The IKKT matrix model is a candidate for the non-perturbative formalization of superstring theory in 10 dimension. This model suggests that the (9+1)-dimensional Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken and (3+1)-dimensional space-time emerges. However, the sign problem is the main obstacle to the numerical analysis of this model. Recently, numerical studies has been conducted by complex...
The IKKT matrix model was conjectured to provide a non-perturbative definition of the type IIB string theory. One of the most attractive features of this model is that spacetime emerges dynamically by interpreting the matrix degrees of freedom as ten-dimensional spacetime coordinates. There have been many numerical simulations suggesting the appearance of (3+1)-dimensional expanding universe....
Since Gaiotto et.~al discussed the low-energy dynamics of gauge theories on the basis of the mixed โt Hooft anomaly between discrete and higher-form symmetries, this type of application of the anomaly has been studied vigorously. In this study, in order to understand this type of application of the anomaly in a completely regularized framework, we formulate the fractional topological charge...
We consider the phase structure of the linear quiver gauge theory, using the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition. This theory is characterized by the length
Recent studies on the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition for 4D SU(
Generalized thimble method is one of powerful methods to overcome the sign problem in numerical simulations. We point out that the method has a subtle property when applied to a nearly continuum system. The point is that solutions of the flow equation generically show exponential behavior, and the growing rates largely differ depending on the modes. It implies the ranges of the flow time...
We propose a lattice fermion formulation with a curved domain-wall mass term as a nonperturbative regularization of quantum field theory in a gravitational background. In KEK-TH 2021 last year, we reported that the edge-localized modes appear on the curved domain-wall in free fermion theory on a square lattice, and they feel gravity through the induced spin and spin-c connections. We...
Inside topological insulators or in the theta=pi vacuum, magnetic monopoles gain fractional electric charges, which is known as the Witten effect. In this work, we try to give a microscopic description for this phenomenon, solving a "negatively" massive Dirac equation. The "Wilson term" plays a key role in 1) identifying the sign of the fermion mass, 2) confirming evidence for dynamical...
We study the periodic complex action theory (CAT) by imposing a periodic condition in the future-included CAT where the time integration is performed from the past to the future, and extend a normalized matrix element of an operator O, which is called the weak value in the real action theory, to another expression. We present two theorems stating that the expression becomes real for O being...
The linear differential system of the
The MERA has attracted attention as a model that describes the geometry that emerges from boundary theory. Its continuous version, the cMERA, is expected to be a method to derive geometry directly from a continuous theory. In free field theories, the cMERA was successfully constructed based on the variational method. However, from the holographic point of view, it is crucial to construct the...
We propose a fluid model of self-gravitating strings. It is expected that black holes turn into strings around the end of black hole evaporation. The transition will occur near the Hagedorn temperature. After the transition, strings would form a bound state by the self-gravitation. Horowitz and Polchinski formulated a model of self-gravitating strings by using winding strings wrapping on the...
Krylov complexity is a measure of operator growth that is considered to capture quantum chaos in lattice systems. We study the Krylov complexity and Lanczos coefficients of free scalar theories and their perturbative theories in the continuum limit. In particular, we discuss the effects of mass, hard UV cutoff, thermal mass, and perturbative interactions.
It is known that the partition function of ABJM theory, the 3d Chern-Simons matter theory on N M2-branes probing
We propose a systematic way of obtaining 6d Seiberg-Witten curves from Type IIB 5-brane webs with or without orientifold planes, by generalizing the construction of 5d Seiberg-Witten curves from 5-brane webs. We apply our construction to two kinds of theories: 6d E-string theory and little string theory. In particular, the expression of Seiberg-Witten curve for the E-string theory...
We axiomatize rational massless renormalization group flow as Kan extension.
In 1973, Yoichiro Nambu published a GHD paper(titled Generalized Hamitonian Dynamics). This paper was the beginning of what is now known as Nambu dynamics. Nambu dynamics is the generalization of Hamiltonian dynamics involving multiple Hamiltonians, and has applications to string theory and fluid dynamics. In this talk, We will present our successful formulation of Nambu dynamics...
We study the impacts of matter field Kaehler metric on physical Yukawa couplings in string compactifications. Since the Kaehler metric is non-trivial in general, the kinetic mixing of matter fields opens a new avenue for realizing a hierarchical structure of physical Yukawa couplings, even when holomorphic Yukawa couplings have the trivial structure. The hierarchical Yukawa couplings...
