We explore Chern-Simons theories coupled to fundamental ghost-like matter in the large $N$ limit at 't Hooft coupling $\lambda$. These theories have been conjectured to be holographically dual to parity-violating, asymptotically dS$_4$ universes with a tower of light higher-spin fields. On $\mathbb{R}^3$, to all orders in large-$N$ perturbation theory, we show that Chern-Simons-ghost theories are related to ordinary Chern-Simons-matter theories by mapping $N \rightarrow - N$ and keeping $\lambda$ fixed. Consequently, the bosonization duality of ordinary Chern-Simons-matter theories extends to a bosonization duality of Chern-Simons-ghost theories on $\mathbb R^3$. On $S^1 \times S^2$, in the small-$S^1$ limit, neither $N \rightarrow -N$ nor bosonization hold, as we show by extensively studying large-$N$ saddles of the theories with both ghost and ordinary matter. The partition functions we compute along the way can be viewed as pieces of the late-time Hartle-Hawking wavefunction for the bulk dS$_4$ gravity theories.

In this paper transverse positron polarization in the $\mu^+ \to e^+ \bar {\nu_{\mu}} \nu_e$ decay in the framework of SM is considered. It is shown that the final state interaction effect leads to nonzero transverse polarization. Numerical value of the considered effect proved to be negligible. Thus SM contribution to the transverse positron polarization in the $\mu^+ \to e^+ \bar {\nu_{\mu}} \nu_e$ decay will not be the obstacle to a new physics searches.

It is shown that both the electric and magnetic dipole moment vectors of hydrogen atom in the excited states with wave function $$ u_n^{(\pm)} = {1\over\sqrt 2} [R_{n,n-1}(r) Y_{n-1,\pm (n-2)}(\theta\phi) \pm R_{n,n-2}(r) Y_{n-2,\pm (n-2)}(\theta\phi)]$$ align themselves in the direction of an external uniform electric field which is characteristic of magneto-electric effect. These states are found to have magnetic charge $g={3n\over (n-2)e}$ on account of this effect. This result is confirmed by an independent method. An experiment is suggested to fabricate these states and detect the magnetic charge. It ma be worth noting that inspite of many experimental searchs, magnetic charge, whose existence has been theorized both in electrodynamics and non-abelian gauge theories, none have been found so far, nor there exist any suggstion as to where these are to be found.

We compute the tree-level bosonic S matrix in light-cone gauge for superstrings on pure-NSNS $\text{AdS}_{3}\times\text{S}^3\times\text{S}^3\times\text{S}^1$. We show that it is proportional to the identity and that it takes the same form as for $\text{AdS}_{3} \times \text{S}^3\times\text{T}^4$ and for flat space. Based on this, we make a conjecture for the exact worldsheet S matrix and derive the mirror thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations describing the spectrum. Despite a non-trivial vacuum energy, they can be solved in closed form and coincide with a simple set of Bethe ansatz equations - again much like $\text{AdS}_{3}\times\text{S}^3\times\text{T}^4$ and flat space. This suggests that the model may have an integrable spin-chain interpretation. Finally, as a check of our proposal, we compute the spectrum from the worldsheet CFT in the case of highest-weight representations of the underlying Ka\v{c}-Moody algebras, and show that the mirror-TBA prediction matches it on the nose.

In a previous work we suggested a self-gravitating electromagnetic monopole solution in a string-inspired model involving global spontaneous breaking of a $SO(3)$ internal symmetry and Kalb-Ramond (KR) axions, stemming from an antisymmetric tensor field in the massless string multiplet. These axions carry a charge, which, in our model, also plays the r\^ole of the magnetic charge. The resulting geometry is close to that of a Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) black hole with charge proportional to the KR-axion charge. We proposed the existence of a thin shell structure inside a (large) core radius as the dominant mass contribution to the energy functional. The resulting energy was finite, and proportional to the KR-axion charge; however, the size of the shell was not determined and left as a phenomenological parameter. In the current article, we can calculate the mass-shell size, on proposing a regularisation of the black hole singularity via a matching procedure between the RN metric in the outer region and, in the inner region, a de Sitter space with a (positive) cosmological constant proportional to the scale of the spontaneous symmetry breaking of $SO(3)$ . The matching, which involves the Israel junction conditions for the metric and its first derivatives at the inner surface of the shell, determines the inner mass-shell radius. The axion charge plays an important r\^ole in guaranteeing positivity of the "mass coefficient" of the gravitational potential term appearing in the metric component; so the KR electromagnetic monopole shows normal attractive gravitational effects. This is to be contrasted with the global monopole case (in the absence of KR axions) where such a matching is known to yield a negative "mass coefficient" (and, hence, repulsive gravitational effects). The total energy of the monopole within the shell is calculated.

We consider brane gas models based on type II string theories and analyze the mass, the Ramond-Ramond charge and the charge on moduli fluctuations of branes wrapping over cycles of a compactified space in the four-dimensional Einstein frame. A six-dimensional torus and Calabi-Yau threefolds are considered for the Kaluza-Klein reduction. A large volume of the compactified space and a weak string coupling gives rise to point particles of the wrapped branes which have a light mass and a small charge of the Ramond-Ramond flux and of the moduli fluctuations, while the particles become very heavy in the string frame. We find that the masses and the charges satisfy the sea-saw like dual relations which become time-independent in the four-dimensional Einstein frame.

We show that the constraint algebra of Ashtekar's Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity can be non-trivially deformed by allowing the cosmological constant to become an arbitrary function of the (Weyl) curvature. Our result implies that there is not one but infinitely many (parameterized by an arbitrary function) four-dimensional gravity theories propagating two degrees of freedom.

The two-loop (Euler-Heisenberg-type) effective action for N = 2 supersymmetric QED is computed using the N = 1 superspace formulation. The effective action is expressed as a series in supersymmetric extensions of F^{2n}, where n=2,3,..., with F the field strength. The corresponding coefficients are given by triple proper-time integrals which are evaluated exactly. As a by-product, we demonstrate the appearance of a non-vanishing F^4 quantum correction at the two-loop order. The latter result is in conflict with the conclusion of hep-th/9710142 that no such quantum corrections are generated at two loops in generic N = 2 SYM theories on the Coulomb branch. We explain a subtle loophole in the relevant consideration of hep-th/9710142 and re-derive the F^4 term from harmonic supergraphs.

I address the question whether the origin of the observed arrow of time can be derived from quantum cosmology. After a general discussion of entropy in cosmology and some numerical estimates, I give a brief introduction into quantum geometrodynamics and argue that this may provide a sufficient framework for studying this question. I then show that a natural boundary condition of low initial entropy can be imposed on the universal wave function. The arrow of time is then correlated with the size of the Universe and emerges from an increasing amount of decoherence due to entanglement with unobserved degrees of freedom. Remarks are also made concerning the arrow of time in multiverse pictures and scenarios motivated by dark energy.

We study the "complexity equals volume" (CV) and "complexity equals action" (CA) conjectures by examining moments of of time symmetry for $\rm AdS_3$ wormholes having $n$ asymptotic regions and arbitrary (orientable) internal topology. For either prescription, the complexity relative to $n$ copies of the $M=0$ BTZ black hole takes the form $\Delta C = \alpha c \chi $, where $c$ is the central charge and $\chi$ is the Euler character of the bulk time-symmetric surface. The coefficients $\alpha_V = -4\pi/3$, $\alpha_A = 1/6 $ defined by CV and CA are independent of both temperature and any moduli controlling the geometry inside the black hole. Comparing with the known structure of dual CFT states in the hot wormhole limit, the temperature and moduli independence of $\alpha_V$, $\alpha_A$ implies that any CFT gate set defining either complexity cannot be local. In particular, the complexity of an efficient quantum circuit building local thermofield-double-like entanglement of thermal-sized patches does not depend on the separation of the patches so entangled. We also comment on implications of the (positive) sign found for $\alpha_A$, which requires the associated complexity to decrease when handles are added to our wormhole.

