Entanglement Enabled Tomography of Flux Tubes in (2+1)D Yang-Mills Theory
We investigate the entangling properties of the color flux tube between a static quark-antiquark pair in pure gauge Yang-Mills theory. In earlier works, we defined a gauge-invariant flux tube…

An M2/M5 Duality from the Giant Graviton Expansion
We conjecture a precise relation between the superconformal indices of two theories defined in different spacetime dimensions. The first is the three-dimensional ABJM theory describing the…

Worldline-Induced Transparency
We show that the Unruh response can be interferometrically suppressed or restored in a single Unruh--DeWitt detector whose center-of-mass is prepared in a coherent superposition of two uniformly…

Hidden Zeros in Massive Theories
We investigate whether the hidden zeros and associated factorisations found for massless colour-ordered amplitudes persist under massive deformations. Using the kinematic mesh construction, we show…

Multisymplectic AKSZ sigma models
The Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky (AKSZ) construction encodes all the data of a topological sigma-model in the finite-dimensional symplectic Q-manifold. Relaxing the nondegeneracy…

Energy-momentum tensor from diffeomorphism invariance in classical electrodynamics
We reexamine the energy-momentum tensor in classical electrodynamics from the perspective of spacetime-dependent translations, i.e., diffeomorphism invariance in flat spacetime. When energy-momentum…

Gauge Theory and Skein Modules
We study skein modules of 3-manifolds by embedding them into the Hilbert spaces of 4d N=4 super-Yang-Mills theories. When the 3-manifold has reduced holonomy, we present an algorithm to…

Matrix Bootstrap Approximation without Positivity Constraint
We propose a bootstrap approximation method for the Hermitian one-matrix model that does not rely on positivity constraints. The theoretical foundation of this method is that the one-matrix model…

The thermal backreaction of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. II. Spectrum enhancement and holography
We study a spacetime obtained from the semi-classical backreaction computed via the Thermofield dynamics approach in the Poincare patch of de Sitter spacetime. The resulting bulk equation takes the…

Heavy holographic correlators in defect conformal field theories
We study holographic defect conformal field theories which are dual to probe branes with bottom-up methods. First we determine the embedding of codimension-1 interface branes in AdS space. Then we…

Vacuum structure of gapped QCD2 theories from the infinite Hamiltonian lattice
Gapped two-dimensional gauge theories with massless fermions generically have rich vacuum structures consisting of many degenerate vacua related by the action of topological line operators. The…

Multi-particle correlators with higher KK modes I: a bootstrap approach

A Lattice U(1) Chern-Simons Theory via Lattice Deligne-Beilinson Cohomology
We define Deligne-Beilinson (DB) cohomology on a cubic lattice and use it to formulate and analyze lattice U(1) Chern-Simons theory at even levels. The continuum DB cohomology provides a refined…

A Computational Companion to Transient de Sitter and Quasi de Sitter States in SO(32) and E8 X E8 Heterotic String Theories I: Formalisms
We construct four-dimensional de Sitter space as an excited state, rather than as a vacuum configuration, in type IIB, heterotic SO(32), and heterotic E8 × E8 string theories. This framework…
