We review the notion of Yang-Baxter integrability for spin chains that have Hilbert spaces with constraints, such as a Rydberg blockade. We focus on anyonic chains, whose constraints arise from the fusion rules of the fusion categories on…

We study the time evolution of the entanglement structure of holographic conformal field theories after a local quench. Using the mutual information between two spatial intervals as a probe, we find that $1+1$-dimensional conformal field…

We analyse the r\^ole of approximate axionic shift symmetries in gravity-decoupling limits arising in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications. Associated with each shift symmetry there is an axionic string whose tension constrains the gradient…

We investigate $O(N)$ boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) with boundary interactions in $d=4-\epsilon$ and $d=3-\epsilon$ employing the analytic bootstrap. By deriving universal constraints on conformal data, we show that infinitely…

Scattering amplitudes in planar ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are dual to expectation values of null polygonal Wilson loops. The Amplituhedron provides a geometric construction for the all-loop integrand as the canonical…

We revisit the resulting bispectrum of inflation with kinetic-coupled vector fields by organizing the dynamics in terms of $h$, which measures the vector kinetic contribution relative to that of the scalar field. We evaluate the bispectrum…

We introduce `dualGNN', an autoregressive message-passing GNN for sampling fine, regular triangulations (FRTs) of convex polytopes. dualGNN operates on a generalization of the dual graph of a triangulation, with edges labeled by `signed…

Motivated by trans-Planckian issues in inflation, we determine the Hilbert space and amplitudes of quantum perturbations in the general low-energy effective theory of (multi-)field inflation without relying on the sub-horizon limit. The…

We observed that the null strings, tensionless strings with Carrollian worldsheets, exhibit an extra gauge symmetry, \textit{Carroll-Weyl} gauge symmetry, which cannot be obtained from ultra-relativistic Carrollian limit of tensile strings.…

Family puzzle asks why the Standard Model (SM) features exactly 3 families of quarks and leptons. Motivated by topological constraints, we study 4-dimensional fermionic anomalies with discrete $Z_n$ symmetry, classified by the 5d spin…

Null strings, strings with Carrollian worldsheets, are traditionally described by the Isberg-Lindstr\"om-Sundborg-Theodoridis (ILST) action, which is obtained via a tensionless limit of standard tensile strings. In a recent work, we…

We study how bulk propagation in global AdS$_3$ is encoded in boundary energy densities of the dual CFT$_2$ on the cylinder. A key feature of the global geometry, which is absent in the Poincar\'e-patch description, is that a null…

In this work, first, we discuss the connections between various low-dimensional quantum gravity models, including 3d Chern-Simons, 2d JT, 2d BF theory, 2d Liouville, 2d WZW, and 1d Schwarzian, which are related through holography and…

We revisit the computation of four-point wavefunction coefficients and correlators for external conformally coupled scalars exchanging a particle of generic mass and spin. Much of the phenomenology of cosmological collider physics in the…

We show that Maxwell theory with a codimension-$1$ Chern-Simons interface supports chiral electromagnetic surface waves on the interface, even when the bulk theory on both sides is conventional vacuum electrodynamics in infinite space.…

In holography, the complexity--momentum correspondence relates the increasing momentum of a point particle falling into an eternal black hole to the rate of growth of the Krylov complexity of the dual boundary state, a conjecture…

We observe that the null string action possesses a previously overlooked local symmetry. By correctly accounting for this symmetry, we show that the number of physical propagating degrees of freedom of null strings in $D$ dimensional target…

We apply the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) algorithm to the renormalization of scalar-QED theory, with a specific focus on the fixed-charge operator $\phi^Q$. Within the OPE framework, the anomalous dimension of the $\phi^Q$ operator is…

In the case of a D-dimensional non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory (without any interaction with the matter fields), we show that the application of the Noether theorem does not lead to the derivations of the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST)…

Our recent paper~\cite{FST} with Claudia Scheimbauer uses the cobordism hypothesis to construct fully local Chern-Simons theories. Here we expose some physics motivations: Yang-Mills plus Chern-Simons in the bosonic case and the free…
