#### Hyperscaling violation, quasinormal modes and shear diffusion

We study quasinormal modes of shear gravitational perturbations for hyperscaling violating Lifshitz theories, with Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating exponents z and θ. The lowest quasinormal mode frequency yields a shear diffusion constant which is in agreement with that obtained in previous work by other methods. In particular for theories with z < d i + 2 − θ where d i is the ...

#### Classification of compactified su(N c ) gauge theories with fermions in all representations

We classify su(N c ) gauge theories on ${\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}^3\times {\mathbb{S}}^1$ with massless fermions in higher representations obeying periodic boundary conditions along ${\mathbb{S}}^1$. In particular, we single out the class of theories that is asymptotically free and weakly coupled in the infrared, and therefore, is amenable to semi-classical treatment. Our study ...

#### The toric SO(10) F-theory landscape

Supergravity theories in more than four dimensions with grand unified gauge symmetries are an important intermediate step towards the ultraviolet completion of the Standard Model in string theory. Using toric geometry, we classify and analyze six-dimensional F-theory vacua with gauge group SO(10) taking into account Mordell-Weil U(1) and discrete gauge factors. We determine the ...

#### Expansion of all multitrace tree level EYM amplitudes

In this paper, we investigate the expansion of tree level multitrace Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) amplitudes. First, we propose two types of recursive expansions of tree level EYM amplitudes with an arbitrary number of gluons, gravitons and traces by those amplitudes with fewer traces or/and gravitons. Then we give many support evidence, including proofs using the Cachazo-He-Yuan ...

#### MSSM-inspired multifield inflation

Despite the fact that experimentally with a high degree of statistical significance only a single Standard Model-like Higgs boson is discovered at the LHC, extended Higgs sectors with multiple scalar fields not excluded by combined fits of the data are more preferable theoretically for internally consistent realistic models of particle physics. We analyze the inflationary scenarios ...

#### Implications of the complex singlet field for noncommutative geometry model

We consider a complex singlet scalar in the spectral action approach to the standard model. It is shown that there is a range of initial values at the unification scale which is able to produce Higgs and top quark masses at low energies. The stability of the vacuum and the deviation of gauge couplings from experimental values are discussed and compared at the two-loop level with a ...

#### Janus solutions in six-dimensional gauged supergravity

Motivated by an analysis of the sub-superalgebras of the five-dimensional superconformal algebra F (4), we search for the holographic duals to co-dimension one superconformal defects in 5d CFTs which have SO(4, 2) ⊕ U(1) bosonic symmetry. In particular, we look for domain wall solutions to six-dimensional F (4) gauged supergravity coupled to a single vector multiplet. It is found ...

#### Quaternion-Kähler $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 supersymmetric mechanics

Using the $\mathcal{N}$ = 4, 1D harmonic superspace approach, we construct a new type of $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 supersymmetric mechanics involving 4n-dimensional Quaternion-Kähler (QK) 1D sigma models as the bosonic core. The basic ingredients of our construction are local $\mathcal{N}$ = 4,1D supersymmetry realized by the appropriate transformations in 1D harmonic ...

#### Neutrino mixing and leptonic CP violation from S 4 flavour and generalised CP symmetries

We consider a class of models of neutrino mixing with S 4 lepton flavour symmetry combined with a generalised CP symmetry, which are broken to residual Z 2 and Z 2 × H CP ν symmetries in the charged lepton and neutrino sectors, respectively, H CP ν being a remnant CP symmetry of the neutrino Majorana mass term. In this set-up the neutrino mixing angles and CP violation (CPV) phases ...

#### The decay constants f D and ${f}_{D_s}$ in the continuum limit of N f = 2 + 1 domain wall lattice QCD

We present results for the decay constants of the D and D s mesons computed in lattice QCD with N f = 2 + 1 dynamical flavours. The simulations are based on RBC/UKQCD’s domain wall ensembles with both physical and unphysical light-quark masses and lattice spacings in the range 0.11-0.07 fm. We employ the domain wall discretisation for all valence quarks. The results in the ...

#### Relativistic corrections to light-cone distribution amplitudes of S-wave B c mesons and heavy quarkonia

In collinear factorization, light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are key ingredients to calculate the production rate of a hadron in high energy exclusive processes. For a doubly-heavy meson system (such as B c , J/ψ, Y etc), the LCDAs contain perturbative scales that can be integrated out and then are re-factorized into products of perturbatively calculable distribution ...

#### Charming dark matter

We have considered a model of Dark Minimal Flavour Violation (DMFV), in which a triplet of dark matter particles couple to right-handed up-type quarks via a heavy colour-charged scalar mediator. By studying a large spectrum of possible constraints, and assessing the entire parameter space using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), we can place strong restrictions on the allowed ...

