Dispersion relations let us leverage the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes to derive constraints such as bounds on EFT coefficients. An important input is the large-energy behavior of the amplitude. In this paper, we…
We study the oscillon/$Q$-ball relation in an extended model with non-canonical kinematics. The model contains a single real scalar field whose kinetic term is enlarged to include a generalizing function. We approximate the real sector up…
Black shells, a kind of black hole mimickers, are identified thermodynamically as bulk duals of baryon operators in vector models, indicating that such objects are essential for the consistency of higher spin gravity theories. Thermal…
We study holographic Krylov complexity in the Coulomb branch of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM. Adopting the proposal that the time derivative of the Krylov complexity is dual to the proper radial momentum of a massive particle, we investigate two probe…
We explain why Calabi-Yau and complete elliptic integrals do not contribute to conservative observables at fifth post-Minkowskian order, despite appearing in intermediate steps. At even loop orders, conservative contributions are tied to…
BPS quivers are central to our understanding of BPS states in 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric field theories and of D-branes at Calabi-Yau threefold singularities. The two subjects are deeply interrelated through geometric engineering in…
We analyze loop-induced group-like symmetries in theories where fields are labeled by basis elements of a fusion algebra constructed from the conjugacy classes of finite groups. Although the fusion rules for conjugacy classes are in general…
We discuss the semi-classical quantisation of supersymmetric membranes in holographic geometries with asymptotic AdS$_4$ and AdS$_7$ boundary conditions. In AdS$_4$ geometries this quantisation prompts the need of ensemble changes when…
We construct a two-dimensional action on the celestial sphere that describes the infrared sector of Abelian gauge and gravitational theories in four dimensions. In particular, we use the holographic model to reproduce (1) antipodal matching…
The electric Gauss law in 11D SuGra is famously non-linear, whence its flux quantization must be in nonabelian cohomology. We have previously shown that the minimal admissible choice is 4-Cohomotopy, which in the presence of magnetized…
The Covariant Phase Space Formalism (CPSF) provides a robust framework for deriving symplectic structures and surface charges in diffeomorphism-invariant theories. By construction, the CPSF operates on two distinct manifolds: the spacetime…
We compute the one-loop QED $\beta$-function coefficient directly from heat kernel data of the twisted Spin$^c$ Dirac operator on $S^3 \times S^1$. Using $\zeta$-function regularization, the logarithmic scale dependence is encoded in the…
Quantum error-correcting codes provide a powerful framework for emergent spacetime, yet existing holographic code models describe only quantum fields on a fixed background: in exact erasure-correcting codes, the entropic area term is state…
We continue our analysis of quantum corrections in the complex structure moduli space of four-dimensional Type IIB/F-theory compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry. We find that limits in the complex structure moduli space of F-theory…
A finite, scheme-independent Casimir contribution to the stress-energy tensor arises naturally for quantum fields in universes with non-trivial spatial topology. We compute this Casimir stress-energy tensor contribution for a conformally…
No-boundary instantons and Euclidean "wineglass" wormholes have both been proposed as providing suitable initial conditions for the current expanding phase of our universe, and in particular for providing conditions that are favorable to an…
We identify a local, gauge-invariant mechanism that generates a finite spectral scale in pure SU(3) Yang--Mills theory on a punctured three-ball. Fixing a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ center sector isolates a single gauge-invariant holonomy angle whose…
We construct new families of type-IIB supergravity solutions by employing TsT transformations on the ten-dimensional geometry that arises after the uplift of the five-dimensional soliton solution of Anabal\'on, Nastase, and Oyarzo. In…
Conserved currents of relativistic spin fluids derived from microscopic models are known to violate local thermodynamic relations. We present a systematic analysis of pseudo-gauge improvements in ideal spin hydrodynamics and identify a…
The best way to represent generic conformal blocks is provided by the free-field formalism, where they acquire a form of multiple Dotsenko-Fateev-like integrals of the screening operators. Degenerate conformal blocks can be described by the…