For concreteness, we focus on the solvable $SL(2, \mathbb{R})_k/U(1)$ black hole. It is shown that it exhibits a fascinating UV/IR mixing, dramatically modifying the late-time behavior of general relativity. We speculate that this might play an important role in the black-hole information puzzle, as well as in clarifying features related with the non-locality of Little String Theory.

This thesis provides a classification of the chiral content of the heterotic $\mathbbm{Z}_2 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$ orbifold models. We show that the chiral content of the heterotic $\mathbbm{Z}_2 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$ orbifold models at any point in the moduli space can be described by a free fermionic model. We present a direct translation between the orbifold formulation and the free fermionic construction. We use the free fermionic description for the classification wherein we consider orbifolds with symmetric shifts. We show that perturbative three generation models are not obtained in the case of $\mathbbm{Z}_2 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$ orbifolds with symmetric shifts on complex tori, and that the perturbative three generation models in this class necessarily employ an asymmetric shift. We show that the freedom in the modular invariant phases in the $N = 1$ vacua that control the chiral content, can be interpreted as vacuum expectation values of background fields of the underlying $N = 4$ theory, whose dynamical components are projected out by the $\mathbbm{Z}_2$ fermionic projections. In this class of vacua the chiral content of the models is determined by the underlying $N = 4$ mother theory.

In this class of vacua the chiral content of the models is determined by the underlying $N = 4$ mother theory.

We investigate representations of the conformal group that describe "massless" particles in the interior and at the boundary of anti-de Sitter space. It turns out that massless gauge excitations in anti-de Sitter are gauge "current" operators at the boundary. Conversely, massless excitations at the boundary are topological singletons in the interior. These representations lie at the threshold of two "unitary bounds" that apply to any conformally invariant field theory. Gravity and Yang-Mills gauge symmetry in anti-De Sitter is translated to global translational symmetry and continuous $R$-symmetry of the boundary superconformal field theory.

The reduction of the two fermion Bethe-Salpeter equation in the framework of light-front dynamics is studied for one gauge A+=0. The arising effective interaction can be perturbatively expanded in powers of the coupling constant g, allowing a defined number of gauge boson exchanges. The singularity of the kernel of the integral equation at vanishs plus momentum of the gauge is canceled exactly in on approuch. We studied the problem using a singularity-softening prescription for the light-front gauge.

We study an inequality between a scaling exponent $A$ in the Regge limit of tree-level flat space S-matrices with external massless scalars and another scaling exponent $A'$ in the Regge limit of the corresponding four-point scalar conformal correlators by using scaling exponents of Mellin amplitudes. We derive $A'\ge A$, which leads to the Regge growth bound of tree-level flat space S-matrices from the chaos bound in the flat space limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, from polynomial boundedness of the Mellin amplitudes for local bulk descriptions. We also show $A'=A$ from the conformal block expansion in the $t$-channel with finite intermediate spins when coefficients are not small in the flat space limit.

High-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies have created a new domain of research to look for a possible formation of quark-gluon plasma in these events. In this paper, we estimate various thermal properties of the matter formed in pp collisions at the LHC energies, such as mean free path, isobaric expansivity, thermal pressure, and heat capacity using a thermodynamically consistent Tsallis distribution function. Particle species-dependent mean free path and isobaric expansivity are studied as functions of final state charged particle multiplicity for pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV. The effects of degree of non-extensivity, baryochemical potential, and temperature on these thermal properties are studied. The findings are compared with the theoretical expectations.

This includes besides SU(N) also symplectic, orthogonal and massless Abelian gauge factors and the full computation of contributions from discrete and continuous Wilson lines and brane displacements. Two classes of globally consistent supersymmetric compactifications with Standard Model spectra on T6/Z6 and T6/Z6' are presented in detail with the latter exhibiting the potential of supersymmetry breaking via a hidden sector gaugino condensate. The T6/Z6' Standard Models are completely classified, and it turns out that out of 768 distinct D6-brane configurations only 16 different sets of massless spectra and ten distinct values of gauge couplings at one-loop arise. The gauge threshold corrections enhance the diversity to 196 nonequivalent models.

Given a 4d N=2 SUSY gauge theory, one can construct the Seiberg-Witten prepotentional, which involves a sum over instantons. Integrals over instanton moduli spaces require regularisation. For UV-finite theories the AGT conjecture favours particular, Nekrasov's way of regularization. It implies that Nekrasov's partition function equals conformal blocks in 2d theories with W_{N_c} chiral algebra. For $N_c=2$ and one adjoint multiplet it coincides with a torus 1-point Virasoro conformal block. We check the AGT relation between conformal dimension and adjoint multiplet's mass in this case and investigate the limit of the conformal block, which corresponds to the large mass limit of the 4d theory e.i. the asymptotically free 4d N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Though technically more involved, the limit is the same as in the case of fundamental multiplets, and this provides one more non-trivial check of AGT conjecture.

In this paper we propose the toy model of the closed string tachyon effective action that has marginal tachyon profile as its exact solution in case of constant or linear dilaton background. Then we will apply this model for description of two dimensional bosonic string theory. We will find that the background configuration with the spatial dependent linear dilaton, flat spacetime metric and marginal tachyon profile is the exact solution of our model even if we take into account backreaction of tachyon on dilaton and metric.

Motivated by the KKLT string compactification involving a supersymmetry-breaking uplifting potential, we examine 4D effective supergravity with a generic form of uplifting potential, focusing on the possibility that the resulting mixed modulus-anomaly mediated soft terms realize the little hierarchy between the Higgs boson masses $m_H$ and the sparticle masses $m_{SUSY}$. It is noted that for some type of uplifting potential, the anomaly-mediated contribution to $m_H^2$ at $M_{GUT}$ can cancel the subsequent renormalization group evolution of $m_H^2$ down to TeV scale, thereby the model can naturally realize the little hierarchy $m_H^2\sim m_{SUSY}^2/8\pi^2$ which is desirable for the lightest Higgs boson mass to satisfy the experimental bound. In such models, the other Higgs mass parameters $\mu$ and $B$ can have the desirable size $\mu \sim B \sim m_H$ without severe fine-tuning of parameters, although the gravitino is much heavier than the Higgs boson. Those models for the little hierarchy avoid naturally the dangerous SUSY flavor and CP violations, and predict nearly degenerate low energy gaugino masses, pure Higgsino LSP, and also a specific relation between the stop and gaugino masses.

Large gauge symmetries in Minkowski spacetime are often studied in two distinct regimes: either at asymptotic (past or future) times or at spatial infinity. By working in harmonic gauge, we provide a unified description of large gauge symmetries (and their associated charges) that applies to both regimes. At spatial infinity the charges are conserved and interpolate between those defined at the asymptotic past and future. This explains the equality of asymptotic past and future charges, as recently proposed in connection with Weinberg's soft photon theorem.

Particles colliding at impact parameter much larger than the effective gravitational radius can not classically form a black hole and just scatter off the radial potential barrier separating the particles. We show that the process of the black hole production can still go quantum-mechanically via familiar mechanism of the under-barrier tunneling. The mechanism is illustrated for collision of a trans-Planckian particle and a lighter particle. Our analysis reveals instability of trans-Planckian particles against transition to the phase of black hole.