#### Conformal bootstrap in the Regge limit

We analytically solve the conformal bootstrap equations in the Regge limit for large N conformal field theories. For theories with a parametrically large gap, the amplitude is dominated by spin-2 exchanges and we show how the crossing equations naturally lead to the construction of AdS exchange Witten diagrams. We also show how this is encoded in the anomalous dimensions of ...

#### On supersymmetric AdS6 solutions in 10 and 11 dimensions

We prove a non-existence theorem for smooth, supersymmetric, warped AdS 6 solutions with connected, compact without boundary internal space in D = 11 and (massive) IIA supergravities. In IIB supergravity we show that if such AdS 6 solutions exist, then the NSNS and RR 3-form fluxes must be linearly independent and certain spinor bilinears must be appropriately restricted. Moreover ...

#### Complex three-form supergravity and membranes

There exist two variants of the old minimal formulation for $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 supergravity in four dimensions, in which one or each of the two auxiliary scalars is replaced by the field strength of a gauge three-form. These theories are known as three-form supergravity and complex three-form supergravity, respectively. For each of them, we present a super-Weyl invariant ...

#### M5-brane and D-brane scattering amplitudes

We present tree-level n-particle on-shell scattering amplitudes of various brane theories with 16 conserved supercharges. These include the world-volume theory of a probe D3-brane or D5-brane in 10D Minkowski spacetime as well as a probe M5-brane in 11D Minkowski spacetime, which describes self interactions of an abelian tensor supermultiplet with 6D (2, 0) supersymmetry. ...

#### Amplitudes, recursion relations and unitarity in the Abelian Higgs model

The Abelian Higgs model forms an essential part of the electroweak standard model: it is the sector containing only Z0 and Higgs bosons. We present a diagram-based proof of the tree-level unitarity of this model inside the unitary gauge, where only physical degrees of freedom occur. We derive combinatorial recursion relations for off-shell amplitudes in the massless approximation, ...

#### Coulomb artifacts and breakdown of perturbative matching in lattice NRQCD

By studying an explicit analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation with the Coulomb potential on the lattice we demonstrate a breakdown of perturbative matching for the description of the Coulomb artifacts in lattice NRQCD, which leads to a large systematic error in the predictions for the heavy quarkonium spectrum. The breakdown is a result of a fine interplay between the ...

#### Distance between configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations

For a given Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm we introduce a distance between two configurations that quantifies the difficulty of transition from one configuration to the other configuration. We argue that the distance takes a universal form for the class of algorithms which generate local moves in the configuration space. We explicitly calculate the distance for the Langevin ...

#### Measurement of CP violation in B 0 → J/ψK S 0 and B 0 → ψ(2S)K S 0 decays

A measurement is presented of decay-time-dependent CP violation in the decays B 0 → J/ψ K S 0 and B 0 → ψ(2S)K S 0 , where the J/ψ is reconstructed from two electrons and the ψ(2S) from two muons. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The CP ...

#### Search for supersymmetry in events with b-tagged jets and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for the supersymmetric partners of the Standard Model bottom and top quarks is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb−1 of pp collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Direct production of pairs of bottom and top squarks (${\overline{b}}_1$ and ${\overline{t}}_1$) is searched for in final states with ...

#### Soft pion theorem, asymptotic symmetry and new memory effect

It is known that soft photon and graviton theorems can be regarded as the Ward-Takahashi identities of asymptotic symmetries. In this paper, we consider soft theorem for pions, i.e., Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with a spontaneously broken axial symmetry. The soft pion theorem is written as the Ward-Takahashi identities of the S-matrix under asymptotic transformations. We ...

#### Renormalization in open quantum field theory. Part I. Scalar field theory

While the notion of open quantum systems is itself old, most of the existing studies deal with quantum mechanical systems rather than quantum field theories. After a brief review of field theoretical/path integral tools currently available to deal with open quantum field theories, we go on to apply these tools to an open version of ϕ 3 + ϕ 4 theory in four spacetime dimensions and ...

#### Chiral global embedding of fibre inflation models

We construct explicit examples of fibre inflation models which are globally embedded in type IIB orientifolds with chiral matter on D7-branes and full closed string moduli stabilisation. The minimal setup involves a Calabi-Yau threefold with h 1,1 = 4 Kähler moduli which features multiple K3 fibrations and a del Pezzo divisor supporting non-perturbative effects. We perform a ...

#### ABJM θ-Bremsstrahlung at four loops and beyond

In ABJ(M) theory a generalized cusp can be constructed out of the 1/6-BPS Wilson line by introducing an angle φ in the spacial contour and/or an angle θ in the internal R-symmetry space. The small angles limits of its anomalous dimension are controlled by corresponding Bremsstrahlung functions. In this note we compute the internal space θ-Bremsstrahlung function to four loops at ...
