Anomalies and Parity-Violating Interactions: From Conformal to Thermal Field Theory
Chiral and conformal anomalies are fundamental phenomena that span multiple disciplines, including high-energy physics, condensed matter theory and cosmology. These anomalies play a crucial role in…

The Use of Torsion in Supergravity Uplifts and Covariant Fractons
The aim of this Thesis is twofold. On the one hand, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a maximally supersymmetric supergravity theory in 3D to be a solution of 11D supergravity (but…

Shockwaves and Time Delays in Einstein-Maxwell Effective Field Theory
We derive the shockwave metric in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell effective field theory (EFT) by performing an ultra-relativistic boost of the charged black hole solution accompanied by a…

Unleash Q! Cohomology, Localization, and Interpolation in Parisi-Sourlas Supersymmetry
Parisi-Sourlas supersymmetric models are known to undergo dimensional reduction; that is, their physics is captured by models in two fewer dimensions. In this work, we revisit dimensional reduction,…

Lanczos Meets Orthogonal Polynomials
We establish a direct correspondence between the Lanczos approach and the orthogonal polynomials approach in random matrix theory. In the large-N and continuum limits, the average Lanczos…

Scalar, vector and tensor fields on dS3 with arbitrary sources: harmonic analysis and antipodal maps
The scalar, vector and tensor spherical harmonics on three-dimensional de Sitter spacetime are defined and analyzed. Each harmonic defines two sets of asymptotic data on the two-sphere in the…

Confinement by Monopole Loops in Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field
We show that a generalized Polyakov mechanism can lead to confinement at weak coupling in 3+1 dimensions when the theory is placed in a non-trivial, spatially varying magnetic field background.…

3d Chern--Simons matter theories from generalized Argyres--Douglas theories
We study 3d N=2 Chern--Simons matter theories describing the R-twisted S1-reduction of Argyres--Douglas theories of (AM-1,AN-1) type with gcd(M,N)=1, via a…

Thermal spectral function asymptotics and black hole singularity in holography
We investigate the analytic structure of thermal spectral function of holographic CFTs, synthesizing recent developments into a set of observations about its asymptotics. Specifically, for a class of…

Nonlinearly Realised Defect Symmetries and Anomalies
Conformal defects -- extended objects in conformal field theories -- carry localised excitations inherited from symmetry currents, known as the displacements and tilts. They capture the linear…

Charged black holes in the 1/N expansion
We study some implications of SU(N)× U(1) theories coupled to gravity in the large-N limit. We find that in theories with quarks transforming as q (N,1), black holes (BH) with…

Quantum microstate counting from Brownian motion: from many-body systems to black holes
We introduce a new way to produce infinite families of bases of a quantum system's Hilbert space, as well as methods to find its dimension. These families are constructed via Brownian motions in…

Revisiting the tensionless limit of pure-Ramond-Ramond AdS3/CFT2

Integrable models from 4d holomorphic BF theory
We show how to construct 2d field theories with holomorphic integrability from defect setups in 4d holomorphic BF. In a simple example setup, we explicitly construct the 2d theory and perform an…