The AdS/CFT correspondence is an exact duality between string theory in anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theories on its boundary. Inspired in this correspondence some relations between strings and non conformal field theories have been found. Exact dualities in the non conformal case are intricate but approximations can reproduce important physical results. A simple approximation consists in taking just a slice of the AdS space with a size that can be related to the QCD energy scale. Here we will discuss how this approach can be used to obtain the scaling of high energy QCD scattering amplitudes, glueball masses and Regge trajectories, and the potential energy for a quark anti-quark pair. This set up is modified to include finite temperature effects and obtain a deconfining phase trasition.

We also consider a direct coupling the scalar field to the Ricci scalar curvature which is parameterized by an arbitrary dimensionless nonminimal coupling constant. We evaluate the trace anomaly of the induced energy-momentum tensor. We show that our results for the induced energy-momentum tensor in the zero electric field case, and the trace anomaly are in agreement with the existing literature. Furthermore, we construct the one-loop effective Lagrangian from the induced energy-momentum tensor.

In this work, we analyse the all-orders resummation structure of the momentum sharing fraction, $z_g$, opening angle, $\theta_g$, and relative transverse momentum, $k_{t,g}$, of the splitting tagged by the dynamical grooming procedure in hadronic collisions. We demonstrate that their resummation does non-exponentiate and it is free of clustering logarithms. Then, we analytically compute the probability distributions of ($z_g$, $\theta_g$, $k_{t,g}$) up to next-to next-to-double logarithm accuracy (N2DL) in the narrow jet limit, including a matching to leading order in $\alpha_s$. On the phenomenological side, we perform an analytic-to-parton level comparison with Pythia and Herwig. We find that differences between the analytic and the Monte-Carlo results are dominated by the infra-red regulator of the parton shower. Further, we present the first analytic comparison to preliminary ALICE data and highlight the role of non-perturbative corrections in such low-$p_t$ regime. Once the analytic result is corrected by a phenomenologically determined non-perturbative factor, we find very good agreement with the data.

We show how infinite derivative modifications of gravity impact on the stochastic background of Gravitational Waves from early Universe. The generic property of the ghost-free theory fixed on Minkowski space-time is the emergence of an infinite number of complex mass states when other classical backgrounds are considered. These additional states are shown to enhance the power spectrum of scalar perturbations generated during inflation. Current and future space-based and terrestrial interferometers offer indirect testing methods for the infinite derivative gravity action, enabling the exploration of new parameter spaces. In particular, we identify unconventional blue-tilted Gravitational Wave spectra, presenting a novel approach for testing infinite derivative quantum gravity in the future.

These additional states are shown to enhance the power spectrum of scalar perturbations generated during inflation. Current and future space-based and terrestrial interferometers offer indirect testing methods for the infinite derivative gravity action, enabling the exploration of new parameter spaces. In particular, we identify unconventional blue-tilted Gravitational Wave spectra, presenting a novel approach for testing infinite derivative quantum gravity in the future.

We trace what happens with asymptotically free behavior of the running coupling in $\phi^{3}$ theory in six-dimensional space-time if to compactify two spatial dimensions on a 2D closed manifold. The result can be considered as an effective 4D theory of infinitely many KK-type scalar fields with triple interactions. The effective \emph{dimensional} coupling inherits running to zero at high mass scales in a modified form depending on the size of the compact manifold. Some physical implications are discussed.

We revisit the idea that the quantum dynamics of open strings ending on $N$ D3-branes in the large $N$ limit can be described at large `t Hooft coupling by classical closed string theory in the background created by the D3-branes in asymptotically flat spacetime. We study the resulting thermodynamics and compute the Hagedorn temperature and other properties of the D3-brane worldvolume theory in this regime. We also consider the theory in which the D3-branes are replaced by negative branes and show that its thermodynamics is well behaved. We comment on the idea that this theory can be thought of as an irrelevant deformation of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM, and on its relation to $T\bar T$ deformed $CFT_2$.

The bosonic membrane in a partial gauge, where one space dimension is eliminated, is formulated as a perturbation theory around an exact free string-like solution. This perturbative regime corresponds to a situation where one of the world-volume space-like dimensions is much greater than the other, so that the membrane has the form of a narrow band or large hoop with string excitations being transverse to the widest dimension. The perturbative equations of motion are studied and solved to first order. Furthermore, it is shown for the open or semi-open cases and to any order in perturbation theory, that one may find canonical transformations that will transform the membrane Hamiltonian into a free string-like Hamiltonian and a boundary Hamiltonian. Thus the membrane dynamics in our perturbation scheme is essentially captured by an interacting boundary theory defined on a two-dimensional world-sheet. A possible implication of this to M-theory is discussed.

For this we investigate minimal N=4 U(N_1)_k x U(N_2)_{-k} Chern-Simons theories and their superconformal indices. In the previous publication we analyzed the three-sphere partition function of the theories, which implies that the theory is good/ugly/bad if k-N_1-N_2 is greater than/equal to/smaller than -1. In this paper we verify that this classification is consistent with the behavior of the superconformal index. We compare the superconformal indices for several pairs of non-bad theories connected by the Hanany-Witten transition and confirm their coincidence up to the contribution of one hypermultiplet.

We investigate the type IIA AdS(3) x S(3) x M(4) superstring with M(4)=S(3) x S(1) or M(4)=T(4). String theory in this background is interesting because of AdS3/CFT2 and its newly discovered integrable structures. We derive the kappa symmetry gauge-fixed Green-Schwarz string action to quadratic order in fermions and quartic order in fields utilizing a near BMN expansion. As a first consistency check of our results we show that the two point functions are one-loop finite in dimensional regularization. We then perform a Hamiltonian analysis where we compare the energy of string states with the predictions of a set of conjectured Bethe equations. While we find perfect agreement for single rank one sectors, we find that the product SU(2) x SU(2) sector does not match unless the Bethe equations decouple completely. We then calculate 2 to 2 bosonic tree-level scattering processes on the string worldsheet and show that the two-dimensional S-matrix is reflectionless. This might be important due to the presence of massless worldsheet excitations which are generally not described by the Bethe equations.

We propose a decomposition of the S-matrix into individually gauge invariant sub-amplitudes, which are kinematically akin to propagators, vertices, boxes, etc. This decompsition is obtained by considering limits of the S-matrix when some or all of the external particles have masses larger than any other physical scale. We show at the one-loop level that the effective gluon self-energy so defined is physically equivalent to the corresponding gauge independent self-energy obtained in the framework of the pinch technique. The generalization of this procedure to arbitrary gluonic $n$-point functions is briefly discussed.

We explicitly construct a one-to-one map between conformal hypercomplex manifolds (i.e. those that have a closed homothetic Killing vector) and quaternionic manifolds of one quaternionic dimension less. An important role is played by '\xi-transformations', relating complex structures on conformal hypercomplex manifolds and connections on quaternionic manifolds. In this map, the subclass of conformal hyper-Kaehler manifolds is mapped to quaternionic-Kaehler manifolds.

The inert doublet dark matter model has recently gained attention as a possible means of facilitating a strongly first order electroweak phase transition (EWPT), as needed for baryogenesis. We extend previous results by considering the regime where the DM is heavier than half the Higgs mass, and its relic density is determined by annihilation into W, Z and Higgs bosons. We find a large natural region of parameter space where the EWPT is strongly first order, while the lightest inert doublet state typically contributes only 0.1-3% of the total dark matter. Despite this small density, its interactions with nucleons are strong enough to be directly detectable given a factor of 5 improvement over the current sensitivity of XENON100. A 10% decrease in the branching ratio for Higgs decays to two photons is predicted.

