#### N = 1 supercurrents of eleven-dimensional supergravity

Abstract Eleven-dimensional supergravity can be formulated in superspaces locally of the form X × Y where X is 4D N = 1 conformal superspace and Y is an arbitrary 7-manifold admitting a G2-structure. The eleven-dimensional 3-form and the stable 3-form on Y define the lowest component of a gauge superfield on X × Y that is chiral as a superfield on X. This chiral field is part of...

#### Leptoquark toolbox for precision collider studies

Abstract We implement scalar and vector leptoquark (LQ) models in the universal FeynRules output (UFO) format assuming the Standard Model fermion content and conservation of baryon and lepton numbers. Scalar LQ implementations include next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections. We report the NLO QCD inclusive cross sections in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, 14 TeV, and 27...

#### 6D fractional quantum Hall effect

Abstract We present a 6D generalization of the fractional quantum Hall effect involving membranes coupled to a three-form potential in the presence of a large background four-form flux. The low energy physics is governed by a bulk 7D topological field theory of abelian three-form potentials with a single derivative Chern-Simons-like action coupled to a 6D anti-chiral theory of...

#### A note on the entropy of rotating BPS AdS7 × S4 black holes

Abstract In this note we show that the entropy of BPS, rotating, electrically charged AdS7 × S4 black holes can be obtained by an extremization principle involving a particular combination of anomaly coefficients of the six-dimensional $$\mathcal{N}=\left(2,0\right)$$ theory. This result extends our previous finding for BPS, rotating AdS5 × S5 black holes.

#### Partition functions on 3d circle bundles and their gravity duals

Abstract The partition function of a three-dimensional $$\mathcal{N}=2$$ theory on the manifold ℳg,p, an S1 bundle of degree p over a closed Riemann surface Σ g , was recently computed via supersymmetric localization. In this paper, we compute these partition functions at large N in a class of quiver gauge theories with holographic M-theory duals. We provide the supergravity...

#### Electroweak gauge boson parton distribution functions

Abstract Transverse and longitudinal electroweak gauge boson parton distribution functions (PDFs) are computed in terms of deep-inelastic scattering structure functions, following the recently developed method to determine the photon PDF. The calculation provides initial conditions at the electroweak scale for PDF evolution to higher energies. Numerical results for the W ± and Z...

#### Ghostbusters in f (R) supergravity

Abstract f (R) supergravity is known to contain a ghost mode associated with higher-derivative terms if it contains R n with n greater than two. We remove the ghost in f (R) supergravity by introducing auxiliary gauge field to absorb the ghost. We dub this method as the ghostbuster mechanism [1]. We show that the mechanism removes the ghost super-multiplet but also terms...

#### Exact correlators on the Wilson loop in $$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM: localization, defect CFT, and integrability

AbstractWe compute a set of correlation functions of operator insertions on the 1/8 BPS Wilson loop in $$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM by employing supersymmetric localization, OPE and the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization. These correlators exhibit a simple determinant structure, are position-independent and form a topological subsector, but depend nontrivially on the ’t Hooft coupling and...

#### An analytic superfield formalism for tree superamplitudes in D=10 and D=11

Abstract Tree amplitudes of 10D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) and 11D supergravity (SUGRA) are collected in multi-particle counterparts of analytic on-shell superfields. These have essentially the same form as their chiral 4D counterparts describing $$\mathcal{N}=4$$ SYM and $$\mathcal{N}=8$$ SUGRA, but with components dependent on a different set of bosonic...

#### The singularity structure of scale-invariant rank-2 Coulomb branches

Abstract We compute the spectrum of scaling dimensions of Coulomb branch operators in 4d rank-2 $$\mathcal{N}=2$$ superconformal field theories. Only a finite rational set of scaling dimensions is allowed. It is determined by using information about the global topology of the locus of metric singularities on the Coulomb branch, the special Kähler geometry near those...

#### Measurement of differential cross sections and W+/W− cross-section ratios for W boson production in association with jets at $$\sqrt{s}=8$$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract This paper presents a measurement of the W boson production cross section and the W +/W − cross-section ratio, both in association with jets, in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=8$$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed in final states containing one electron and missing transverse momentum using data...

#### Towards an explicit model of large field inflation

Abstract The unwinding inflation mechanism is studied in a type IIB flux compactification where all moduli are stabilized using flux, non-perturbative effects, and the leading α′ corrections of the large volume scenario. We consider the backreaction on the geometry due to the presence of anti-D3 branes as well as the backreaction of inflation on the Kähler moduli, and compute the...

#### Casimir squared correction to the standard rotator Hamiltonian for the O(n) sigma-model in the delta-regime

Abstract In a previous paper we found that the isospin susceptibility of the O(n) sigma-model calculated in the standard rotator approximation differs from the next-to-next-to leading order chiral perturbation theory result in terms vanishing like 1/ℓ, for ℓ = L t /L → ∞ and further showed that this deviation could be described by a correction to the rotator spectrum proportional...

