The Wilson spool is a prescription for expressing one-loop determinants as topological line operators in three-dimensional gravity. We extend this program to describe massive spinning fields on all smooth, cusp-free, solutions of Euclidean…
Invoking increasingly higher dimension operators to encode novel UV physics in effective gauge and gravity theories traditionally means working with increasingly more finicky and difficult expressions. We demonstrate that local higher…
