Non-critical M-Theory and the Resolved Conifold: Refinement and Nonperturbative Completion
We extend the Hořava--Keeler correspondence between finite-temperature non-critical M-theory and the resolved-conifold A-model to the refined theory. The grand potential of the stationary rotating…

Landau and cluster structures of one-loop amplitudes in N=4 SYM in dimensional regularization
Generalized unitarity, Landau analysis, and cluster adjacency encode complementary aspects of scattering amplitudes. We use one-loop planar N=4 SYM amplitudes in dimensional…

Searching for Bell-CHSH-Violating Bose Operators
We construct explicit bounded wedge-local observables for Bell inequalities in a relativistic free Bose field using an exact spectral-fibre approach. The construction turns the relevant canonical…

Birth and Death in Two-color ABJM
We solve exactly the leading quantum deformation of the two-point metric of half-BPS operators in U(2)× U(2) ABJM theory at finite rank. In the natural coupling-independent Schur frame, its…

Equation of State of a Strongly Coupled Perfect Fluid with Spin from Holography
We derive the equation of state of a strongly coupled relativistic perfect fluid with finite spin in 2+1 dimensions using holography. The dual gravitational description is provided by a spinning…

Matrix Holography on an Optical Lattice
We propose an analog quantum-simulation protocol based on a lattice of atomic ensembles and time-averaged Floquet dynamics to construct the four-body potentials that typically appear in bosonic…

Cosmology, Cluster Algebras, and u
We explore the cluster algebra structures present in the wavefunction and correlators of conformally coupled scalar fields in de Sitter space. To connect cosmological kinematics to cluster variables,…

Decompactification and the Flat-Space Limit of AdS5× S5 Master Correlators
We study the flat-space limit of AdS5/CFT4 holographic correlators while accounting for the simultaneous decompactification of the internal S5. We show that this limit is naturally…

Infrared Memory and Scrambling in a Dynamically Opened Coupled-SYK Majorana Junction
We study a dynamically opened Majorana junction formed by two coupled Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev (SYK) systems. A time-dependent bilinear coupling drives the system from a nearly decoupled to a strongly…

CFT characters from localization
We explain a general procedure to compute characters of chiral algebras of 2d (S)CFTs geometrically from their coadjoint orbits, in analogy with the coadjoint orbit method for finite-dimensional Lie…

The endless journey towards the horizon of a quantum black hole
It is a problem of great importance in quantum gravity whether quantum effects lead to nontrivial structure near black hole horizons, and if their interiors are emergent features of a large N…

de Sitter and S-folds in type IIB from N = 4 D = 4 gauged supergravity
In this paper, we classify the type IIB uplifts of the N=4 D=4 pure SO(4)-gauged supergravity admitting a dS4 solution. As for their AdS cousins, the internal geometries of…

What is Classical Null String Theory?
We revisit the classical definition of a null string in a D-dimensional Minkowski target space and distinguish a consistent partially-gauged Carrollian sigma-model from the null string theory. The…

Form Factor Alphabets and Antipodal Duality from Cluster Algebras

Hironaka Geometry and Resurgence in Finite-N Matrix Models
We study how finite-N invariant theory organizes the non-perturbative structure of matrix models. For a model of four traceless Hermitian 2× 2 matrices, the Hironaka decomposition realizes…

UV/IR scale dependence in a four-derivative scalar field theory

Baby-universe state dependence of the wormhole-induced gravi-axion mass gap
