We derive the scalar potential in four spacetime dimensions from an
eight-dimensional $(R+\gamma R^4-2\Lambda-F_4^2)$ gravity model in the presence
of the 4-form $F_4$, with the (modified gravity) coupling constant $\gamma$ and
the cosmological constant $\Lambda$, by using the flux compactification of four
extra dimensions on a 4-sphere with the warp factor. The scalar potential
depends upon two scalar fields: the scalaron and the 4-sphere volume modulus.
We demonstrate that it gives rise to a viable description of cosmological
inflation in the early Universe, with the scalaron playing the role of inflaton
and the volume modulus to be (almost) stabilized at its minimum. We also
speculate about a possibility of embedding our model in eight dimensions into a
modified eight-dimensional supergavity that, in its turn, arises from a
modified eleven-dimensional supergravity.

We show that, in discrete models of quantum gravity, emergent geometric space
can be viewed as the entanglement pattern in a mixed quantum state of the
"universe", characterized by a universal topological network entanglement. As a
concrete example we analyze the recently proposed model in which geometry
emerges due to the condensation of 4-cycles in random regular bipartite graphs,
driven by the combinatorial Ollivier-Ricci curvature. Using this model we show
that the emergence of geometric order decreases the entanglement entropy of
random configurations. The lowest geometric entanglement entropy is realized in
four dimensions.

We provide an explicit construction of 1/4 BPS states in four-dimensional N=4
Super-Yang-Mills theory with a gauge group SU(3). These states correspond to
three-pronged strings connecting three D3-branes. We also find curves of
marginal stability in the moduli space of the theory, at which the above states
can decay into two 1/2 BPS states.

In this paper, we demonstrate the classification of the gap in a holographic
setup by studying the density of states. A gap can be classified into order gap
and Mott gap depending on the presence of the order due to the symmetry
breaking or not. A Mott insulating gap appears in the fermion spectrum due to
the strong Coulomb interaction between the electrons. We then classify all Mott
gaps as well as order gaps in one-flavor and two-flavor fermions. We also
identified possible non-minimal interactions that may produce a flatband.

According to a conjecture attributed to Polya and Hilbert, there is a
self-adjoint operator whose eigenvalues are the the nontrivial zeros of the
Riemann zeta function. We show that the near-horizon dynamics of a massive
scalar field in the Schwarzscild black hole spacetime, under a reasonable
boundary condition, gives rise to normal mode frequencies that coincide with
the nontrivial Riemann zeros. In achieving this result, we exploit the
Bekenstein conjecture of black hole area quantization, and argue that it is
responsible for the breaking of the continuous scale symmetry of the near
horizon dynamics into a discrete one.

Spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system
are constructed using the harmonic map ansatz. The problem reduces to solving a
set of ordinary differential equations for the appropriate profile functions.
In the SU(2) case, we recover the equations studied in great detail previously,
while for the SU(N) (N > 2) case we find new solutions. In the SU(3) case we
see that our expressions are the gravitating analogues of the solutions
obtained through the SO(3) embedding into SU(2).

We show examples of a striped superfluid in a simple $\lambda\varphi^4$ model
at finite velocity and chemical potential with a global $U(1)$ or $U(2)$
symmetry. Whenever the chemical potential is large enough we find flowing
homogeneous solutions and static inhomogeneous solutions at any arbitrary small
velocity. For the $U(1)$ model the inhomogeneous solutions found are
energetically favourable for large enough superfluid velocity and the
homogeneous and inhomogeneous phases are connected via a first order phase
transitions. On the other hand, the $U(2)$ model becomes striped as soon as we
turn on the velocity through a second order phase transition. In both models
increasing the velocity leads to a second order phase transition into a phase
with no condensate.

The total cross-section and the jet cross-section differ at a proton-proton
collision. The latter is divergent if arbitrarily small transverse momenta are
allowed. Even with some fixed lower pt cutoff, increases the jet cross-section
much faster than the total cross-section at high energies. We have in this
paper studied how the divergence could be tamed by colour screening effects
among the partons. To do this we have built a proton model where we assign
momenta, positions and colour-charge to all partons in the proton. We find that
the relative behaviour of the cross-section can be better understood by the
inclusion of this effect.

Utilizing the holographic technique, we investigate how the entanglement
entropy evolves along the RG flow. After introducing a new generalized
temperature which satisfies the thermodynamics-like law even in the IR regime,
we find that the renormalized entropy and the generalized temperature in the IR
limit approach the thermal entropy and thermodynamic temperature of a real
thermal system. This result implies that the microscopic quantum entanglement
entropy in the IR region leads to the thermodynamic relation up to small
quantum corrections caused by the quantum entanglement near the entangling
surface. Intriguingly, this IR feature of the entanglement entropy universally
happens regardless of the detail of the dual field theory and the shape of the
entangling surface. We check this IR universality with a most general geometry
called the hyperscaling violation geometry which is dual to a relativistic
non-conformal field theory.

In two dimensional conformal field theories the limit of large central charge
plays the role of a semi-classical limit. Certain universal observables, such
as conformal blocks involving the exchange of the identity operator, can be
expanded around this classical limit in powers of the central charge $c$. This
expansion is an asymptotic series, so - via the same resurgence analysis
familiar from quantum mechanics - necessitates the existence of
non-perturbative effects. In the case of identity conformal blocks, these new
effects have a simple interpretation: the CFT must possess new primary
operators with dimension of order the central charge. This constrains the data
of CFTs with large central charge in a way that is similar to (but distinct
from) the conformal bootstrap. We study this phenomenon in three ways:
numerically, analytically using Zamolodchikov's recursion relations, and by
considering non-unitary minimal models with large (negative) central charge. In
the holographic dual to a CFT$_2$, the expansion in powers of $c$ is the
perturbative loop expansion in powers of $\hbar$. So our results imply that the
graviton loop expansion is an asymptotic series, whose cure requires the
inclusion of new saddle points in the gravitational path integral. In certain
cases these saddle points have a simple interpretation: they are conical
excesses, particle-like states with negative mass which are not in the physical
spectrum but nevertheless appear as non-manifold saddle points that control the
asymptotic behaviour of the loop expansion. This phenomenon also has an
interpretation in $SL(2,{\mathbb R})$ Chern-Simons theory, where the
non-perturbative effects are associated with the non-Teichm\"uller component of
the moduli space of flat connections.

singularities in the model become smooth at high energy from the viewpoint of
open string. We show that there always exist bulk (movable) D-branes by the
effect of electric flux. The model also includes Nappi-Witten model as the
Penrose limit and supersymmetry is enhanced in the limit. We examine this
phenomenon in the open string spectrum. We also find the similar enhancement of
supersymmetry can be occurred in several coset models.

In this paper we study the superstring version of the exactly solvable string model constructed by Russo and Tseytlin. This model represents superstring theory in a curved spacetime and can be seen as a generalization of the Melvin background. We investigate D-branes in this model as probes of the background geometry by constructing the boundary states. We find that spacetime singularities in the model become smooth at high energy from the viewpoint of open string. We show that there always exist bulk (movable) D-branes by the effect of electric flux. The model also includes Nappi-Witten model as the Penrose limit and supersymmetry is enhanced in the limit. We examine this phenomenon in the open string spectrum. We also find the similar enhancement of supersymmetry can be occurred in several coset models.

