On Perturbatively Dressed Observables
A central lesson of gravity is that local observables are ill-defined. Coordinates themselves are a redundancy of description, so any particular point in spacetime is only meaningful once defined…

Krylov Complexity for Plane Wave Matrix Model
We study Krylov complexity in BMN Plane Wave Matrix Model at large mass deformation. We consider various consistent reductions of the matrix model that allow us to perform a Hamiltonian analysis…

Proof of Quantum Conformal Invariance in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills Theory via N=1 Superfields
Using the N=1 superfield formalism, we prove that the superconformal symmetry of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory is preserved in the quantum theory. We demonstrate that the…

Hard cutoff and gauge theories
According to usual calculations, the use of a hard cutoff Λ in gauge theories leads to a violation of gauge invariance. This seems to generate a tension between gauge theories and the Wilsonian…

Khovanov complexes for bipartite links
Recently, for a limited class for bipartite links, the complicated Khovanov-Rozansky matrix factorization technique was reduced to an analogue of elementary Kauffman-Khovanov cycle calculus for an…

Endpoint formulation and Molien--Weyl structure for the \(N=2\), large--\(d\) BFSS/BMN models
We study the \(N=2\), large--\(d\) sector of BFSS/BMN-type matrix quantum mechanics on the lattice in the Gaussian regime. We develop a radial endpoint formulation in which the bulk, gauge, and…

A Casimir obstruction to asymptotically flat black-brane completions of non-supersymmetric 7-branes
We study axisymmetric 7-brane solutions in the dilaton-gravity sector of 10d supergravity, including the backreaction of the Casimir energy induced by monodromies around the transverse circle.…

Fermion renormalized vertex functions, effective mass, and condensate in an external Yang-Mills gauge field
We investigate the renormalized fermion-gluon vertex, the fermion effective mass, and the fermion condensate when the fermion propagates in an external Yang-Mills gauge field. We use an exact…

The Diagrammar of Quantum Magnusian
The logarithm of the time-evolution operator has been termed Magnusian, on account of the fact that its expansion describes the Magnus series. The diagrammatic expansion and computation of the…

A Celestial Description of Planar Super-Yang-Mills Theory

Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals
We find solutions to consistent truncations of supergravity where some real scalars are analytically extended to imaginary values, ensuring the metric remains real-valued. Among the solutions there…

Half-Spacetime Gauging of 2-Group Symmetry in 3d
We construct a class of non-invertible duality defects, in (2+1)d quantum field theories, arising from half-spacetime gauging of a 2-group symmetry. Starting from a parent theory with two discrete…

Singular field redefinition between Witten's string field theory and Witten's theory deformed by Ellwood invariant
