Luis F. Alday, Shai M. Chester, Himanshu Raj

We study the stress tensor multiplet four-point function in the 3d maximally supersymmetric ABJ(M) theory with Chern-Simons level , which in the large limit is holographic…

Complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model in the double scaling limit

Micha Berkooz, Vladimir Narovlansky, Himanshu Raj

We solve for the exact energy spectrum, 2-point and 4-point functions of the complex SYK model, in the double scaling limit at all energy scales. This model has a global sym…

On non-supersymmetric conformal manifolds: field theory and holography

Vladimir Bashmakov, Matteo Bertolini, Himanshu Raj

We discuss the constraints that a conformal field theory should enjoy to admit exactly marginal deformations, i.e. to be part of a conformal manifold. In particular, using tools fr…

Broken current anomalous dimensions, conformal manifolds and RG flows

Vladimir Bashmakov, Matteo Bertolini, Himanshu Raj

We consider deformations of a conformal field theory that explicitly break some global symmetries of the theory. If the deformed theory is still a conformal field theory, one can e…

Scalar Multiplet Recombination at Large N and Holography

Vladimir Bashmakov, Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro +1

We consider the coupling of a free scalar to a single-trace operator of a large N CFT in d dimensions. This is equivalent to a double-trace deformation coupling two primary operato…