One of the simplest time-dependent solutions of M theory consists of
nine-dimensional Euclidean space times 1+1-dimensional compactified Milne
space-time. With a further modding out by Z_2, the space-time represents two
orbifold planes which collide and re-emerge, a process proposed as an
explanation of the hot big bang. When the two planes are near, the light states
of the theory consist of winding M2-branes, describing fundamental strings in a
particular ten-dimensional background. They suffer no blue-shift as the M
theory dimension collapses, and their equations of motion are regular across
the transition from big crunch to big bang. In this paper, we study the
classical evolution of fundamental strings across the singularity in some
detail. We also develop a simple semi-classical approximation to the quantum
evolution which allows one to compute the quantum production of excitations on
the string and implement it in a simplified example.

It is proposed how to impose a general type of ''noncommutativity'' within
classical mechanics from first principles. Formulation is performed in
completely alternative way, i.e. without any resort to fuzzy and/or star
product philosophy, which are extensively applied within noncommutative quantum
theories. Newton-Lagrange noncommutative equations of motion are formulated and
their properties are analyzed from the pure geometrical point of view. It is
argued that the dynamical quintessence of the system consists in its kinetic
energy (Riemannian metric) specifying Riemann-Levi-Civita connection and thus
the inertia geodesics of the free motion. Throughout the paper,
''noncommutativity'' is considered as an internal geometric structure of the
configuration space, which can not be ''observed'' per se. Manifestation of the
noncommutative phenomena is mediated by the interaction of the system with
noncommutative background under the consideration. The simplest model of the
interaction (minimal coupling) is proposed and it is shown that guiding affine
connection is modified by the quadratic analog of the Lorentz electromagnetic
force (contortion term).

is claimed that explicit evaluation of the thermal photon self-energy in the
Schwinger model gives off-shell thermal Green functions that are different in
light-front and conventional quantizations. We show that the claimed difference
originates from an erroneous simplification of the fermion propagator used in

After a brief discussion of small and large gauge transformations and the
nature of observables, we discuss superselection sectors in gauge theories.
There are an infinity of them, classified by large gauge transformations. Gauge
theory sectors are labelled by the eigenvalues of a complete commuting set
(CCS) of these transformations.
In QED, the standard chemical potential is one such operator generating
global U(1). There are many more given by the moments of the electric field on
the sphere at infinity. In QCD, the CCS are constructed from the two commuting
generators spanning a Cartan subalgebra.
We show that any element of a large gauge transformation can be added to the
standard Hamiltonian as a chemical potential without changing field equations
and that in QCD, they lead to confined and deconfined phases . A speculation
about the physical meaning of these chemical potentials is also made.
Comment: This note is based on seminars by the author. So only a limited
number of references are given, from which further literature can be traced.
A paper is under preparation.

Assuming the Statistical Hadronization Model and charm flavour conservation,
one can quantify the deviation of charm and anti-charm quarks from chemical
equilibrium both in the hadronic phase and in the quark-gluon plasma. By
linking the hadronic fireball volume and the corresponding plasma source volume
via entropy conservation as proposed by Grandchamp et al., a direct comparison
between the $J/\psi$ yields in both pictures can be used to obtain limits for
the charm quark mass in the medium.

We introduce a new method to treat Majorana fermions on the GRACE system,
which has already been developed for the computation of the matrix elements for
the processes of the standard model. In the standard model, we already have
included such particles as Dirac fermions, gauge bosons and scalar bosons in
the system. On the other hand, there are four Majorana fermions called
neutralinos in the minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM). In consequence, we have
constructed a system for the automatic computation of cross-sections for the
processes of the MSSM. It is remarkable that our system is also applicable for
another model including Majorana fermions once the definition of the model file
is given.

Bloch branes were introduced previously and are constructed in a system
described by two real scalar fields coupled with gravity in (4, 1) dimensions
in warped spacetime involving one extra dimension. This work investigates
gravity on such thick branes with internal structure and focuses on the effects
of massive graviton modes localization on the brane and to what extent they
might reproduce the 4d gravity at a scale before escaping into the extra
dimension. In this way gravitational measurements on the brane could reveal the
existence of the extra dimension on some scales, with possible applications on
brane cosmology.

We study the Langevin diffusion of a relativistic heavy quark in anisotropic
strongly coupled theories in the local limit. Firstly, we use the axion
space-dependent deformed anisotropic N=4 sYM, where the geometry anisotropy is
always prolate, while the pressure anisotropy may be prolate or oblate. For
motion along the anisotropic direction we find that the effective temperature
for the quark can be larger than the heat bath temperature, in contrast to what
happens in the isotropic theory. The longitudinal and transverse Langevin
diffusion coefficients depend strongly on the anisotropy, the direction of
motion and the transverse direction considered. We analyze the anisotropy
effects to the coefficients and compare them to each other and to them of the
isotropic theory. To examine the dependence of the coefficients on the type of
the geometry, we consider another bottom-up anisotropic model. Changing the
geometry from prolate to oblate, certain diffusion coefficients interchange
their behaviors. In both anisotropic backgrounds we find cases that the
transverse diffusion coefficient is larger than the longitudinal, but we find
no negative excess noise.

We report the existence of a ghost- and tachyon-free sector in metric-affine
theories of gravity, that is invariant under diffeomorphism and a particular
abelian symmetry. In contrast with many studied cases in the literature, the
constraints for unitarity and causality are granted by non-accidental
symmetries and do not ask for further tuning, whose fate under renormalization
would be unclear. Unsurprisingly, the minimal model is massless. We find that a
mechanism to provide mass is accommodated by a simple Stueckelberg extension of
metric-affine gravity involving the non-metricity tensor. A non-trivial result
is that also such an extension describes a ghost- and tachyon-free dynamic
stabilized by the same abelian symmetry. The resulting spectrum of the
collective rank-3, rank-2, and rank-0 Lagrangian is investigated with the
operators recently computed in the literature.

Electroweak theory with two massless Higgs doublets is studied by solving
renormalization group equations for coupling constants in one-loop
approximation. A cutoff~$\Lambda$, at which one of quartic couplings in the
Higgs potential blows up, is obtained by imposing constraints from the oblique
parameter $T$ on the quartic couplings at low energy. We find $\Lambda \simeq
0.52\sim 8.4$~TeV at the Higgs mass $M_H=100$ GeV. The cutoff $\Lambda$ is at
most about $60$ TeV even if we take into account the LEP lower bound of
$M_H\simeq 64$ GeV. It cannot reach the Planck or GUT scale due to severe
experimental constraints. It is impossible in the model to realize a large
gauge hierarchy as suggested many years ago by S. Weinberg.

