Motivated by a conjecture that doubled four-dimensional Chern-Simons produces new integrable models, we perform its Hamiltonian analysis and find the theory's Poisson algebra. This requires carefully accounting for a set of boundary…
The AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude has recently been generalized to the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence between type IIB string theory on $ AdS_3 \times S^3 \times K3$ (or $T^4$), supported by Ramond-Ramond flux, and the D1-D5 CFT. In this…
This paper aims to investigate the classical duality between the $SIM(2)$-Maxwell-Kalb-Ramond (MKR) theory and a self-dual non-gauge-invariant model. First, we establish the equivalence in the free-field case using two complementary…
We apply the intertwiner operator method of arXiv:2411.08865 to topological field theories, including BF theories, Chern-Simons theory, and three-dimensional gravity. We construct the operator on foliated manifolds while preserving…
It is well known that a general two-point function cannot be uniquely determined in a theory with Poincar\'e symmetry. In this paper, we show that bulk-to-boundary correlators are highly constrained after imposing suitable fall-off…
We establish time-like entanglement entropy (TEE) as a novel tool to characterize the black hole interior from a single-boundary perspective. In the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole, we show that TEE of time-like boundary strips exhibits linear…
We present a first-principles, non-perturbative worldline instanton analysis of vacuum decay in the non-abelian Yang-Mills root of a Schwarzschild background. We recover the gauge theory color-thermal spectrum as a topological winding mode.…
In this paper, we compare and analyze holographic timelike entanglement entropy with pseudo-entropy in quantum mechanics for a two-qubit system, considering transitions from a thermal state to an anisotropic thermal state at fixed…
We construct a holographic c-function for sine dilaton gravity (sDG) in the domain wall gauge. We show the equivalence between sDG and the two copies of Liouville conformal field theory (LCFT) and compute the associated central charge. We…
In this work, we derive the conservative dynamics of non-spinning binaries in the massless scalar-tensor theories using the post-Minkowskian Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach. Our main result is an analytic expression of the scattering…
We explain that the logic behind the derivation of the Noumi-Shiraishi function can be applied directly to the Baker-Akhiezer function (BAF). This amounts to changing an ansatz for BAF to a nested one, where the BAF of N + 1 variables is…
We investigate the entangling properties of the color flux tube between a static quark-antiquark pair in pure gauge Yang-Mills theory. In earlier works, we defined a gauge-invariant flux tube entanglement entropy (FTE$^2$), the excess…
The ``fortuitous'' Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) sector states in gauge theory have been argued to furnish a description, through holography, of generic BPS black hole microstates. They are expected to be strongly chaotic, a…
We conjecture a precise relation between the superconformal indices of two theories defined in different spacetime dimensions. The first is the three-dimensional ABJM theory describing the worldvolume of parallel M2-branes in M-theory on…
We show that the Unruh response can be interferometrically suppressed or restored in a single Unruh--DeWitt detector whose center-of-mass is prepared in a coherent superposition of two uniformly accelerated worldlines. The two paths remain…
We compute holographically correlation functions for giant gravitons in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM in the presence of monodromy defects through probe branes. The computation boils down to the study of charged geodesics in certain five-dimensional…
We investigate the holographic mixed-state entanglement measures in the Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar (EMS) theory. Several quantities are computed, including the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE), mutual information (MI), entanglement wedge…
In this work, we study the realisation of unitarity-based cutting rules for primordial cosmological correlators computed within the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral formalism. While cutting rules have been previously derived for wavefunction…
We report novel analytic results for the Virasoro modular and fusion kernels relevant to 2d conformal field theories (CFTs), 3d topological field theories (TQFTs), and the representation theory of certain quantum groups. For all rational…
In this work, we explore the effect at cosmological level of the extra contribution arising from the Geodetic Brane Gravity model within a thermodynamical perspective. As already known, the universe seen as an extended object embedded…
