Abstract

We study the influence of nonlinear terms quartic of the charged fields, which do not change the critical points of single condensate solutions, on the phase structure of a holographic model with multi-condensate in probe limit. We include one s-wave order and one p-wave order charged under the same U(1) gauge field in the holographic model and study the influence of the three quartic nonlinear terms of the charged fields with coefficients $λ_s$, $λ_p$ and $λ_{sp}$ on the phase structure. We show the influence of each of the three parameters on the phase diagram with other two set to zero, respectively. With these nonlinear terms, we get more power on tuning the phase structure of the holographic system showing multi-condensate, and show how to get a reentrant phase transition as an example.

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.

Criticality of ISCOs and AdS/CFT

We study the trajectories of massive particles in spherically symmetric black holes in arbitrary dimensions, and find certain universal features based on the topological classification of the fixed points. If the system admits a center, we find two possible outcomes: regardless of the value of the angular momentum, the center always survives, which is realized in global AdS spacetimes or, the center disappears below a critical value of angular momentum, which happens for various spherically symmetric black holes. For the latter case, we find that irrespective of the details of the black hole, there must always be a saddle point. Topological arguments show that there exists a certain critical value of energy, angular momentum and the angular velocity, where the center and the saddle coalesce. This happens at a special point in the parameter space where the trajectories are the limiting innermost stable circular orbits (ISCOs). At the critical point, conserved quantities show universal, van der Waals-like mean-field scaling typical of a second-order phase transition. The anomalous dimensions $γ$ of the double-twist operators in the CFT are found, both using AdS/CFT and through the the heavy-heavy-light-light four point correlators, giving negative and positive values for the center and saddle, respectively, including the emergence of certain non-analytic behaviour at the ISCO. For the center, we also find subleading corrections in $\frac{1}{Δ_H}$ to $γ$ in the dual CFT, and dsicuss the implications of our results.

Constraining F-theory Model Building with QCD Axions

In this paper, we investigate axion physics in 4D F-theory MSSM models. We derive the axion coupling term with QCD gauge fields and the axion potential from a top-down perspective, from both IIB superstring and the dual M-theory picture. For the explicit geometric model, we employ the "quadrillion" landscape of 4D F-theory models with the exact Standard Model chiral spectrum, and study simple base threefolds such as $\mathbb{P}^3$, $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$, the generalized Hirzebruch threefold $\tilde{\mathbb{F}}_3$ and $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$. We derive exclusion constraints on the Kähler moduli space of the base threefold from the CP violation angle, the Standard Model gauge coupling constants and the stretched Kähler cone condition. We find stringent constraints on the set of base divisors that should be rigid or rigidified by the inclusion of flux. For the allowed regions of the parameter space, we estimate the typical mass of detectable QCD axions to be around $10^{-9}$eV, and the axion decay constant to be around $f_a\sim 10^{15}$GeV.