We consider antiparallel Wilson lines in N=4 super Yang-Mills in the presence
of a codimension-1 defect. We compute the Wilson lines' expectation value both
at weak coupling, in the gauge theory, and at strong coupling, by finding the
string configurations which are dual to this operator. These configurations
display a Gross-Ooguri transition between a connected, U-shaped string phase
and a phase in which the string breaks into two disconnected surfaces. We
analyze in detail the critical configurations separating the two phases and
compare the string result with the gauge theory one in a certain double scaling
limit.

Supersymmetric Minkowski vacua in IIB orientifold compactifications based on
orbifolds with background fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials are
investigated. Especially, microscopic requirements and difficulties to obtain
such vacua are discussed. We show that orbifold models with one and two complex

Supersymmetric Minkowski vacua in IIB orientifold compactifications based on orbifolds with background fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials are investigated. Especially, microscopic requirements and difficulties to obtain such vacua are discussed. We show that orbifold models with one and two complex structure moduli and supersymmetric 2-form flux can be successfully stabilized to such vacua. By taking additional gaugino condensation on fixed space-time filling D3-branes into account also models without complex structure can be consistently stabilized to Minkowski vacua.

We study the $SU(N)$ self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems with adjoint matter
coupling, and show that the sixth order self-dual potential has $p(N)$ gauge
inequivalent degenerate minima, where $p(N)$ is the number of partitions of
$N$. We compute the masses of the gauge and scalar excitations in these
different vacua, revealing an intricate mass structure which reflects the
self-dual nature of the model.

In this paper we study the integrability of a family of models with
U(1)xSU(N) symmetry. They admit fermionic and bosonic formulations related
through bosonization and subsequent T-duality. The fermionic theory is just the
CP^(N-1) sigma model coupled to a self-interacting massless fermion, while the
bosonic one defines a one-parameter deformation of the O(2N) sigma model. For
N=2 the latter model is equivalent to the integrable deformation of the O(4)
sigma model discovered by Wiegmann. At higher values of N we find that
integrability is more sporadic and requires a fine-tuning of the parameters of
the theory. A special case of our study is the N=4 model, which was found to
describe the AdS_4xCP^3 string theory in the Alday-Maldacena decoupling limit.
In this case we propose a set of asymptotic Bethe ansatz equations for the
energy spectrum.

Superconformal `type B' quantum mechanical sigma models arise in a variety of
interesting contexts, such as the description of D-brane bound states in an
AdS$_2$ decoupling limit. Focusing on $N=2B$ models, we study superconformal
indices which count short multiplets and provide an alternative to the standard
Witten index, as the latter suffers from infrared issues. We show that the
basic index receives contributions from lowest Landau level states in an
effective magnetic field and that, due to the noncompactness of the target
space, it is typically divergent. Fortunately, the models of interest possess
an additional target space isometry which allows for the definition of a
well-behaved refined index. We compute this index using localization of the
functional integral and find that the result agrees with a naive application of
the Atiyah-Bott fixed point formula outside of it's starting assumptions. In
the simplest examples, this formula can also be directly verified by explicitly
computing the short multiplet spectrum.

We consider the Born-Infeld action for symmetry-preserving, orientable
D-branes in compact group manifolds. We find classical solutions that obey the
flux quantization condition. They correspond to conformally invariant boundary
conditions on the world sheet. We compute the spectrum of quadratic
fluctuations and find agreement with the predictions of conformal field theory,
up to a missing level-dependent truncation. Our results extend to D-branes with
the geometry of twined conjugacy classes; they illustrate the mechanism of flux
stabilization of D-branes.

Imprints of spinor-vector dualities have been uncovered in various string
constructions. They are typically induced by changing certain free general GSO
phases in the underlying string partition functions. This paper shows that
spinor-vector dualities in six dimensions are constrained by a fundamental
effective field theory consistency condition, namely that any six dimensional
low energy theory must be free of irreducible SO(2N) anomalies. Aspects of
spinor-vector dualities are analysed in four six-dimensional free fermionic
models which are distinguished by two generalised GSO phases. In addition, the
constraint on the number of spinors and vectors is confirmed on generic spectra
which may occur in K3 line bundle compactifications of the heterotic E8xE8
string.

Using the Schwinger-Keldysh technique we discuss how to derive the transport
equations for the system of massless quantum fields. We analyse the scalar
field models with quartic and cubic interaction terms. In the $\phi^4$ model
the massive quasiparticles appear due to the self-interaction of massless bare
fields. Therefore, the derivation of the transport equations strongly resembles
that one of the massive fields, but the subset of diagrams which provide the
quasiparticle mass has to be resummed. The kinetic equation for the finite
width quasiparticles is found, where, except the mean-field and collision
terms, there are terms which are absent in the standard Boltzmann equation. The
structure of these terms is discussed. In the massless $\phi^3$ model the
massive quasiparticles do not emerge and presumably there is no transport
theory corresponding to this model. It is not surprising since the $\phi^3$
model is anyhow ill defined.

I review results recently obtained within the Hamiltonian approach to
Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge. In particular, I will present results for
the ghost and gluon propagators and compare these with recent lattice data.
Furthermore, I will give an interpretation of the inverse of the ghost form
factor as the dielectric function of the Yang-Mills vacuum. Our ansatz for the
vacuum wave functional will be checked by means of functional renormalization
group flow equations, which are solved for the gluon energy and the ghost form
factor. Finally, we calculate the Wilson loop for the vacuum wave functional
obtained from the variational approach, using a Dyson equation.

Axion physics is briefly reviewed. Constraints from laboratory searches,
astrophysics and cosmology require the axion mass to be in the range $10^{-6}
\lesssim m_a < 3\cdot 10^{-3}$eV. Near the lower end of this range, axions are
all or a major component of the cold dark matter of the universe. The late
infall of axions, and of any other cold dark matter particles, onto our galaxy
produces streams and caustics in its halo. The outer caustics are topological
spheres whereas the inner caustics are rings. The self-similar model of
galactic halo formation predicts that the caustic ring radii $a_n$ obey the
approximate law $a_n \sim 1/n$. Evidence for this law has been found in a
statistical study of 32 extended and well-measured external galactic rotation
curves, and in the existence and distribution of sharp rises in the Milky Way
rotation curve. Moreover, a triangular feature in the IRAS map of the Galactic
plane is consistent with the imprint of a ring caustic upon the baryonic
matter. Its position coincides with a rise in the rotation curve, the one
nearest to us. These observations imply that the dark matter in our
neighborhood is dominated by a single flow. Estimates of that flow's density
and velocity vector are given.

Moreover, a triangular feature in the IRAS map of the Galactic plane is consistent with the imprint of a ring caustic upon the baryonic matter. Its position coincides with a rise in the rotation curve, the one nearest to us. These observations imply that the dark matter in our neighborhood is dominated by a single flow. Estimates of that flow's density and velocity vector are given.

We build the two dimensional Gross-Neveu model by a new method which requires
neither cluster expansion nor discretization of phase-space. It simply
reorganizes the perturbative series in terms of trees. With this method we can
for the first time define non perturbatively the renormalization group
differential equations of the model and at the same time construct explicitly
their solution.

