#### The cosmology of composite inelastic dark matter

Composite dark matter is a natural setting for implementing inelastic dark matter — the $\mathcal{O}\left( {100\;{\text{keV}}} \right)$ mass splitting arises from spin-spin interactions of constituent fermions. In models where the constituents are charged under an axial U(1) gauge symmetry that also couples to the Standard Model quarks, dark matter scatters inelastically off ...

#### Light hadrons from lattice QCD with light (u, d), strange and charm dynamical quarks

We present results of lattice QCD simulations with mass-degenerate up and down and mass-split strange and charm (N f = 2 + 1 + 1) dynamical quarks using Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist. The tuning of the strange and charm quark masses is performed at two values of the lattice spacing a ≈ 0:078 fm and a ≈ 0:086 fm with lattice sizes ranging from L ≈ 1:9 fm to L ≈ 2:8 ...

#### The non-compact elliptic genus: mock or modular

We analyze various perspectives on the elliptic genus of non-compact supersymmetric coset conformal field theories with central charge larger than three. We calculate the holomorphic part of the elliptic genus via a free field description of the model, and show that it agrees with algebraic expectations. The holomorphic part of the elliptic genus is directly related to an ...

#### The Regge limit for Green functions in conformal field theory

We define a Regge limit for off-shell Green functions in quantum field theory, and study it in the particular case of conformal field theories (CFT). Our limit differs from that defined in [32–35], the latter being only a particular corner of the Regge regime. By studying the limit for free CFTs, we are able to reproduce the Low-Nussinov [39, 40], BFKL [24–26] approach to the ...

#### DWSB in heterotic flux compactifications

We address the construction of non-supersymmetric vacua in heterotic compactifications with intrinsic torsion and background fluxes. In particular, we implement the approach of domain-wall supersymmetry breaking (DWSB) previously developed in the context of type II flux compactifications. This approach is based on considering backgrounds where probe NS5-branes wrapping internal ...

#### D-instanton and polyinstanton effects from type I’ D0-brane loops

We study non-perturbative D(−1)-instanton corrections to quartic gauge and curvature couplings in 8d type IIB orientifolds, in terms of a one-loop computation of BPS D0-branes in T-dual type I’ models. The complete perturbative and non-perturbative results are determined by the BPS multiplicities of perturbative open strings and D0-brane bound states in the 9d type I’ theory. Its ...

#### Constraining proton lifetime in SO(10) with stabilized doublet-triplet splitting

We present a class of realistic unified models based on supersymmetric SO(10) wherein issues related to natural doublet-triplet (DT) splitting are fully resolved. Using a minimal set of low dimensional Higgs fields which includes a single adjoint, we show that the Dimopoulos-Wilzcek mechanism for DT splitting can be made stable in the presence of all higher order operators without ...

#### Running effects on neutrino parameters and ℓ i → ℓ j γ predictions in the triplet-extended MSSM

We investigate the renormalisation group effects induced on neutrino mass and mixing parameters in a triplet-extended minimal supersymmetric standard model where a vector-like pair of hypercharge ±1 triplet superfields is added. We first rederive the one-loop renormalisation group equation for the effective neutrino mass operator and, for the case in which this operator originates ...

#### Axion protection from flavor

The QCD axion fails to solve the strong CP problem unless all explicit PQ violating, Planck-suppressed, dimension n n = 12 with the help of the very same flavor symmetries which generate the hierarchical quark masses and mixings of the SM. This “axion flavor protection” is straightforwardly realized in theories which employ radiative fermion mass generation and grand unification. A ...

#### D3-brane potentials from fluxes in AdS/CFT

We give a comprehensive treatment of the scalar potential for a D3-brane in a warped conifold region of a compactification with stabilized moduli. By studying general ultraviolet perturbations in supergravity, we systematically incorporate ‘compactification effects’ sourced by supersymmetry breaking in the compact space. Significant contributions to the D3-brane potential, ...

#### String theory dualities and supergravity divergences

We demonstrate how duality invariance of the low energy expansion of the four-supergraviton amplitude in type II string theory determines the precise coefficients of multiloop logarithmic ultraviolet divergences of maximal supergravity in various dimensions. This is illustrated by the explicit moduli-dependence of terms of the form ${\partial^{2k}}{\mathcal{R}^4}$, with k ≤ 3, ...

#### The BPS spectrum of monopole operators in ABJM: towards a field theory description of the giant torus.

We study the BPS spectrum of monopole operators in ABJM theory. First we work out the complete spectrum of the chiral ring by using a semiclassical analysis of the field theory compactified on a two sphere. By properly taking into account the full quantization condition of monopole charges, we show that the moduli space of ABJM U(N) × U(N) theory with Chern-Simons level k,−k is a ...

