Time Ordering Effects and Destruction of Quasiparticles in Two-dimensional Holographic CFTs

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the entanglement dynamics induced by a composite operator, defined as the local operator evolved with the time evolution operator constructed of the Euclidean and Lorentzian ones. The systems under consideration are described by two-dimensional holographic conformal field theories (2d holographic CFTs), the theories described by gravity. Then, we find that the time ordering of Euclidean and Lorentzian time evolutions affects the behavior of bipartite entanglement and non-local correlation, especially their late-time ones. We also establish the relation between entanglement entropy and energy-momentum densities. This relation states that the late-time behaviors of bipartite entanglement and non-local correlation strongly depend on the energy distribution. We also examine how the decay of the quasiparticle influences the bipartite entanglement and non-local correlation. Furthermore, we investigate the gravity dual of the systems considered in this paper.

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.
