AbstractMany instances have recently been found on the intriguing interplay between string landscape and algebraic geometry via the swampland program. In this talk, we will exemplify such an interplay. Specifically, by addressing universal properties of compact elliptic Calabi-Yau (d+1)-folds, we will test out some of the swampland conjectures for all possible effective QFT models of F-theory i...
AbstractTTbar is a solvable irrelevant deformation that leads to interesting properties such as nonlocality. When applied to a CFT, the effects of TTbar can be studied via cutoff and glue-on holography. In this talk, we will first introduce the glue-on geometry, which reveals many interesting features of TTbar deformed CFTs that were previously inaccessible through cutoff holography. We then in...
