We prove a version of the completeness hypothesis that follows from the coexistence of symmetry and gravity: tree-level gravitational scattering mandates single-particle states in all possible irreducible representations of the symmetry…
The ``holography of information'' (HoI) principle argues that gravity can encode information redundantly in asymptotic observables. Although HoI is ultimately a nonperturbative claim, its standard motivation uses semiclassical gravitational…
We construct a family of non-invertible topological defects in two-dimensional theories of $n$ Weyl fermions. The construction relies on the existence of $G$-symmetric conformal boundary conditions for $n$ Dirac fermions. Upon unfolding,…
Using holographic duality, we reveal a transition in vortex dipole dynamics below a critical dipole size in strongly interacting superfluids, characterized by a significant suppression of mutual friction. In the bulk, this transition is…
We extend our previous analysis [Phys. Rev. D 109, 065005 (2024)] of CPT-odd electromagnetic response in tilted, anisotropic Weyl semimetals to the overtilted (type-II) regime, where electron and hole pockets coexist at the Fermi level.…
We show that for a CFT$_D$ on a flat open solid torus, the two point function in the Weyl frame is exactly paired with a finite geodesic lying entirely in the AdS$_{D+1}$ bulk interior. This relation is exact and requires neither large $N$,…
We conjecture, and show in a plethora of examples, that the sphere partition function of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theories equals a sum of twisted traces on tensor products of Verma modules over the quantization of the moduli…
We present a pedagogical review of certain exact theoretical results concerning the physics of an imaginary world where one quark or more are deprived of their masses.
We propose a novel way of detecting gravitons using emission of photons from charged array of quantum harmonic oscillators placed inside of a cavity while the cavity is being pumped with low frequency photons. We observe that when the…
We present a covariant field-theoretical framework for a rank-4 tensor gauge field theory describing fractonic string-like objects. We show that the most general quadratic, parity-preserving action naturally leads to a Maxwell-like sector,…
In this paper, we investigate the higher-group symmetry structure of a five-dimensional topological theory, which is described by a 3-crossed module. The model is obtained by a five-dimensional extension of topological axion electrodynamics…
The Lee-Yang phase transition theory applied in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) black hole has inspired the exploration of complex phase diagram and supercritical phenomena in black hole thermodynamics. In this study, we extend the approach to the…
We explore a continuum theory of multicritical dynamical triangulations and causal dynamical triangulations in two-dimensional quantum gravity from the perspective of the Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin topological recursion. The former model lacks…
We classify the Fano and reflexive polytopes that arise from quasi-finite Feynman integrals. These polytopes appear as scaled Minkowski sums of the Newton polytopes associated with the Symanzik graph polynomials. For one-loop graphs and…
We investigate the high-energy, small-angle limit of two-body gravitational scattering. Using power counting arguments and dispersion relations in an effective field theory for the Regge regime, we derive the general loop expansion that…
We propose a refinement of the Kontsevich-Soibelman operator for a class of ``special'' 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories characterized by the following conditions: (1) their Coulomb branch admits a source/sink chamber, i.e.,…
We construct $AdS_3\times Y_7$ solutions of type IIB supergravity, where $Y_7$ is a smooth $S^5$ bundle over a spindle $\Sigma(n_N,n_S)$, which are dual to $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs in $d=2$. The solutions are constructed using the $D=5$…
In this paper, we show that the chiral soliton lattice (ChSL) is, in a precise sense, a universal feature of the low-energy limit of QCD minimally coupled to Maxwell theory. Here, we disclose that not only can the ChSL be obtained from the…
We show that, in two-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity without matter fields, the Schwinger-Dyson equations derived within the Hamiltonian framework of non-critical string field theory can be reformulated in terms of the…
In this note we consider examples of decomposition (in which a local QFT is equivalent to a disjoint union of multiple independent theories, known as universes) where there is a continuous familiy of universes, rather than a finite or…
