Genus-2 holographic correlator on AdS5 × S 5 from localization by Shai M. Chester

“…Abstract We consider the four-point function of the stress tensor multiplet superprimary in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super-Yang-Mills (SYM) with gauge group SU(N ) in the large N and large ’t Hooft coupling λ ≡ g YM 2 N $$ \lambda \equiv {g}_{\mathrm{YM}}^2N $$ limit, which is holographically dual to the genus expansion of IIB string theory on AdS5 × S 5. In [1] it was shown that the integral of this correlator is related to derivatives of the mass deformed N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 ∗ sphere free energy, which was computed using supersymmetric localization to leading order in 1/N 2 for finite λ. …”

T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformations, massive gravity and non-critical strings by Andrew J. Tolley

Dark matter as ultralight axion-like particle in E6 × U(1)X GUT with QCD axion by Claudio Corianò, Paul H. Frampton

“…Axion-like fields are naturally generated by a mechanism of anomaly cancellation of one or more anomalous gauge abelian symmetries at the Planck scale, emerging as duals of a two-form from the massless bosonic sector of string theory. This suggests an analogy of the Green–Schwarz mechanism of anomaly cancellation, at field theory level, which results in one or more Stueckelberg pseudoscalars. …”

Radiative natural supersymmetry emergent from the string landscape by Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Dakotah Martinez, Shadman Salam

“…Abstract In string theory with flux compactifications, anthropic selection for structure formation from a discretuum of vacuum energy values provides at present our only understanding of the tiny yet positive value of the cosmological constant. …”

A new class of de Sitter vacua in type IIB large volume compactifications by Diego Gallego, M. C. David Marsh, Bert Vercnocke, Timm Wrase

“…Abstract We construct a new class of metastable de Sitter vacua of flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. These solutions provide a natural extension of the ‘Large Volume Scenario’ anti-de Sitter vacua, and can analogously be realised at parametrically large volume and weak string coupling, using standard N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravity. …”

Instanton contributions to the ABJM free energy from quantum M2 branes by M. Beccaria, S. Giombi, A. A. Tseytlin

“…\dots $$ The exponent comes from the action of an M2 brane instanton wrapped on S 3/ℤ k , which represents the M-theory uplift of the ℂP1 instanton in type IIA string theory on AdS4 × ℂP3. The IIA string computation of the leading large k term in the instanton prefactor was recently performed in arXiv:2304.12340. …”

Giant graviton interactions and M2-branes ending on multiple M5-branes by Shinji Hirano, Yuki Sato

“…Abstract We study splitting and joining interactions of giant gravitons with angular momenta N 1/2 ≪ J ≪ N in the type IIB string theory on AdS 5 × S 5 by describing them as instantons in the tiny graviton matrix model introduced by Sheikh-Jabbari. …”

Relative defects in relative theories: Trapped higher-form symmetries and irregular punctures in class S by Lakshya Bhardwaj, Simone Giacomelli, Max Hübner, Sakura Schäfer-Nameki

“…A key role in the analysis of defect groups is played by two different geometric descriptions of the punctures in Type IIB string theory: one provided by isolated hypersurface singularities in Calabi-Yau threefolds, and the other provided by ALE fibrations with monodromies.…”

(p, q)-webs of DIM representations, 5d N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ instanton partition functions and qq-characters by J.-E. Bourgine, M. Fukuda, K. Harada, Y. Matsuo, R.-D. Zhu

“…Abstract Instanton partition functions of N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ 5d Super Yang-Mills reduced on S 1 can be engineered in type IIB string theory from the (p, q)-branes web diagram. To this diagram is superimposed a web of representations of the Ding-Iohara-Miki (DIM) algebra that acts on the partition function. …”

Complete normal ordering 1: Foundations by John Ellis, Nick E. Mavromatos, Dimitri P. Skliros

“…We illustrate explicitly the complete normal ordering procedure and the cancellation of cephalopod diagrams in scalar field theories with non-derivative interactions, and by using a point splitting ‘trick’ we extend this result to theories with derivative interactions, such as those appearing as non-linear σ-models in the world-sheet formulation of string theory. We focus here on theories with trivial vacua, generalising the discussion to non-trivial vacua in a follow-up paper.…”

Fully Automated and Robust Cable Tension Estimation of Wireless Sensor Networks System by Min Zhang, Huating He, Gengying Li, Haiyang Wang

An SU(5) × U(1)′ SUSY GUT with a “vector-like chiral” fourth family to fit all low energy data, including the muon g − 2 by Harshal Kulkarni, Stuart Raby

“…This model predicts sparticle masses less than 25 TeV, with a gluino mass ≈ 2.3 – 3 TeV consistent with constraints, and one of the neutralinos as the LSP with a mass of ≈ 480 – 580 GeV, which is a potential dark matter candidate. The model is string theory motivated and predicts the VL quarks, leptons, a massive Z′ and two Dirac neutrinos at the TeV scale and the branching ratios of μ ⟶ eγ, τ ⟶ μγ and τ ⟶ 3μ with BR(μ ⟶ eγ) within reach of future experiments.…”

Anomaly constraints and string/F-theory geometry in 6D quantum gravity by Taylor, Washington

“…The conjecture of “string universality” states that all such theories whic h do not have anomalies or other quantum inconsistencies are realized in string theory.
