A bstract = 1 supersymmetry. These operators are in one-to-one correspondence with non-factorizable terms in on-shell superamplitudes, which can be studied with massless spinor helicity techniques. By relating all spin-helicity variables to certain representations under a hidden U($$ \mathcal{N} $$ N ) symmetry behind the theory, we show each non-factorizable superamplitude can be identified with a specific Young tableau. The desired tableau is picked out of a more general set of U(N ) tensor products by enforcing the supersymmetric Ward identities. We then relate these Young tableaux to higher dimensional superfield operators and list the rules to read operators directly from Young tableau. Using this method, we present several illustrative examples. -
A bstract Generalizing previous results for
= 0 and$$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1, we analyze$$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 JT supergravity on asymptotically AdS2spaces with arbitrary topology and show that this theory of gravity is dual, in a holographic sense, to a certain random matrix ensemble in which supermultiplets of different$$ \mathcal{N} $$ R -charge are statistically independent and each is described by its own = 2 random matrix ensemble. We also analyze the case with a time-reversal symmetry, either commuting or anticommuting with the$$ \mathcal{N} $$ R -charge. In order to compare supergravity to random matrix theory, we develop an = 2 analog of the recursion relations for Weil-Petersson volumes originally discovered by Mirzakhani in the bosonic case.$$ \mathcal{N} $$ -
Abstract We consider the problem of covering multiple submodular constraints. Given a finite ground set
N , a weight function ,$$w: N \rightarrow \mathbb {R}_+$$ r monotone submodular functions over$$f_1,f_2,\ldots ,f_r$$ N and requirements the goal is to find a minimum weight subset$$k_1,k_2,\ldots ,k_r$$ such that$$S \subseteq N$$ for$$f_i(S) \ge k_i$$ . We refer to this problem as$$1 \le i \le r$$ Multi-Submod-Cover and it was recently considered by Har-Peled and Jones (Few cuts meet many point sets. CoRR.arxiv:abs1808.03260 Har-Peled and Jones 2018) who were motivated by an application in geometry. Even with$$r=1$$ Multi-Submod-Cover generalizes the well-known Submodular Set Cover problem (Submod-SC ), and it can also be easily reduced toSubmod-SC . A simple greedy algorithm gives an approximation where$$O(\log (kr))$$ and this ratio cannot be improved in the general case. In this paper, motivated by several concrete applications, we consider two ways to improve upon the approximation given by the greedy algorithm. First, we give a bicriteria approximation algorithm for$$k = \sum _i k_i$$ Multi-Submod-Cover that covers each constraint to within a factor of while incurring an approximation of$$(1-1/e-\varepsilon )$$ in the cost. Second, we consider the special case when each$$O(\frac{1}{\epsilon }\log r)$$ is a obtained from a truncated coverage function and obtain an algorithm that generalizes previous work on partial set cover ($$f_i$$ Partial-SC ), covering integer programs (CIPs ) and multiple vertex cover constraints Bera et al. (Theoret Comput Sci 555:2–8 Bera et al. 2014). Both these algorithms are based on mathematical programming relaxations that avoid the limitations of the greedy algorithm. We demonstrate the implications of our algorithms and related ideas to several applications ranging from geometric covering problems to clustering with outliers. Our work highlights the utility of the high-level model and the lens of submodularity in addressing this class of covering problems. -
A bstract We study
d = 4, ≥ 5 supergravities and their deformation via candidate counterterms, with the purpose to absorb UV divergences. We generalize the earlier studies of deformation and twisted self-duality constraint to the case with unbroken local$$ \mathcal{N} $$ -symmetry in presence of fermions. We find that the deformed action breaks nonlinear local supersymmetry. We show that all known cases of enhanced UV divergence cancellations are explained by nonlinear local supersymmetry.$$ \mathcal{H} $$ This result implies, in particular, that if
= 5 supergravity at five loop will turn out to be UV divergent, the deformed theory will be BRST inconsistent. If it will be finite, it will be a consequence of nonlinear local supersymmetry and E7-type duality.$$ \mathcal{N} $$ -
A trace inequality for Euclidean gravitational path integrals (and a new positive action conjecture)
A bstract The AdS/CFT correspondence states that certain conformal field theories are equivalent to string theories in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. One aspect of the correspondence is an equivalence of density matrices or, if one ignores normalizations, of positive operators. On the CFT side of the correspondence, any two positive operators
A, B will satisfy the trace inequality Tr(AB ) ≤ Tr(A )Tr(B ). This relation holds on any Hilbert space and is deeply associated with the fact that the algebra$$ \mathcal{H} $$ B ( ) of bounded operators on$$ \mathcal{H} $$ is a type I von Neumann factor. Holographic bulk theories must thus satisfy a corresponding condition, which we investigate below. In particular, we argue that the Euclidean gravitational path integral respects this inequality at all orders in the semi-classical expansion and with arbitrary higher-derivative corrections. The argument relies on a conjectured property of the classical gravitational action, which in particular implies a positive action conjecture for quantum gravity wavefunctions. We prove this conjecture for Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity and we also motivate it for more general theories.$$ \mathcal{H} $$
