Within the framework of the functional renormalization group, we derived the flow equations for the scale-dependent effective action at finite temperature for models involving an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor field. The analysis focuses on…
A given topological manifold can sometimes be endowed with inequivalent differential structures. Physically this means that what is meant by a differentiable function (smooth) is simply different for observers using inequivalent…
In a recent work, Ogawa et al. (2024) proposed a model for celestial conformal field theory (CFT) based on the $H_{3}^{+}$-Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model. In this paper, we extend the model advanced by Ogawa et al. (2024),…
We consider the ``metric-affine-like'' generalization of the Yang-Mills theory (mal-YM) which we first proposed earlier. In this model, the connection is no longer assumed to be compatible with the Hermitian form in the fibers. As a…
We develop a rigorous evaluation of Dirac brackets for classical observables on the phase space of radiative gravitational modes at null infinity that naturally incorporates memory effects. Considering the Ashtekar-Streubel phase space,…
We investigate the description of quark confinement in terms of confining strings or flux tubes. We show that compact QED with a topological $\theta$-term, in the dyon condensation phase, is described by a massive two-form field $B_{\mu…
In this work, we address the unresolved type III cases of the algebraic reconstruction theorem by integrating crossed product algebras and semiclassical approximations. We first derive that the relative entropy in crossed product algebras…
We argue that if de Sitter space is indeed represented by a finite dimensional quantum system, then semi-classical considerations, combined with the fundamental principles of quantum measurement theory, imply that any theoretical model of…
This paper aims to clarify conceptual aspects of emergent structure in IKKT-type matrix models. Even without any adjustable parameters in the action, non-trivial matrix vacua do acquire a meaningful coupling constant, as well as two…
We review a framework for the conformal bootstrap that does not rely on positivity and treats the infinite tower of high-dimension OPE contributions to conformal correlators through dispersion relations and neural networks. We apply it to…
I review the Feynman-Wiener path-integral formalism for diffusion with drift and jumps.
We study the collision dynamics of localized oscillons in two classes of $(1+1)$-dimensional scalar field theories with metastable false vacua, a normal class with a positive quartic self-interaction term and an inverted class with a…
In this work, we investigate the thermodynamic geometry of Reissner-Nordstrom Anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS) black holes with quintessence in the grand canonical ensemble. The analysis employs the Ruppeiner curvature scalar to elucidate the…
We study quantum chaos in $\textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}}$-deformed two-dimensional conformal field theories with gravitational anomaly and their holographic dual description in topologically massive gravity. Using pole-skipping and…
Center one-form symmetries in consistent quantum gravity theories are expected to be either broken or gauged, thereby determining the global form of the gauge group. We shed light on this expectation from the perspective of distinguished…
We consider a model of 3d quantum gravity defined by $n$ copies of a rational Virasoro TQFT with central charge $1/2$, summed over all 3d topologies. This theory is holographically dual to an ensemble of all 2d CFTs with central charge…
Understanding stochastic inflation, and in particular the systematic computation of controlled corrections from first principles, remains an important open problem. In this work, we address this problem from two complementary perspectives.…
Hints of cosmic microwave background polarization rotation ($\Delta\vartheta \sim 10^{-3}$ rad) are commonly attributed to late-time dynamics of ultralight axions. We show that such ultralight degrees of freedom are not required.…
In this paper, we investigate axion physics in 4D F-theory MSSM models. We derive the axion coupling term with QCD gauge fields and the axion potential from a top-down perspective, from both IIB superstring and the dual M-theory picture.…
The Euclidean Nariai geometry has long been proposed as the instanton describing the nucleation of maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space. We place this interpretation on firmer footing by showing that, once an observer is included,…
