#### Ultraspinning instability of anti-de Sitter black holes

Myers-Perry black holes with a single spin in d > 5 have been shown to be unstable if rotating sufficiently rapidly. We extend the numerical analysis which allowed for that result to the asymptotically AdS case. We determine numerically the stationary perturbations that mark the onset of the instabilities for the modes that preserve the rotational symmetries of the background. The ...

#### Gravity/spin-model correspondence and holographic superfluids

We propose a general correspondence between gravity and spin models, inspired by the well-known IR equivalence between lattice gauge theories and the spin models. This suggests a connection between continuous type Hawking-phase transitions in gravity and the continuous order-disorder transitions in ferromagnets. The black-hole phase corresponds to the ordered and the graviton gas ...

#### Measurement of the W → ℓν and Z/γ * → ℓℓ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 7\;{\text{TeV}}$ with the ATLAS detector

First measurements of the W → ℓν and Z/γ * → ℓℓ (ℓ = e, μ) production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 7\;{\text{TeV}}$ are presented using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The results are based on 2250 W → ℓν and 179 Z/γ * → ℓℓ candidate events selected from a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 320 nb. ...

We study the perturbative quantisation of $\mathcal{N} = 8$ supergravity in a formulation where its E 7(7) symmetry is realised off-shell. Relying on the cancellation of SU(8) current anomalies we show that there are no anomalies for the non-linearly realised E 7(7) either; this result extends to all orders in perturbation theory. As a consequence, the ${\mathfrak{e}_{7(7)}} ... #### Stabilizing all Kähler moduli in type IIB orientifolds We describe a simple and robust mechanism that stabilizes all Kähler moduli in Type IIB orientifold compactifications. This is shown to be possible with just one non-perturbative contribution to the superpotential coming from either a D3-instanton or D7-branes wrapped on an ample divisor. This moduli-stabilization mechanism is similar to and motivated by the one used in the ... #### Pure general gauge mediation for early LHC searches We present benchmark points for Pure General Gauge Mediation (GGM) models specifically optimised for early LHC searches. The pure GGM set-up is as defined in our previous paper arXiv:​0910.​2674: namely we adopt the minimal set-up in which B μ is generated only through gauge interactions, and as a result tan β is a prediction rather than an input. The only input parameters are ... #### Cosmology of the selfaccelerating third order Galileon In this paper we start from the original formulation of the galileon model with the original choice for couplings to gravity. Within this framework we find that there is still a subset of possible Lagrangians that give selfaccelerating solutions with stable spherically symmetric solutions. This is a certain constrained subset of the third order galileon which has not been explored ... #### Cosmological vacuum selection and metastable susy breaking We study gauge mediation in a wide class of O’Raifeartaigh type models where supersymmetry breaking metastable vacuum is created by gravity and/or quantum corrections. We examine their thermal evolution in the early universe and the conditions under which the susy breaking vacuum can be selected. It is demonstrated that thermalization typically makes the metastable supersymmetry ... #### Matrix norms, BPS bounds and marginal stability in \( \mathcal{N} = 8$ supergravity

We study the conditions of marginal stability for two-center extremal black holes in $\mathcal{N}$-extended supergravity in four dimensions, with particular emphasis on the $\mathcal{N} = 8$ case. This is achieved by exploiting triangle inequalities satisfied by matrix norms. Using different norms and relative bounds among them, we establish the existence of marginal ...

#### HQET at order 1/m: III. Decay constants in the quenched approximation

We report on the computation of the Bs meson decay constant in Heavy Quark Effective Theory on the lattice. The next to leading order corrections in the HQET expansion are included non-perturbatively. We estimate higher order contributions to be very small. The results are extrapolated to the continuum limit, the main systematic error affecting the computation is therefore the ...

#### Minimal gaugomaly mediation

Mixed anomaly and gauge mediation (“gaugomaly” mediation) gives a natural solution to the SUSY flavor problem with a conventional LSP dark matter candidate. We present a minimal version of gaugomaly mediation where the messenger masses arise directly from anomaly mediation, automatically generating a messenger scale of order 50 TeV. We also describe a simple relaxation mechanism ...

#### Bigger, better, faster, more at the LHC

Multijet plus missing energy searches provide universal coverage for theories that have new colored particles that decay into a dark matter candidate and jets. These signals appear at the LHC further out on the missing energy tail than two-to-two scattering indicates. The simplicity of the searches at the LHC contrasts sharply with the Tevatron where more elaborate searches are ...

