An application of the Newton-Cartan framework to the study of membranes is presented. Specifically, for membranes of co-dimension one in hydrostatic equilibrium embedded in a flat ambient Newton-Cartan spacetime. For such membranes, the…
Ageing phenomena far from equilibrium naturally present dynamical scaling and in many situations this may generalised to local scale-invariance. Generically, the absence of time-translation-invariance implies that each scaling operator is…
We compute the entanglement entropy across a Rindler horizon in scalar field theory with Yukawa interaction. Starting from a microscopic scalar-mediator theory in flat spacetime, we integrate out the massive mediator to obtain a quadratic…
Integral discriminants provide a simple and fundamental model for non-Gaussian integrals, associated with homogeneous polynomials of degree r in n variables. We argue that, in this context, the study of correlators is equally if not more…
A review of the $\sigma$-model approach to derivation of effective string equations of motion for the massless fields is presented. We limit our consideration to the case of the tree approximation in the closed bosonic string theory.
The double copy is by now a well-established relationship between scattering amplitudes and classical solutions in gauge and gravity (field) theories, and is itself inspired by amplitude relations in string theory. In this paper, we…
The dynamical content of equations resulting from rank-two covariant derivatives in $B_2$ Coxeter theory in $AdS_4$ are analyzed in terms of $\sigma_-$-complexes. Primary fields and gauge-invariant differential operators on primary fields…
In this talk, we discuss how ideas from geometry help to improve Feynman integral reduction and the construction of $\varepsilon$-factorised differential equations. In particular, we outline a systematic procedure to obtain an…
We explore recent proposal to represent worldsheet string path integrals by integrating over parameters of a wide random-feature neural network whose output is identified with the embedding field $X^\mu$. In this paper we extend it focusing…
We adopt the improved Reall-Santos method to obtain the leading-order perturbative correction of the quadratic curvature invariants to the on-shell Euclidean action of rotating anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes in general $D$ dimensions. The…
In this paper we extend recent ideas about observers and closed universes to theories where observers can be fluctuated into existence in the Hartle-Hawking state. This introduces a phenomenon that was not considered in these earlier…
In arXiv:2211.09069, significant progress was made in decomposing simple products of fermion correlation functions, and in summing over spin structures of superstring amplitudes in genus two under cyclic constraints. In this manuscript we…
In this paper, we consider the Euclidean partition function of uncharged and charged $AdS_{d+1}$ black hole geometries in canonical and grand canonical ensemble for $d\geq3$. It is seen that the partition function can be reduced to a…
We develop a localized particle detector model formulated as a massive quantum field on Minkowski spacetime with the spatial origin excised. To render the problem well-posed at the puncture, we impose boundary conditions at the excised…
In Hermitian systems, Krylov complexity has emerged as a powerful diagnostic of quantum dynamics, capable of distinguishing chaotic from integrable phases, in agreement with established probes such as spectral statistics and…
We consider the entropic force in matrix theory. We find the gravity in bulk can be emergent from the entropic force.
Twisting and classical background fields are two foundational techniques in supersymmetric quantum field theory, central to developments ranging from the Higgs mechanism to topological twisting and supersymmetric localisation. While…
We propose an algebro-geometric interpretation of the Schur and Macdonald indices of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs). We conjecture that there exists an affine scheme $X$, which reduces to the Higgs…
We establish a no-go result for the infrared sector of quantum electrodynamics. Using the standard Fock-space formulation, we show that gauge invariance enforces coherent soft-photon phases that guarantee the…
Motivated by bulk reconstruction of smeared boundary operators, we study the Krylov complexity of local and non-local primary CFT$_d$ operators from the local bulk-to-bulk propagator of a minimally-coupled massive scalar field in…
