Are S1× S2 wormholes generic with large sources?
Euclidean path integrals can be used to prepare states of a Lorentzian QFT. So long as any sources are turned off on the t=0 surface, the resulting Lorentzian states all belong to the same Hilbert…

Complex Kerr-AdS Black Holes
We revisit thermodynamics of five-dimensional AdS spacetime at finite temperature and rotation using the Euclidean path integral. It is generally believed that at low temperatures and finite…

Algebra of operators for Q-Schur polynomials
We consider algebras acting on Schur and Q-Schur polynomials, corresponding to Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) and BKP hierarchies. We present them in the spirit of affine Yangians, paying special…

New variants of N=3,4 superconformal mechanics
We construct superconformal mechanics with N=3 and N=4 supersymmetries that were inspired by analogies with the supersymmetric Schwarzian mechanics. The Schwarzian, being another system with…

Nonresonant renormalization scheme for twist-2 operators in N=1 SUSY SU(N) Yang-Mills theory
The short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional for n-point correlators of twist-2 operators in N=1 supersymmetric (SUSY) SU(N) Yang-Mills (SYM) theory were recently…

Spinning Boundary Correlators from (A)dS4 Twistors
We develop a twistor-space framework to compute boundary correlators via a boundary limit of nested Penrose transforms in (A)dS4. Starting from correlators of (anti-)self-dual bulk fields, the…

Consequences of symmetry-breaking on conformal defect data
Conformal defects spontaneously break part of the symmetry algebra of a bulk CFT. We show that the broken Ward identities imply very general sum rules on the defect CFT data as well as on the DOE…

A review on the equation of state of color superconductivity via holography
In this project, we will study a bottom-up holographic model for the color superconductivity (CSC) phase in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity. We study the color superconductivity phase in the…

Study of chaos and scrambling in hairy AdS Soliton
In this work, we perform a comprehensive study of the classical and quantum chaos in a candidate five-dimensional hairy AdS soliton. It is a horizonless geometry holographically dual to a confining…

Limits of Symmetry in Schwarzschild: CKVs and BRST Triviality in the Kerr-Schild Double Copy
We complete our investigation into the residual symmetries of the Kerr-Schild double copy for the Schwarzschild solution. In the first paper in this series, we showed that the infinite-dimensional…

Local vertices, quadratic propagators and double-copy structure of one-loop integrands from forward limits
By worldsheet approach, n-point one-loop integrand can be expressed as a combination of (n+2)-point tree-level bi-adjoint scalar (BS) amplitudes under forward limit. The integrands constructed by…

Quantum fermion emission from excited kinks
The amplitude of an excited shape mode in a kink is expected to decay with a well-known power law via scalar radiation emission due to the nonlinear self-coupling of the scalar field. In this work we…

On sufficient conditions for holographic scattering
Holography implies scattering in the bulk can be mediated by entanglement on the boundary. The connected wedge theorem (CWT) of May, Penington, and Sorce is a concrete example where bulk scattering…
