On continuous 2-category symmetries and Yang-Mills theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study a 4d gauge theory U(1) N−1 ⋊ S N obtained from a U(1) N−1 theory by gauging a 0-form symmetry S N . We show that this theory has a global continuous 2-category symmetry, whose structure is particularly rich for N > 2.

Precision matching of circular Wilson loops and strings in AdS 5 × S 5
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Previous attempts to match the exact N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Yang-Mills expression for the expectation value of the 12 $$ \frac{1}{2} $$-BPS circular Wilson loop with the semiclassical AdS 5 × S 5 string theory prediction were not successful at the

The next-to-next-to-leading order soft function for top quark pair production
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We present the first calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order threshold soft function for top quark pair production at hadron colliders, with full velocity dependence of the massive top quarks.

Wilson loops and defect RG flows in ABJM
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We continue our study of renormalization group (RG) flows on Wilson loop defects in ABJM theory, which we have initiated in arXiv:2211.16501 . We generalize that analysis by including non-supersymmetric fixed points and RG trajectories.

Quark-antiquark potential in defect conformal field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We consider antiparallel Wilson lines in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills in the presence of a codimension-1 defect. We compute the Wilson lines’ expectation value both at weak coupling, in the gauge theory, and at strong coupling, by finding the

String corrections to circular Wilson loop and anomalies
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study string quantum corrections to the ratio of latitude and circular Wilson loops in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling. Conformal gauge for the corresponding minimal surface in AdS5 × S 5 is singular and we show that

Study of gapped phases of 4d gauge theories using temporal gauging of the ℤ N 1-form symmetry
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 To study gapped phases of 4d gauge theories, we introduce the temporal gauging of ℤ N 1-form symmetry in 4d quantum field theories (QFTs), thereby defining effective 3d QFTs with ℤ ~ $$ \overset{\sim }{\mathbb{Z}} $$ N × ℤ N 1-form symmetry. In this way,

String tensions in deformed Yang-Mills theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study k-strings in deformed Yang-Mills (dYM) with SU(N) gauge group in the semiclassically calculable regime on ℝ3×S1 $$ {\mathbb{R}}^3\times {\mathbb{S}}^1 $$.

Line operators in the Standard Model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 There is an ambiguity in the gauge group of the Standard Model. The group is G = SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1)/Γ, where Γ is a subgroup of Z 6 which cannot be determined by current experiments.

The planar limit of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We obtain the perturbative expansion of the free energy on S 4 for four dimensional Lagrangian N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories, to all orders in the ’t Hooft coupling, in the planar limit.
