#### Gravitational corrections to Higgs potentials

AbstractUnderstanding the Higgs potential at large field values corresponding to scales in the range above 1010GeV is important for questions of vacuum stability, particularly in the early universe where survival of the Higgs vacuum can be an issue. In this paper we show that the Higgs potential can be derived in away which is independent of the choice of conformal frame for the...

#### Are Khovanov-Rozansky polynomials consistent with evolution in the space of knots?

AbstractR-coloured knot polynomials for m-strand torus knots Torus[m,n] are described by the Rosso-Jones formula, which is an example of evolution in n with Lyapunov exponents, labelled by Young diagrams from R⊗m. This means that they satisfy a finite-difference equation (recursion) of finite degree. For the gauge group SL(N ) only diagrams with no more than N lines can...

#### Correlation functions of warped CFT

Abstract Warped conformal field theory (WCFT) is a two dimensional quantum field theory whose local symmetry algebra consists of a Virasoro algebra and a U(1) Kac-Moody algebra. In this paper, we study correlation functions for primary operators in WCFT. Similar to conformal symmetry, warped conformal symmetry is very constraining. The form of the two and three point functions...

#### Measurement of normalized differential $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ cross sections in the dilepton channel from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

AbstractNormalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production are measured in the dilepton (e+e−, μ+μ−, and μ∓e±) decay channels in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The measurements are performed with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb−1 using the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are measured...

#### Soft photon and two hard jets forward production in proton-nucleus collisions

AbstractWe calculate the cross section for production of a soft photon and two hard jets in the forward rapidity region in proton-nucleus collisions at high energies. The calculation is performed within the hybrid formalism. The hardness of the final particles is defined with respect to the saturation scale of the nucleus. We consider both the correlation limit of small momentum...

#### Meromorphic solutions of recurrence relations and DRA method for multicomponent master integrals

AbstractWe formulate a method to find the meromorphic solutions of higher-order recurrence relations in the form of the sum over poles with coefficients defined recursively. Several explicit examples of the application of this technique are given. The main advantage of the described approach is that the analytical properties of the solutions are very clear (the position of poles...

#### Topological defects in open string field theory

AbstractWe show how conformal field theory topological defects can relate solutions of open string field theory for different boundary conditions. To this end we generalize the results of Graham and Watts to include the action of defects on boundary condition changing fields. Special care is devoted to the general case when nontrivial multiplicities arise upon defect action...

#### The exceptional sigma model

AbstractWe detail the construction of the exceptional sigma model, which describes a string propagating in the “extended spacetime” of exceptional field theory. This is to U-duality as the doubled sigma model is to T-duality. Symmetry specifies the Weylinvariant Lagrangian uniquely and we show how it reduces to the correct 10-dimensional string Lagrangians. We also consider the...

#### Hairy black holes and duality in an extended supergravity model

Abstract We consider a D = 4, $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity with an electromagnetic Fayet-Iliopoulos term. We restrict to the uncharged, single dilaton consistent truncation and point out that the bulk Lagrangian is self-dual under electromagnetic duality. Within this truncation, we construct two families of exact hairy black hole solutions, which are asymptotically...

#### Non Abelian T-duality in Gauged Linear Sigma Models

Abstract Abelian T-duality in Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSM) forms the basis of the physical understanding of Mirror Symmetry as presented by Hori and Vafa. We consider an alternative formulation of Abelian T-duality on GLSM’s as a gauging of a global U(1) symmetry with the addition of appropriate Lagrange multipliers. For GLSMs with Abelian gauge groups and without...

#### Boundaries of amplituhedra and NMHV symbol alphabets at two loops

Abstract In this sequel to [3] we classify the boundaries of amplituhedra relevant for determining the branch points of general two-loop amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory. We explain the connection to on-shell diagrams, which serves as a useful cross-check. We determine the branch points of all two-loop NMHV amplitudes by solving the Landau...