In this paper we bring out the subtleties involved in the study of a first order relativistic field theory with auxiliary field variables playing an essential role. In particular we discuss the nonisentropic Eulerian (or Hamiltonian) fluid model. Interactions are introduced by coupling the fluid to a {\it dynamical} Maxwell ($U(1)$) gauge field. This dynamical nature of the gauge field is crucial in showing the equivalence, on the physical subspace, of the stress tensor derived from two definitions, {\it{ie.}} the canonical (Noether) one and the symmetric one. In the conventional equal-time formalism, we have shown that the generators of the spacetime transformations obtained from these two definitions agree, modulo the Gauss constraint. This equivalence in the physical sector has been achieved only because of the dynamical nature of the gauge fields. Subsequently we have explicitly demonstrated the validity of the Schwinger condition. A detailed analysis of the model in lightcone formalism has also been done where several interesting features are revealed.

It is well known that --differing from ordinary gauge systems-- canonical gauges are not admissible in the path integral for parametrized systems. This is the case for the relativistic particle and gravitation. However, a time dependent canonical transformation can turn a parametrized system into an ordinary gauge system. It is shown how to build a canonical transformation such that the fixation of the new coordinates is equivalent to the fixation of the original ones; this aim can be achieved only if the Hamiltonian constraint allows for an intrinsic global time. Thus the resulting action, describing an ordinary gauge system and allowing for canonical gauges, can be used in the path integral for the quantum propagator associated with the original variables.

The present thesis aims at providing a unified description of radiative phase spaces in General Relativity for any value of the cosmological constant using covariant phase space methods. We start by considering generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes with leaky boundary conditions in the Starobinsky/Fefferman-Graham gauge. The boundary structure is allowed to fluctuate and plays the role of source yielding some flux of gravitational radiation at the boundary. The holographic renormalization procedure is employed to obtain finite surface charges for the whole class of boundary diffeomorphisms and Weyl rescalings. We then propose a boundary gauge fixing isolating the radiative boundary degrees of freedom without constraining the Cauchy problem in asymptotically dS spacetimes. The residual gauge transformations form the infinite-dimensional $\Lambda$-BMS algebroid, which reduces to the Generalized BMS algebra of smooth supertranslations and super-Lorentz transformations in the flat limit. The analysis is repeated in the Bondi gauge in which we identify the analogues of the Bondi news, mass and angular momentum aspects in the presence of a cosmological constant. We give a prescription to perform the flat limit of the phase space and demonstrate how to use this connection to renormalize the corresponding phase space of asymptotically locally flat spacetimes at null infinity including smooth super-Lorentz transformations. In that context, we discuss the memory effects associated with super-Lorentz vacuum transitions and finally provide a new definition of the BMS charges whose fluxes are compatible with soft theorems.

We consider the inhomogeneous generalization of the density matrix of a finite segment of length $m$ of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. It is a function of the temperature $T$ and the external magnetic field $h$, and further depends on $m$ `spectral parameters' $\xi_j$. For short segments of length 2 and 3 we decompose the known multiple integrals for the elements of the density matrix into finite sums over products of single integrals. This provides new numerically efficient expressions for the two-point functions of the infinite Heisenberg chain at short distances. It further leads us to conjecture an exponential formula for the density matrix involving only a double Cauchy-type integral in the exponent. We expect this formula to hold for arbitrary $m$ and $T$ but zero magnetic field.

The soft-gluon resummation exponents G^N in moment space are investigated for the quark coefficient functions in deep-inelastic structure functions and the quark-antiquark contribution to the Drell-Yan cross section dsigma/dM. Employing results from two- and three-loop calculations we obtain the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic terms alpha_s (alpha_s ln N)^n of G^N to all orders in the strong coupling constant alpha_s. These new contributions facilitate a reliable assessment of the numerical effect and the stability of the large-N expansion.

In the context of dark energy solutions, we consider a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime filled with a non-interacting mixture of dust and a viscous fluid, whose bulk viscosity is governed by the nonlinear model proposed in [15]. Through a phase space analysis of the equivalent dynamical system, existence and stability of critical solutions are established and the respective scale factors are computed. The results point towards the possibility of describing the current accelerated expansion of the Universe by means of the abovementioned nonlinear model for viscosity.

The main objective of this article is to examine some physically viable solutions through the Noether symmetry technique in $f(R, T^{2})$ theory. For this purpose, we assume a generalized anisotropic and homogenous spacetime that yields distinct cosmic models. In order to investigate Noether equations, symmetry generators and conserved quantities, we use a specific model of this modified theory. We find exact solutions and examine the behavior of various cosmological quantities. It is found the behavior these quantities is consistent with current observations indicating that this theory describes the cosmic accelerated expansion. We conclude that generators of Noether symmetry and conserved quantities exist in this theory.

It is well-known that there exist infinitely-many inequivalent representations of the canonical (anti)-commutation relations of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). A way out, suggested by Algebraic QFT, is to instead define the quantum theory as encompassing all possible (abstract) states. In the present paper, we describe a quantization scheme for general linear (aka. free) field theories that can be seen as intermediate between traditional Fock quantization and full Algebraic QFT, in the sense that: * it provides a constructive, explicit description of the resulting space of quantum states; * it does not require the choice of a polarization, aka. the splitting of classical solutions into positive vs. negative-frequency modes: in fact, any Fock representation corresponding to a "reasonable" choice of polarization is naturally embedded; * it supports the implementation of a "large enough" class of linear symplectomorphisms of the classical, infinite-dimensional phase space. The proposed quantization (like Algebraic QFT) is notably meant for use on curved spacetimes, where the lack of a preferred choice of polarization makes the introduction of a Fock representation problematic. Accordingly, we illustrate it in the simple case of a free Klein-Gordon field on a spatially-compact, cosmological spacetime.

We study the dynamics of probe M5 branes with dissolved M2 charge in bubbling geometries with SO(4) x SO(4) symmetry. These solutions were constructed by Bena-Warner and Lin-Lunin-Maldacena and correspond to the vacua of the maximally supersymmetric mass-deformed M2 brane theory. We find that supersymmetric probe M2 branes polarize into M5 brane shells whose backreaction creates an additional bubble in the geometry. We explicitly check that the supersymmetric polarization potential agrees with the one found within the Polchinski-Strassler approximation. The main result of this paper is that probe M2 branes whose orientation is opposite to the background flux can polarize into metastable M5 brane shells. These decay to a supersymmetric configuration via brane-flux annihilation. Our findings suggest the existence of metastable states in the mass-deformed M2 brane theory.

A novel general expression is obtained for the graviton propagator from Lagrangian field theory by taking into account the necessary fact that in the functional differential approach of quantum field theory, in order to generate non-linearities in gravitation and interactions with matter, the external source $T_{\mu\nu}$, coupled to the gravitational field, should \textit{a priori} not be conserved $\partial^\mu T_{\mu\nu}\neq 0$, so variations with respect to its ten components may be varied \textit{independently}. The resulting propagator is the one which arises in the functional approach and does \textit{not} coincide with the corresponding time-ordered product of two fields and it includes so-called Schwinger terms. The quantization is carried out in a gauge corresponding to physical states with two polarization states to ensure positivity in quantum applications.

We solve the Killing spinor equations and determine the near horizon geometries of M-theory that preserve at least one supersymmetry. The M-horizon spatial sections are 9-dimensional manifolds with a Spin(7) structure restricted by geometric constraints which we give explicitly. We also provide an alternative characterization of the solutions of the Killing spinor equation, utilizing the compactness of the horizon section and the field equations, by proving a Lichnerowicz type of theorem which implies that the zero modes of a Dirac operator coupled to 4-form fluxes are Killing spinors. We use this, and the maximum principle, to solve the field equations of the theory for some special cases and present some examples.