We obtain the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and
anti-BRST symmetry transformations (corresponding to the infinitesimal
classical gauge symmetry transformations) for the St${\ddot
u}$ckelberg-modified massive three $(2 + 1)$-dimensional (3D) Abelian 2-form
gauge theory with a single pseudo-scalar field. The latter field (having the
negative kinetic term and a well-defined mass) has already been shown (i) to
exist in the modified version of the standard 3D St${\ddot u}$ckelberg
formalism (on solid mathematical grounds), (ii) to be a possible candidate for
dark matter, and (iii) to correspond to the ``phantom" field of some of the
cosmological models of the Universe. A couple of highlights of our present
endeavor are (i) the observation that, even though the pseudo-scalar field does
not transform under the gauge and (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations, it
appears in the first-class constraints which annihilate the physical states at
the quantum level, and (ii) the Noether conserved (anti-)BRST charges are found
to be non-nilpotent. In our present investigation, we derive (i) the coupled
(but equivalent) BRST and anti-BRST invariant Lagrangian densities, (ii) the
conserved and off-shell nilpotent versions of the (anti-)BRST charges and the
conserved ghost charge, (iii) the (anti-)BRST invariant Curci-Ferrari (CF) type
restrictions, and (iv) the standard BRST algebra amongst the conserved and
nilpotent (anti-)BRST and conserved ghost charges of our theory.

K\"ahler-Chern-Simons theory describes antiself-dual gauge fields on a four-

potentials, the symplectic reduction of which by the constraints of
antiself-duality leads to the moduli space of antiself-dula instantons. We
outline the theory highlighting the symmetries, their canonical realization and
some properties of the quantum wave functions. The relationship to integrable

For the most general supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity
consisting of a warped product of AdS_5 with a five-dimensional manifold M_5,
we construct an explicit consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction on M_5 to minimal
D=5 gauged supergravity. Thus, any solution of the gauged supergravity can be
uplifted on M_5 to obtain an exact solution of type IIB supergravity. We also
show that for general AdS_4 x SE_7 solutions, where SE_7 is a seven-dimensional
Sasaki-Einstein manifold, and for a general class of supersymmetric solutions
that are a warped product of AdS_4 with a seven-dimensional manifold N_7, there
is an analogous consistent reduction to minimal D=4 gauged supergravity.

The photonic and QCD radiative corrections at next-to-leading order are
calculated for fermion-pair production at muon colliders, maintaining the full
mass dependence and helicity information of the muons and the produced
fermions. Higher-order effects of initial-state radiation are included at the
leading logarithmic level. In the calculation particular attention is paid to
the issue of gauge invariance in the vicinity of resonances. The most important
corrections are presented in analytical form. The detailed numerical discussion
concentrates on the corrections to the (s-channel) Higgs-boson resonances in
the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension. The results show
that photonic initial- and QCD final-state corrections are very important in a
precision study of Higgs resonances, but that (photonic) initial-final
interferences are widely suppressed and only modify the non-resonant
background.

Neutrino masses could originate in seesaw models testable at colliders, with
light mediators and an approximate lepton number symmetry. The minimal model of
this type contains two quasi-degenerate Majorana fermions forming a
pseudo-Dirac pair. An important question is to what extent future colliders
will have sensitivity to the splitting between the Majorana components, since
this quantity signals the breaking of lepton number and is connected to the
light neutrino masses. We consider the production of these neutral heavy
leptons at the ILC, where their displaced decays provide a golden signal: a
forward-backward charge asymmetry, which depends crucially on the mass
splitting between the two Majorana components. We show that this observable can
constrain the mass splitting to values much lower than current bounds from
neutrinoless double beta decay and natural loop corrections.

We propose a new factorization pattern for tree-level Yang-Mills (YM)
amplitudes, where they decompose into a sum of products of two lower-point
amplitudes by setting specific two-point non-planar Mandelstam variables within
a rectangular configuration to zero. This approach manifests the hidden zeros
of YM amplitudes recently identified. Furthermore, by setting specific Lorentz
products involving polarization vectors to zero, the amplitudes further reduce
to a sum of products of three currents. These novel factorizations provide a
fresh perspective on the structure of YM amplitudes, potentially enhancing our
understanding and calculation of these fundamental quantities.

Much insight into the dynamics of quantum field theories can be gained by
studying the relationship between field theories in different dimensions. An
interesting observation is that when two theories are related by dimensional
reduction on a compact surface, their 't Hooft anomalies corresponding to
continuous symmetries are also related: the anomaly polynomial of the
lower-dimensional theory can be obtained by integrating that of the
higher-dimensional one on the compact surface. Naturally, this relation only
holds if both theories are even dimensional. This raises the question of
whether similar relations can also hold for the case of anomalies in discrete
symmetries, which might be true even in odd dimensions. The natural
generalization to discrete symmetries is that the anomaly theories, associated
with the lower and higher dimensional theories, would be related by reduction
on the compact surface. We explore this idea for compactifications of 5d
superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to 3d on Riemann surfaces with
global-symmetry fluxes. In this context, it can be used both as a check for
these compactification constructions and for discovering new anomalies in the
5d SCFTs. This opens the way to applying the same idea of dimensional reduction
of the anomaly theory to more general types of compactifications.

Quantum radiated energy flux emitted by an Unruh-DeWitt (UD) detector, with
the internal harmonic oscillator coupled to a massless scalar field, in linear
oscillatory motion in (3+1) dimensional Minkowski space is studied by numerical
methods. Our results show that quantum interference can indeed suppress the
signal of the Unruh effect if the averaged proper acceleration is sufficiently
low, but not in the regime with high averaged acceleration and short
oscillatory cycle. While the averaged radiated energy flux over a cycle is
always positive as guaranteed by the quantum inequalities, an observer at a
fixed angle may see short periods of negative radiated energy flux in each
cycle of motion, which indicates that the radiation is squeezed. This reveals
another resemblance between the detector theory and the moving-mirror model.

It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative
$\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupled
open string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theory
is fully decoupled from closed strings. Evidence for this conjecture is given
by the absence of physical closed string poles in the non-planar one-loop open
string diagram. The open string theory can be viewed as living in a geometry in
which space and time coordinates do not commute.

The central charge $C_T$ is computed for scalar and Dirac fields propagating
according to GJMS-type kinetic operators acting on odd $d$-dimensional spheres
in the presence of a spherical monodromy. The relation of $C_T$ to the
derivatives of the free energy on the conically deformed sphere via the
Perlmutter factor leads to a numerical quadrature. The variation of $C_T$ with
the monodromy flux, $\delta$, displays sign changes, exactly as in even
dimensions. Closed forms for $C_T$ are derived when $\delta$ equals 0 or 1/2
with the derivative order either even or odd and shown to agree with existing,
even $d$ expressions. The infinite $d$ limits are also derived in these special
cases.

In this report we show that neutrino mixing is intrinsically contained in
Connes' noncommutative spectral geometry construction, thanks to the
introduction of the doubling of algebra, which is connected to the Bogoliubov
transformation. It is known indeed that these transformations are responsible
for the mixing, turning the mass vacuum state into the flavor vacuum state, in
such a way that mass and flavor vacuum states are not unitary equivalent. There
is thus a red thread that binds the doubling of algebra of Connes' model to the
neutrino mixing.