#### Structure of rapidity divergences in multi-parton scattering soft factors

AbstractWe discuss the structure of rapidity divergences that are presented in the soft factors of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization theorems. To provide the discussion on the most general level we consider soft factors for multi-parton scattering. We show that the rapidity divergences are result of the gluon exchanges with the distant transverse plane, and are...

#### Gauged supergravities from M-theory reductions

Abstract In supergravity compactifications, there is in general no clear prescription on how to select a finite-dimensional family of metrics on the internal space, and a family of forms on which to expand the various potentials, such that the lower-dimensional effective theory is supersymmetric. We propose a finite-dimensional family of deformations for regular Sasaki-Einstein...

#### Large Higgs-electron Yukawa coupling in 2HDM

Abstract The present upper bound on κ e , the ratio between the electron Yukawa coupling and its Standard Model value, is of $\mathcal{O}(600)$. We ask what would be the implications in case that κ e is close to this upper bound. The simplest extension that allows for such enhancement is that of two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) without natural flavor conservation. In this...

#### Charged chiral fermions from M5-branes

AbstractWe study M5-branes wrapped on a multi-centred Taub-NUT space. Reducing to String Theory on the S1 fibration leads to D4-branes intersecting with D6-branes. D-braneology shows that there are additional charged chiral fermions from the open strings which stretch between the D4-branes and D6-branes. From the M-theory point of view the appearance of these charged states is...

#### Combination of inclusive and differential $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ charge asymmetry measurements using ATLAS and CMS data at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV

AbstractThis paper presents combinations of inclusive and differential measurements of the charge asymmetry (AC) in top quark pair $\left(\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}\right)$ events with a lepton+jets signature by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, using data from LHC proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The data correspond to integrated...

#### Resurgence and hydrodynamic attractors in Gauss-Bonnet holography

Abstract We study the convergence of the hydrodynamic series in the gravity dual of Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five dimensions with negative cosmological constant via holography. By imposing boost invariance symmetry, we find a solution to the Gauss-Bonnet equation of motion in inverse powers of the proper time, from which we can extract high order corrections to Bjorken flow for...

#### Coulomb branch operators and mirror symmetry in three dimensions

AbstractWe develop new techniques for computing exact correlation functions of a class of local operators, including certain monopole operators, in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ abelian gauge theories that have superconformal infrared limits. These operators are position-dependent linear combinations of Coulomb branch operators. They form a one-dimensional topological...

#### Fayet-Iliopoulos terms in supergravity without gauged R-symmetry

AbstractWe construct a supergravity-Maxwell theory with a novel embedding of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term, leading to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The gauging of the R-symmetry is not required and a gravitino mass is allowed for a generic vacuum. When matter couplings are introduced, an uplift through a positive definite contribution to the scalar potential is obtained. We...

#### Quantum SU(2|1) supersymmetric Calogero-Moser spinning systems

Abstract SU(2|1) supersymmetric multi-particle quantum mechanics with additional semi-dynamical spin degrees of freedom is considered. In particular, we provide an $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetrization of the quantum U(2) spin Calogero-Moser model, with an intrinsic mass parameter coming from the centrally-extended superalgebra $\widehat{su}\left(2\Big|1\right)$. The full...

#### A subleading power operator basis for the scalar quark current

Abstract Factorization theorems play a crucial role in our understanding of the strong interaction. For collider processes they are typically formulated at leading power and much less is known about power corrections in the λ ≪ 1 expansion. Here we present a complete basis of power suppressed operators for a scalar quark current at $\mathcal{O}\left({\lambda}^2\right)$ in the...

#### Open superstring field theory based on the supermoduli space

Abstract We present a new approach to formulating open superstring field theory based on the covering of the supermoduli space of super-Riemann surfaces and explicitly construct a gauge-invariant action in the Neveu-Schwarz sector up to quartic interactions. The cubic interaction takes a form of an integral over an odd modulus of disks with three punctures and the associated...
