Symmetry enhancement interpolation, non-commutativity and Double Field Theory
(Springer, 2019-03)
We present a moduli dependent target space effective field theory action for (truncated) heterotic string toroidal compactifications. When moving continuously along moduli space, the stringy gauge symmetry enhancement-breaking ...
Gauge symmetry enhancing-breaking from a Double Field Theory perspective
(Springer, 2017-07)
Gauge symmetry enhancing, at specific points of the compactification space, is a distinguished feature of string theory. In this work we discuss the breaking of such symmetries with tools provided by Double Field Theory ...
L ∞ algebras and tensor hierarchies in Exceptional Field Theory and Gauged Supergravity
(Springer, 2019-01)
We show how the gauge and field structure of the tensor hierarchies in Double and E7(7) Exceptional Field Theory fits into L∞ algebras. Special attention is paid to redefinitions, the role of covariantly constrained fields ...
Perturbative double field theory on general backgrounds
(American Physical Society, 2016-01)
We develop the perturbation theory of double field theory around arbitrary solutions of its field equations. The exact gauge transformations are written in a manifestly background covariant way and contain at most quadratic ...
dS/dS and TT¯
(Springer, 2019-03-14)
The TT¯ deformation of a conformal field theory has a dual description as a cutoff AdS3 spacetime, at least at the level of pure 3d gravity. We generalize this deformation in such a way that it builds up a patch of bulk ...
Two-dimensional conductors with interactions and disorder from particle-vortex duality
(American Physical Society, 2017-12-15)
We study Dirac fermions in two spatial dimensions (2D) coupled to strongly fluctuating U(1) gauge fields in the presence of quenched disorder. Such systems are dual to theories of free Dirac fermions, which are vortices ...
Deep inelastic scattering from polarized spin-1/2 hadrons at low x from string theory
(Springer, 2018-10)
We study polarized deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons from spin-1/2 hadrons at low values of the Bjorken parameter and large ?t Hooft coupling in terms of the gauge/string theory duality. We calculate the structure ...
The Odd story of α′-corrections
(Springer, 2017-04)
The α′-deformed frame-like Double Field Theory (DFT) is a T-duality and gauge invariant extension of DFT in which generalized Green-Schwarz transformations provide a gauge principle that fixes the higher-derivative ...
Spin-1/2 fermionic operators of n=4 SYM theory and DIS from type IIB supergravity
(Springer, 2020-06)
We study deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons from polarised spin1/2 hadrons in terms of the gauge/gravity duality. We calculate the structure functions related to spin-1/2 fermionic operators of N = 4 SYM ...
