Entanglement surfaces for rotating cylindrical black holes
We construct entanglement surfaces for rotating cylindrical black holes in a double holographic setup, extending previous results to the case of stationary backgrounds. We analyze both the 5d…

Two dimensional de-Sitter and deformed CFTs
We present an alternative dimensional reduction that yields an effective theory of dilatons in a two-dimensional de Sitter background. Specifically, by performing an S-wave reduction of…

Counting AdS Vacua
We study the 'number' N(μ) of AdS vacua with a UV cut off μ. It has been proposed that this number is finite. We find evidence that N(μ) a \ μ-b as…

Fortuity in ABJM
We study 1/12-BPS and 1/16-BPS cohomologies and the fortuitous mechanism in ABJM theory. We first establish the existence of fortuitous states in the N=1 theory, where the theory is abelian and…

From AdS correlators to Carrollian amplitudes with the scattering equation
The scattering equations relate massless scattering kinematics to marked points on a Riemann sphere, and underpin remarkable formulae for the full tree-level S-matrices of many interesting QFTs,…

Entanglement membrane in the Brownian SYK chain
There is mounting evidence that entanglement dynamics in chaotic many-body quantum systems in the limit of large subsystems and long times is described by an entanglement membrane effective theory.…

AdS4 Boundary Wightman functions in Twistor Space: Factorization, Conformal blocks and a Double Copy
We study real-time holographic four point Wightman functions involving scalars, photons, gluons and gravitons in the Poincare patch of AdS4. We show that when the momenta of the middle two…

Non-commutative deformations of gauge theories via Drinfel'd twists of the scale symmetry
In this paper we consider gauge theories that are relativistic and scale-invariant, and we construct their deformed versions via suitable star products. In particular, the non-commutative structure…

Chiral holography
Using twistor string theory, we engineer a gravitational holographic dual of the self-dual sector of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. This provides a top-down example of holography at zero…

Extremal couplings and gluon scattering in M-theory
We consider M-theory on the backgrounds AdS4× S7/ZNf and AdS7× S4/Z2, which have fixed point locii AdSd+1× S3 for d=3,6. These theories are…

Functorial properties of Schwinger-DeWitt expansion and Mellin-Barnes representation
We consider integral kernels for functions f( F) of a minimal second-order differential operator F(∇) on a curved spacetime. We show that they can be expanded in a functional…

A New Type of Saddle in the Euclidean IKKT Matrix Model and Its Emergent Geometry

Homotopy transfer for massive Kaluza-Klein modes
We develop techniques to treat massive Kaluza-Klein modes to arbitrary order in perturbation theory. The Higgs mechanism that renders the higher Kaluza-Klein modes massive is displayed. To this end…