If the results of the first LHC run are not betraying us, many decades of particle physics are culminating in a complete and consistent theory for all non-gravitational physics: the Standard Model. But despite this monumental achievement there is a clear sense of disappointment: many questions remain unanswered. Remarkably, most unanswered questions could just be environmental, and disturbingly (to some) the existence of life may depend on that environment. Meanwhile there has been increasing evidence that the seemingly ideal candidate for answering these questions, String Theory, gives an answer few people initially expected: a huge "landscape" of possibilities, that can be realized in a multiverse and populated by eternal inflation. At the interface of "bottom-up" and "top-down" physics, a discussion of anthropic arguments becomes unavoidable. We review developments in this area, focusing especially on the last decade.

Motivated by (i) more and more interest in strong gravitational lensing by supermassive black holes due to the achievement of EHT observations, (ii) the ongoing popular topic on the possibility of Lorentz symmetry being broken in gravitation and its consequences, we will apply the Einstein bumblebee gravity with Lorentz violation (LV) to the study of strong gravitational lensing effect and the black hole shadow of slowly rotating Kerr-like black hole. In the strong gravitational lensing sector, we first calculate the deflection angel; then treating the slowly rotating Kerr-like black hole as supermassive M87* black hole, we evaluate the gravitational lensing observables (position, separation and magnification) and the time delays between the relativistic images. In the black hole shadow sector, we show the effect of LV parameter on the luminosity of the black hole shadow and photon sphere using the infalling spherical accretion. Moreover, we explore the dependence of various shadow observables on the LV parameter, and then give the possible constraint on the LV parameter by M87* black hole of EHT observations. We find that the LV parameter show significant effect on the strong gravitational lensing effect, the black hole shadow and photon sphere luminosity by accretion material. Our results point out that the future generations of EHT observation may help to distinguish the Einstein bumblebee gravity from GR, and also give a possible constrain on the LV parameter.

Removing the field redefinitions, the Bianchi identities and the total derivative freedoms from the general form of gauge invariant NS-NS couplings at order $\alpha'^3$, we have found that the minimum number of independent couplings is 872. We find that there are schemes in which there is no term with structures $R,\,R_{\mu\nu},\,\nabla_\mu H^{\mu\alpha\beta}$, $ \nabla_\mu\nabla^\mu\Phi$. In these schemes, there are sub-schemes in which, except one term, the couplings can have no term with more than two derivatives. In the sub-scheme that we have chosen, the 872 couplings appear in 55 different structures. We fix some of the parameters in type II supersting theory by its corresponding four-point functions. The coupling which has term with more than two derivatives is constraint to be zero by the four-point functions.

It is well known in the context of four dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes that the leading order boundary metric must be conformal to unit de Sitter metric when hyperbolic cutoffs are used. This situation is very different from asymptotically AdS settings where one is allowed to choose an arbitrary boundary metric. The closest one can come to changing the boundary metric in the asymptotically flat context, while maintaining the group of asymptotic symmetries to be Poincare, is to change the so-called `supertranslation frame' \omega. The most studied choice corresponds to taking \omega = 0. In this paper we study consequences of making alternative choices. We perform this analysis in the covariant phase space approach as well as in the holographic renormalization approach. We show that all choices for \omega are allowed in the sense that the covariant phase space is well defined irrespective of how we choose to fix supertranslations. The on-shell action and the leading order boundary stress tensor are insensitive to the supertranslation frame. The next to leading order boundary stress tensor depends on the supertranslation frame but only in a way that the transformation of angular momentum under translations continues to hold as in special relativity.

The imposition of a constraint between the metric tensor elements in both three- and four-dimensional, rotating AdS space-times is shown to reduce the number of independent equations of motion and to result in new families of solutions to the equations of motion. For the geometries investigated analytic solutions or partial analytic solutions of the equations of motion are obtained. In all cases the number of independent field equations is less than the number of independent functions, resulting in an undetermined function which can be freely specified. For rotating, asymptotically $AdS$ space-times the reduction of the number of field equations to be solved holds for vacuum black hole solutions and for black hole solutions obtained from space-times containing matter.

It is well known that there is a Hawking radiation from the cosmological horizon of the de-sitter spacetime, and the de-sitter spacetime can be a special case of a FRW universe. Therefore, there may be a corresponding Hawking radiation in a FRW universe. Indeed, there have been several clues showing that there is a Hawking radiation from the apparent horizon of a FRW universe. In our paper, however, we find that the Hawking radiation may come from the cosmological horizon. Moreover, we also find that the Hawking radiation from the apparent horizon of a FRW universe in some previous works can be a special case in our result, and the condition is that the variation rate of cosmological horizon $\overset{.}{r}_{H}$ is zero. Note that, this condition is also consistent with the underlying integrable condition in these works from the apparent horizon.

We introduce three space-times that are discrete in time and compatible with the Lorentz symmetry. We show that these spaces are no commutative, with commutation relations similar to the relations of the Snyder and Yang spaces. Furthermore, using a reparametrized relativistic particle we obtain a realization of the Snyder type spaces and we construct an action for them.

There have been some speculations about the existence of critical unitary O(N)-invariant scalar field theories in dimensions 4<d<6 and for large N. Using the functional renormalization group equation, we show that in the lowest order of the derivative expansion, and assuming that the anomalous dimension vanishes for large $N$, the corresponding critical potentials are either unbounded from below or singular for some finite value of the field.

Using our anholonomic frame deformation method, we show how generic off-diagonal cosmological solutions depending, in general, on all spacetime coordinates and undergoing a phase of ultra-slow contraction can be constructed in massive gravity. In this paper, there are found and studied new classes of locally anisotropic and (in) homogeneous cosmological metrics with open and closed spatial geometries. The late time acceleration is present due to effective cosmological terms induced by nonlinear off-diagonal interactions and graviton mass. The off-diagonal cosmological metrics and related St\" uckelberg fields are constructed in explicit form up to nonholonomic frame transforms of the Friedmann-Lama\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) coordinates. We show that the solutions include matter, graviton mass and other effective sources modelling nonlinear gravitational and matter fields interactions in modified and/or massive gravity, with polarization of physical constants and deformations of metrics, which may explain certain dark energy and dark matter effects. There are stated and analyzed the conditions when such configurations mimic interesting solutions in general relativity and modifications and recast the general Painlev\'e--ullstrand and FLRW metrics. Finally, we elaborate on a reconstruction procedure for a subclass of off-diagonal cosmological solutions which describe cyclic and ekpyrotic universes, with an emphasis on open issues and observable signatures.

The photon polarization operator is studied and the decay rate for the electron-positron photoproduction is presented as a function of the photon energy and external field strength. The radiatively induced electron mass shift in an external magnetic field is investigated. The electron self-energy in topologically massive (2+1)-QED at finite temperature and density is studied. The parity breaking part of the Yang-Mills action in the framework of the $SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge field model at finite temperature is considered.

We point out that the observed neutrino mixing pattern at low energies is very likely to originate from the 3 times 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix U which possesses the exact mu-tau permutation symmetry |U_{mu i}| = |U_{tau i}| (for i=1,2,3) at a superhigh energy scale Lambda_{mu tau} \sim 10^{14} GeV. The deviation of theta_{23} from 45^\circ and that of delta from 270^\circ in the standard parametrization of U are therefore a natural consequence of small mu-tau symmetry breaking via the renormalization-group equations (RGEs) running from Lambda_{mu tau} down to the electroweak scale Lambda_{EW} \sim 10^2 GeV. In fitting current experimental data we find that the RGE-corrected value of theta_{23} is uniquely correlated with the neutrino mass ordering: theta_{23} \simeq 42.4^\circ reported by Capozzi et al (or theta_{23} \simeq 48.9^\circ reported by Forero et al) at Lambda_{EW} can arise from theta_{23} = 45^\circ at Lambda_{mu tau} in the minimal supersymmetric standard model if the neutrino mass ordering is inverted (or normal). Accordingly, the preliminary best-fit results of delta at Lambda_{EW} can also evolve from delta = 270^\circ at Lambda_{mu tau} no matter whether the massive neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles.

