We apply a variety of machine learning methods to the study of Seiberg duality within 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ quantum field theories arising on the worldvolumes of D3-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds. Such theories admit an elegant…

The Karch-Randall braneworld concerns the physics of an AdS$_{d}$ brane embedded in an ambient gravitational AdS$_{d+1}$ spacetime. The gravitational theory induced on the AdS$_{d}$ brane has a very light but massive graviton. It has been…

In this review, we discuss the relevance and impact of studying Calabi-Yau threefolds in the context of global model building in string phenomenology. First, taking a phenomenologist-friendly approach, we review how the topologies of the…

We review the quantization of scalar field theory on $\lambda$-Minkowski space using the Batalin--Vilkovisky (BV) formalism. We consider $\phi^3$-theory in two different quantization schemes: standard and braided. While standard BV…

The 'Species Scale' has proved to be an important concept when studying consistent effective actions in Quantum Gravity. This is a short summary of my contribution to the Corfu Summer Institute in September 2025, in which I covered two…

An asymptotically flat spacetime in $D=4$ can be mapped via Couch-Torrence conformal inversion to the geometry around an extremal non-expanding and non-rotating horizon. At the linearized level, an infinite tower of conserved Newman-Penrose…

Using the path-integral formalism, we show that photons possess a nontrivial quantum metric in momentum space. We derive the semiclassical action and equations of motion by taking into account the quantum metric. In media with a spatially…

We study the celestial three-gluon amplitude in a dilaton background through the Mellin-Liouville formulation proposed by Stieberger, Taylor and Zhu (STZ). The original map contains an ambiguity in the identification of Liouville and Mellin…

We consider non-equilibrium evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations in a hydrodynamic system undergoing a boost-invariant expansion described by Bjorken flow. We derive the evolution equations for two- and three-point velocity correlators…

Bilocal holography provides a constructive approach to the higher-spin gravity theories dual to vector-model conformal field theories. Its central advantage is that it is completely gauge fixed and formulated entirely in terms of physical…

Rotating calorons were introduced in the context of rotating quark-gluon plasmas. They are anti-self-dual gauge fields on $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are invariant under a glide rotation. We formulate a Nahm transform which identifies rotating…

We compute exact finite-rank BPS generating functions for the fermionic matrix model with single-trace supercharge $Q_p=\operatorname{tr}(\Psi^p)$ at $(p,N)=(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(7,4)$, together with partial data at $(7,5)$. In all complete…

The walled Brauer algebras $B_N(m,n)$ govern Schur--Weyl duality for unitary groups $U(N)$ acting on mixed tensor spaces $V_N^{\otimes m}\otimes \overline{V}_N^{\otimes n}$ and play an important role in applications ranging from AdS/CFT to…

We provide a holographic bulk realization of Carrollian free-field structures arising in three-dimensional asymptotically flat (higher-spin) gravity. We construct a class of boundary conditions that generalizes the diagonal gauge of Anti-de…

We find the perturbative potential on the 3d $\mathcal{N}\!=\!2$ Coulomb branch arising from a chiral 4d $\mathcal{N}\!=\!1$ gauge theory on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1$, zeta-regularizing the D-term couplings generated by the Kaluza-Klein…

Recent proposals suggest that a notion of generalized complexity, analogous to generalized entropy, may be necessary for understanding the dynamics of holographic complexity in settings where quantum effects are non-negligible, such as…

Neural network field theory (NNFT) represents fields as neural networks and samples field configurations by drawing network parameters from a probability distribution. We identify a previously unexplored architectural freedom in NNFT,…

In this work, we revisit black hole Love numbers from two complementary perspectives. First, we develop a manifestly gauge-invariant framework that directly integrates out the short-distance degrees of freedom of a static black hole in…

In this work, we construct a double O(3)-sigma model minimally coupled to a Maxwell field in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime and investigate the existence of self-dual magnetic vortex solutions. An analysis of the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield…

We analyze the nonabelian surface holonomy on a bipartite hypercubic lattice following a proposal in arXiv:1002.4636 [hep-th]. The bipartite structure of the lattice enables us to introduce spike string configurations. These spikes play a…
