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)

Higher-order Sudakov resummation in coupled gauge theories
We consider the higher-order resummation of Sudakov double logarithms in the presence of multiple coupled gauge in. The associated evolution equations depend on the coupled β functions of two (or more) coupling constants α a and α b , as well as ...

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.

Bootstrapping line defects with O(2) global symmetry
We use the numerical bootstrap to study conformal line defects with O(2) global symmetry. Our results are very general and capture in particular conformal line defects originating from bulk CFTs with a continuous global symmetry, which can either be ...

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.

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

We present an improved determination of the strange quark and antiquark parton distribution functions of the proton by means of a global QCD analysis that takes into account a comprehensive set of strangeness-sensitive measurements: charm-tagged cross ...

Bootstrapping Coulomb and Higgs branch operators
We apply the numerical conformal bootstrap to correlators of Coulomb and Higgs branch operators in 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal theories. We start by revisiting previous results on single correlators of Coulomb branch operators.

Seeking SUSY fixed points in the 4 − ϵ expansion
We use the 4 − ϵ expansion to search for fixed points corresponding to 2 + 1 dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ =1 Wess-Zumino models of N Φ scalar superfields interacting through a cubic superpotential. In the N Φ = 3 case we classify all SUSY fixed points