We offer a pedestrian level review of the wall-crossing invariants. The story begins from the scattering theory in quantum mechanics where the spectrum reshuffling can be related to permutations of S-matrices. In non-trivial situations, starting from spin chains and matrix models, the S-matrices are operator-valued and their algebra is described in terms of R- and mixing (Racah) U-matrices. Then, the Kontsevich-Soibelman invariants are nothing but the standard knot invariants made out of these data within the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten approach. The R- and Racah matrices acquire a relatively universal form in the quasiclassical limit, where the basic reshufflings with the change of moduli are those of the Stokes line. Natural from this point of view are matrices provided by the modular transformations of conformal blocks (with the usual identification R=T and U=S), and in the simplest case of the first degenerate field (2,1), when the conformal blocks satisfy a second order Shroedinger-like equation, the invariants coincide with the Jones (N=2) invariants of the associated knots. Another possibility to construct knot invariants is to realize the cluster coordinates associated with reshufflings of the Stokes lines immediately in terms of check-operators acting on the solutions to the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. Then, the R-matrices are realized as products of successive mutations in the cluster algebra and are manifestly described in terms of quantum dilogarithms ultimately leading to the Hikami construction of knot invariants.

We apply the coherent state approach to study Aharonov-Bohm effect in the field theory context. We verify that, contrarily to the commutative result, the scattering amplitude is ultraviolet finite. However, we have logarithmic singularities as the noncommutative parameter tends to zero. Thus, the inclusion of a quartic self-interaction for the scalar field is necessary to obtain a smooth commutative limit.

Recently, some authors have considered the quantum spectrum of black holes . This consideration is extended to tachyonic black holes in a brane-anti-brane system. In this study, black holes are constructed from two branes which are connected by a tachyonic tube. As the branes come closer to each other, they evolve and make a transition to thermal black branes. It will be shown that the spectrum of these black holes depends on the tachonic potential and the separation distance between the branes. By decreasing the separation distance, more energy emerges and the spectrum of the black hole increases.

We show that dressing up the current with coherent wave-functions associated with the massive particles leads to the recently proposed Worldline Quantum Field Theory (WQFT) path integral. The currents thus constructed encode solutions of classical equations of motion so they can be applied to contexts where the classical limit is relevant, including hard thermal loops. We give several examples of these currents in scalar, gauge and gravitational theories.

In this work we extend the definition of asymptotic multi-particle states of the $S$-matrix, beyond the direct products of one-particle states. We identify new quantum numbers which we call pairwise helicities, or $q_{ij}$, associated with asymptotically separated pairs of particles. These signal the appearance of a new source of angular momentum, beyond the orbital and spin contributions. The essence of our construction is to first treat all single particles as well as all particle pairs independently, ultimately projecting onto the physical states. The resulting representations reproduce the usual direct product states for vanishing $q_{ij}$, while for vanishing spins they reproduce Zwanziger's electric-magnetic multi-particle states. Pairwise helicity then appears as a label for the extra little group phase for our quantum states, in addition to their standard little group transformation. Our newly defined multi-particle states are the correct asymptotic states for the scattering of electric and magnetic charges, with pairwise helicity identified as $q_{ij}=e_i g_j-e_j g_i$.

In this work, we investigate black hole (BH) physics in the context of gravity rainbow. We investigate this through rainbow functions that have been proposed by Amelino-Camelia, et el. in [arXiv:0806.0339, hep-th/9605211]. This modification will give corrections to both the temperature and the entropy of BH and hence it changes the picture of Hawking radiation greatly when the size of BH approaches the Planck scale. It prevents BH from total evaporation, predicting the existence of BH remnant which may resolve the catastrophic behavior of Hawking radiation as the BH mass approaches zero.

A new quantization scheme for a massive scalar field in de Sitter spacetime is proposed, based on the general boundary formulation of quantum field theory. We show that the general interacting theory can be consistently described in terms of the S-matrix for spatial asymptotic states. The new S-matrix results to be equivalent to the standard one in situations where both apply. This is due to the existence of an isomorphism between the corresponding asymptotic state spaces.

These proceedings summarise a study on the comparison between recent calculations of soft-photon corrections on these ratios and the corrections simulated by the PHOTOS package. Also the impact of Coulomb interactions, not simulated in PHOTOS, is discussed. Using pseudo-experiments, the effect of high-energy photon emission is studied in an LHCb-like environment, showing a bias of up to 7\% on measurements of $\mathcal{R}(D)$.

We ask the question of classical super (non-)Abelian T-duality for BTZ black hole metric coupling to two fermionic fields. Our approach is based on super Poisson-Lie (PL) T-duality in the presence of spectator fields. In order to study the Abelian T-duality of the metric we dualize over the Abelian Lie supergroups of the types $(1|2)$ and $(2|2)$, in such a way that it is shown that both original and dual backgrounds of the models are conformally invariant up to one-loop order in the presence of field strength. Then, we study the non-Abelian T-duality of the BTZ vacuum metric coupling to two fermionic fields. The dualizing is performed on some non-Abelian Lie supergroups of the type $(2|2)$, in such a way that we are dealing with semi-Abelian superdoubles which are non-isomorphic as Lie superalgebras in each of the models. In the non-Abelian T-duality case, it is interesting to mention that the models can be conformally invariant up to one-loop order in both cases of the absence and presence of field strength. In addition, starting from the decomposition of semi-Abelian Drinfeld superdoubles generated by some of the ${\cal C}^3 \oplus {\cal A}_{1,1}$ Lie superbialgebras we study the super PL T-plurality of the BTZ vacuum metric coupled to two fermionic fields. However, our findings are interesting in themselves, but at a constructive level, can prompt many new insights into supergravity and manifestly have interesting mathematical relationships with double field theory.

We consider particlelike solutions to supergravity based on the Kerr-Newman BH solution. The BH singularity is regularized by means of a phase transition to a new superconducting vacuum state near the core region. We show that this phase transition can be controlled by gravity in spite of the extreme smallness of the local gravitational field. Supersymmetric BPS domain wall model is suggested which can provide this phase transition and formation the stable charged (dual) superconducting core.

The relation between the trace and R-current anomalies in 4D supersymmetric theories implies that the U(1)$_R$F$^2$, U(1)$_R$ and U(1)$^3_R$ anomalies which matched in studies of N=1 Seiberg duality satisfy positivity constraints. These constraints are tested in a large number of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in the non-Abelian Coulomb phase, and they are satisfied in all renormalizable models with unique anomaly-free R-current, including those with accidental symmetry. Most striking is the fact that the flow of the Euler anomaly coefficient, $a_{UV}-a_{IR}$, is always positive, as conjectured by Cardy.

We analyze in detail the relation between an exactly marginal deformation of N=4 SYM - the Leigh-Strassler or ``beta-deformation'' - and its string theory dual (recently constructed in hep-th/0502086) by comparing energies of semiclassical strings to anomalous dimensions of gauge-theory operators in the two-scalar sector. We stress the existence of integrable structures on the two sides of the duality. In particular, we argue that the integrability of strings in AdS_5 x S^5 implies the integrability of the deformed world sheet theory with real deformation parameter. We compare the fast string limit of the worldsheet action in the sector with two angular momenta with the continuum limit of the coherent state action of an anisotropic XXZ spin chain describing the one-loop anomalous dimensions of the corresponding operators and find a remarkable agreement for all values of the deformation parameter. We discuss some of the properties of the Bethe Ansatz for this spin chain, solve the Bethe equations for small number of excitations and comment on higher loop properties of the dilatation operator. With the goal of going beyond the leading order in the 't Hooft expansion we derive the analog of the Bethe equations on the string-theory side, and show that they coincide with the thermodynamic limit of the Bethe equations for the spin chain. We also compute the 1/J corrections to the anomalous dimensions of operators with large R-charge (corresponding to strings with angular momentum J) and match them to the 1-loop corrections to the fast string energies. Our results suggest that the impressive agreement between the gauge theory and semiclassical strings in AdS_5 x S^5 is part of a larger picture underlying the gauge/gravity duality.

