Deforming soft algebras for gauge theory
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
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
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.

A duality in string theory on AdS3
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.

Armstrong on Probabilistic Laws of Nature [PDF]
D. M. Armstrong famously claims that deterministic laws of nature are contingent relations between universals and that his account can also be straightforwardly extended to irreducibly probabilistic laws of nature.

Loop-corrected Virasoro symmetry of 4D quantum gravity
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

Against Miracles as Law-Violations: A Neo-Aristotelian Approach [PDF]
Miracles are commonly understood in the way David Hume defined them: as violations of the laws of nature. I argue, however, that the conjunction of Hume’s definition with a neo-Humean view of the laws of nature yields objectionable consequences.

Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy from Kerr/CFT
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.

On what powers cannot do [PDF]
Dispositionalism is the view that the world is, ultimately, just a world of objects and their irreducible dispositions, and that such dispositions are, ultimately, the sole explanatory ground for the occurrence of events.

Lorentz symmetry and IR structure of the BFSS matrix model
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