#### Gravity waves and the LHC: towards high-scale inflation with low-energy SUSY

It has been argued that rather generic features of string-inspired inflationary theories with low-energy supersymmetry (SUSY) make it difficult to achieve inflation with a Hubble scale H > m 3/2, where m 3/2 is the gravitino mass in the SUSY-breaking vacuum state. We present a class of string-inspired supergravity realizations of chaotic inflation where a simple, dynamical ...

#### TBA for non-perturbative moduli spaces

Recently, an exact description of instanton corrections to the moduli spaces of 4d N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories compactified on a circle and Calabi-Yau compactifications of Type II superstring theories was found. The equations determining the instanton contributions turn out to have the form of Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz. We explore further this relation and, in particular, ...

#### Non-perturbative vacuum destabilization and D-brane dynamics

We analyze the process of string vacuum destabilization due to instanton induced superpotential couplings which depend linearly on charged fields. These nonperturbative instabilities result in potentials for the D-brane moduli and lead to processes of D-brane recombination, motion and partial moduli stabilization at the non-perturbative vacuum. By using techniques of D-brane ...

#### BPS black holes, the Hesse potential, and the topological string

The Hesse potential is constructed for a class of four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric effective actions with S- and T-duality by performing the relevant Legendre transform by iteration. It is a function of fields that transform under duality according to an arithmetic subgroup of the classical dualities reflecting the monodromies of the underlying string compactification. These ...

#### The phase diagram of Yang-Mills theory with a compact extra dimension

We present a non-perturbative study of the phase diagram of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in a five-dimensional spacetime with a compact extra dimension. The nonrenormalizable theory is regularized on an anisotropic lattice and investigated through numerical simulations in a regime characterized by a hierarchy between the scale of lowenergy physics, the inverse compactification radius, ...

#### Proving the AGT relation for N f = 0, 1, 2 antifundamentals

Using recursive relations satisfied by Nekrasov partition functions and by irregular conformal blocks we prove the AGT correspondence in the case of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superconformal SU(2) quiver gauge theories with N f = 0, 1, 2 antifundamental hypermultiplets.

#### Collective quartics from simple groups

This article classifies Little Higgs models that have collective quartic couplings. There are two classes of collective quartics: Special Cosets and Special Quartics. After taking into account dangerous singlets, the smallest Special Coset models are SU(5)/SO(5) and SU(6)/Sp(6). The smallest Special Quartic model is SU(5)/SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) and has not previously been considered ...

#### Single-inclusive production of large-p T charged particles in hadronic collisions at TeV energies and perturbative QCD predictions

The single inclusive spectrum of charged particles with transverse momenta p T = 3 – 150 GeV/c measured at midrapidity by the CDF experiment in proton-antiproton $\left( {p - \bar{p}} \right)$ collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 1.96{\text{ TeV}}$ is compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations using the most recent parametrizations of the parton ...

#### Phenomenology of event shapes at hadron colliders

We present results for matched distributions of a range of dijet event shapes at hadron colliders, combining next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy in the resummation exponent, next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy in its expansion and next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in a pure α s expansion. This is the first time that such a matching has been carried out for ...

#### Excitations in the deformed D1D5 CFT

We perform some simple computations for the first order deformation of the D1D5 CFT off its orbifold point. It had been shown earlier that under this deformation the vacuum state changes to a squeezed state (with the further action of a supercharge). We now start with states containing one or two initial quanta and write down the corresponding states obtained under the action of ...

#### Deforming the D1D5 CFT away from the orbifold point

The D1D5 brane bound state is believed to have an ‘orbifold point’ in its moduli space which is the analogue of the free Yang Mills theory for the D3 brane bound state. The supergravity geometry generated by D1 and D5 branes is described by a different point in moduli space, and in moving towards this point we have to deform the CFT by a marginal operator: the ‘twist’ which links ...

#### A consistent truncation of IIB supergravity on manifolds admitting a Sasaki-Einstein structure

We present a consistent truncation of IIB supergravity on manifolds admitting a Sasaki-Einstein structure, which keeps the metric and five real scalar fields. This theory can be further truncated to a constrained one-parameter family that depends on only the metric and one scalar, as well as to a theory with a metric and three scalars. The reduced theory admits supersymmetric and ...

#### Exclusive leptoproduction of real photons on a longitudinally polarised hydrogen target

Polarisation asymmetries are measured for the hard exclusive leptoproduction of real photons from a longitudinally polarised hydrogen target. These asymmetries arise from the deeply virtual Compton scattering and Bethe-Heitler processes. From the data are extracted two asymmetries in the azimuthal distribution of produced real photons about the direction of the exchanged virtual ...
