We develop a bootstrap approach to Euclidean two-point correlators, in the thermal or ground state of quantum mechanical systems. We formulate the problem of bounding the two-point correlator as a semidefinite programming problem, subject…
We extend the semiclassical black hole microstate construction to include quantum corrections to the microscopic entropy using a doubly holographic model of black holes. Specifically, we consider a double-sided black hole on a JT brane with…
We embed the perturbative Fock state of the Yang-Mills BV-multiplet in the vertex operator algebra of the path-integral for the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric world line and evaluate the pull-back of the latter to an integral form on…
Nonlinear scalar-tensor theories of gravity have been considered as candidates for dark matter and dark energy. Often, they possess screening mechanisms, which allow the fifth force mediated by the additional scalar degree(s) of freedom to…
We present a semiclassical framework in which stress-tensor deformations of a quantum field theory (QFT) reorganize into a gravitational action evaluated at a metric saddle. The deformed partition function can be written as a gravitational…
In this Letter, we study scalar wave perturbations of arbitrary frequency to the 5D Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole (STBH) within general relativity. For the first time, we derive a closed formula for the 5D partial wave gravitational…
We investigate the reduced density matrices obtained for the quantum states in the context of 3d Chern-Simons theory with gauge group SU(2) and Chern-Simons level $k$. We focus on the quantum states associated with the $T_{p,p}$ torus link…
We present a formula for the universal anomalous scaling of the multipole moments of a generic gravitating source in classical general relativity. We derive this formula in two independent ways using effective field theory methods. First,…
We revisited the equivalence between the second- and first-order formulations of the Yang-Mills (YM) and gravity using the path integral formalism. We demonstrated that structural identities can be derived to relate Green's functions of…
Scattering amplitudes for colored theories have recently been formulated in a new way, in terms of curves on surfaces. In this note we describe a canonical set of functions we call surface functions, associated to all orders in the…
We study the representation theory of the spherical double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) of $C^\vee C_1$, using brane quantization. By showing a one-to-one correspondence between Lagrangian $A$-branes with compact support and…
We consider tree level scattering of gravitons in type IIA string theory on $AdS_4\times \mathbb{CP}^3$ to all orders in $\alpha'$, which is dual to the stress tensor correlator in $U(N)_k\times U(N)_{-k}$ ABJM theory in the planar large…
The loop-Amplituhedron $\mathcal{A}^{(L)}_{n}$ is a semialgebraic set in the product of Grassmannians $\mathrm{Gr}_{\mathbb{R}}(2,4)^L$. Recently, many aspects of this geometry for the case of $L=1$ have been elucidated, such as its…
We offer a streamlined and computationally powerful characterization of higher representations (higher charges) for defect operators under generalized symmetries, employing the powerful framework of Symmetry TFT $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$.…
We consider free-field realization of Gepner models basing on free-field realization of N=2 superconformal minimal models. Using this realization we analyse A/B-type boundary conditions starting from the ansatz when left-moving and…
In higher-dimensional Einstein-AdS gravity, it is well known that planar and static anti-de Sitter black holes can be endowed with multiple rotation parameters via a large-gauge transformation. However, a similar prescription fails when…
We construct simple analytical solutions of renormalization group equations for the running coupling and for the Green functions in QCD in the asymptotic regime. These solutions have an explicit form and subsequently sum up the leading,…
In gauge theories, the mass of a field has been regarded as a purely on-shell concept: the pole mass is gauge-invariant, but the off-shell propagator has had no gauge-invariant definition of mass. We show that renormalization defines a…
We investigate D-insatnton effects on the holographic Weyl semimetal in top-down approach. From the free energy of the D7 brane embedding solutions, we get phase diagram in terms of the electron mass, instanton number, and temperature in…
We study anomalies in family unification models within the framework of the bordism classification of invertible field theories. These models are based on four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models, in which the…
