Hampapura, Andrew Rolph, Bogdan Stoica Categories: hep-th Comments: 16 pages, 2 figures Report-no: BRX-TH-6636, Brown-HET-1774 \\ We study quantum chaos in two dimensional conformal field theories, building on the work analyzing the out-of-time order thermal correlation functions using large-c Virasoro blocks. Our work investigates the contribution of light intermediate channels and smearing length scales to the four-point function and scrambling. Precise relations for how light intermediate channels increase the scrambling time and how smearing length scales smaller than the thermal length scale decrease the scrambling time are derived. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09651 , 30kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09773 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 01:22:46 GMT (3110kb,D) Title: Dirac spectrum and chiral condensate for QCD at fixed $\theta$-angle Authors: M. Kieburg, J.J.M. Verbaarschot and T. Wettig Categories: hep-th hep-lat Comments: 20 pages, 11 figures \\ We analyze the mass dependence of the chiral condensate for QCD at nonzero $\theta$-angle and find that in general the discontinuity of the chiral condensate is not on the support of the Dirac spectrum. To understand this behavior we decompose the spectral density and the chiral condensate into contributions from the zero modes, the quenched part, and a remainder which is sensitive to the fermion determinant and is referred to as the dynamical part. We obtain general formulas for the contributions of the zero modes. Expressions for the quenched part, valid for an arbitrary number of flavors, and for the dynamical part, valid for one and two flavors, are derived in the microscopic domain of QCD. We find that at nonzero $\theta$-angle the quenched and dynamical part of the Dirac spectral density are strongly oscillating with an amplitude that increases exponentially with the volume $V$ and a period of order of $1/V$. The quenched part of the chiral condensate becomes exponentially large at $\theta\ne0$, but this divergence is canceled by the contribution from the zero modes. The oscillatory behavior of the dynamical part of the density is essential for moving the discontinuity of the chiral condensate away from the support of the Dirac spectrum. As important by-products of this work we obtain analytical expressions for the microscopic spectral density of the Dirac operator at nonzero $\theta$-angle for both one- and two-flavor QCD with nonzero quark masses. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09773 , 3110kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09899 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 10:49:18 GMT (96kb,D) Title: $L_\infty$-Algebras of Classical Field Theories and the Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism Authors: Branislav Jurco, Lorenzo Raspollini, Christian Saemann, Martin Wolf Categories: hep-th math-ph math.MP Comments: 125 pages Report-no: EMPG-18-19, DMUS-MP-18/05 \\ We review in detail the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and its mathematical foundations with an emphasis on higher algebraic structures and classical field theories. In particular, we show how a field theory gives rise to an $L_\infty$-algebra and how quasi-isomorphisms between $L_\infty$-algebras correspond to classical equivalences of field theories. A few experts may be familiar with parts of our discussion, however, the material is presented from the perspective of a very general notion of a gauge theory. We also make a number of new observations and present some new results. Most importantly, we discuss in great detail higher (categorified) Chern-Simons theories and give some useful shortcuts in usually rather involved computations. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09899 , 96kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09941 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 12:39:12 GMT (13kb) Title: Open Spin Chains from Determinant Like Operators in ABJM Theory Authors: Hui-Huang Chen, Hao Ouyang, Jun-Bao Wu Categories: hep-th Comments: 11 pages, no figures; Report-no: NORDITA-2018-090 \\ We study the mixing problem of the determinant like operators in ABJM theory to two loop order in the scalar sector. The gravity dual of these operators is open strings attached to the maximal giant graviton, which is a D4-brane wrapping a $\mathbb{CP}^2$ inside $\mathbb{CP}^3$ in our case. The anomalous dimension matrix of these operators can be regarded as an open spin chain Hamiltonian. We provide strong evidence of its integrability based on coordinate Bethe ansatz method and boundary Yang-Baxter equation. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09941 , 13kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09961 Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2018 09:58:52 GMT (1118kb) Title: Anti-de-Sitter-Maxwell-Yang-Mills black holes thermodynamics from nonlocal observables point of view Authors: H. El Moumni Categories: hep-th Comments: 22 pages, 9 figures \\ In this paper, we analyze the thermodynamic properties of the Anti de Sitter black hole in the Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills-AdS gravity (EMYM) via many approaches and in different thermodynamical ensembles (canonical/ grand canonical). First, we give a concise overview of this phase structure in the entropy-thermal diagram for fixed charges then we investigate this thermodynamical structure in fixed potentials ensemble. The Next relevant step is recalling the nonlocal observables such as holographic entanglement entropy and two-point correlation function to show that both observables exhibit a Van der Waals-like behavior near the critical line as the case of the thermal entropy for fixed charges by checking Maxwell's equal area law and the critical exponent. In the light of the grand canonical ensemble, we also find a newly phase structure for such black hole where the critical behavior disappears in the thermal picture as well as in the holographic one. