Quantum chaos and pole skipping in two-dimensional conformal perturbation theory
We analyze pole skipping of stress tensor two-point functions in two-dimensional quantum field theories perturbed away from conformality by a relevant deformation. The retarded two-point Green's…

How to Count States in Gravity
Gibbons and Hawking proposed that the Euclidean gravity path integral with periodic boundary conditions in time computes the thermal partition sum of gravity. As a corollary, they argued that a…

Strings and near-extremal black holes in theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry
We study the one-loop partition function of superstrings in the AdS3 × S3 × S3 × S1 background. Specifically, we show that the supergravity…

A Nonperturbative Toolkit for Quantum Gravity
We propose a method for demonstrating equivalences beyond the saddlepoint approximation between quantities in quantum gravity that are defined by the Euclidean path integral, without assumptions…

Meromorphic higher-genus integration kernels via convolution over homology cycles
Polylogarithms on arbitrary higher-genus Riemann surfaces can be constructed from meromorphic integration kernels with at most simple poles, whose definition was given by Enriquez via functional…

Non-Commutative Phase-Space Effects in Fermionic String Theory
We study free open fermionic strings on a non-commutative phase space. Modified super-Virasoro algebras in both Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz sectors acquire non-commutativity anomalies, and this…

Holograms and Standard Models
Despite riddles, mysteries, and enigmas the theory of elementary particles has not changed for 50 years. We argue that the current paradigm -- Wilsonian quantum field theory -- is inadequate for…

Degenerations of flat connections on Riemann surfaces
The integration kernels for polylogarithm functions on a compact Riemann surface of arbitrary genus h are shown to close as the surface undergoes a non-separating degeneration to one of genus…

M-theory geometries from five-brane webs, seven-branes, and T-branes
We track the chain of dualities relating five-brane webs in Type IIB to M-theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds, and follow the effect of adding (p,q) seven-branes. T-dualizing along the…

Domain Walls in Large-N QCD3
Large-N three dimensional QCD with a level k Chern-Simons term and Nf massless flavours admits Nf+1 degenerate vacua. We discuss various aspects of the domain walls that interpolate between…

Localized zero modes enhance massive Casimir interactions
Massive quantum fields usually mediate Casimir interactions that are exponentially screened beyond their Compton wavelength. We show that an isolated normalizable zero mode in a classical background…

Higher-dimensional chaotic features and random matrix signatures following a local quench

The Fate of Black Hole-Induced Moduli Excursions in the Presence of Scalar Potentials
Large charged black holes can create macroscopic, locally weakly curved regions in which moduli take values different from their asymptotic values. We study how robust this mechanism is once the…

Due to the exponential growth in the number of terms, computing α'-corrections to string theory's low-energy effective actions is a challenging matter. In order to fix all the couplings,…

Does QFT make sense in non-integer dimensions?