The phase structure of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with N-component fermions in
curved space-time is studied in the leading order of the 1/N expansion.
The effective potential for composite operator $\bar{\psi}\psi$ is calculated
by using the normal coordinate expansion in the Schwinger proper-time method.
The existence of the first-order phase transition caused by the change of the
space-time curvature is confirmed and the dynamical mass of the fermion is
calculated as a simultaneous function of the curvature and the four-fermion
coupling constant.
The phase diagram in the curvature and the coupling constant is obtained.

We propose a superfield method to construct off-shell actions for N-extended
conformal supergravity theories in three space-time dimensions. It makes use of
the superform technique to engineer supersymmetric invariants. The method is
specifically applied to the case of N=1 conformal supergravity and provides a
new realization for the actions of conformal and topologically massive
supergravities.

Anisotropic flow and the valence quark skeleton of hadrons

We study transverse momentum anisotropies, in particular, the elliptic flow
$v_2$ due to the interference effect sourced by valence quarks in high-energy
hadron-hadron collisions. Our main formula is derived as the high-energy
(eikonal) limit of the impact-parameter dependent cross section in quantum
field theory, which agrees with that in terms of the impact parameter in the
classical picture. As a quantitative assessment of the interference effect, we
calculate $v_2$ in the azimuthal distribution of gluons at a comprehensive
coverage of the impact parameter and the transverse momentum in high-energy
pion-pion collisions. In a broad range of the impact parameter, a sizable
amount of $v_2$, comparable with that produced due to saturated dense gluons or
final-state interactions, is found to develop. In our calculations, the valence
sector of the pion wave function is obtained numerically from the Basis
Light-Front Quantization, a non-perturbative light-front Hamiltonian approach.
And our formalism is generic and can be applied to other small collision
systems like proton-proton collisions.

We construct a model with long-lived metastable vacua in which all the
relevant parameters, including the supersymmetry breaking scale, are generated
dynamically by dimensional transmutation. The metastable vacua appear along a
pseudo-runaway direction near a point of enhanced symmetry as a result of a
balance between non-perturbative and perturbative quantum effects. We show that
metastable supersymmetry breaking is a rather generic feature near certain
enhanced symmetry points of gauge theory moduli spaces.

We consider a $CP^N$ model with the subgroup $SU(r)$ completely gauged, where
$1 < r < N+1$. The gauge field dynamics is solely governed by a nonabelian
Chern-Simons term and the global $SU(N+1)$ symmetry is broken explicitly by
introducing a $SU(r)$ invariant scalar potential. We obtain self-dual equations
of this gauged $CP^N$ model and find that the energy is bounded from below by a
linear combination of the topological charge and a global $U(1)$ charge present
in the theory. We also discuss on the self-dual soliton solutions of this
model.

We obtain classical solutions of $\l$-deformed $\s$-models based on
$SL(2,\mathbb{R})/U(1)$ and $SU(2)/U(1)$ coset manifolds. Using two different
sets of coordinates, we derive two distinct classes of solutions. The first
class is expressed in terms of hyperbolic and trigonometric functions, whereas
the second one in terms of elliptic functions. We analyze their properties
along with the boundary conditions and discuss string systems that they
describe. It turns out that there is an apparent similarity between the
solutions of the second class and the motion of a pendulum.

classical limit or equivalently Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit using the
beta-deformed irregular matrix model (Penner-type matrix model for the

We study the scattering of a massless and neutral test particle in the
gravitational field of a body (the string star) made of a large number of
scalar states of the superstring. We consider two cases, the one in which these
states are neutral string excitations massive already in ten dimensions and the
one in which their masses (and charges) originate in the process of
compactification on tori. A perturbative calculation based on superstring
amplitudes gives us the deflection angle up to the second order in Newton's
constant. A comparison with field theory explicitly shows which among the
various massless fields of the superstring give a contribution to the
scattering process. In both cases, the deflection angle is smaller than the one
computed in general relativity. The perturbative series can be resummed by
finding the exact solution to the classical equations of motion of the
corresponding low-energy action. The space-time metric of our two examples of
string stars has no horizon.

In this note we summarize some of the properties found in [1], and its
relation with [2]. We comment on the construction of the action of the 11D
supermembrane with nontrivial central charges minimally immersed on a 7D
toroidal manifold is obtained (MIM2).The transverse coordinates to the
supermembrane are maps to a 4D Minkowski space-time. The action is invariant
under additional symmetries in comparison to the supermembrane on a 11D
Minkowski target space. The hamiltonian in the LCG is invariant under conformal
transformations on the Riemann surface base manifold. The spectrum of the
regularized hamiltonian is discrete with finite multiplicity. Its resolvent is
compact. Susy is spontaneously broken, due to the topological central charge
condition, to four supersymmetries in 4D, the vacuum belongs to an N=1
supermultiplet. When assuming the target-space to be an isotropic 7-tori, the
potential does not contain any flat direction, it is stable on the moduli space
of parameters. Moreover due to the discrete symmetries of the hamiltonian,
there are only 7 possible minimal holomorphic immersions of the MIM2 on the
7-torus. When these symmetries are identified on the target space, it
corresponds to compactify the MIM2 on a orbifold with G2 structure. Once the
singularities are resolved it leads to the compactification of the MIM2 on a G2
manifold as shown in [2].

We propose a trick which enables one to incorporate the Gribov horizon into
the Schwinger-Dyson equation in Landau and Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory,
using the Gribov-Zwanziger framework with the horizon term. We find a family of
solutions parameterized by one-parameter $w_R(0)$ which was overlooked so far
by assuming to be zero implicitly. The family includes both the scaling and
decoupling solutions, and specification of the parameter discriminates between
them. In the Landau gauge we discuss a possible decoupling solution satisfying
the Kugo-Ojima criterion for color confinement.

In this second paper we complete the classical description of an isolated
system of "charged positive-energy particles, with Grassmann-valued electric
charges and mutual Coulomb interaction, plus a transverse electro-magnetic
field" in the rest-frame instant form of dynamics.
In particular we show how to determine a collective variable associated with
the internal 3-center of mass on the instantaneous 3-spaces, to be eliminated
with the constraints ${\vec {\cal K}}_{(int)} \approx 0$. Here ${\vec {\cal
K}}_{(int)}$ is the Lorentz boost generator in the unfaithful internal
realization of the Poincare' group and its vanishing is the gauge fixing to the
rest-frame conditions ${\vec {\cal P}}_{(int)} \approx 0$. We show how to find
this collective variable for the following isolated systems: a) charged
particles with a Coulomb plus Darwin mutual interaction; b) transverse
radiation field; c) charged particles with a mutual Coulomb interaction plus a
transverse electro-magnetic field.
Then we define the Dixon multipolar expansion for the open particle
subsystem. We also define the relativistic electric dipole approximation of
atomic physics in the rest-frame instant form and we find the a possible
relativistic generalization of the electric dipole representation.

