Generic deformation channels for critical Fermi surfaces including the impact of collisions

This paper extends the analysis of critical Fermi surface deformations at an Ising-nematic quantum critical point by employing quantum Boltzmann equations that include collision effects, revealing that while bosonic dynamics do not alter the solutions, the system supports a robust zero-sound mode and an infinite family of discrete higher-order harmonic modes alongside a continuous particle-hole band.

Shear Viscosity and Electrical Conductivity of Rotating Nuclear Medium in Hadron Resonance Gas and Nambu-Jona Lasinio Models

This paper investigates how rotation influences the anisotropic shear viscosity and electrical conductivity of strongly interacting matter by employing kinetic theory within Hadron Resonance Gas and Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models, revealing that rotation suppresses chiral condensates, generates a sizable Hall-like conductivity, and reduces transport coefficients relative to isotropic cases.

Gravitational four-derivative corrections in non-relativistic heterotic supergravity and the SO(8)SO(8) Green-Schwarz mechanism

This paper presents the first explicit construction of four-derivative gravitational corrections in non-relativistic heterotic supergravity by extending the Bergshoeff-de Roo identification, revealing a gravitational SO(8)SO(8) Green-Schwarz mechanism that establishes a systematic framework for incorporating higher-curvature dynamics into these backgrounds.

Geometric realization of stress-tensor deformed field theory

This paper establishes a semiclassical framework demonstrating that stress-tensor deformations of quantum field theories are equivalent to gravitational actions evaluated at metric saddles, thereby creating a bidirectional link between field theory flows and classical gravity that is explicitly verified through the emergence of an induced Newton constant in a deformed free scalar theory.

M2-brane partition functions and HD supergravity from equivariant volumes

This paper establishes a holographic correspondence between M2-brane partition functions and equivariant volumes of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds, rigorously testing the conjecture by deriving a universal Airy function representation for squashed S3S^3 partition functions that incorporates finite NN corrections and higher-derivative supergravity effects, while demonstrating agreement with localization results across various models including ABJM theory and its generalizations.

Phases of Supersymmetric Ground States in AdS4AdS_4

This paper maps the phase diagram of supersymmetric ground states in AdS4×S7AdS_4\times S^7 supergravity, revealing that while pure BPS black holes dominate the superconformal index when R-charges are comparable, two-component configurations consisting of a black hole core and a charge-carrying gas take over when R-charge differences exceed a critical threshold, a transition reflected in the instability of the Euclidean gravitational path integral.

Dual holography as functional renormalization group

This paper establishes a unified framework linking the functional renormalization group and dual holography by reformulating the RG flow of a probability distribution via a Fokker-Planck equation into a path integral representation, which yields a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for an effective action that explicitly incorporates RG β\beta-functions into the bulk dynamics.

Spinh\text{Spin}^h Structure, Scalar and Charged Spinor Eigenfunctions on the SU(3)/SO(3)SU(3)/SO(3) Wu Manifold

This paper investigates the five-dimensional Wu manifold SU(3)/SO(3)SU(3)/SO(3), demonstrating that while it lacks standard spin and spinc^c structures, it admits a spinh^h structure which allows for the construction of explicit scalar and charged spinor harmonics by coupling fermions to an SO(3)SO(3) Yang-Mills field with half-integer isospin.

Strong coupling expansion of $1\over 2BPSWilsonloopinSYMtheoryand2loopGreenSchwarzstringinAdS BPS Wilson loop in SYM theory and 2-loop Green-Schwarz string in AdS_5 \times SS^5$

This paper investigates the 2-loop correction to the Green-Schwarz string partition function near an AdS2_2 minimal surface to reproduce the subleading term in the strong coupling expansion of the $1/2BPSWilsonloopin BPS Wilson loop in {\cal N}=4$ SYM, finding that a UV logarithmic divergence necessitates a specific subtraction prescription to match the gauge theory result and thereby refine the testing of AdS/CFT duality at strong coupling.

Dynamical Realization of Carrollian Conformal Symmetry and Celestial Holography Indications through Deformed Light-Cone Null Reduction

This paper investigates the Carrollian limit of a complex vector field theory via deformed light-cone null reduction, demonstrating how the resulting decoupled scalar fields and constrained energy-momentum tensor yield the Carrollian conformal algebra, facilitate a celestial holographic derivation of Weinberg's Soft Photon Theorem, and reveal specific mechanisms of holographic breakdown in the non-interacting limit.
