Soft factorization in QED from 2D Kac-Moody symmetry

Journal Article Nande, Anjalika ; Pate, Monica ; Strominger, Andrew - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The soft factorization theorem for 4D abelian gauge theory states that the S -matrix factorizes into soft and hard parts, with the universal soft part containing all soft and collinear poles. Similarly, correlation functions on the sphere in a 2D CFT with a U(1) Kac-Moody current algebra factorize into current algebra and non-current algebra factors, with the current algebra factor fully determined by its pole structure. In this paper, we show that these 4D and 2D factorizations are mathematically the same phenomena. The soft ‘t Hooft-Wilson lines and soft photons are realized as a complexified 2D current algebra on the celestial sphere at null infinity. The current algebra level is determined by the cusp anomalous dimension. The associated complex U(1) boson lives on a torus whose modular parameter is τ=more »« less

Anomalies, renormalization group flows, and the a-theorem in six-dimensional (1, 0) theories

Journal Article Córdova, Clay ; Dumitrescu, Thomas T. ; Intriligator, Kenneth - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We establish a linear relation between the a-type Weyl anomaly and the ’t Hooft anomaly coeffcients for the R-symmetry and gravitational anomalies in sixdimensional (1,0) superconformal field theories. For RG flows onto the tensor branch, where conformal symmetry is spontaneously broken, supersymmetry relates the anomaly mismatch Δa to the square of a four-derivative interaction for the dilaton. This establishes the a-theorem for all such flows. The four-derivative dilaton interaction is in turn related to the Green-Schwarz-like terms that are needed to match the ’t Hooft anomalies on the tensor branch, thus fixing their relation to Δa. We use our formulamore »« less

A d-dimensional stress tensor for Mink _d+2 gravity

Journal Article Kapec, Daniel ; Mitra, Prahar - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We consider the tree-level scattering of massless particles in (d+2)-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes. The $S$ -matrix elements are recast as correlation functions of local operators living on a space-like cut $M$ _d of the null momentum cone. The Lorentz group SO(d + 1, 1) is nonlinearly realized as the Euclidean conformal group on $M$ _d. Operators of non-trivial spin arise from massless particles transforming in non-trivial representations of the little group SO(d), and distinguished operators arise from the soft-insertions of gauge bosons and gravitons. The leading soft-photon operator is the shadow transform of a conserved spin-one primary operator J _a,more »« less

4D scattering amplitudes and asymptotic symmetries from 2D CFT

Journal Article Cheung, Clifford ; de la Fuente, Anton ; Sundrum, Raman - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We reformulate the scattering amplitudes of 4D at space gauge theory and gravity in the language of a 2D CFT on the celestial sphere. The resulting CFT structure exhibits an OPE constructed from 4D collinear singularities, as well as infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras encoding the asymptotic symmetries of 4D at space. We derive these results by recasting 4D dynamics in terms of a convenient foliation of flat space into 3D Euclidean AdS and Lorentzian dS geometries. Tree-level scattering amplitudes take the form of Witten diagrams for a continuum of (A)dS modes, which are in turn equivalent to CFT correlatorsmore »« less

IIB supergravity and the E ₆₍₆₎ covariant vector-tensor hierarchy

Journal Article Ciceri, Franz ; de Wit, Bernard ; Varela, Oscar - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

IIB supergravity is reformulated with a manifest local USp(8) invariance that makes the embedding of five-dimensional maximal supergravities transparent. In this formulation the ten-dimensional theory exhibits all the 27 one-form fields and 22 of the 27 two-form fields that are required by the vector-tensor hierarchy of the five-dimensional theory. The missing 5 two-form fields must transform in the same representation as a descendant of the ten-dimensional ‘dual graviton’. The invariant E ₆₍₆₎ symmetric tensor that appears in the vector-tensor hierarchy is reproduced. Generalized vielbeine are derived from the supersymmetry transformations of the vector fields, as well as consistent expressions formore »« less
