Simple Euclidean wormholes might not contribute in the path integral

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 59 minutes - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
I present evidence, both from a GR and a holographic viewpoint, that Coleman's Euclidean axion wormholes do not contribute to the path integral.

Six-dimensional CFTs and M5-branes

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
I will review some recent progress on six-dimensional conformal field theories, highlighting applications to the dynamics of M5-branes. On an orbifold singularity, M5s can fractionate, and they can recombine by sometimes leaving behind a 'frozen' version of the singularity. The CFTs describing th...

I will present recent results about supersymmetric partition functions of 3d N=2 and 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with an R-symmetry. Many partition function functions on half-BPS geometric backgrounds can be viewed as expectation values of codimension-2 half-BPS defect operators on C*S^1...

I will present a new approach to study the RG flow in 3d N=4 gauge theories, based on an analysis of the Coulomb branch of vacua, focusing on U(N) SQCD theories with fundamental matter. The Coulomb branch is described as a complex algebraic variety and important informations about the strongly co...

The OPE Randomness Hypothesis and Euclidean Wormholes

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
Recent developments in holography indicate that the semi-classical Euclidean path-integral of Einstein gravity is much more powerful than previously anticipated. It is capable of reproducing a unitary Page curve for black hole evaporation, and can even capture some features of the discrete natu...

The principle of holography of information and its low-energy tests

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
The principle of holography of information states that, in any theory of quantum gravity, a copy of all the information available on a Cauchy slice is also available near the boundary of the slice. This principle can be made precise and proved, under weak assumptions, for theories of gravity in A...

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Higher-Derivative Supergravity in AdS_4 Holography

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 54 minutes - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
I will describe the four-derivative corrections to four-dimensional N=2 minimal gauged supergravity and show that they are controlled by two constants. Interestingly, the solutions of the equations of motion in the two-derivative theory are not modified by the higher-derivative corrections. I wil...

Topological partition functions and (iterated) integrals of modular forms

ASC Workshops - April 06, 2021 16:18 - 1 hour - Video ★★★★★ - 1 rating
As a consequence of electric-magnetic duality, partition functions of four-dimensional gauge theories can be expressed in terms of modular forms in many cases. I will discuss new results for the modularity of topologically twisted partition functions of N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric theories, and in...
