In the Correlation Clustering problem, we are given a complete weighted graph $G$ with its edges labeled as "similar" and "dissimilar" by a noisy binary classifier. For a clustering $\mathcal{C}$ of graph $G$, a similar edge is in…

We continue the study of a recently proposed solvable irrelevant deformation of an AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence that leads in the UV to a theory with Hagedorn spectrum. This can be thought of as a single trace analog of the…

In the present paper we examine the relationship between several type $A$ cluster theories and structures. We define a 2D geometric model of a cluster theory, which generalizes cluster algebras from surfaces, and encode several existing…

We discuss in the planar approximation the effect of double-trace deformations on CFT's. We show that this large class of models posses a conformal window describing a non-trivial flow between two fixed points of the renormalization group,…

We study anomalies of non-invertible duality symmetries in both 2d and 4d, employing the tool of the Symmetry TFT. In the 2d case we rephrase the known obstruction theory for the Tambara-Yamagami fusion category in a way easily…

Let $\CC$ be a Hom-finite triangulated 2-Calabi-Yau category with a cluster-tilting object $T$. Under a constructibility condition we prove the existence of a set $\mathcal G^T(\CC)$ of generic values of the cluster character associated to…

It is an interesting question whether a given infra-red duality between quantum field theories can be explained in terms of other more elementary dualities. For example recently it has been shown that mirror dualities can be obtained by…

Motivated by the problem of background independence of closed string field theory we study geometry on the infinite vector bundle of local fields over the space of conformal field theories (CFT's). With any connection we can associate an…

Worldsheet string theory is solvable for a variety of backgrounds involving Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, in terms of gauged nonlinear sigma models on group manifolds. We compute the worldsheet torus partition function of these models, and…

We concentrate on a treatment of a Higgs-Coulomb duality as an absence of manifest phase transition between ordered and disordered phases of 2d $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ theories. We consider these examples of QFTs in the Schr\"odinger picture…

We consider generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence in which probe branes are embedded in gravity backgrounds dual to either conformal or confining gauge theories. These correspond to defect conformal field theories (dCFT) or QCD-like…

We consider the diffeological pseudo-bundles of exterior algebras, and the Clifford action of the corresponding Clifford algebras, associated to a given finite-dimensional and locally trivial diffeological vector pseudo-bundle, as well as…

We examine conformal rescaling and T-duality in the context of four-dimensional HKT geometries. The closure of the torsion forces the conformal factor to satisfy a modified harmonic equation. Because of this equation the conformal factors…

We give more precise statements of Fock-Goncharov duality conjecture for cluster varieties parametrizing ${\rm SL}_{2}/{\rm PGL}_{2}$-local systems on the once punctured torus. Then we prove these statements. Along the way, using distinct…

We use localization techniques to study several duality proposals for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions reminiscent of Seiberg duality. We compare the partition functions of dual theories deformed by real mass terms and FI…

We identify a class of point-particle models that exhibit a target-space duality. This duality arises from a construction based on supersymmetric quantum mechanics with a non-vanishing central charge. Motivated by analogies to string…

In order to be efficient, spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys do not obtain redshifts for all galaxies in the population targeted. The missing galaxies are often clustered, commonly leading to a lower proportion of successful observations…

Constrained density functional theory (CDFT) is used to evaluate the energy level alignment of a benzene molecule as it approaches a graphene sheet. Within CDFT the problem is conveniently mapped onto evaluating total energy differences…

We revisit certain aspects of thermalization in 2D CFT. In particular, we consider similarities and differences between the time dependence of correlation functions in various states in rational and non-rational CFTs. We also consider the…

We study non-invertible duality symmetries by gauging a diagonal subgroup of a non-anomalous U(1) $\times$ U(1) global symmetry. In particular, we employ the half-space gauging to $c=2$ bosonic torus conformal field theory (CFT) in two…
