We provide a holographic description of two-dimensional dilaton gravity with Anti-de Sitter boundary conditions. We find that the asymptotic symmetry algebra consists of a single copy of the Virasoro algebra with non-vanishing central…
In this paper, we classify irreducible modules for loop extended Witt algebras with finite dimensional weight spaces. They turn out to be either modules with uniformly bounded weight spaces or highest weight modules. We further prove that…
For a general dyadic grid, we give a Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund type decomposition, which is the principle fact about the multilinear maximal function $\mathfrak{M}$ on the upper half-spaces. Using the decomposition, we study the boundedness of…
In this paper we construct a $(2,2)$ dimensional string theory with manifest $N=1$ spacetime supersymmetry. We use Berkovits' approach of augmenting the spacetime supercoordinates by the conjugate momenta for the fermionic variables. The…
In the two-Higgs-doublet model, different Higgs doublets can be viewed as components of a generic "hyperspinor". We decompose the Higgs potential of this model into irreducible representations of the SU(2) group of transformations of this…
We derive constraints on two-dimensional conformal field theories with higher spin symmetry due to unitarity, modular invariance, and causality. We focus on CFTs with $\mathcal{W}_N$ symmetry in the "irrational" regime, where $c>N-1$ and…
Various formulas for currents with arbitrary spin are worked out in general space-time dimension, in the free field limit and, at the bare level, in presence of interactions. As the n-dimensional generalization of the (conformal) vector…
This article explores solutions to a generalised form of the Seiberg--Witten equations in higher dimensions, first introduced by Fine and the author. Starting with an oriented $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold with a…
The asymptotic structure of three-dimensional higher-spin anti-de Sitter gravity is analyzed in the metric approach, in which the fields are described by completely symmetric tensors and the dynamics is determined by the standard…
We prove a generalized version of the well-known Lichnerowicz formula for the square of the most general Dirac operator $\widetilde{D}$\ on an even-dimensional spin manifold associated to a metric connection $\widetilde{\nabla}$. We use…
We study curved-space rigid supersymmetry for two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric fields theories with a vector-like $R$-symmetry by coupling such theories to background supergravity. The associated Killing spinors can be…
The moduli space of the maximally supersymmetric heterotic string in d-dimensional Minkowski space contains various components characterized by the rank of the gauge symmetries of the vacua they parametrize. We develop an approach for…
A symmetry $SU(2,2)$ group in terms of ladder operators is presented for the Jacobi polynomials, $J_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)$, and the Wigner $d_j$-matrices where the spins $j=n+(\alpha+\beta)/2$ integer and half-integer are considered…
We comment on approaches to the Cosmological Constant Problem in 4+1 dimensions, with the Standard Model fields confined to a 3-brane. We show that requiring maximal 4D symmetry only on this 3-brane (and not on all other 3-branes that…
Higgs mechanism to massive higher-spin gauge fields is an outstanding open problem. We investigate this issue in the context of Kaluza-Klein compactification. Starting from a free massless higher-spin field in $(d+2)$-dimensional anti-de…
For a sequence $\mathbf w = \{w_j\}_{j = 2}^\infty$ of positive real numbers, consider the positive semi-definite kernel $\kappa_{\mathbf w}(s, u) = \sum_{j = 2}^\infty w_j j^{-s - \overline{u}}$ defined on some right-half plane $\mathbb…
We investigate various types of squeezing in a collective su(2J+1) system consisting of spin-J particles (J>1/2). We show that the squeezing in the collective su(2J+1) system can be classified into unitary equivalence classes, each of which…
Polarized inelastic neutron scattering experiments recently identified the amplitude (Higgs) mode in C$_9$H$_{18}$N$_2$CuBr$_4$, a two-dimensional near-quantum-critical spin-1/2 two-leg ladder compound, which exhibits a weak easy-axis…
Spin states of maximal projection along some direction in space are called (spin) coherent, and are, in many aspects, the "most classical" available. For any spin $s$, the spin coherent states form a 2-sphere in the projective Hilbert space…
We study the holography of the new conformal higher spin theories imposing general boundary conditions and the near horizon boundary conditions. General boundary conditions lead to the asymptotic symmetry algebra which is a loop algebra of…
