Black holes and (0,4) SCFTs from type IIB on K3
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study the central charges and levels of 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 4) superconformal field theories that are dual to four- and five-dimensional BPS black holes in compactifications of type IIB string theory on a K3 surface.

On quantum Poisson-Lie T-duality of WZNW models
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe study Poisson-Lie T-duality of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) models which are obtained from a class of Drinfel’d doubles and its generalization.

On the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We continue the study of the gl(1|1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model. The Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the one, two, three and four point functions are analyzed, for vertex operators corresponding to typical and projective representations.

Carving out the space of open-string S-matrix
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In this paper, we explore the open string amplitude’s dual role as a space-time S-matrix and a 2D holomorphic CFT correlation function. We pursue this correspondence in two directions.

On black holes in string theory [PDF]
, 2011 PhDThis thesis investigates black holes in string theory through string amplitudes and through gauge-gravity duality. The research presented in this thesis supports the claim that string theory is capable of a consistent quantum-mechanical description

Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe find a dual description of the supersymmetric SL(2, ℂ)/SU(2) WZW model as a super-winding condensate CFT, which follows simply from the bosonic AdS3 duality found in [arXiv:2104.07233].

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We clarify three aspects of non-compact elliptic genera. Firstly, we give a path integral derivation of the elliptic genus of the cigar conformal field theory from its non-linear sigma-model description.

Twisted circle compactifications of 6d SCFTs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) compactified on a circle with arbitrary twists. The theories obtained after compactification, often referred to as 5d Kaluza-Klein (KK) theories, can be viewed as starting points for RG flows to 5d SCFTs.

Perturbative and non-perturbative studies in low dimensional quantum field theory [PDF]
, 2007 A relevant perturbation of a conformal field theory (CFT) on the half-plane, by both a bulk and boundary operator, often leads to a massive theory with a particle description in terms of the bulk S-matrix and boundary reflection factor R.

String Theory - From Physics to Metaphysics [PDF]
, 2006 Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence, the sequence of metamorphosis it ran through, and the ever more increasing ...