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09961 , 1118kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09975 Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:02:17 GMT (20kb) Title: Extending Starobinsky inflationary model in gravity and supergravity Authors: Sergey Ketov and Maxim Khlopov Categories: hep-th gr-qc hep-ph Comments: Prepared for Proceedings of XXI Bled Workshop "What comes beyond Standard Models" \\ We review some recent trends in the inflationary model building, the supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, the gravitino Dark Matter (DM) and the Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) production in supergravity. The Starobinsky inflation can be embedded into supergravity when the inflaton belongs to the massive vector multiplet associated with a (spontaneously broken) $U(1)$ gauge symmetry. The SUSY and R-symmetry can be also spontaneously broken after inflation by the (standard) Polonyi mechanism. Polonyi particles and gravitinos are super heavy and can be copiously produced during inflation via the Schwinger mechanism sourced by the Universe expansion. The overproduction and instability problems can be avoided, and the positive cosmological constant (dark energy) can also be introduced. The observed abundance of the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) composed of gravitinos can be achieved in our supergravity model too, thus providing the unifying framework for inflation, supersymmetry breaking, dark energy and dark matter genesis. Our supergravity approach may also lead to a formation of primordial non-linear structures like stellar-mass-type black holes, and may include the SUSY GUTs inspired by heterotic string compactifications, unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09975 , 20kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.10003 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:01:51 GMT (12kb) Title: Turbulence and Random Geometry Authors: Yaron Oz Categories: hep-th Comments: 16 pages, to appear in the Memorial Volume for Jacob Bekenstein \\ We outline our proposal for a field theory description of steady state incompressible fluid turbulence at the inertial range of scales in a general number of space dimensions. The theory consists of a Kolmogorov linear scaling mean field theory dressed by a Nambu-Goldstone dilaton mode that induces a random measure on the inertial range. We derive a KPZ-type formula for the anomalous scalings of the velocity structure functions, the velocity gradients and the local energy dissipation, and relate the dimensionless intermittency parameter to the boundary conformal anomaly. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10003 , 12kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.10027 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:34:16 GMT (44kb) Title: $A_\infty$ Algebras from Slightly Broken Higher Spin Symmetries Authors: Alexey Sharapov and Evgeny D. Skvortsov Categories: hep-th Comments: 45 pages, some pictures \\ We define a class of $A_\infty$-algebras that are obtained by deformations of higher spin symmetries. While higher spin symmetries of a free CFT form an associative algebra, the slightly broken higher spin symmetries give rise to a minimal $A_\infty$-algebra extending the associative one. These $A_\infty$-algebras are related to non-commutative deformation quantization much as the unbroken higher spin symmetries result from the conventional deformation quantization. In the case of three dimensions there is an additional parameter that the $A_\infty$-structure depends on, which is to be related to the Chern-Simons level. The deformations corresponding to the bosonic and fermionic matter lead to the same $A_\infty$-algebra, thus manifesting the three-dimensional bosonization conjecture. In all other cases we consider, the $A_\infty$-deformation is determined by a generalized free field in one dimension lower. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10027 , 44kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.10055 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 15:12:51 GMT (292kb,D) Title: Informational entropic Regge trajectories of meson families in AdS/QCD Authors: A. E. Bernardini, R. da Rocha Categories: hep-th hep-ph Comments: 9 pages, 6 figures \\ Bulk mesons propagating in chiral and gluon condensates, in a gravity background, are scrutinized in holographic soft wall AdS/QCD models, involving deformed dilatonic backgrounds. The configurational entropy of the $a_1$ axial vector, the $\rho$ vector, and the $f_0$ scalar meson families is then computed. Two types of informational entropic Regge trajectories are then obtained, where the logarithm of the mesons configurational entropy is expressed in terms of both the experimental meson mass spectra and their excitation number as well. Therefore the mass spectra of the next generation of elements in each meson family, besides being predicted as eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger-like equations, are estimated with better accuracy and discussed. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10055 , 292kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.10114 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 16:51:19 GMT (4065kb) Title: De Sitter Vacua in No-Scale Supergravity Authors: John Ellis, Balakrishnan Nagaraj, Dimitri V.

