This work investigates a modified theory of gravity where the Einstein-Hilbert action, including a cosmological constant, is non-minimally coupled to a Yang-Mills field via an \(R^3 F_{\mu \alpha}^{(a)} F^{(a)\mu \alpha}\) interaction term.…

We investigate the classification of self-dual nonlinear electrodynamic (NED) theories based on their analyticity properties, which are directly linked to invariance under a discrete $\varphi$-parity transformation. This classification is…

We revisit the Hawking evaporation history of low-temperature rotating black holes by taking into consideration the strong quantum fluctuations known to be present in the near-horizon, near-$\mathrm{AdS_2}$ throat region governed by an…

We present a string theory construction in which the particle physics contributions to the one-loop vacuum energy exactly cancel, whilst the gravitational contributions are suppressed in the size of one or two large extra dimensions. This…

Supergravity calculations of holographic four-point correlation functions are a powerful tool for deriving dynamical information about the dual field theory at strong coupling. Recently, a number of such computations have been performed by…

We consider a class of singlet operators $(\phi^2)^n$ in the three-dimensional $O(N)$ model with $\lambda^2 \phi^6$ interaction. Recently, the corresponding anomalous dimensions $\gamma_{2n}$ were computed by semiclassical methods and the…

We discuss Euclidean geometries in AdS$_3$ whose Lorentzian slicing gives rise to closed baby universes with a spatial geometry given by genus $g\geq 2$ surfaces. Our setup only involves a two-dimensional holographic CFT defined on a higher…

We develop a unified framework for analyzing black hole thermodynamics and spacetime structure in Einstein gravity coupled to causal nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) in asymptotically anti-de Sitter backgrounds. The electromagnetic sector is…

We study superconformal indices of four-dimensional $SU(N)$ gauge theories with $\mathcal{N}=1,2,4$ supersymmetry. The usual representation of a gauge theory index involves multiple contour integrals and reflects the BPS spectrum at zero…

We present a symbol-level bootstrap construction of the planar, two-loop six-gluon scattering amplitude for the --++++ helicity configuration in QCD, focusing on the maximal weight pieces-the "most complicated terms" in the sense of Lipatov…

We study New Massive Gravity (NMG) with Chern-Simons (CS), cubic, and quartic terms under the Comp\`ere-Song-Strominger (CSS) boundary conditions. By employing a semi-product of a Virasoro and a $U(1)$ Kac-Moody current algebra as the…

In higher dimensional theories, we often assume that the extra dimensions form an orientable space, perhaps with singularities. However, many physical theories are well-defined on non-orientable spaces, and many spaces are not orientable,…

Correlators in monomial Hermitian matrix model strongly depend on the choice of eigenvalue integration contours. We express Schur correlator in case of several different integration contours (mixed phase case) as a sum over products of…

We show that the coupling of a massive spin-2 field to undeformed N=1 supergravity in four dimensions is unique, leading to a specific non-minimal coupling to the Riemann tensor. The massive spin-2 coupling reproduces the one of an…

Symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT) is a convenient tool for studying finite generalized symmetries of a given quantum field theory (QFT). In particular, SymTFTs encode all the symmetry structures and properties, including anomalies.…

We study the giant graviton integrated correlator in SU$(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills at finite complexified coupling $\tau$. Despite the formidable complexity arising from the heavy nature of the operators considered, the large-$N$…

This paper is a contribution to the supersymmetry gap problem for supergravity backgrounds $(M,g,F)$ in $11$ dimensions. We study restrictions on the curvature of $(M,g,F)$ and, using the bijective correspondence between the space of…

A-theory realizes U-duality symmetry by extending the string worldsheet to a higher dimensional brane worldvolume, in which the worldvolume and the spacetime belong to different representations of the exceptional group. The closure of the…

In this work, I consider scalar field theory with negative quartic self-interaction, corresponding to an upside-down classical potential. Despite not possessing a classically stable ground state, such potentials are known to behave properly…

This thesis is devoted to the first-quantized approach to quantum field theory, commonly known as the 'Worldline Formalism'. It collects most of the works completed by the author during the PhD, illustrating the versatility and efficiency…
