#### Galilean field theories and conformal structure

AbstractWe perform a detailed analysis of Galilean field theories, starting with free theories and then interacting theories. We consider non-relativistic versions of massless scalar and Dirac field theories before we go on to review our previous construction of Galilean Electrodynamics and Galilean Yang-Mills theory. We show that in all these cases, the field theories exhibit...

#### Partially massless fields during inflation

Abstract The representation theory of de Sitter space allows for a category of partially massless particles which have no flat space analog, but could have existed during inflation. We study the couplings of these exotic particles to inflationary perturbations and determine the resulting signatures in cosmological correlators. When inflationary perturbations interact through the...

#### Matter field Kähler metric in heterotic string theory from localisation

AbstractWe propose an analytic method to calculate the matter field Kähler metric in heterotic compactifications on smooth Calabi-Yau three-folds with Abelian internal gauge fields. The matter field Kähler metric determines the normalisations of the $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 chiral superfields, which enter the computation of the physical Yukawa couplings. We first derive the general...

#### Membrane paradigm and RG flows for anomalous holographic theories

AbstractHolographic RG flows can be better understood with the help of radially conserved charges. It was shown by various authors that the bulk gauge and diffeomorphism symmetries lead to the conservation of the zero mode of the holographic U(1) current and, if the spacetime is stationary, to that of the holographic heat current. In describing dual theories with ’t Hooft...

#### New form of the exact NSVZ β-function: the three-loop verification for terms containing Yukawa couplings

AbstractWe investigate a recently proposed new form of the exact NSVZ β-function, which relates the β-function to the anomalous dimensions of the quantum gauge superfield, of the Faddeev-Popov ghosts, and of the chiral matter superfields. Namely, for the general renormalizable $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives, the sum...

#### Nilpotent $\mathcal{N}=1$ tensor multiplet

AbstractWe propose a nilpotent $\mathcal{N}=1$ tensor multiplet describing two fields, which are the Goldstino and the axion, the latter being realised in terms of the field strength of a gauge two-form. This supersymmetric multiplet is formulated in terms of a deformed real linear superfield, subject to a cubic nilpotency condition. Its couplings to a super Yang-Mills...

#### Anomalous Z′ and diboson resonances at the LHC

AbstractWe propose novel collider searches which can significantly improve the LHC reach to new gauge bosons Z′ with mixed anomalies with the electroweak (EW) gauge group. Such a Z′ necessarily acquires a Chern-Simons coupling to the EW gauge bosons and these couplings can drive both exotic Z decays into Z′γ if the new gauge boson is sufficiently light, as well as Z′ decays into...

#### Studying superconformal symmetry enhancement through indices

Abstract In this note we classify the necessary and the sufficient conditions that an index of a superconformal theory in 3 ≤ d ≤ 6 must obey for the theory to have enhanced supersymmetry. We do that by noting that the index distinguishes a superconformal multiplet contribution to the index only up to a certain equivalence class it lies in. We classify the equivalence classes in...

#### Branes and the Kraft-Procesi transition: classical case

Abstract Moduli spaces of a large set of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ effective gauge theories are known to be closures of nilpotent orbits. This set of theories has recently acquired a special status, due to Namikawa’s theorem. As a consequence of this theorem, closures of nilpotent orbits are the simplest non-trivial moduli spaces that can be found in three dimensional theories with...

#### Combining initial-state resummation with fixed-order calculations of electroweak corrections

AbstractWe present a resummation of those double-logarithmically enhanced electroweak correction that arise in pp colliders because protons are not SU(2) singlets, by solving DGLAP equations in the full Standard Model. We then show how to match these results with those of fixed-order electroweak calculations. At a 100 TeV pp collider, contributions beyond order α are ∼ 10% at...

#### GLSM realizations of maps and intersections of Grassmannians and Pfaffians

Abstract In this paper we give gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) realizations of a number of geometries not previously presented in GLSMs. We begin by describing GLSM realizations of maps including Veronese and Segre embeddings, which can be applied to give GLSMs explicitly describing non-complete intersection constructions such as the intersection of one hypersurface with the...

#### Quantum deformation of planar amplitudes

AbstractIn maximally supersymmetric four-dimensional gauge theories planar on-shell diagrams are closely related to the positive Grassmannian and the cell decomposition of it into the union of so called positroid cells. (This was proven by N. Arkani-Hamed, J. Bourjaily, F. Cachazo, A. Goncharov, A. Postnikov, and J. Trnka.) We establish that volume forms on positroids used to...

#### Collider tests of the Renormalizable Coloron Model

AbstractThe coloron, a massive version of the gluon present in gauge extensions of QCD, has been searched for at the LHC as a dijet or top quark pair resonance. We point out that in the Renormalizable Coloron Model (ReCoM) with a minimal field content to break the gauge symmetry, a color-octet scalar and a singlet scalar are naturally lighter than the coloron because they are...

#### Supertrace formulae for nonlinearly realized supersymmetry

AbstractWe derive the general supertrace formula for a system with N chiral superfields and one nilpotent chiral superfield in global and local supersymmetry. The nilpotent multiplet is realized by taking the scalar-decoupling limit of a chiral superfield breaking supersymmetry spontaneously. As we show, however, the modified formula is not simply related to the scalar-decoupling...