The temperature dependence of the elastic scattering processes $qq'\to qq'$ and $q\bar q'\to q\bar q'$, with $q, q' = u, d, s$ is studied as a function of the scattering angle and the center of mass energy of the collision within the framework of the $SU_f(3)$ Nambu--Jona--Lasinio model. Critical scattering at threshold is observed in the $q\bar q'\to q\bar q'$ process, leading to an enhancement of the cross section as occurs in the phenomenon of critical opalescence. Transport properties such as viscosity, mean free paths and thermal relaxation times are calculated. Strangeness enhancement is investigated via the chemical relaxation times, which are found to be considerably higher than those calculated via perturbative QCD. A comparison with the experimental values for the strangeness enhancement in $S+S$ collisions leads to an upper limit of 4~fm/$c$ for the lifetime of the plasma.

Precision computations of QCD and QCD+electroweak emission scattering processes will play an important role in understanding experimental data from the LHC, and thereby in uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent years have seen substantial progress in expanding our ability to perform and implement such calculations. I discuss several different topics: the resolution of seeming discrepancies between heavy-quark predictions and measurements; the ongoing program of next-to-next-to-leading order calculations; and also progress in merging the parton-shower and matrix-element calculations. I will also outline some of the techniques emerging from twistor-space string theory and its intellectual progeny.

We have recently proposed arXiv:2105.11565 a powerful method for computing group factors of the perturbative series expansion of the Wilson loop in the Chern-Simons theory with $SU(N)$ gauge group. In this paper, we apply the developed method to obtain and study various properties, including nonperturbative ones, of such vacuum expectation values. First, we discuss the computation of Vassiliev invariants. Second, we discuss the Vogel theorem of not distinguishing chord diagrams by weight systems coming from semisimple Lie (super)algebras. Third, we provide a method for constructing linear recursive relations for the colored Jones polynomials considering a special case of torus knots $T[2,2k+1]$. Fourth, we give a generalization of the one-hook scaling property for the colored Alexander polynomials. And finally, for the group factors we provide a combinatorial description, which has a clear dependence on the rank $N$ and the representation $R$.

We have recently proposed arXiv:2105.11565 a powerful method for computing group factors of the perturbative series expansion of the Wilson loop in the Chern-Simons theory with $SU(N)$ gauge group. In this paper, we apply the developed method to obtain and study various properties, including nonperturbative ones, of such vacuum expectation values. First, we discuss the computation of Vassiliev invariants. Second, we discuss the Vogel theorem of not distinguishing chord diagrams by weight systems coming from semisimple Lie (super)algebras. Third, we provide a method for constructing linear recursive relations for the colored Jones polynomials considering a special case of torus knots $T[2,2k+1]$. Fourth, we give a generalization of the one-hook scaling property for the colored Alexander polynomials. And finally, for the group factors we provide a combinatorial description, which has a clear dependence on the rank $N$ and the representation $R$.

The geometric Fierz identities are here employed to generate new emergent fermionic fields on the parallelizable (curvatureless, torsionfull) 7-sphere ($S^7$). Employing recently found new classes of spinor fields on the $S^7$ spin bundle, new classes of fermionic fields are obtained from their bilinear covariants by a generalized reconstruction theorem, on the parallelizable $S^7$. Using a generalized non-associative product on the octonionic bundle on the parallelizable $S^7$, these new classes of algebraic spinor fields, lifted onto the parallelizable $S^7$, are shown to correctly transform under the Moufang loop generators on $S^7$.

Quantum devices may overcome limitations of classical computers in studies of nuclear structure functions and parton Wigner distributions of protons and nuclei. In this talk, we discuss a worldline approach to compute nuclear structure functions in the high energy Regge limit of QCD using a hybrid quantum computer, by expressing the fermion determinant in the QCD path integral as a quantum mechanical path integral over $0+1$-dimensional fermionic and bosonic world-lines in background gauge fields. Our simplest example of computing the well-known dipole model result for the structure function $F_2$ in the high energy Regge limit is feasible with NISQ era technology using few qubits and shallow circuits. This example can be scaled up in complexity and extended in scope to compute structure functions, scattering amplitudes and other real-time correlation functions in QCD, relevant for example to describe non-equilibrium transport of quarks and gluons in a Quark-Gluon-Plasma.

We apply the dynamical systems approach to ever-expanding Bianchi type VIII cosmologies filled with a tilted $\gamma$-fluid undergoing velocity diffusion on a scalar field. We determine the future attractors and investigate the late-time behaviour of the models. We find that at late times the normalized energy density $\Omega$ tends to zero, while the scalar potential $\Phi$ approaches 1 and dominates the evolution. Moreover, we demonstrate that in presence of diffusion fluids with $\gamma<3/2$, which includes physically important cases of dust $(\gamma=1)$ and radiation $(\gamma=4/3)$, are asymptotically non-tilted; the velocity of the fluid with $\gamma=3/2$ tends to a constant value $0<\bar{V}<1$; and stiffer fluids evolve towards a state of extreme tilt. Finally, we show that diffusion significantly reduces the decay rates of energy density for dust and fluids stiffer than dust $(\gamma \geq 1)$; for example, at $\gamma=4/3$ (radiation) we obtain $\rho/H^2 \propto e^{-3H_0 t}$ at late times, while $\rho/H^2 \propto e^{-4H_0 t}$ when diffusion is absent.

Recent pulsar timing array collaborations have reported evidence of the stochastic gravitational wave background. The gravitational waves induced by primordial curvature perturbations, referred to as scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs), could potentially be the physical origins of this gravitational wave background. In addition to the statistical properties of SIGWs derived from the primordial fluctuations, SIGWs also have intrinsic non-Gaussianity originating from the non-linear interactions of Einstein's gravity, which, however, is rarely explored. In this paper, we study the intrinsic non-Gaussianity of SIGWs with the bispectrum and the skewness under the assumption of the Gaussian primordial curvature perturbations, phenomenologically modeled as a lognormal spectrum. The bispectrum is shown to be vanishing in the collinear limit, which is independent of the initial conditions and the dynamics of SIGWs. For the SIGWs generated during the radiation-dominated era, the bispectrum is of flatten-type non-Gaussianity, with only four polarization components left to be non-vanishing. Additionally, in order to obtain the correct bispectrum, we also propose a time-oscillation average scheme and a regularization scheme. Utilizing the skewness for quantifying the degree of non-Gaussianity, it is found that the curvature power spectrum with a narrow width can result in an enhancement of the third-order non-Gaussianity. The conclusion holds for both the SIGWs generated in the radiation-dominated era and the matter-dominated era.

We investigate the symmetry structure of inflation in 2+1 dimensions. In particular, we show that the asymptotic symmetries of three-dimensional de Sitter space are in one-to-one correspondence with cosmological adiabatic modes for the curvature perturbation. In 2+1 dimensions, the asymptotic symmetry algebra is infinite-dimensional, given by two copies of the Virasoro algebra, and can be traced to the conformal symmetries of the two-dimensional spatial slices of de Sitter. We study the consequences of this infinite-dimensional symmetry for inflationary correlation functions, finding new soft theorems that hold only in 2+1 dimensions. Expanding the correlation functions as a power series in the soft momentum $q$, these relations constrain the traceless part of the tensorial coefficient at each order in $q$ in terms of a lower-point function. As a check, we verify that the ${\cal O}(q^2)$ identity is satisfied by inflationary correlation functions in the limit of small sound speed.

