#### String-motivated one-loop amplitudes in gauge theories with half-maximal supersymmetry

We compute one-loop amplitudes in six-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with half-maximal supersymmetry from first principles: imposing gauge invariance and locality on an ansatz made from string-theory inspired kinematic building blocks yields unique expressions for the 3- and 4-point amplitudes. We check that the results are reproduced in the field-theory limit α ′ → 0 of string ...

#### Chern-Simons matter theories and higher spin gravity

We compute the parity violating three point amplitudes with one scalar leg in higher spin gravity and compare results with those of Chern-Simons matter theories. The three-point correlators of the free boson, free fermion, critical vector model and Gross-Neveu model are reproduced including the dependence on the Chern-Simons coupling. We also perform a simple test of the modified ...

#### Studies of Zγ production in association with a high-mass dijet system in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

The production of a Z boson and a photon in association with a high-mass dijet system is studied using 20.2 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. Final states with a photon and a Z boson decaying into a pair of either electrons, muons, or neutrinos are analysed. ...

#### Leading order anomalous dimensions at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point from CFT

In this paper we consider ϕ 4 theory in 4 − ϵ dimensions at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point where the theory becomes conformal. We extend the method in [1] for calculating the leading order term in the anomalous dimensions of some operators with spin. This method involves mostly symmetry arguments and reduces the process for calculating anomalous dimensions to some Wick contractions ...

#### Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as higher Chern-Simons theory

We observe that the string field theory actions for the topological sigma models describe higher or categorified Chern-Simons theories. These theories yield dynamical equations for connective structures on higher principal bundles. As a special case, we consider holomorphic higher Chern-Simons theory on the ambitwistor space of four-dimensional space-time. In particular, we propose ...

#### Dual little strings from F-theory and flop transitions

A particular two-parameter class of little string theories can be described by M parallel M5-branes probing a transverse affine A N − 1 singularity. We previously discussed the duality between the theories labelled by (N, M) and (M, N). In this work, we propose that these two are in fact only part of a larger web of dual theories. We provide evidence that the theories labelled by ...

#### ADHM construction of (anti-)self-dual instantons in 4n dimensions

The ADHM construction is a very strong scheme to construct the instantons in four dimensions. We study an ADHM construction of instantons in 4n (n ≥ 2) dimensions by generalizing this scheme. The higher-dimensional ADHM construction generates the 4n-dimensional (anti-)self-dual instantons which satisfy the (anti-)self-dual equation in 4n dimensions: F (n) = ± ∗4n F (n). Here F (n) ...

#### Minimal conformal extensions of the Higgs sector

In this work we find the minimal extension of the Standard Model’s Higgs sector which can lead to a light Higgs boson via radiative symmetry breaking and is consistent with the phenomenological requirements for a low-energy realization of a conformal theory. The model which turns out to be stable under renormalization group translations is an extension of the Standard Model by two ...

#### Predictive Pati-Salam theory of fermion masses and mixing

We propose a Pati-Salam extension of the standard model incorporating a flavor symmetry based on the Δ (27) group. The theory realizes a realistic Froggatt-Nielsen picture of quark mixing and a predictive pattern of neutrino oscillations. We find that, for normal neutrino mass ordering, the atmospheric angle must lie in the higher octant, CP must be violated in oscillations, and ...

#### Entanglement in Lifshitz-type quantum field theories

We study different aspects of quantum entanglement and its measures, including entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a certain Lifshitz free scalar theory. We present simple intuitive arguments based on “non-local” effects of this theory that the scaling of entanglement entropy depends on the dynamical exponent as a characteristic parameter of the theory. The scaling is such ...

#### Involutive representations of coordinate algebras and quantum spaces

We show that $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2)$ Lie algebras of coordinate operators related to quantum spaces with $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(2)$ noncommutativity can be conveniently represented by SO(3)-covariant poly-differential involutive representations. We show that the quantized plane waves ob-tained from the quantization map action on the usual exponential functions are ...

#### From 4d ambitwistor strings to on shell diagrams and back

We investigate the relation between 4d ambitwistor string theory and on-shell diagrams for planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills and $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity, and deduce several new results about their scattering amplitudes at tree-level and 1-loop. In particular, we derive new Grassmannian integral formulae for tree-level amplitudes and obtain new world-sheet ...

#### Spectral sum rules for conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions

We derive spectral sum rules in the shear channel for conformal field theories at finite temperature in general d ≥ 3 dimensions. The sum rules result from the OPE of the stress tensor at high frequency as well as the hydrodynamic behaviour of the theory at low frequencies. The sum rule states that a weighted integral of the spectral density over frequencies is proportional to the ...

#### DC conductivities with momentum dissipation in Horndeski theories

In this paper, we consider two four-dimensional Horndeski-type gravity theories with scalar fields that give rise to solutions with momentum dissipation in the dual boundary theories. Firstly, we study Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Horndeski axion term and two additional free axions which are responsible for momentum dissipation. We construct static electrically charged AdS planar ...

#### Influence of inhomogeneities on holographic mutual information and butterfly effect

We study the effect of inhomogeneity, which is induced by the graviton mass in massive gravity, on the mutual information and the chaotic behavior of a 2+1-dimensional field theory from the gauge/gravity duality. When the system is near-homogeneous, the mutual information increases as the graviton mass grows. However, when the system is far from homogeneity, the mutual information ...

#### Antinucleon-nucleon interaction at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory

Results for the antinucleon-nucleon $\left(\overline{N}\;N\right)$ interaction obtained at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory (EFT) are reported. A new local regularization scheme is used for the pion-exchange contributions that has been recently suggested and applied in a pertinent study of the N N force within chiral EFT. Furthermore, an ...

#### Cornering pseudoscalar-mediated dark matter with the LHC and cosmology

Models in which dark matter particles communicate with the visible sector through a pseudoscalar mediator are well-motivated both from a theoretical and from a phenomenological standpoint. With direct detection bounds being typically subleading in such scenarios, the main constraints stem either from collider searches for dark matter, or from indirect detection experiments. ...
