One-loop divergences for KK theories on spaces; a reanalysis of ABJM precision holography

Federico Arrighi, Lorenzo Casarin

We provide a systematic framework for computing the logarithmically divergent part of one-loop partition functions on product spaces of arbitrar…

Semiclassical quantization of M5 brane probes wrapped on and defect anomalies

Matteo Beccaria, Lorenzo Casarin, Arkady A. Tseytlin

We consider two supersymmetric M5 brane probe solutions in and one in that all have the world-vo…

Conformal `anomalies' and renormalized stress-tensor correlators for non-conformal theories

Tommaso Bertolini, Lorenzo Casarin

We analyse the proposal of defining the Weyl anomaly for classically non-conformal theories as , originally put forwar…

Conformal anomalies for (maximal) 6d conformal supergravity

Lorenzo Casarin, Christian Kennedy, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli

We compute the conformal anomalies for 6d (2,0) conformal supergravity by direct calculation in component fields. The main novel results consist of the type-B anomaly coefficients…

Nicolai maps with four-fermion interactions

Lorenzo Casarin, Olaf Lechtenfeld, Maximilian Rupprecht

Nicolai maps offer an alternative description of supersymmetric theories via nonlinear and nonlocal transformations characterized by the so-called `free-action' and `determinant-ma…

Conformal anomalies in 6d 4-derivative theories: a heat-kernel analysis

Lorenzo Casarin

We compute the conformal anomalies for some higher-derivative (non-unitary) 6d Weyl invariant theories using the heat-kernel expansion in the background-field method. To this aim w…

ANEC on stress-tensor states in perturbative theory

Teresa Bautista, Lorenzo Casarin

We evaluate the Average Null Energy Condition (ANEC) on momentum eigenstates generated by the stress tensor in perturbative and general spacetime dimension. We first comp…

ANEC in theory

Teresa Bautista, Lorenzo Casarin, Hadi Godazgar

Motivated by the goal of applying the average null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalisation group flows, we calculate in theory the expectation value of the ANEC operator…

One-loop beta-functions in 4-derivative gauge theory in 6 dimensions

Lorenzo Casarin, Arkady A. Tseytlin

A classically scale-invariant 6d analog of the 4d Yang-Mills theory is the 4-derivative gauge theory with two independent couplings. Motivated by a search for…

Conformal Anomaly for Non-Conformal Scalar Fields

Lorenzo Casarin, Hadi Godazgar, Hermann Nicolai

We give a general definition of the conformal anomaly for theories that are not classically Weyl invariant and show that this definition yields a quantity that is both finite and l…

On higher-derivative gauge theories

Lorenzo Casarin

In this work we study the main properties and the one-loop renormalization of a Yang-Mills theory in which the kinetic term contains also a fourth-order differential operator; in p…
