Scattering forms and the positive geometry of kinematics, color and the worldsheet

N Arkani-Hamed, Y Bai, S He, G Yan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract The search for a theory of the S-Matrix over the past five decades has revealed
surprising geometric structures underlying scattering amplitudes ranging from the string …

Scattering amplitudes from intersection theory

S Mizera - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We use Picard-Lefschetz theory to prove a new formula for intersection numbers of twisted
cocycles associated with a given arrangement of hyperplanes. In a special case when this …

Boosting to BMS

A Bagchi, A Banerjee, H Muraki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries, or equivalently Conformal Carroll
symmetries, are intrinsically associated to null manifolds and in two dimensions can be …

Combinatorics and topology of Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations

S Mizera - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the relations between open and closed string scattering amplitudes
discovered by Kawai, Lewellen, and Tye (KLT). We show that they emerge from the un …

Worldsheet formalism for decoupling limits in string theory

J Gomis, Z Yan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study the bosonic sector of a decoupling limit of type IIA superstring theory,
where a background Ramond-Ramond one-form is fined tuned to its critical value, such that …

Nonrelativistic approximations of closed bosonic string theory

J Hartong, E Have - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We further develop the string 1/c 2 expansion of closed bosonic string theory,
where c is the speed of light. The expansion will be performed up to and including the next …

Carroll covariant scalar fields in two dimensions

A Bagchi, A Banerjee, S Dutta, KS Kolekar… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Conformal Carroll symmetry generically arises on null manifolds and is important
for holography of asymptotically flat spacetimes, generic black hole horizons and …

Unification of Decoupling Limits in String and M Theory

CDA Blair, J Lahnsteiner, NAJ Obers, Z Yan - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We study and extend the duality web unifying different decoupling limits of type II superstring
theories and M theory. We systematically build connections to different corners, such as …

Exact approaches on the string worldsheet

S Demulder, S Driezen, B Knighton… - Journal of Physics A …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We review different exact approaches to string theory. In the context of the Green–Schwarz
superstring, we discuss the action in curved backgrounds and its supercoset formulation …

BMS-invariant free scalar model

P Hao, W Song, X Xie, Y Zhong - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The BMS (Bondi–van der Burg–Metzner–Sachs) symmetry arises as the asymptotic
symmetry of flat spacetime at null infinity. In particular, the BMS algebra for three …
