The negativity core of a 1+1D massless scalar quantum field
Vacuum entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum field theory exhibiting rich structure that is not completely understood. Here, we provide a complete characterization of the entanglement…

Compact structures in impurity-doped vacuumless systems
We investigate novel structures which arise from the compactification of vacuumless kinks in scalar field models coupled to impurities that preserve half the BPS sectors, described by first-order…

Brane-probes response to poly-vector deformations
We probe poly-vector deformations of Type II backgrounds using the fundamental string, D0-brane and D3-brane, and of the 11D membrane background by the fundamental M2-brane. We show that the…

Counting Degrees of Freedom in Open Effective Theories
Open effective field theories provide a systematic framework for describing physical systems interacting with an environment whose microscopic details are unknown, unobservable, or uncalculable. A…

The Smarr Formula is Gauss's Law: A Kerr-Schild Single-Copy Perspective
In the Kerr-Schild double copy, static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions of general relativity are mapped to purely electric solutions of Maxwell's theory in flat spacetime. We…

Schwinger-Keldysh Path Integral for Gauge theories
We develop the Schwinger-Keldysh path-integral formalism for open non-Abelian gauge theories that are gauge-fixed via the BRST method in covariant gauges. We focus on generic initial states, pure and…

Circular strings, magnons, plane waves and local quenches in BTZ
We show that string theory on the geometry BTZ× S3× M supported with either Neveu-Schwarz flux or Ramond flux admits states which obey identical dispersion relations to those of…

Note on higher spins and holographic symmetry algebra
In this paper we discuss a higher spin extension of the holographic symmetry algebra for graviton and gluon. Our primary observation is that in the presence of higher spin particles the soft symmetry…

Central Charges and Vacuum Moduli of 2d N=(0,4) Theories from Class S
We investigate 2d N=(0,4) supersymmetric theories obtained from a topologically-twisted reduction of 4d N=2 class S theories on a Riemann surface. This study…

Quantum Oscillons are Long-Lived
As the longest lived transient, oscillons play a critical role in classical field theory simulations of many phenomena. However, beyond the classical approximation, it is well-known that quantum…

Gauging Open EFTs from the top down
We present explicit top-down calculations of Open EFTs for gauged degrees of freedom with a focus on the effects of gauge fixing. Starting from the in-in contour with two copies of the action, we…

Klein Bottle Cosmology
We explore a higher-dimensional universe that is a product of Minkowski space and the nonorientable Klein bottle. The topology explicitly breaks important symmetries, such as translational invariance…

Effective density matrix for vacua in asymptotically flat gravity
We explicitly construct the density matrix associated to the vacuum state of a large spherically symmetric causal diamond of area A in four-dimensional asymptotically flat gravity. We achieve this…

Anatomy of the simplest renormalon
Perhaps the simplest IR renormalon occurs in the ground state energy of a superrenormalizable model, the scalar O(N) theory in two dimensions with a quartic potential and negative squared mass. We…

Thermal effects and finite-temperature cosmology in perturbatively stabilized large volume scenarios
