We extend the spacetime duality programme of Burgess \textit{et.al.} to massive theories in 1+1 dimensions. For the massive scalar, a heat-kernel computation tracking three contributions to the conformal-mode effective action reveals that…

We study the multidimensional erratic structure of correlation functions produced by local operator quenches in finite-volume free massive scalar field theory in dimensions 2 and 3. The basic observable is the subtracted equal-time…

We study the low-impact-parameter bootstrap for gravitational effective field theories (EFTs) using the stringy dispersion relation (SDR). After incorporating eikonal spectral support, we ask where the residual spectrum is supported in…

We propose a systematic framework for constructing six-dimensional supergravity theories with eight supercharges that respect all known consistency constraints, including anomaly cancellation and the non-perturbative ${\it H}$-string…

We provide a new formal extension of the BFSS matrix model by an additional 5-bracket. Maximal supersymmetry leads us to promote the BFSS 2-bracket structure constants to a dynamical field governed by a Chern-Simons-like kinetic term, as…

Large charged black holes can create macroscopic, locally weakly curved regions in which moduli take values different from their asymptotic values. We study how robust this mechanism is once the scalar has a nontrivial potential. In…

Due to the exponential growth in the number of terms, computing $\alpha'$-corrections to string theory's low-energy effective actions is a challenging matter. In order to fix all the couplings, one has usually to deal with a large number of…

In this paper we will examine if nonlocal quantum field theory will suffer from the fermion doubling pathology. We find that for a nonlocal Dirac theory, that no additional fermion species are introduced. This is provided that the form…

We give a geometric derivation of Li'enard--Wiechert fields in flat space and in global AdS, emphasizing the origin of antipodal matching. In flat space, the field of a uniformly moving charge is obtained by using coordinates centered on…

I construct the Type-IIB axion--dilaton wormhole partition function from charge-sector data. In a chosen axion charge, equivalently form-field flux sector, the long-distance saddle calculation supplies a two-end operator term with…

We revisit the old problem of analytically continuing QFTs to fractional dimension $d\in\mathbb C$. We observe that common theories like QCD and QED have branch cuts in the complex $d$ plane. In particular, many operators in their…

In this work, we present the procedure to find series representations of tree-level cosmological correlators using the Kontorovich-Lebedev-Fourier (KLF) space formalism. This framework allows us to trade the in-in nested time integrals for…

State Krylov, or spread, complexity is a property of a pair $(H,\ket{K_0})$ rather than of the Hamiltonian alone. Thus, changing the initial state at fixed $H$ generally changes the Lanczos coefficients and the ordered Krylov basis. We…

We analyze the finite-temperature two-point function of the large-$N$ SYK model at intermediate couplings away from the infrared fixed point. Specifically, we examine its analytic structure in the complex time plane, tracking the…

The development of Group Theory in Mathematics as well as its impact in Physics has been spectacular during the twentieth century, and more particularly these last fifty years. If its contribution to Particle Physics deserves a special…

We extend the coadjoint orbit approach to bosonization systematized by Delacretaz-Du-Mehta-Son to double-scaled non-relativistic Fermi liquids with central inverted harmonic oscillator potential. In 1+1d, this reproduces the Das-Jevicki…

We establish a rigorous geometric correspondence between thermal partition functions of discrete-spectrum quantum systems with bounded ground energy and the Chern character of "virtual physical sheaf" over spacetime. By interpreting…

In generalized, also known as $p$-brane Galilei limits, the speed of light $c$ becomes infinite in the directions transverse to a $(p+1)$-dimensional Lorentzian worldvolume. In this paper, we explain that allowing the worldvolume to be…

We derive a reduction formula for matrix elements on a causal set background. We derive an infinite tower of relations between correlators, akin to the Schwinger-Dyson equations of the continuum. Combining these two results we are able to…

We study anomalous Wess-Zumino-Witten terms associated with the chiral anomaly in dense QCD matter under magnetic fields and rotation. By introducing electromagnetic, baryon number, and isospin background gauge fields, we write down the…
