Abelian instantons and monopole scattering by Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Ofri Telem, John Terning, Shimon Yankielowicz

“…In this paper we re-examine this conventional wisdom by explicitly constructing instantons in an Abelian gauge theory: QED 4 with N f flavors of Dirac fermions, in the background of a Dirac monopole. …”

Schwinger-Type Pair Production in Non-SUSY AdS/CFT by Udit Narayan Chowdhury

“…We thus infer that the vacuum of the non-SUSY gauge theory is unstable for a range of non-supersymmetric parameter δ and that the geometry/non-SUSY field theory under consideration has quite different characteristics than earlier reported.…”

Dynamics of phase separation from holography by Maximilian Attems, Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos, Miguel Zilhão

“…Abstract We use holography to develop a physical picture of the real-time evolution of the spinodal instability of a four-dimensional, strongly-coupled gauge theory with a first-order, thermal phase transition. …”

Nonperturbative and Thermal Dynamics of Confined Fields in Dual QCD by H. C. Chandola, Deependra Singh Rawat, Dinesh Yadav, H. C. Pandey, H. Dehnen

“…In order to study the detailed dynamics and associated nonperturbative features of QCD, a dual version of the color gauge theory based on a topologically viable homogeneous fibre bundle approach has been analysed taking into account its magnetic symmetry structure. …”

Structure of massive gauge/gravity scattering amplitudes, equivalence theorems, and extended double-copy with compactified warped space by Yanfeng Hang, Wei-Wei Zhao, Hong-Jian He, Yin-Long Qiu

“…We present systematic formulations of the gauge theory equivalence theorem (GAET) and the gravitational equivalence theorem (GRET) for warped KK theories in R ξ gauge, where the GAET connects the scattering amplitudes of longitudinal KK gauge bosons to that of the corresponding KK Goldstone bosons and the GRET connects the scattering amplitudes of KK gravitons of helicity-zero (helicity-one) to that of the corresponding gravitational scalar (vector) KK Goldstone bosons. …”

A Partially Fixed Background Field Gauge by Anders Eller Thomsen

“…While this is not an issue when using the background field (BF) gauge for unbroken gauge theories, we find ourselves unable to demonstrate the cancellation with the ordinary BF gauge in spontaneously broken gauge theories when the massive vectors are heavy and decouple from the theory. …”

Universal Superspace Unitary Operator and Nilpotent (Anti-)Dual-BRST Symmetries: Superfield Formalism by T. Bhanja, N. Srinivas, R. P. Malik

“…We exploit the key concepts of the augmented version of superfield approach to Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism to derive the superspace (SUSP) dual unitary operator and its Hermitian conjugate and demonstrate their utility in the derivation of the nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting (anti-)dual-BRST symmetry transformations for a set of interesting models of the Abelian 1-form gauge theories. These models are the one (0+1)-dimensional (1D) rigid rotor and modified versions of the two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) Proca as well as anomalous gauge theories and 2D model of a self-dual bosonic field theory. …”

Conformal line defects at finite temperature by Julien Barrat, Bartomeu Fiol, Enrico Marchetto, Alessio Miscioscia, Elli Pomoni

“…We study conformal field theories at finite temperature in the presence of a temporal conformal line defect, wrapping the thermal circle, akin to a Polyakov loop in gauge theories. Although several symmetries of the conformal group are broken, the model can still be highly constrained from its features at zero temperature. …”

Entanglement entropy of a color flux tube in (2+1)D Yang-Mills theory by Rocco Amorosso, Sergey Syritsyn, Raju Venugopalan

“…We show that FTE2 can be expressed in terms of correlators of Polyakov loops, is manifestly gauge-invariant, and therefore free of the ambiguities in computations of the entanglement entropy in gauge theories related to the choice of the center algebra. …”

Hawking-Page transition in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity by Xiao-yan Hu, Yuan-zhang Cui, Wei Xu

“…According to the AdS/CFT correspondence theory, the conventional Hawking-Page phase transition finds interpretation as the confinement-deconfinement transition within gauge theories, while the reentrant Hawking-Page phase transition and triple points can also be interpreted as the phase transition and triple points in the QCD phase diagram. …”
