The thermodynamics of de Sitter black holes is complicated by the presence of two horizons and the absence of a globally defined timelike Killing vector. The standard choice of the Gibbons-Hawking Killing vector is at odds with the…

Spectral statistics of quantum chaotic systems are governed by random matrix universality. In many cases of interest, time-reversal symmetry selects the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) as the relevant universality class. In holographic…

Recent work has shown that couplings multiplying individual terms in a Lagrangian can be promoted to conserved charges by introducing scalar-gauge pairs. The gravitational constant, however, plays a qualitatively different role: $G^{-1}$…

We study the three-loop gauge $\beta$-functions in general $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories regularized by higher covariant derivatives (HCD) supplemented with Pauli--Villars subtraction. The all-structure three-loop form of…

Carrollian conformal field theory offers an alternative description of massless scattering amplitudes, that is holographic in nature. In an effort to build a framework that is both predictive and constraining, we construct operator product…

We carefully analyse the challenges posed by the construction of type IIB chiral global embeddings of Fibre Inflation with $\overline{ \rm D3}$ uplift to a de Sitter vacuum. We present an explicit example involving an $h^{1,1}=4$ Calabi-Yau…

BPS states in type II string compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold can typically be decomposed as moduli-dependent bound states of absolutely stable constituents, with a hierarchical structure labelled by attractor flow trees. This…

In this work, we build a novel frequency-momentum space for $(d+1)$-dimensional de Sitter (dS) correlators from first principles. This construction follows directly from the decomposition into unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of…

We develop a primal bootstrap framework for effective field theories in the presence of a graviton pole, based on finite-resolution sampling rather than smearing, while also allowing direct control over the number of subtractions. We show…

In this note we explore monodromy defects for non-invertible symmetries in Maxwell theory, exploiting the conformal mapping to $AdS_{3} \times S^{1}$. With this approach we recover the spectrum of the defect conformal primaries. We also…

The Wilson line defect half-indices for 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories with boundary confining phases admit a formulation in terms of the Askey-Wilson type moments. In the dual Landau-Ginzburg description the dual line operators can be…

Quasi-primary correlators in two-dimensional conformal field theories deformed simultaneously by $T\bar T$ and root-$T\bar T$ are studied. A path-integral formulation motivated by the geometric realization of the combined deformation is…

We extend the OPE-based renormalization algorithm to composite operators with operator mixing, focusing on scalar operators in $\phi^4$ and $\phi^3$ models. Using the OPE of operators with a fundamental field, we show that the $Z$-factors…

In low-energy supergravity treatment of type IIB superstring on general D-instanton wormhole profiles in the bulk, we obtain non-vanishing scalar two-point functions in addition to the vanishing $\langle \tau^* \tau^* \rangle$ that…

We revisit the proposal to cure the negative density of states in the three-dimensional gravitational path integral by adding spinning states whose spin scales with the central charge. We show that sub-extremal and extremal spinning states…

We investigate the behaviour of quantum fields in null-shifted Rindler wedges and analyse the particle spectra perceived by accelerated observers associated with these null deformations. Unlike the standard Unruh effect, our analysis…

We present a theoretical analysis of the one-loop effective potential of a self-interacting real scalar field in the presence of two parallel conducting plates with geometric roughness. Using WKB methods to evaluate the spectral density of…

We derive the reduced Dirac Hamiltonian on the non-rotating BTZ background and use its redshift structure to construct a gauge-covariant single-band lattice model on the constant-time BTZ cylinder. In equal-area coordinates the AdS radius…

We investigate fermions on Carrollian manifolds. We complement previous intrinsic analysis by deriving Carrollian fermion actions from a relativistic Dirac theory via a systematic expansion in the speed of light ($c$). We then study…

We consider Einstein gravity coupled to two Maxwell fields and one dilatonic scalar, and construct spherically-symmetric and static black holes that are charged under both Maxwell fields in general $D$ dimensions. We find that for suitable…
