Odd dimensional nonlocal Liouville conformal field theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We construct Euclidean Liouville conformal field theories in odd number of dimensions. The theories are nonlocal and non-unitary with a log-correlated Liouville field, a Q $$ \mathcal{Q} $$ -curvature background, and an exponential Liouville-type ...

BPS solitons in Lifshitz field theories
, 2010 Lorentz-invariant scalar field theories in d+1 dimensions with second-order derivative terms are unable to support static soliton solutions that are both finite in energy and stable for d>2, a result known as Derrick's theorem.

Light-front higher-spin theories in flat space [PDF]
, 2016 We revisit the problem of interactions of higher-spin fields in flat space. We argue that all no-go theorems can be avoided by the light-cone approach, which results in more interaction vertices as compared to the usual covariant approaches.

Cosmologies with Scalar Fields from Higher Dimensions Applied to Bianchi Type VIh=-1 Model: Classical and Quantum Solutions [PDF]
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2018 We construct an effective four-dimensional model by compactifying a ten-dimensional theory of gravity coupled with a real scalar dilaton field on a time-dependent torus.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We focus our attention on the one dimensional scalar theories that result from dimensionally reducing the free scalar field theory in arbitrary d dimensions.

Large Spin Perturbation Theory for Conformal Field Theories. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2016 We consider conformal field theories around points of large twist degeneracy. Examples of this are theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetry and perturbations around generalized free fields.

T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformations in curved space from 4D Chern-Simons theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In this paper, we shed new light onto T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformations by engineering them on 2D surface defects, supporting chiral and antichiral CFT’s, in a 4D Chern-Simons bulk. This approach is motivated by various connections between T T ¯ $$

Higher-order gravity in higher dimensions: geometrical origins of four-dimensional cosmology? [PDF]
, 2017 Determining the cosmological field equations is still very much debated and led to a wide discussion around different theoretical proposals. A suitable conceptual scheme could be represented by gravity models that naturally generalize Einstein theory ...

Irreversibility in quantum field theories with boundaries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study conformal field theories with boundaries, and their boundary renormalization group (RG) flows, using methods from quantum information theory. Positivity of the relative entropy, together with unitarity and Lorentz invariance, give rise to bounds

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only
