Bounds on Discrete Gauge Symmetries in Supergravity
We place bounds on the order of enhanced discrete gauge symmetries that act on massless fields and thus arise at subloci of the moduli space in supergravity theories. We focus on supersymmetric…

Comments on the gauge dependence of the effective potential and the utility of the Vilkovisky-DeWitt formalism
We provide some additional comments on the long-lived discussions surrounding an effective action and potential plagued by a number of ambiguities. We reinforce the importance of an extra condition…

On BRST-Related Symmetries in the FLPR Model with Gribov Ambiguities
With a recent revival, novel features of the FLPR model have been reported in the literature. A connection between those features to QCD involving the Gribov problem is explored. We investigate the…

Gluing Quantum Spectral Curves: A Two-Copy osp(4|2) Construction
We propose a Quantum Spectral Curve for planar string theory on AdS3*S3*S3*S1 supported by pure Ramond-Ramond flux. Our proposal is built on symmetry considerations and integrability-based functional…

Fooling the Censor: Going beyond inner horizons with the OPE

Bouncing off a stringy singularity
A sharp signature of the black hole singularity in holography is a divergence in the boundary thermal two-point function at a specific point in the complex time plane. This divergence arises from a…

All-order generalized Green-Schwarz transformations
Compatibility with T-duality severely constrains higher-derivative corrections to the low-energy supergravity limits of string theory. For example, it suggests that Lorentz transformations for…

Konishi lifts a black hole
We investigate the quantum cohomology of a supercharge Q in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Recent analyses have revealed a mismatch between the one-loop BPS spectra of the S-dual…

Gauged Soft Recursion: On-Shell Construction of Goldstone-Gauge Amplitudes
We present a new on-shell recursion relation for scattering amplitudes involving Nambu-Goldstone bosons with a gauged unbroken symmetry. A central challenge is that gauge interactions break…

Quantum Symmetry and Geometry in Double-Scaled SYK
The emergence of the quantum R-matrix in the double-scaled SYK model points to an underlying quantum group structure. In this work, we identify the quantum group Uq(su(1,1))…

Line Defects with a Cusp in Fermionic CFTs
We study line defects with a cusp in fermionic CFTs arising as fixed points of scalar-fermion theories with Yukawa interactions. These include the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model and some of its…

Anomaly induced transport from symmetry breaking in holography
We study the transport properties of relativistic fluids induced by quantum anomalies in presence of explicit symmetry breaking. To this end we consider a holographic Einstein-Maxwell model in 5…