We use an extension of the method due to Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina, and
Tyutin (BFFT) for transforming the nonlinear $\sigma$ model in a non-Abelian
gauge theory. We deal with both supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric cases. The
bosonic case was already considered in literature but just gauged with an
Abelian algebra. We show that the supersymmetric version is only compatible
with a non-Abelian gauge theory. The usual BFFT method for this case leads to a
nonlocal algebra.

We derive an equation which gives the tree-level scattering amplitudes for
tachyons in the black hole background using the exact states of the collective
field hamiltonian corresponding to a deformed matrix model recently proposed by
Jevicki and Yoneya. Using directly the symmetry algebra we obtain explicit
expression for a class of amplitudes in the tree approximation. We also study
the quantum effects in the corresponding collective field theory. In
particular, we compute the ground state energy and the free energy at finite
temperature up to two loops, and the first quantum correction to the two-point
function.

In this work, we study the existence of asymptotically Lifshitz black holes
in Critical Gravity in four dimensions with a negative cosmological constant
under two scenarios: First, including dilatonic fields as the matter source,
where we find an asymptotically Lifshitz solution for a fixed value of the
dynamical exponent $z=4$. As a second case, we also added a non-minimally
coupled scalar field $\Phi$ with a potential given by a mass term and a quartic
term. Using this approach, we found a solution for $z$ defined in the interval
$(1,4)$, recovering the Schwarzchild-Anti-de Sitter case with planar base
manifold in the isotropic limit. Moreover, when we analyzed the limiting case
$z=4$, we found that there exists an additional solution that can be
interpreted as a stealth configuration in which the stealth field is overflying
the $z=4$ solution without the non-minimally coupled field $\Phi$. Finally, we
studied the non-trivial thermodynamics of these new anisotropic solutions and
found that they all satisfy the First Law of Thermodynamics as well as the
Smarr relation. We were also able to determine that the non-stealth
configuration is thermodynamically preferred in this case.

We show that the special relativistic dynamics when combined with quantum
mechanics and the concept of superstatistics can be interpreted as arising from
two interlocked non-relativistic stochastic processes that operate at different
energy scales. This interpretation leads to Feynman amplitudes that are in the
Euclidean regime identical to transition probability of a Brownian particle
propagating through a granular space. Some kind of spacetime granularity could
be held responsible for the emergence at larger scales of various symmetries.
For illustration we consider also the dynamics and the propagator of a spinless
relativistic particle. Implications for doubly special relativity, quantum
field theory, quantum gravity and cosmology are discussed.

We study supersymmetric orientifolds where the world-sheet parity
transformation is combined with a conjugation of some compact complex
coordinates. We investigate their T-duality relation to standard orientifolds
and discuss the origin of continuous and discrete moduli. In contrast to
standard orientifolds, the antisymmetric tensor describes a continuous
deformation, while the off-diagonal part of the metric is frozen to quantized
values and is responsible for the rank reduction of the gauge group. We also
give a geometrical interpretation of some recently constructed six-dimensional
permutational orientifolds.

If the universe is trapped and cooled in a metastable false vacuum state,
that state will eventually decay by bubble nucleation and expansion. For
example, many extensions of the standard model incorporate new scalar fields
whose potential has a local minimum at the origin but a global minimum
elsewhere, to which the vacuum will eventually tunnel. I calculate the lifetime
of the false vacuum, and the field profile of the bubble after tunneling, for
any potential that is approximately a polynomial of degree <= 4 near the false
vacuum. Essentially exact results are given for a single field; for multiple
fields the given action is a strict upper bound.

We use the gauge/gravity duality to study a model of walking technicolor. The
latter is a phenomenologically promising framework for dynamical electroweak
symmetry breaking. A traditional problem for technicolor models has been the
need to address gauge theories at strong coupling. Recent developments in
gauge/gravity duality provide a powerful tool for handling this problem. First,
we revisit previously considered holographic models of QCD-like technicolor
from D-branes. In particular, we develop analytical understanding of earlier
numerical computations of the Peskin-Takeuchi S-parameter. Then we apply this
method to the investigation of a model of walking technicolor, obtained by
embedding D7 - anti-D7 probe branes in a recently discovered type IIB
background dual to walking behaviour. As a necessary step, we also show that
there is an embedding of the techniflavor branes, that realizes chiral symmetry
breaking. Finally, we show that the divergences that appear in the S-parameter
can be removed by using holographic renormalization.

A model for observable effects of electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations is
presented. The model involves a probe pulse which traverses a slab of nonlinear
optical material with a nonzero second order polarizability. We argue that the
pulse interacts with the ambient vacuum fluctuations of other modes of the
quantized electric field, and these vacuum fluctuations cause variations in the
flight time of the pulse through the material. The geometry of the slab of
material defines a sampling function for the quantized electric field, which in
turn determines that vacuum modes whose wavelengths are of the order of the
thickness of the slab give the dominant contribution. Some numerical estimates
are made, which indicate that fractional fluctuations in flight time of the
order of $10^{-9}$ are possible in realistic situations. The model presented
here is both an illustration of a physical effect of vacuum fluctuations, and
an analog model for the lightcone fluctuations predicted by quantum gravity.

The production of a Higgs boson in association with a pair of t-tbar quarks
will play a very important role at both hadron and lepton colliders. We review
the status of theoretical predictions and their relevance to Higgs boson
studies, with particular emphasis on the recently calculated NLO QCD
corrections to the inclusive cross section for p-pbar,pp -> t-tbar-h. We
conclude by briefly discussing the case of exclusive b-bbar-h production and
the potential of this process in revealing signals of new physics beyond the
Standard Model.

The beta-deformation is one of the two superconformal deformations of the N=4
super-Yang-Mills theory. At the planar level it shares all of its properties
except for supersymmetry, which is broken to the minimal amount. The tree-level
amplitudes of this theory exhibit new features which depart from the commonly
assumed properties of gauge theories with fields in the adjoint representation.
We analyze in detail complete one-loop amplitudes and a nonplanar two-loop
amplitude of this theory and show that, despite having only N=1 supersymmetry,
two-loop amplitudes have a further-improved ultraviolet behavior. This
phenomenon is a counterpart of a similar improvement previously observed in the
double-trace amplitude of the N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory at three and four
loop order and points to the existence of additional structure in both the
deformed and undeformed theories.

Upon compactification on a circle, SU(N) gauge theory with all fields in the
adjoint representation acquires a $Z_N$ global symmetry because the center of
the gauge group is $Z_N$. For N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we show how this
$Z_N$ "topological symmetry" arises in the context of the AdS/CFT
correspondence, and why the symmetry group is $Z_N$ rather than U(1). This
provides a test of the AdS/CFT correspondence for finite N. If the theory is
formulated on $R^3 \times S^1$ with anti-periodic boundary conditions for
fermions around the $S^1$, the topological symmetry is spontaneously broken; we
show that the domain walls are D-strings, and hence that flux tubes associated
with magnetic confinement can end on the domain walls associated with the
topological symmetry. For the (0,2) $A_{N-1}$ superconformal field theory in
six dimensions, we demonstrate an analogous phenomenon: a $Z_N$ global symmetry
group arises if this theory is compactified on a Riemann surface. In this case,
the domain walls are M-theory membranes.

