Generalized Symmetries in Supergravities and Superconformal Field Theories via String Theory
In this dissertation, we study the generalized symmetries in supergravities and superconformal field theories from the string theory perspective. Part one is devoted to the study of string universality in high spacetime dimensions.

Implications of ANEC for SCFTs in four dimensions [PDF]
We explore consequences of the Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) for scaling dimensions $Delta$ of operators in four-dimensional $mathcalN=1$ superconformal field theories.

Discrimination in a Low-Wage Labor Market: A Field Experiment [PDF]
Decades of racial progress have led some researchers and policymakers to doubt that discrimination remains an important cause of economic inequality. To study contemporary discrimination we conducted a field experiment in the low-wage labor market of New

Entanglement entropy, relative entropy and duality
A definition for the entanglement entropy in both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories has been given in the literature, based on an extended Hilbert space construction.

Bootstrapping massive quantum field theories
We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions.

Perils of Towers in the Swamp: Dark Dimensions and the Robustness of Effective Field Theories
Recently there has been an interesting revival of the idea to use large extra dimensions to address the dark energy problem, exploiting the (true) observation that towers of states with masses split, by $M^2_N = f(N) m^2,$ with $f$ an unbounded function ...

Consistency of gravitational effective field theories
Quantum field theories are most pragmatically viewed as effective field theories, accurately describing physics within a finite range of energy or length scales.

Solving Conformal Field Theories Using Conformal Bootstrap [PDF]
Conformal field theories (CFTs) play central roles in modern theoretical physics. Many CFTs are strongly coupled and cannot be studied using perturbative method.

Some exact solutions for maximally symmetric topological defects in Anti de Sitter space
We obtain exact analytical solutions for a class of SO(l) Higgs field theories in a non-dynamic background n-dimensional anti de Sitter space. These finite transverse energy solutions are maximally symmetric p-dimensional topological defects where n = (p

On the dynamics of topological solitons [PDF]
This thesis investigates the dynamics of lump-like objects in non-integrable field theories, whose stability is due to topological considerations. The work concerns three different low dimensional ((1 + 1)- and (2 + l)-dimensional) systems and addresses ...
