The nature of the laws of nature [PDF]
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2000 We human beings live in the explanations of our existence as living beings. These explanations of our existence include what we call the 'laws of nature'. Though we name them laws, we cannot claim that they have an existence independent of us.

(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.

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

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.

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.

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

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The ER = EPR correspondence relates a superposition of entangled, disconnected spacetimes to a connected spacetime with an Einstein-Rosen bridge. We construct examples in which both sides may be described by weakly-coupled string theory.

Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy from Kerr/CFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 It has been shown by A. Sen that logarithmic corrections to the black hole area-entropy law are entirely determined macroscopically from the massless particle spectrum.
