We define Modular Linear Differential Equations (MLDE) for the level-two congruence subgroups $Gamma_vartheta$, $Gamma^0(2)$ and $Gamma_0(2)$ of $text{SL}_2(mathbb Z)$. Each subgroup corresponds to one of the spin structures on the torus. The pole structures of the fermionic MLDEs are investigated by exploiting the valence formula for the level-two congruence subgroups. We focus on the first and second order holomorphic MLDEs without poles and use them to find a large class of `Fermionic Rational Conformal Field Theories', which have non-negative integer coefficients in the $q$-series expansion of their characters. We study the detailed properties of these fermionic RCFTs, some of which are supersymmetric. This work also provides a starting point for the classification of the fermionic Modular Tensor Category.

Motivated by particle phyiscs results, we investigate certain dyonic solutions in arbitrary dimensions. Concretely, we study the stringy constructions of such objects from concrete compactifications. Then we elaborate their tensor network realizations using multistate particle formalism.

We study the vacuum fluctuations of a quantum scalar field in the presence of a thin and inhomogeneous flat mirror, modelled with a delta potential. Using Heat-Kernel techniques, we evaluate the Euclidean effective action perturbatively in the inhomogeneities (nonperturbatively in the constant background). We show that the divergences can be absorbed into a local counterterm, and that the remaining finite part is in general a nonlocal functional of the inhomogeneities, which we compute explicitly for massless fields in $D=4$ dimensions. For time-independent inhomogeneities, the effective action gives the Casimir self-energy for a partially transmitting mirror. For time-dependent inhomogeneites, the Wick-rotated effective action gives the probability of particle creation due to the dynamical Casimir effect.

We further explore a recent proposal that the vector mesons in QCD have a special role as Chern-Simons fields on various QCD objects such as domain walls and the one flavored baryons. We compute contributions to domain wall theories and to the baryon current coming from a generalized Wess-Zumino term including vector mesons. The conditions that lead to the expected Chern-Simons terms and the correct spectrum of baryons, coincide with the conditions for vector meson dominance. This observation provides a theoretical explanation to the phenomenological principle of vector dominance, as well as an experimental evidence for the identification of vector mesons as the Chern-Simons fields. By deriving the Chern-Simons theories directly from an action, we obtain new results about QCD domain walls. One conclusion is the existence of a first order phase transition between domain walls as a function of the quarks' masses. We also discuss applications of our results to Seiberg duality between gluons and vector mesons and provide new evidence supporting the duality.

We study a two-loop finiteness of an effective potential for a Higgs boson that is the fifth component of a gauge field in an $U(1)$ gauge theory coupled to quantum gravity on the five-dimensional space-time $M^4times S^1$. There are two types of diagrams including quantum gravitational corrections. We find that only one type of diagram contributes to the effective potential for the Higgs boson in fact and its magnitude is finite.

Curvature tensors of higher-spin gauge theories have been known for some time. In the past, they were postulated using a generalization of the symmetry properties of the Riemann tensor (curl on each index of a totally symmetric rank-$n$ field for each spin-$n$). For this reason they are sometimes referred to as the generalized 'Riemann' tensors. In this article, a method for deriving these curvature tensors from first principles is presented; the derivation is completed without any a priori knowledge of the existence of the Riemann tensors or the curvature tensors of higher-spin gauge theories. To perform this derivation, a recently developed procedure for deriving exactly gauge invariant Lagrangian densities from quadratic combinations of $N$ order of derivatives and $M$ rank of tensor potential is applied to the $N = M = n$ case under the spin-$n$ gauge transformations. This procedure uniquely yields the Lagrangian for classical electrodynamics in the $N = M = 1$ case and the Lagrangian for higher derivative gravity (`Riemann' and `Ricci' squared terms) in the $N = M = 2$ case. It is proven here by direct calculation for the $N = M = 3$ case that the unique solution to this procedure is the spin-3 curvature tensor and its contractions. The spin-4 curvature tensor is also uniquely derived for the $N = M = 4$ case. In other words, it is proven here that, for the most general linear combination of scalars built from $N$ derivatives and $M$ rank of tensor potential, up to $N=M=4$, there exists a unique solution to the resulting system of linear equations as the contracted spin-$n$ curvature tensors. Conjectures regarding the solutions to the higher spin-$n$ $N = M = n$ are discussed.
高自旋规范理论的曲率张量已经被发现有一段时间了。在过去,它们是使用黎曼张量的对称性质的一般化来假设的(完全对称的秩-$n$场的每个指标上的旋度对于每个自旋-$n$)。由于这个原因,它们有时被称为广义黎曼张量。本文给出了一种从第一性原理推导曲率张量的方法;推导是在没有黎曼张量或高自旋规范理论的曲率张量存在的先验知识的情况下完成的。为了进行这一推导,我们将最近发展的一种方法应用于自旋-$ N$规范变换下的$N$阶导数和$M$阶张量势的二次组合中精确地推导出规范不变拉格朗日密度。这个过程唯一地产生了N = M = 1$情况下经典电动力学的拉格朗日量和N = M = 2$情况下高导数引力的拉格朗日量(“黎曼”和“里奇”平方项)。这里通过直接计算证明了$N = M = 3$的情况下,这个过程的唯一解是自旋-3曲率张量及其收缩。自旋-4曲率张量也是在$N = M = 4$的情况下唯一导出的。换句话说,这里证明了,对于由$N$导数和$M$阶张量势构成的最一般的标量线性组合,直到$N=M=4$,作为收缩自旋-$ N$曲率张量的线性方程组存在唯一解。讨论了关于高自旋-$n$ n = M = n$解的猜想。

In this paper we study through tunneling formalism, the effect of noncommutativity to Hawking radiation and the entropy of the noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole. In our model we have considered the noncommutativity implemented via the Lorentzian distribution. We obtain non-commutative corrections to the Hawking temperature using the Hamilton-Jacobi method and the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation. In addition, we found corrections of the logarithmic and other types due to noncommutativity and quantum corrections from the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) for the entropy of the Schwarzschild black hole.

It has been shown that scalar fields can form gravitationally bound compact objects called boson stars. In this study, we analyze boson star configurations where the scalar fields contain a small amount of angular momentum and find two new classes of solutions. In the first case all particles are in the same slowly rotating state and in the second case the majority of particles are in the non-rotating ground state and a small number of particles are in an excited rotating state. In both cases, we solve the underlying Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations that describe the profile of these compact objects both numerically as well as analytically through series expansions.