We numerically investigate the features of typical orbits occurring in the Oort cloud (r\approx 50-150 kAU) in the low-acceleration regime of the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). We take into account the so-called External Field Effect (EFE) because the solar system is embedded in the Milky Way. In the framework of MOND this does matter since the gravitational acceleration of Galactic origin felt by the solar system is of the same order of magnitude of the characteristic MOND acceleration scale A_0\approx 10^-10 m s^-2. We use three different forms of the MOND interpolating function \mu(x) and two different values for the Galactic field at the Sun's location. We find that MOND produces highly distorted trajectories with respect to the Newtonian case, especially for very eccentric orbits. It turns out that the shape of the MOND orbits strongly depend on the initial conditions. For particular initial state vectors, the MOND paths in the ecliptic plane get shrunk extending over much smaller spatial regions than in the Newtonian case, and experience high frequency variations over one Keplerian orbital period. Ecliptic orbits with different initial conditions and nearly polar orbits are quite different getting distorted as well, but they occupy more extended spatial regions. This facts may have consequences on the composition and the dynamical history of the Oort cloud which are difficult to predict.

We study the Ward-Takahashi identities in the standard model with the gauge fixing terms given by (1.1) and (1.2). We find that the isolated singularities of the propagators for the unphysical particles are poles of even order, not the simple poles people have assumed them to be. Furthermore, the position of these poles are ultraviolet divergent. Thus the standard model in the alpha gauge in general, and the Feynman gauge in particular, is not renormalizable. We study also the case with the gauge fixing terms (1.3), and find that the propagators remain non-renormalizable. The only gauge without these difficulties is the Landau gauge. One therefore has to make a distinction between the renormalizability of the Green functions and that of the physical scattering amplitudes.

We apply a coupled transport-hydrodynamics model to discuss the production of multi-strange meta-stable objects in Pb+Pb reactions at the FAIR facility. In addition to making predictions for yields of these particles we are able to calculate particle dependent rapidity and momentum distributions. We argue that the FAIR energy regime is the optimal place to search for multi-strange baryonic object (due to the high baryon density, favouring a distillation of strangeness). Additionally, we show results for strangeness and baryon density fluctuations. Using the UrQMD model we calculate the strangeness seperation in phase space which might lead to an enhanced production of MEMOs compared to models that assume global thermalization.

In quantum mechanics, the measureable quantities of a given theory are predicted by performing a weighted sum over possibilities. We show how to arrange the possibilities into bundles such that the associated subsums can be viewed as well-defined theories on their own right. These bundles are submani$\textit{folds}$ of $\textit{possi}$bilities which we call possifolds. We collect and prove some basic facts about possifolds. Especially, we show that possifolds are ensembles of what in a certain broadly defined sense that we explain can be regarded as soliton excitations (soliton-possifold correspondence). We provide an outlook on some applications. Among other things, we illustrate the use of the developed framework for the example of the Lieb-Liniger model. It describes non-relativistic bosons with an attractive interaction. We derive a dual theory describing the lowest-lying energy excitation modes. While the standard Bogoliubov-approximation breaks down at the critical point, our derived summation prescription stays regular. In the Bogoliubov-limit we observe the summation to possess an enhanced symmetry at this point while the summation cannot be ignored there. We finally provide a glimpse on the restrictions black hole physics implies in this context for the gravitational path integral.

We demonstrate a single-parameter route for reproducing higher mass objects as observed in the LIGO--Virgo mass distribution, using only the isolated binary stellar evolution channel. This single parameter encodes the cosmological mass growth of compact stellar remnants that exceed the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit. Cosmological mass growth appears in known solutions to General Relativity with cosmological boundary conditions. We consider the possibility of solutions with cosmological boundary conditions, which reduce to Kerr on timescales short compared to the Hubble time. We discuss complementary observational signatures of these solutions that can confirm or invalidate their astrophysical relevance.

We consider the recursion relation for loop integrands in planar N = 4 SYM generated by an all-line shift of momentum twistors. We examine the behaviour of the rational loop integrands when the shift parameter becomes large, and find that a valid recursion relation may be obtained in all cases. The recursion relation is then formulated both in region momentum space and in momentum twistor space, and solved in detail for some one and two-loop examples. Finally, we show that the general iterative solution of the recursion relation generates the MHV vertex expansion for all loop integrands, providing a proof of the MHV diagram formalism for all loop amplitudes in planar N = 4 SYM.

Finally, we show that the general iterative solution of the recursion relation generates the MHV vertex expansion for all loop integrands, providing a proof of the MHV diagram formalism for all loop amplitudes in planar N = 4 SYM.

Cosmological models with a de Sitter 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional de Sitter spacetime (dS5) give rise to a finite 4D Planck mass similar to that in Randall-Sundrum (RS) brane-world models in AdS5 spacetime. Yet there arise a few important differences as compared to the results with a flat 3-brane or 4D Minkowski spacetime. For example, the mass reduction formula (MRF) $M_{Pl}^2=M_{5}^3 \ell_{AdS}$ as well as the relationship $M_{Pl}^2= M_{Pl(4+n)}^{n+2} L^{n}$ (with $L$ being the average size or the radius of the $n$ extra dimensions) expected in models of product-space (or Kaluza-Klein) compactifications get modified in cosmological backgrounds. In an expanding universe, a physically relevant MRF encodes information upon the four-dimensional Hubble expansion parameter, in addition to the length and mass parameters $L$, $M_{Pl}$ and $M_{Pl (4+n)}$. If a bulk cosmological constant is present in the solution, then the reduction formula is further modified. With these new insights, we show that the localization of a massless 4D graviton as well as the mass hierarchy between $M_{Pl}$ and $M_{Pl (4+n)}$ can be explained in cosmological brane-world models. A notable advantage of having a 5D de Sitter bulk is that in this case the zero-mass wavefunction is normalizable, which is not necessarily the case if the bulk spacetime is anti de Sitter. In spacetime dimensions $D\ge 7$, however, the bulk cosmological constant $\Lambda_b$ can take either sign ($\Lambda_b <0$, $=0$, or $>0$). The D=6 case is rather inconclusive, in which case $\Lambda_b$ may be introduced together with 2-form gauge field (or flux).

Supersymmetry offers one of the deepest insights in the concept of solvability in quantum mechanics. This insight is, paradoxically, restricted by one of the most serious formal drawbacks of the standard Witten's formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics which lies in the Jevicki-Rodrigues' postulate of absence of poles in superpotentials W(x) over all the real axis of coordinates x. In our review we emphasize that this obstacle is artificial and that it disappears immediately after a suitable (say, constant) shift of the axis of x into complex plane. Detailed attention is paid to a close relationship between this common trick and the recent not quite expected increase of interest in non-Hermitian (a. k. a. PT-symmetric or pseudo-Hermitian) Hamiltonians. We show that the resulting PT-SUSY regularization recipe proves both easy and universal. An insight into its mathematics is mediated by the complex harmonic oscillator with a centrifugal-like spike. An exhaustive discussion of the role of the strength of this spike is offered. In addition we recollect the possibility of a re-formulation of the recipe in the second-order SUSY language. Finally we list a few promising directions of applicability of our PT-SUSY regularization prescription to a few more complicated nonrelativistic models (superintegrable Hamiltonians of the Smorodinsky-Winternitz and of the Calogero-Sutherland type) and to the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation (as well as to all of its unphysical higher-order analogues).