#### Mueller Navelet jets at LHC — complete next-to-leading BFKL calculation

We calculate cross section and azimuthal decorrellation of Mueller Navelet jets at the LHC in the complete next-lo-leading order BFKL framework, i.e. including next-to-leading corrections to the Green’s function as well as next-to-leading corrections to the Mueller Navelet vertices. The obtained results for standard observables proposed for studies of Mueller Navelet jets show that ...

#### Cascade supersymmetry breaking and low-scale gauge mediation

We propose a new class of models with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, the cascade supersymmetry breaking. This class of models is consistent with the gravitino mass as low as O(1) eV without having suppressed gaugino masses, nor the Landau pole problems of the gauge coupling constants of the Standard Model below the scale of the grand unification. In particular, there is no ...

#### Massive gravity: resolving the puzzles

We consider the massless limit of Higgs gravity, where the graviton becomes massive when the scalar fields acquire expectation values. We determine the Vainshtein scale and prove that massive gravity smoothly goes to General Relativity below this scale. We find that the Vainshtein scale depends on the particular action of scalar fields used to give mass to the graviton.

#### Flavour in supersymmetry: horizontal symmetries or wave function renormalisation

We compare theoretical and experimental predictions of two main classes of models addressing fermion mass hierarchies and flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) effects in supersymmetry: Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) U(1) gauged flavour models and Nelson-Strassler/extra dimensional models with hierarchical wave functions for the families. We show that whereas the two lead to identical ...

#### Particle production near an AdS crunch

We numerically study the dual field theory evolution of five-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter solutions of supergravity that develop cosmological singularities. The dual theory is an unstable deformation of the $\mathcal{N} = 4$ gauge theory on $\mathbb{R} \times {S^3}$, and the big crunch singularity in the bulk occurs when a boundary scalar field runs to ...

#### SU(5) D-brane realizations, Yukawa couplings and proton stability

We discuss SU(5) Grand Unified Theories in the context of orientifold compactifications. Specifically, we investigate two and three D-brane stack realizations of the Georgi-Glashow and the flipped SU(5) model and analyze them with respect to their Yukawa couplings. As pointed out in [1] the most economical Georgi-Glashow realization based on two stacks generically suffers from a ...

#### The Yangian origin of the Grassmannian integral

In this paper we analyse formulas which reproduce leading singularities of scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory through a Grassmannian integral. Recently their Yangian invariance has been proved directly by using the explicit expression of the Yangian level-one generators. The specific cyclic structure of the form integrated over the Grassmannian ...

#### Domain walls and metastable vacua in hot “Orientifold Field Theories”

We consider “Orientifold Field Theories”, namely SU(N) gauge theories with Dirac fermions in the two-index representation at high temperature. When N is even these theories exhibit a spontaneously broken Z 2 centre symmetry. We study aspects of the domain wall that interpolates between the two vacua of the theory. In particular we calculate its tension to two-loop order. We compare ...

#### Magnetic charges in the AdS4 superalgebra osp(4|2)

We discuss the issue of how to include magnetic charges in the AdS4 super-algebra osp(4|2). It is shown that the usual way of introducing a pseudoscalar central charge on the right hand side of the basic anticommutator does not work, because this breaks SO(2, 3) covariance. We propose a way out by promoting the magnetic charge to a vector charge, which amounts to enlarge osp(4|2) ...

#### Bounds and decays of new heavy vector-like top partners

We study the phenomenology of new heavy vector-like fermions that couple to the third generation quarks via Yukawa interactions, covering all the allowed representations under the standard model gauge groups. We first review tree and loop level bounds on these states. We then discuss tree level decays and loop-induced decays to photon or gluon plus top. The main decays at tree ...

#### D-brane Wess-Zumino terms and U-duality

We construct gauge-invariant and U-duality covariant expressions for Wess-Zumino terms corresponding to general Dp-branes (0 ≤ p ≤ D − 1) in arbitrary 3 ≤ D ≤ 10 dimensions. A distinguishing feature of these Wess-Zumino terms is that they contain twice as many scalars as the 10 − D compactified dimensions, in line with doubled geometry. We find that for D

#### An AdS/QCD model from tachyon condensation: II

A simple holographic model is presented and analyzed that describes chiral symmetry breaking and the physics of the meson sector in QCD. This is a bottom-up model that incorporates string theory ingredients like tachyon condensation which is expected to be the main manifestation of chiral symmetry breaking in the holographic context. As a model for glue the Kuperstein-Sonnenschein ...

#### Three-body nuclear forces from a matrix model

We compute three-body nuclear forces at short distances by using the nuclear matrix model of holographic QCD proposed in our previous paper with P. Yi. We find that the three-body forces at short distances are repulsive for (a) aligned three neutrons with averaged spins, and (b) aligned proton-proton-neutron/ proton-neutron-neutron. These indicate that in dense states of neutrons ...
