#### Holography on local fields via Radon transform

Abstract We define Radon transform and its inverse on the two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space over local fields using a novel construction through a quadratic equation over the local field. We show that the holographic bulk reconstruction of quantum fields in this space can be formulated as the inverse Radon transform, generalizing the case over the reals, studied earlier.

#### Leptonic CP violation and proton decay in SUSY SO(10)

Abstract We study the correlation between proton lifetime and leptonic CP violation in a class of renormalizable supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories (GUTs) with 10, 126 and 120 Higgs fields, which provides a unified description of all fermion masses and a possible resolution for the strong CP problem. This specific model is unique in that it can so far be compatible with...

#### Search for a heavy resonance decaying into a Z boson and a Z or W boson in 2ℓ2q final states at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$ TeV

Abstract A search has been performed for heavy resonances decaying to ZZ or ZW in 2ℓ2q final states, with two charged leptons (ℓ = e, μ) produced by the decay of a Z boson, and two quarks produced by the decay of a W or Z boson. The analysis is sensitive to resonances with masses in the range from 400 to 4500 GeV. Two categories are defined based on the merged or resolved...

#### Compactifications of ADE conformal matter on a torus

Abstract In this paper we study compactifications of ADE type conformal matter, N M5 branes probing ADE singularity, on torus with flux for global symmetry. We systematically construct the four dimensional theories by first going to five dimensions and studying interfaces. We claim that certain interfaces can be associated with turning on flux in six dimensions. The interface...

#### Superdensity operators for spacetime quantum mechanics

Abstract We introduce superdensity operators as a tool for analyzing quantum information in spacetime. Superdensity operators encode spacetime correlation functions in an operator framework, and support a natural generalization of Hilbert space techniques and Dirac’s transformation theory as traditionally applied to standard density operators. Superdensity operators can be...

#### An F-theory realization of the chiral MSSM with ℤ2-parity

Abstract Using F-theory we construct 4D $$\mathcal{N}=1$$ SUGRA theories with the Standard Model gauge group, three chiral generations, and matter parity in order to forbid all dimension four baryon and lepton number violating operators. The underlying geometries are derived by constructing smooth genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds using toric tops that have a Jacobian...

#### 4D gauge theories with conformal matter

Abstract One of the hallmarks of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) is that on a partial tensor branch, all known theories resemble quiver gauge theories with links comprised of 6D conformal matter, a generalization of weakly coupled hypermultiplets. In this paper we construct 4D quiverlike gauge theories in which the links are obtained from compactifications of 6D...

#### Field theory actions for ambitwistor string and superstring

Abstract We analyze the free ambitwistor string field theory action for the bosonic string, heterotic string and both GSO sectors of the Type II string. The spectrum contains non-unitary states and provides an interesting consistency test for one-loop ambitwistor string computations.

#### Phase transitions and conductivities of Floquet fluids

Abstract We investigate the phase structure and conductivity of a relativistic fluid in a circulating electric field with a transverse magnetic field. This system exhibits behavior similar to other driven systems such as strongly coupled driven CFTs [1] or a simple anharmonic oscillator. We identify distinct regions of fluid behavior as a function of driving frequency, and argue...

#### Weaving the exotic web

Abstract String and M-theory contain a family of branes forming U -duality multiplets. In particular, standard branes with codimension higher than or equal to two, can be explicitly found as supergravity solutions. However, whether domain-wall branes and space-filling branes can be found as supergravity solutions is still unclear. In this paper, we firstly provide a full list of...

#### Squashed holography with scalar condensates

Abstract We evaluate the partition function of the free and interacting O(N) vector model on a two-parameter family of squashed three spheres in the presence of a scalar deformation. We also find everywhere regular solutions of Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar field in AdS and in dS with the same double squashed boundary geometry. Remarkably, the thermodynamic properties of...

#### D-type fiber-base duality

Abstract M5 branes probing D-type singularities give rise to 6d (1,0) SCFTs with SO × SO flavor symmetry known as D-type conformal matter theories. Gauging the diagonal SO-flavor symmetry leads to a little string theory with an intrinsic scale which can be engineered in F-theory by compactifying on a doubly-elliptic Calabi-Yau manifold. We derive Seiberg-Witten curves for these...

#### Submatrix deconfinement and small black holes in AdS

Abstract Large N gauged multi-matrix quantum mechanical models usually have a first order Hagedorn transition, related to deconfinement. In this transition the change of the energy and entropy is of order N 2 at the critical temperature. This paper studies the microcanonical ensemble of the model at intermediate energies 1 ≪ E ≪ N 2 in the coexistence region for the first order...

