Tension between string amplitude prescriptions with presumed spacetime supersymmetry
We analyze an alternative prescription for computing tree level scattering amplitudes in the pure spinor superstring. Proposed by Berkovits, and inspired by an earlier work by Lee and Siegel, it…

New formalism for perturbations of massive gravity theories around arbitrary background spacetimes
We develop a new technique for studying the perturbations of dRGT-type massive gravity theories around arbitrary background spacetimes. Built initially from the vielbein formulation of the theory,…

Domain Wall Skyrmions in Holographic Quantum Chromodynamics: Topological Phases and Phase Transitions
We investigate the domain wall skyrmions phase in the framework of holographic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) using the Sakai-Sugimoto model. Building on previous work regarding chiral soliton lattices…

Anisotropic critical points from holography
We present a comprehensive analysis of generic 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion (EMDA) holographic theories with exponential couplings. We find and classify exact, analytic, anisotropic…

Krylov Complexity for Open Quantum System: Dissipation and Decoherence
We investigate Krylov complexity in open quantum systems using Lindblad master equations for bosonic bath models, with particular emphasis on the Caldeira--Leggett model. Krylov complexity is…

A Proposal for symTFTs and symThs from Holography
We propose an embedding of the symTFT construction in (finite cut-off) holography. The proposal passes several non-trivial consistency checks reproducing the expected symTFTs in various cases,…

Krylov complexity and Wightman power spectrum with positive chemical potential in Schrödinger field theory
We study Krylov complexity in Schrödinger field theory in the grand canonical ensemble with chemical potential μ, with an emphasis on the qualitatively new features that arise for μ>0. In this…

Free-field construction of Carrollian WN-algebras
We study Carrollian contractions of WN-algebras from a free-field perspective. Using a contraction of the Miura transformation, we obtain explicit free-field realizations of the resulting…

On non-linear chiral 4-form theories in D=10
We consider properties of non-linear theories of a chiral 4-form gauge field A4 in ten space-time dimensions with an emphasis on a subclass of these theories which are invariant under the D = 10…

Degenerate kinks and kink-instantons in two-dimensional scalar field models with N=1 and N=2 supersymmetry
Models with classically degenerate vacua often support quasiclassical configurations of nontrivial topology. In (0+1)-dimensional quantum mechanics with a double-well potential, for example,…

Z-TQFT, Surgery Formulas, and New Algebras
The Z invariants of three-manifolds introduced by Gukov-Pei-Putrov-Vafa have influenced many areas of mathematics and physics. However, their TQFT structure remains poorly understood. In this…

Non-associative structures in extended geometry
We consider a generalisation of vector fields on a vector space, where the vector space is generalised to a highest-weight module over a Kac-Moody algebra. The generalised vector field is an element…

Dimensional reduction of the M-theory Chern-Simons term at order p6
The dimensional reduction of M-theory couplings at order p6 is known to produce one-loop α'3 corrections in type IIA string theory. In this paper, we perform the Kaluza-Klein reduction…