#### Higher-order Skyrme hair of black holes

Abstract Higher-order derivative terms are considered as replacement for the Skyrme term in an Einstein-Skyrme-like model in order to pinpoint which properties are necessary for a black hole to possess stable static scalar hair. We find two new models able to support stable black hole hair in the limit of the Skyrme term being turned off. They contain 8 and 12 derivatives...

#### Probing neutrino coupling to a light scalar with coherent neutrino scattering

Abstract Large neutrino event numbers in future experiments measuring coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering allow precision measurements of standard and new physics. We analyze the current and prospective limits of a light scalar particle coupling to neutrinos and quarks, using COHERENT and CONUS as examples. Both lepton number conserving and violating interactions are...

#### Giant graviton interactions and M2-branes ending on multiple M5-branes

AbstractWe study splitting and joining interactions of giant gravitons with angular momenta N 1/2 ≪ J ≪ N in the type IIB string theory on AdS5 × S5 by describing them as instantons in the tiny graviton matrix model introduced by Sheikh-Jabbari. At large J the instanton equation can be mapped to the four-dimensional Laplace equation and the Coulomb potential for m point charges...

#### Higgs boson pair production at NNLO with top quark mass effects

Abstract We consider QCD radiative corrections to Higgs boson pair production through gluon fusion in proton collisions. We combine the exact next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution, which features two-loop virtual amplitudes with the full dependence on the top quark mass M t , with the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections computed in the large-M t approximation. The...

#### Exploring extended scalar sectors with di-Higgs signals: a Higgs EFT perspective

Abstract We consider extended scalar sectors of the Standard Model as ultraviolet complete motivations for studying the effective Higgs self-interaction operators of the Standard Model effective field theory. We investigate all motivated heavy scalar models which generate the dimension-six effective operator, |H|6, at tree level and proceed to identify the full set of tree-level...

#### Probing compressed mass spectra in electroweak supersymmetry with Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction

Abstract The lack of evidence for the production of colored supersymmetric particles at the LHC has increased interest in searches for superpartners of the electroweak SM gauge bosons, namely the neutralinos and charginos. These are challenging due to the weak nature of the production process, and the existing discovery reach has significant gaps in due to the difficulty of...

#### ϵ′/ϵ anomaly and neutron EDM in SU(2) L × SU(2) R × U(1)B−L model with charge symmetry

Abstract The Standard Model prediction for ϵ′/ϵ based on recent lattice QCD results exhibits a tension with the experimental data. We solve this tension through W R + gauge boson exchange in the SU(2) L × SU(2) R × U(1)B−L model with ‘charge symmetry’, whose theoretical motivation is to attribute the chiral structure of the Standard Model to the spontaneous breaking of SU(2) R...

#### Abelian F-theory models with charge-3 and charge-4 matter

Abstract This paper analyzes U(1) F-theory models admitting matter with charges q = 3 and 4. First, we systematically derive a q = 3 construction that generalizes the previous q = 3 examples. We argue that U(1) symmetries can be tuned through a procedure reminiscent of the SU(N ) and Sp(N ) tuning process. For models with q = 3 matter, the components of the generating section...

#### Fermion masses and mixings and dark matter constraints in a model with radiative seesaw mechanism

Abstract We formulate a predictive model of fermion masses and mixings based on a Δ(27) family symmetry. In the quark sector the model leads to the viable mixing inspired texture where the Cabibbo angle comes from the down quark sector and the other angles come from both up and down quark sectors. In the lepton sector the model generates a predictive structure for charged leptons...

#### Seeking fixed points in multiple coupling scalar theories in the ε expansion

AbstractFixed points for scalar theories in 4 − ε, 6 − ε and 3 − ε dimensions are discussed. It is shown how a large range of known fixed points for the four dimensional case can be obtained by using a general framework with two couplings. The original maximal symmetry, O(N), is broken to various subgroups, both discrete and continuous. A similar discussion is applied to the six...

#### SO(32) heterotic line bundle models

Abstract We search for the three-generation standard-like and/or Pati-Salam models from the SO(32) heterotic string theory on smooth, quotient complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds with multiple line bundles, each with structure group U(1). These models are S- and T-dual to intersecting D-brane models in type IIA string theory. We find that the stable line bundles and...

#### Non-planar one-loop Parke-Taylor factors in the CHY approach for quadratic propagators

Abstract In this work we have studied the Kleiss-Kuijf relations for the recently introduced Parke-Taylor factors at one-loop in the CHY approach, that reproduce quadratic Feynman propagators. By doing this, we were able to identify the non-planar one-loop Parke-Taylor factors. In order to check that, in fact, these new factors can describe non-planar amplitudes, we applied them...