For the (0,2) $A_{N-1}$ superconformal field theory in six dimensions, we demonstrate an analogous phenomenon: a $Z_N$ global symmetry group arises if this theory is compactified on a Riemann surface. In this case, the domain walls are M-theory membranes.

We investigate the relaxation of holographic superfluids after quenches, when
the end state is either tuned to be exactly at the critical point, or very
close to it. By solving the bulk equations of motion numerically, we
demonstrate that in the former case the system exhibits a power law falloff as
well as an emergent discrete scale invariance. The later case is in the regime
dominated by critical slowing down, and we show that there is an intermediate
time-range before the onset of late time exponential falloff, where the system
behaves similarly to the critical point with its power law falloff. We further
postulate a phenomenological Gross-Pitaevskii-like equation that is able to
make quantitative predictions for the behavior of the holographic superfluid
after near-critical quenches. Intriguingly, all parameters of our
phenomenological equation which describes the non-linear time evolution may be
fixed with information from the static equilibrium solutions and linear
response theory.

We review the systematics of Mandelstam cut contributions to planar
scattering amplitudes in the multi-Regge limit. Isolating the relevant cut
terms, we explain how the BFKL expansion can be used to construct the
perturbative n-point multi-Regge limit amplitude in certain kinematic regions
from a finite number of basic building blocks. At three loops and at leading
logarithmic order, two building blocks are required. Their symbols are
extracted from the known three-loop six-point and seven-point symbols for
general kinematics. The new seven-point building block is constructed in terms
of single-valued multiple polylogarithms to the extent it can be determined
using the symbol as well as further symmetry and consistency constraints.
Beyond the leading logarithmic order, the subleading and sub-subleading terms
require two and one further building block, respectively. The latter could
either be reconstructed from further perturbative data, or from BFKL integrals
involving yet-unknown corrections to the central emission block.

During defect-antidefect scattering, bound modes frequently disappear into
the continuous spectrum before the defects themselves collide. This leads to a
structural, nonperturbative change in the spectrum of small excitations.
Sometimes the effect can be seen as a hard wall from which the defect can
bounce off. We show the existence of these spectral walls and study their
properties in the $\phi^4$ model with BPS preserving impurity, where the
spectral wall phenomenon can be isolated because the static force between the
antikink and the impurity vanishes. We conclude that such spectral walls should
surround all solitons possessing internal modes.

The geometry of 4-string contact interaction of closed string field theory is
characterized using machine learning. We obtain Strebel quadratic differentials
on 4-punctured spheres as a neural network by performing unsupervised learning
with a custom-built loss function. This allows us to solve for local
coordinates and compute their associated mapping radii numerically. We also
train a neural network distinguishing vertex from Feynman region. As a check,
4-tachyon contact term in the tachyon potential is computed and a good
agreement with the results in the literature is observed. We argue that our
algorithm is manifestly independent of number of punctures and scaling it to
characterize the geometry of $n$-string contact interaction is feasible.

In this Thesis we present a comprehensive study of perturbative and
non-perturbative non-Abelian gauge theories in the light of gauge-fixing
procedures, focusing our attention on the BRST formalism in Yang-Mills theory.
We propose first a model to re-write the Faddeev-Popov quantisation method in
terms of group-theoretical techniques and then we give a possible way to solve
the no-go theorem of Neuberger for lattice Yang-Mills theory with double BRST
symmetry. In the final part we present a study of the Batalin-Vilkovisky
quantisation method for non-linear gauges in non-Abelian gauge theories.

We investigate the hypersymmetry bounds on the higher spin black hole
parameters that follow from the asymptotic symmetry superalgebra in higher-spin
anti-de Sitter gravity in three spacetime dimensions. We consider anti-de
Sitter hypergravity for which the analysis is most transparent. This is a
$osp(1\vert 4) \oplus osp(1\vert 4)$ Chern-Simons theory which contains,
besides a spin-$2$ field, a spin-$4$ field and a spin-$5/2$ field. The
asymptotic symmetry superalgebra is then the direct sum of two-copies of the
hypersymmetric extension $W_{(2,\frac52,4)}$ of $W_{(2,4)}$, which contains
fermionic generators of conformal weight $5/2$ and bosonic generators of
conformal weight $4$ in addition to the Virasoro generators. Following standard
methods, we derive bounds on the conserved charges from the anticommutator of
the hypersymmetry generators. The hypersymmetry bounds are nonlinear and are
saturated by the hypersymmetric black holes, which turn out to possess
$1/4$-hypersymmetry and to be "extreme", where extremality can be defined in
terms of the entropy: extreme black holes are those that fulfill the
extremality bounds beyond which the entropy ceases to be a real function of the
black hole parameters. We also extend the analysis to other $sp(4)$-solitonic
solutions which are maximally (hyper)symmetric.

A natural generalization of a Lie algebra connection, or Yang-Mills field, to
the case of a Lie-Kac superalgebra, for example SU(m/n), just in terms of
ordinary complex functions and differentials, is proposed. Using the chirality
$\chi$ which defines the supertrace of the superalgebra: $STr(...) = Tr (\chi
...)$, we construct a covariant differential: $D = \chi (d + A) + \Phi$, where
A is the standard even Lie-subalgebra connection 1-form and $\Phi$ a scalar
field valued in the odd module. Despite the fact that $\Phi$ is a scalar,
$\Phi$ anticommutes with $(\chi A)$ because $\chi$ anticommutes with the odd
generators hidden in $\Phi$. Hence the curvature $F = DD$ is a
superalgebra-valued linear map which respects the Bianchi identity and
correctly defines a chiral parallel transport compatible with a generic Lie
superalgebra structure.

We present the state of the art regarding the relation between the physics of
Quantum Black Holes and Noncommutative Geometry. We start with a review of
models proposed in the literature for describing deformations of General
Relativity in the presence of noncommutativity, seen as an effective theory of
Quantum Gravity. We study the resulting metrics, proposed to replace or at
least to improve the conventional black hole solutions of Einstein's equation.
In particular, we analyze noncommutative-inspired solutions obtained in terms
of quasi-classical noncommutative coordinates: indeed because of their
surprising new features, these solutions enable us to circumvent long standing
problems with Quantum Field Theory in Curved Space and to cure the singular
behavior of gravity at the centers of black holes. As a consequence, for the
first time, we get a complete description of what we may call the black hole
SCRAM, the shut down of the emission of thermal radiation from the black hole:
in place of the conventional scenario of runaway evaporation in the Planck
phase, we find a zero temperature final state, a stable black hole remnant,
whose size and mass are determined uniquely in terms of the noncommutative
parameter $\theta$. This result turns out to be of vital importance for the
physics of the forthcoming experiments at the LHC, where mini black hole
production is foreseen in extreme energy hadron collisions. Because of this, we
devote the final part of this review to higher dimensional solutions and their
phenomenological implications for TeV Gravity.

