"An effective two dimensionality" cases bring a new hope to the Kaluza-Klein[like] theories

Abstract

One step towards realistic Kaluza-Klein[like] theories and a loop hole through the Witten's "no-go theorem" is presented for cases which we call an effective two dimensionality cases: In $d=2$ the equations of motion following from the action with the linear curvature leave spin connections and zweibeins undetermined. We present the case of a spinor in $d=(1+5)$ compactified on a formally infinite disc with the zweibein which makes a disc curved on an almost $S^2$ and with the spin connection field which allows on such a sphere only one massless normalizable spinor state of a particular charge, which couples the spinor chirally to the corresponding Kaluza-Klein gauge field. We assume no external gauge fields. The masslessness of a spinor is achieved by the choice of a spin connection field (which breaks parity), the zweibein and the normalizability condition for spinor states, which guarantee a discrete spectrum forming the complete basis. We discuss the meaning of the hole, which manifests the noncompactness of the space.

Six Easy Pieces: interplays among dualities in 4d, 3d and 2d

In this paper we consider 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ gauge theories with $N+1$ fundamentals, five antifundamentals and a conjugate two index antisymmetric tensor. The model has been shown to be in a mixed phase in the IR, splitting in an interacting non-Abelian Coulomb phase and a free magnetic phase. Through tensor deconfinement, we show that baryonic deformations lead to a non-Abelian free magnetic phase. Along the analysis we obtain a duality with symplectic SQCD that can be further reduced to 3d and 2d. In the 3d case the analysis of the three sphere partition function allows one to obtain dualities between $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ with a two index symmetric tensor and $\mathrm{SO}(N)$ theories. On the other hand, in 2d we recover dualities already known in the literature and propose new ones between special unitary and symplectic gauge theories.

Flat holography for spinor fields

We extend the hyperbolic Milne-slicing construction of flat holography in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime from scalar fields to massless spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fields. We solve the massive mode equation and restrict the boundary source-response analysis to the massless sector. Decomposition into harmonics on three-dimensional hyperbolic space, labeled by a continuous principal-series parameter, yields a separated-point nonlocal kernel up to the action normalization and local contact terms. The kernel has the universal form required by two-dimensional conformal covariance for spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ principal-series primaries. Then we construct regular source-normalized conformal-primary wavefunctions in planar and global coordinates on the celestial sphere $S^2$. We show that the planar source-response kernel is naturally identified with the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ shadow transform, while inverse shadowing recovers the angular delta-function structure of the unshadowed basis. We also analyze radial renormalization by analytic continuation from the principal-series problem to a real-mass AdS$_3$ problem.

Off-shell recursion for all-loop planar integrands in Yang-Mills theory

In this paper, we develop in detail the off-shell recursion for planar loop integrands in Yang-Mills theory. Starting from the classical equations of motion solved with the perturbiner method, we derive an exact transfer-matrix representation of the pure-gluon sector. We then include the ghost contributions to the loop kernels based on \cite{Tao:2025fch}. Finally, as an example, we work out the two-loop recursion in detail and conclude a general recursion strategy for two-loop planar integrands whose external legs are gluons.
