Topological defects and operators give a far-reaching generalization of symmetries of quantum fields. An auxiliary topological field theory in one dimension higher than the QFT of interest, known as the SymTFT, provides a natural way for…

We consider correlators smeared against directed wavepackets over a thermal state dual to a single-sided planar AdS black hole. In the large frequency limit, our measurement is simplified using a bulk WKB description. We propose a…

We compute solutions to the Hermitian Yang-Mills equations on holomorphic vector bundles $V$ via an alternating optimisation procedure founded on geometric machine learning. The proposed method is fully general with respect to the rank and…

We study the dynamics of an isotropic, planar AdS black hole charged under a pair of two-form gauge potentials. We prove that long wavelength, small amplitude perturbations of this state are governed by the relativistic theory of…

In this work, we investigate the renormalized energy--momentum tensor of a quantized charged scalar field in three-dimensional de Sitter spacetime $\mathrm{dS}_{3}$ under the influence of a uniform electric field. Using the adiabatic…

In this work, we initiate the study of light-ray operators in four-dimensional de Sitter space focusing on null integrals of the stress tensor. In Minkowski space, the null integral of the stress tensor unifies several ostensibly different…

We use a combination of perturbation theory, holography, supersymmetric localization, integrability, and numerical conformal bootstrap methods to constrain the energy-energy correlator in $\text{SU}(N_c)$ ${\mathcal N}=4$ SYM at finite…

In this paper we consider 4d $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ gauge theories with $N+1$ fundamentals, five antifundamentals and a conjugate two index antisymmetric tensor. The model has been shown to be in a mixed phase in the IR, splitting in an…

It is stated that the action of the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) area, which is viewed as an observable, generates a kink transformation in gravity. In this paper, we provide a further support for the kink transformation statement by…

Cosmological perturbations generated during inflation exhibit striking quantum features, including entanglement and high circuit complexity. Yet their observational signatures remain effectively indistinguishable from classical stochastic…

In this paper we study solutions to massive Type IIA supergravity which we propose are dual to co-dimension 2 monodromy defects in 6d (1,0) CFTs realised in NS5-D6-D8 brane systems, as well as in the 5d Sp(N) fixed point theory. In the…

We construct consistent effective equations of motion for massive charged particles of spin 2 and spin $3/2$ interacting with constant electromagnetic backgrounds. While tree-level unitarity restricts point-like particles to a universal…

Correlation functions of energy flow operators (energy-energy correlators) are one of the simplest observables in quantum field theory and gravity, with diverse applications ranging from real world collider physics to constraining the space…

We study line defects with a cusp in fermionic CFTs arising as fixed points of scalar-fermion theories with Yukawa interactions. These include the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model and some of its generalizations with additional scalar fields, which…

Given two otherwise decoupled $D$-dimensional CFTs which possess a common (finite) symmetry subcategory, one can consider entangled boundary states of their $(D+1)$-dimensional SymTFTs. This roughly corresponds to performing a gauging of…

We propose $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ dualities of supersymmetric boundary conditions in the three-dimensional supersymmetric field theories describing a semi-infinite M2-brane terminating on M5-branes. Specifically, we present dualities of…

Following our previous paper Quantum noncommutative ABJM theory: first steps, JHEP {\bf 1804} (2018) 070), in this article we investigate one-loop 1PI four-, and six-point functions by using the component formalism in the Landau gauge and…

We propose a generalization of the False Vacuum Skyrme model for any simple compact Lie groups $G$ that leads to Hermitian symmetric spaces. The Skyrme field that in the original theory takes its values in $SU(2)$ Lie group, now takes its…

We discuss the holographic correspondence between 3d "Chern-Simons gravity" and an ensemble of 2d Narain code CFTs. Starting from 3d abelian Chern-Simons theory, we construct an ensemble of boundary CFTs defined by gauging all possible…

We determine the scaling dimensions in the boundary $\mathsf{CFT}_{d}$ corresponding to the $\mathsf{O}(N)$ model in $\mathsf{EAdS}_{d+1}$. The $\mathsf{CFT}$ data accessible to the 4-point boundary correlator of fundamental fields are…
