A Lorentzian inversion formula for defect CFT
We present a Lorentzian inversion formula valid for any defect CFT that extracts the bulk channel CFT data as an analytic function of the spin variable.

Gaudin models and multipoint conformal blocks. Part II. Comb channel vertices in 3D and 4D
It was recently shown that multi-point conformal blocks in higher dimensional conformal field theory can be considered as joint eigenfunctions for a system of commuting differential operators.

Dimensional reduction of theories involving (super-)gravity gives rise to sigma models on coset spaces of the form G/H, with G a non-compact group, and H its maximal compact subgroup. The reverse process, called oxidation, is the reconstruction of the possible higher dimensional theories, given the lower dimensional theory. In 3 dimensions, all degrees

4d N = 3 $$ \mathcal{N}=3 $$ indices via discrete gauging
A class of 4d N = 3 $$ \mathcal{N}=3 $$ SCFTs can be obtained from gauging a discrete subgroup of the global symmetry group of N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Super Yang-Mills theory.

Superconformal boundaries in 4 − ϵ dimensions
Boundaries in three-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal theories may preserve one half of the original bulk supersymmetry. There are two possibilities which are characterized by the chirality of the leftover supercharges.

Group field theories are particular quantum field theories defined on D copies of a group which reproduce spin foam amplitudes on a space-time of dimension D. In these lecture notes, we present the general construction of group field theories, merging ideas from tensor models and loop quantum gravity. This lecture is organized as follows.

On Higgs decays to hadrons and the R-ratio at N4LO
We present the first determination of Higgs-boson decay to hadrons at the next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD in the limit of a heavy top quark and massless light flavours.

We present a mechanism for realizing hybrid inflation using two axion fields with a purely non-perturbatively generated scalar potential. The structure of the scalar potential is highly constrained by the discrete shift symmetries of the axions.

Bootstrapping the (A1, A2) Argyres-Douglas theory
We apply bootstrap techniques in order to constrain the CFT data of the (A 1 , A 2) Argyres-Douglas theory, which is arguably the simplest of the Argyres-Douglas models.

Pions of a dark sector gauge group can be strongly interacting massive particle (SIMP) dark matter, produced by the freeze-out of 3 → 2 interactions, with naturally large self-interactions. We study if adding a dark photon to the set-up can do it all: i)