The simplest no-scale K\"ahler potential with a single chiral field corresponds to a compactification to flat Minkowski space with a single volume modulus, but generalizations to single-field no-scale models with de Sitter vacua are also known. In this paper we generalize these de Sitter constructions to two- and multi-field models of the types occurring in string compactifications with more than one relevant modulus. We discuss the conditions for stability of the de Sitter solutions and holomorphy of the superpotential, and give examples whose superpotential contains only integer powers of the chiral fields. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10114 , 4065kb) %-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1808.01879 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2018 13:22:33 GMT (203kb,D) Date (revised v2): Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:00:03 GMT (858kb,D) Title: Axion Miniclusters in Modified Cosmological Histories Authors: Luca Visinelli and Javier Redondo Categories: astro-ph.CO gr-qc hep-ph hep-th Comments: 17 pages, 4 figures, 1 table Report-no: NORDITA-2018-063; MPP-2018-237 \\ If the symmetry breaking leading to the origin of the axion dark matter field occurs after the end of inflation and is never restored, then overdensities in the axion field collapse to form dense objects known in the literature as axion miniclusters. The estimates of the typical minicluster mass and radius strongly depend on the details of the cosmology at which the onset of axion oscillations begin. In this work we study the properties and phenomenology of miniclusters in alternative cosmological histories and find that they can change by many orders of magnitude. Our findings have direct implications on current and future experimental searches and, in the case of discovery, could be used to learn something about the Universe expansion prior to Big-Bang-Nucleosynthesys. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01879 , 858kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09133 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:02:07 GMT (394kb,D) Title: The interacting multiverse and its effect on the cosmic microwave background Authors: Mariam Bouhmadi-L\'opez, Manuel Kraemer, Jo\~ao Morais, Salvador Robles-P\'erez Categories: gr-qc astro-ph.CO hep-ph hep-th Comments: 28 pages, 8 figures \\ We study a toy model of a multiverse consisting of canonically quantized universes that interact with each other on a quantum level based on a field-theoretical formulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This interaction leads to the appearance of a pre-inflationary phase in the evolution of the individual universes. We analyze scalar perturbations within the model and calculate the influence of the pre-inflationary phase onto the power spectrum of these perturbations. The result is that there is a suppression of power on large scales, which can describe well the Planck 2018 data for the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and could thus indicate a possible solution to the observed quadrupole discrepancy. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09133 , 394kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09207 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:21:23 GMT (34kb) Title: The Poincar\'e group as a Drinfel'd double Authors: Angel Ballesteros, Ivan Gutierrez-Sagredo, Francisco J. Herranz Categories: math-ph gr-qc hep-th math.MP \\ The eight nonisomorphic Drinfel'd double (DD) structures for the Poincar\'e Lie group in (2+1) dimensions are explicitly constructed in the kinematical basis. Also, the two existing DD structures for a non-trivial central extension of the (1+1) Poincar\'e group are also identified and constructed, while in (3+1) dimensions no Poincar\'e DD structure does exist. Each of the DD structures here presented has an associated canonical quasitriangular Poincar\'e $r$-matrix whose properties are analysed. Some of these $r$-matrices give rise to coisotropic Poisson homogeneous spaces with respect to the Lorentz subgroup, and their associated Poisson Minkowski spacetimes are constructed. Two of these (2+1) noncommutative DD Minkowski spacetimes turn out to be quotients by a Lorentz Poisson subgroup: the first one corresponds to the double of $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ with trivial Lie bialgebra structure, and the second one gives rise to a quadratic noncommutative Poisson Minkowski spacetime. With these results, the explicit construction of DD structures for all Lorentzian kinematical groups in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions is completed, and the connection between (anti-)de Sitter and Poincar\'e $r$-matrices through the vanishing cosmological constant limit is also analysed. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09207 , 34kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.09717 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 20:54:33 GMT (33kb) Title: Representations of relativistic particles of arbitrary spin in Poincar\'e, Lorentz, and Euclidean covariant formulations of relativistic quantum mechanics Authors: W. N. Polyzou Categories: nucl-th hep-th Comments: 35 pages \\ Relativistic treatments of quantum mechanical systems are important for understanding hadronic structure and dynamics at sub-nucleon distance scales. Hadronic states in different inertial reference frames are needed to compute current matrix elements that probe hadronic structure and dynamics. Relativistic invariance is an important consideration as the resolution of the probe is increased. Many different treatments of relativistic dynamics are used in practice, including Poincar\'e covariant methods, Lorentz covariant methods, Euclidean covariant methods and methods based on quantum fields. Wave functions are typically matrix elements of interacting relativistic states in a basis of non-interacting relativistic states. The purpose of this work is to develop the relation between these different representations of relativistic states that are used in different applications from a unified point of view, starting with positive mass irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group. \\ ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09717 , 33kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1809.10037 (*cross-listing*) Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:53:25 GMT (55kb,D) Title: Horizon hair of extremal black holes and measurements at null infinity Authors: Yannis Angelopoulos and Stefanos Aretakis and Dejan Gajic Categories: gr-qc hep-th math.AP Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures Journal-ref: Y.
