TBA equations and quantum periods for D-type Argyres-Douglas theories by Katsushi Ito, Jingjing Yang

“…We study the variety of TBA systems across the Coulomb branch moduli space and find that they correspond to the Dynkin diagrams of D n Lie algebras in the minimal chamber, and reproduce the TBA equations for reflectionless D scattering theories at the maximally symmetric point. …”

A heterotic Kähler gravity and the distance conjecture by Javier José Murgas Ibarra, Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann, Fabian Ruehle, Eirik Eik Svanes

“…Treated separately, for large fluxes, or alternatively at large distances in the background complex structure moduli space, these fields can be integrated out to obtain a new field theory in the remaining fields, which describe the complexified hermitian and gauge degrees of freedom. …”

On measuring distances in the quantum gravity landscape by Amineh Mohseni, Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa, Irene Valenzuela

“…We show this definition reproduces the usual moduli space distance for zero potential, as well as the d ∝ |log Λ| behavior with the vacuum energy Λ in the AdS case, previously proposed in the literature. …”

Difference equations: From Berry connections to the Coulomb branch by Andrea E. V. Ferrari, Daniel Zhang

“…In recent work, we demonstrated that a spectral variety for the Berry connection of a 2d $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ GLSM with Kähler vacuum moduli space $X$ and Abelian flavour symmetry is the support of a sheaf induced by a certain action on the equivariant quantum cohomology of $X$. …”

Triple product amplitude from chiral string by Yu-Ping Wang

“…In the calculation of the amplitude, we not only have to integrate over the moduli space, we also have to sum over different defect configurations. …”

Species scale, worldsheet CFTs and emergent geometry by Christian Aoufia, Ivano Basile, Giorgio Leone

“…Abstract We study infinite-distance limits in the moduli space of perturbative string vacua. The remarkable interplay of string dualities seems to determine a highly non-trivial dichotomy, summarized by the emergent string conjecture, by which in some duality frame either internal dimensions decompactify or a unique critical string becomes tensionless. …”

Universal flops of length 1 and 2 from D2-branes at surface singularities by Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro

“…By varying the parameters on which Φ depends, one generates a family of 3d theories whose moduli space always includes a geometric branch, isomorphic to the deformed surface. …”

Quiver polymerisation by Amihay Hanany, Rudolph Kalveks, Guhesh Kumaran

“…These include polymerisation constructions for Kronheimer-Nakajima quivers, which generalise the ADHM construction for the moduli space of k SU(N) instantons on ℂ 2 to A-type singularities. …”

Computation of quark masses from string theory by Andrei Constantin, Cristofero S. Fraser-Taliente, Thomas R. Harvey, Andre Lukas, Burt Ovrut

“…For illustration, we consider a one-parameter family in complex structure moduli space. The computation at each point along this locus takes about half a day on a single twelve-core CPU. …”
