TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new results towards the construction of the most general black hole solutions in four-dimensional Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged supergravities.
Abstract: We present new results towards the construction of the most general black hole solutions in four-dimensional Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged supergravities. In these theories black holes can be asymptotically AdS and have arbitrary mass, angular momentum, electric and magnetic charges and NUT charge. Furthermore, a wide range of horizon topologies is allowed (compact and noncompact) and the complex scalar fields have a non-trivial radial and angular profile. We construct a large class of solutions in the simplest single scalar model with prepotential F = −iX 0 X 1 and discuss their thermodynamics. Moreover, various approaches and calculational tools for facing this problem with more general prepotentials are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the renormalization group flows on the two-dimensional WA and the three-dimensional AdS space were analyzed, and it was shown that the gravity duals are higher spin theories coupled to two equally massive real scalar fields.
Abstract: Recently, Gaberdiel and Gopakumar proposed that the two-dimensional WA N−1 minimal model conformal field theory in the large N ’t Hooft limit is dual to the higher spin theories on the three-dimensional AdS space with two complex scalars. In this paper, we examine this proposal for the $ W{D_{\frac{N}{2}}} $ and $ W{B_{\frac{{N - 1}}{2}}} $ minimal models initiated by Fateev and Lukyanov in 1988. By analyzing the renormalization group flows on these models, we find that the gravity duals in AdS space are higher spin theories coupled to two equally massive real scalar fields. We also describe the large N ’t Hooft limit for the minimal model of the second parafermion theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the semi-classical limit of the OTO four-point function exactly matches with the scattering amplitude obtained from the Dray-t Hooft shockwave.
Abstract: Schwarzian quantum mechanics describes the collective IR mode of the SYK model and captures key features of 2D black hole dynamics. Exact results for its correlation functions were obtained in [1]. We compare these results with bulk gravity expectations. We find that the semi-classical limit of the OTO four-point function exactly matches with the scattering amplitude obtained from the Dray-’t Hooft shockwave $$ \mathcal{S} $$ -matrix. We show that the two point function of heavy operators reduces to the semi-classical saddle-point of the Schwarzian action. We also explain a previously noted match between the OTO four point functions and 2D conformal blocks. Generalizations to higher-point functions are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how reduction on a circle leads to a uniform perspective on the phase structure of the resulting 5D theories, and their possible conformal fixed points.
Abstract: Starting from 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) realized via F-theory, we show how reduction on a circle leads to a uniform perspective on the phase structure of the resulting 5D theories, and their possible conformal fixed points. Using the correspon-dence between F-theory reduced on a circle and M-theory on the corresponding elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold, we show that each 6D SCFT with minimal supersymmetry directly reduces to a collection of between one and four 5D SCFTs. Additionally, we find that in most cases, reduction of the tensor branch of a 6D SCFT yields a 5D generalization of a quiver gauge theory. These two reductions of the theory often correspond to different phases in the 5D theory which are in general connected by a sequence of flop transitions in the extended Kahler cone of the Calabi-Yau threefold. We also elaborate on the structure of the resulting conformal fixed points, and emergent flavor symmetries, as realized by M-theory on a canonical singularity.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative to topologically massive gravity (TMG) with the same "minimal" bulk properties is presented, i.e., a single local degree of freedom that is realized as a massive graviton in linearization about an anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacuum.
Abstract: We present an alternative to topologically massive gravity (TMG) with the same 'minimal' bulk properties; i.e. a single local degree of freedom that is realized as a massive graviton in linearization about an anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacuum. However, in contrast to TMG, the new 'minimal massive gravity' has both a positive energy graviton and positive central charges for the asymptotic AdS-boundary conformal algebra.