#### Higgs boson pair production in non-linear Effective Field Theory with full mt-dependence at NLO QCD

Abstract We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to Higgs boson pair production within the framework of a non-linearly realised Effective Field Theory in the Higgs sector, described by the electroweak chiral Lagrangian. We analyse how the NLO corrections affect distributions in the Higgs boson pair invariant mass and the transverse momentum of one of the Higgs bosons...

#### S-matrix bootstrap for resonances

Abstract We study the 2 → 2 S-matrix element of a generic, gapped and Lorentz invariant QFT in d = 1 + 1 space time dimensions. We derive an analytical bound on the coupling of the asymptotic states to unstable particles (a.k.a. resonances) and its physical implications. This is achieved by exploiting the connection between the S-matrix phase-shift and the roots of the S-matrix...

#### Higher melonic theories

Abstract We classify a large set of melonic theories with arbitrary q-fold interactions, demonstrating that the interaction vertices exhibit a range of symmetries, always of the form ℤ 2 n for some n, which may be 0. The number of different theories proliferates quickly as q increases above 8 and is related to the problem of counting one-factorizations of complete graphs. The...

#### Black holes, complexity and quantum chaos

Abstract We study aspects of black holes and quantum chaos through the behavior of computational costs, which are distance notions in the manifold of unitaries of the theory. To this end, we enlarge Nielsen geometric approach to quantum computation and provide metrics for finite temperature/energy scenarios and CFT’s. From the framework, it is clear that costs can grow in two...

#### Leading low-energy effective action in 6D, $$\mathcal{N}=\left(1,1\right)$$ SYM theory

Abstract We elaborate on the low-energy effective action of 6D, $$\mathcal{N}=\left(1,1\right)$$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the $$\mathcal{N}=\left(1,0\right)$$ harmonic superspace formulation. The theory is described in terms of analytic $$\mathcal{N}=\left(1,0\right)$$ gauge superfield V ++ and analytic ω-hypermultiplet, both in the adjoint representation...

#### Logarithmic accuracy of parton showers: a fixed-order study

Abstract We formulate some first fundamental elements of an approach for assessing the logarithmic accuracy of parton-shower algorithms based on two broad criteria: their ability to reproduce the singularity structure of multi-parton matrix elements, and their ability to reproduce logarithmic resummation results. We illustrate our approach by considering properties of two...

#### Mu-tau reflection symmetry with a high scale texture-zero

Abstract The μτ -reflection symmetric neutrino mass matrix can accommodate all known neutrino mixing angles, with maximal atmospheric angle fixed, and predicts all the unknown CP phases of the lepton sector but is unable to predict the absolute neutrino mass scale. Here we present a highly predictive scenario where μτ -reflection is combined with a discrete abelian symmetry to...

#### Understanding the degeneracies in NOνA data

Abstract The combined analysis of νμ disappearance and νe appearance data of NOνA experiment leads to three nearly degenerate solutions. This degeneracy can be understood in terms of deviations in νe appearance signal, caused by unknown effects, with respect to the signal expected for a reference set of oscillations parameters. We define the reference set to be vacuum...

#### Measurement of the charge asymmetry for the KS → πeν decay and test of CPT symmetry with the KLOE detector

Abstract Using 1.63 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected by the KLOE experiment about 7 × 104 KS → π±e∓ν decays have been reconstructed. The measured value of the charge asymmetry for this decay is AS = (−4.9 ± 5.7stat ± 2.6syst) × 10−3, which is almost twice more precise than the previous KLOE result. The combination of these two measurements gives AS = (−3.8 ± 5.0stat ± 2...

#### On ’t Hooft defects, monopole bubbling and supersymmetric quantum mechanics

Abstract We revisit the localization computation of the expectation values of ’t Hooft operators in $$\mathcal{N}$$ = 2* SU(N) theory on ℝ3 × S1. We show that the part of the answer arising from “monopole bubbling” on ℝ3 can be understood as an equivariant integral over a Kronheimer-Nakajima moduli space of instantons on an orbifold of ℂ2. It can also be described as a Witten...

#### Electroweak corrections in the 2HDM for neutral scalar Higgs-boson production through gluon fusion

Abstract We have computed the two-loop, electroweak corrections to the production of a light and a heavy neutral, scalar Higgs-boson through the important gluon fusion process in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model. We provide our results in various renormalization schemes for different scenarios and benchmark points, which will be valuable for experimental studies at the LHC. We...

#### Complexity and action for warped AdS black holes

Abstract The Complexity=Action conjecture is studied for black holes in Warped AdS3 space, realized as solutions of Einstein gravity plus matter. The time dependence of the action of the Wheeler-DeWitt patch is investigated, both for the non-rotating and the rotating case. The asymptotic growth rate is found to be equal to the Hawking temperature times the Bekenstein-Hawking...
