, 2023 The role of properties in specifying different views on laws of nature is significant: virtuallyany position on laws will make some reference to properties, and some of the leading viewseven reduce laws to properties. This chapter will first outline what

Deforming soft algebras for gauge theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Symmetry algebras deriving from towers of soft theorems can be deformed by a short list of higher-dimension Wilsonian corrections to the effective action.

(2, 2) Scattering and the celestial torus
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Analytic continuation from Minkowski space to (2, 2) split signature spacetime has proven to be a powerful tool for the study of scattering amplitudes. Here we show that, under this continuation, null infinity becomes the product of a null interval with ...

Uplifting AdS3/CFT2 to flat space holography
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Four-dimensional (4D) flat Minkowski space admits a foliation by hyperbolicslices. Euclidean AdS3 slices fill the past and future lightcones of the origin, while dS3 slices fill the region outside the lightcone.

Mechanisms, Laws, and Regularities [PDF]
, 2011 Leuridan argued that mechanisms cannot provide a genuine alternative to laws of nature as a model of explanation in the sciences, and he advocates Mitchell’s pragmatic account of laws.

Descartes on Necessity and the Laws of Nature [PDF]
, 2022 This paper is on Descartes’ account of modality and, in particular, his account of the necessity of the laws of nature. He famously argues that the necessity of the “eternal truths” of logic and mathematics depends on God’s will.

Loop-corrected Virasoro symmetry of 4D quantum gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Recently a boundary energy-momentum tensor T zz has been constructed from the soft graviton operator for any 4D quantum theory of gravity in asymptotically flat space. Up to an “anomaly” which is one-loop exact, T zz generates a Virasoro action on the 2D

On the cognition of laws of nature [PDF]
Логические исследования, 2003 In this paper I shall discuss the problem of cognition of laws of nature on the following different levels of understanding: (i) First level of understanding of laws of nature: the Greek Ideal of Science (ii) Second level: Space Time Invariance (iii) Third level: Dynamical Laws (iv) Fourth level: Statistical Laws (v) Fifth level: Laws and Causality (vi)

A duality in string theory on AdS3
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We consider bosonic string theory on AdS3 supported by Kalb-Ramond flux. It is well known that the α′ exact worldsheet theory is described by the SL(2,R) WZW model.

Lorentz symmetry and IR structure of the BFSS matrix model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 The BFSS matrix model relates flat space M-theory to a large N limit of matrix quantum mechanics describing N non-relativistic D0-branes. M-theory, being a theory of gravity in flat space, has a rich infrared structure that includes various soft theorems