During the spin-down phase of the life of a higher-dimensional black hole,
the emission of particles on the brane exhibits a strong angular variation with
respect to the rotation axis of the black hole. It has been suggested that this
angular variation is the observable that could disentangle the dependence of
the radiation spectra on the number of extra dimensions and angular momentum of
the black hole. Working in the low-energy regime, we have employed analytical
formulae for the greybody factors, angular eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of
fermions and gauge bosons, and studied the characteristics of the corresponding
angular profiles of emission spectra in terms of only a few dominant partial
modes. We have confirmed that, in the low-energy channel, the emitted gauge
bosons become aligned to the rotation axis of the produced black hole while
fermions form an angle with the rotation axis whose exact value depends on the
angular-momentum of the black hole. In the case of scalar fields, we
demonstrated the existence of a "spherically-symmetric zone" that is followed
by the concentration of the emission on the equatorial plane, again in total
agreement with the exact numerical results.

We have confirmed that, in the low-energy channel, the emitted gauge bosons become aligned to the rotation axis of the produced black hole while fermions form an angle with the rotation axis whose exact value depends on the angular-momentum of the black hole. In the case of scalar fields, we demonstrated the existence of a "spherically-symmetric zone" that is followed by the concentration of the emission on the equatorial plane, again in total agreement with the exact numerical results.

We examine the ultraviolet behaviour of supergravity theories as a function
of dimension and number of supercharges. We do so by the computation of one and
two-loop physical on-shell four point amplitudes. For maximal supergravity, our
computations prove the non-renomalisability of supergravity for $D \geq 6$
(including the maximal D=11 case) and give strong evidence for the existance of
a five-loop counterterm in D=4. For type I supergravity our results indicate
similar patterns. e shall also explore a remarkable relationship between
gravity amplitudes and those of Yang-Mills theories. In many ways gravity
calculations discover features which relate to the equivalent Yang-Mills
features by a squaring proceedure.

We consider $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theories in $(2n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean
spacetime, where $N\geq n+1$, coupled to an even flavour number of Dirac
fermions. After integration over the fermionic degrees of freedom the wave
functional for the gauge field inherits a non-trivial $U(1)$-connection which
we compute in the limit of infinite fermion mass. Its Chern-class turns out to
be just half the flavour number so that the wave functional now becomes a
section in a non-trivial complex line bundle. The topological origin of this
phenomenon is explained in both the Lagrangean and the Hamiltonian picture.

The aim of this paper is to report on the existence of a wide variety of
exact solutions, ranging from black holes to wormholes, when a conformally
coupled scalar field with a self interacting potential containing a linear, a
cubic and a quartic self interaction is taken as a source of the
energy-momentum tensor, in the Einstein theory with a cosmological constant.
Among all the solutions there are two particularly interesting. On the one
hand, the spherically symmetric black holes when the cosmological constant is
positive; they are shown to be everywhere regular, namely there is no
singularity neither inside nor outside the event horizon. On the other hand,
there are spherically symmetric and topological wormholes that connect two
asymptotically (anti) de Sitter regions with a different value for the
cosmological constant. The regular black holes and the wormholes are supported
by everywhere regular scalar field configurations.

There are two parts to this work:
First, we study the error correction properties of the real-space
renormalization group (RG). The long-distance operators are the (approximately)
correctable operators encoded in the physical algebra of short-distance
operators. This is closely related to modeling the holographic map as a quantum
error correction code. As opposed to holography, the real-space RG of a
many-body quantum system does not have the complementary recovery property. We
discuss the role of large $N$ and a large gap in the spectrum of operators in
the emergence of complementary recovery.
Second, we study the operator algebra exact quantum error correction for any
von Neumann algebra. We show that similar to the finite dimensional case, for
any error map in between von Neumann algebras the Petz dual of the error map is
a recovery map if the inclusion of the correctable subalgebra of operators has
finite index.

Scattering methods make it possible to compute the effects of renormalized
quantum fluctuations on classical field configurations. As a classic example of
a topologically nontrivial classical solution, the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen
vortex in U(1) Higgs-gauge theory provides an ideal case in which to apply
these methods. While physically measurable gauge-invariant quantities are
always well-behaved, the topological properties of this solution give rise to
singularities in gauge-variant quantities used in the scattering problem. In
this paper we show how modifications of the standard scattering approach are
necessary to maintain gauge invariance within a tractable calculation. We apply
this technique to the vortex energy calculation in a simplified model, and show
that to obtain accurate results requires an unexpectedly extensive numerical
calculation, beyond what has been used in previous work.

Electromagnetic plane waves provide examples of time-dependent open string
backgrounds free of $\alpha'$ corrections. The solvable case of open strings in
a quadrupolar wave front, analogous to pp-waves for closed strings, is
discussed. In light-cone gauge, it leads to non-conformal boundary conditions
similar to those induced by tachyon condensates. A maximum electric gradient is
found, at which macroscopic strings with vanishing tension are pair-produced --
a non-relativistic analogue of the Born-Infeld critical electric field. Kinetic
instabilities of quadrupolar electric fields are cured by standard atomic
physics techniques, and do not interfere with the former dynamic instability. A
new example of non-conformal open-closed duality is found. Propagation of open
strings in time-dependent wave fronts is discussed.

We study the minimal gauged U(1)_{B-L} supersymmetric model and show that it
provides an attractive theory for spontaneous R-parity violation. Both
U(1)_{B-L} and R-parity are broken by the vacuum expectation value of the
right-handed sneutrino (proportional to the soft SUSY masses), thereby linking
the B-L and soft SUSY scales. In this context we find a consistent mechanism
for generating neutrino masses and a realistic mass spectrum, all without
extending the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetry standard model. We
discuss the most relevant collider signals and the connection between the Z'
gauge boson and R-parity violation.

A distance conjecture beyond moduli?

The distance conjecture states that for theories with moduli coupled to
gravity a tower of states becomes light exponentially in the geodesic distance
in moduli space. This specifies how effective field theories break down for
large field values. However, phenomenological field theories have no moduli,
but a scalar potential that deforms dynamical trajectories away from geodesic
curves. In this note we speculate on how one should generalise the distance
conjecture to include a scalar potential. We test the generalised distance
conjecture in a few cases, demonstrate a link with pseudo-/fake supersymmetry
and apply it to the ekpyrotic scenario in cosmology. For the latter we observe
that the pre-uplift KKLT potential could provide a stringy embedding of
ekpyrosis away from the asymptotic regimes in field space.

We study the form factor of a generic gauge-invariant local composite
operator in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. At tree level and for a minimal number
of external on-shell super fields, we find that the form factor precisely
yields the spin-chain picture of integrability in the language of scattering
amplitudes. Moreover, we compute the cut-constructible part of the one-loop
correction to this minimal form factor via generalised unitarity. From its UV
divergence, we obtain the complete one-loop dilatation operator of
$\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. Thus, we provide a field-theoretic derivation of a
relation between the one-loop dilatation operator and the four-point tree-level
amplitude which was observed earlier. We also comment on the implications of
our findings in the context of integrability.
