The N=2 superconformal bootstrap (2016)
Journal Article
Beem, C., Lemos, M., Liendo, P., Rastelli, L., & van Rees, B. (2016). The N=2 superconformal bootstrap. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(3), Article 183. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282016%29183

In this work we initiate the conformal bootstrap program for N=2N=2 super-conformal field theories in four dimensions. We promote an abstract operator-algebraic viewpoint in order to unify the description of Lagrangian and non-Lagrangian theories, an... Read More about The N=2 superconformal bootstrap.

Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence (2016)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Brock, W., Caiado, C., & O'Brien, M. (2016). Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371(1692), Article 20150154. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0154

Discrete choice, coupled with social influence, plays a significant role in evolutionary studies of human fertility, as investigators explore how and why reproductive decisions are made. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of soci... Read More about Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence.

The production of a diphoton resonance via photon-photon fusion (2016)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2016). The production of a diphoton resonance via photon-photon fusion. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(3), Article 182. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282016%29182

Motivated by the recent LHC observation of an excess of diphoton events around an invariant mass of 750GeV, we discuss the possibility that this is due to the decay of a new scalar or pseudoscalar resonance dominantly produced via photon-photon fusio...

Three-dimensional super Yang-Mills with compressible quark matter (2016)
Journal Article
Faedo, A. F., Kundu, A., Mateos, D., Pantelidou, C., & Tarrío, J. (2016). Three-dimensional super Yang-Mills with compressible quark matter. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(3), Article 154. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282016%29154

We construct the gravity dual of three-dimensional, SU(Nc) super Yang-Mills theory with Nf flavors of dynamical quarks in the presence of a non-zero quark density Nq. The supergravity solutions include the backreaction of Nc color D2-branes and Nf fl... Read More about Three-dimensional super Yang-Mills with compressible quark matter.

Simulations of Solar Jets Confined by Coronal Loops (2016)
Journal Article
Wyper, P., & DeVore, C. (2016). Simulations of Solar Jets Confined by Coronal Loops. Astrophysical Journal, 820(1), Article 77. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/820/1/77

Coronal jets are collimated, dynamic events that occur over a broad range of spatial scales in the solar corona. In the open magnetic field of coronal holes, jets form quasi-radial spires that can extend far out into the heliosphere, while in closed-...

Minimally packed phases in holography (2016)
Journal Article
Donos, A., & Gauntlett, J. (2016). Minimally packed phases in holography. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(3), Article 148. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282016%29148

We numerically construct asymptotically AdS black brane solutions of D = 4 Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to a pseudoscalar. The solutions are holographically dual to d = 3 CFTs at finite chemical potential and in a constant magnetic field, which sp... Read More about Minimally packed phases in holography.

Breaking integrability at the boundary: the sine-Gordon model with Robin boundary conditions (2016)
Journal Article
Arthur, R., Dorey, P., & Parini, R. (2016). Breaking integrability at the boundary: the sine-Gordon model with Robin boundary conditions. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 49(16), Article 165205. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/49/16/165205

We explore boundary scattering in the sine-Gordon model with a non-integrable family of Robin boundary conditions. The soliton content of the field after collision is analysed using a numerical implementation of the direct scattering problem associat...

Scalar 3-point functions in CFT: renormalisation, beta functions and anomalies (2016)
Journal Article
Bzowski, A., McFadden, P., & Skenderis, K. (2016). Scalar 3-point functions in CFT: renormalisation, beta functions and anomalies. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(03), Article 066. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282016%29066

We present a comprehensive discussion of renormalisation of 3-point functions of scalar operators in conformal field theories in general dimension. We have previously shown that conformal symmetry uniquely determines the momentum-space 3-point functi...

Domino statistics of the two-periodic Aztec diamond (2016)
Journal Article
Chhita, S., & Johansson, K. (2016). Domino statistics of the two-periodic Aztec diamond. Advances in Mathematics, 294, 37-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aim.2016.02.025

Random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond shape exhibit interesting features and some of the statistical properties seen in random matrix theory. As a statistical mechanical model it can be thought of as a dimer model or as a certain random surface.... Read More about Domino statistics of the two-periodic Aztec diamond.
