In this review, after a general introduction to the effective string theory (EST) description of confinement in pure gauge theories, we discuss the behaviour of EST as the temperature is increased. We show that, as the deconfinement point is approached from below, several universal features of confining gauge theories, like the ratio Tc/σ0, the linear increase of the squared width of the flux tube with the interquark distance, or the temperature dependence of the interquark potential, can be accurately predicted by the effective string. Moreover, in the vicinity of the deconfinement point the EST behaviour turns out to be in good agreement with what was predicted by conformal invariance or by dimensional reduction, thus further supporting the validity of an EST approach to confinement.

Abstract We construct a family of 4d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 theories that we call $$ {E}_{\rho}^{\sigma } $$ E ρ σ [USp(2N)] which exhibit a novel type of 4d IR duality very reminiscent of the mirror duality enjoyed by the 3d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 $$ {T}_{\rho}^{\sigma } $$ T ρ σ [SU(N)] theories. We obtain the $$ {E}_{\rho}^{\sigma } $$ E ρ σ [USp(2N)] theories from the recently introduced E[USp(2N )] theory, by following the RG flow initiated by vevs labelled by partitions ρ and σ for two operators transforming in the antisymmetric representations of the USp(2N) × USp(2N) IR symmetries of the E[USp(2N)] theory. These vevs are the 4d uplift of the ones we turn on for the moment maps of T[SU(N)] to trigger the flow to $$ {T}_{\rho}^{\sigma } $$ T ρ σ [SU(N)]. Indeed the E[USp(2N)] theory, upon dimensional reduction and suitable real mass deformations, reduces to the T[SU(N)] theory. In order to study the RG flows triggered by the vevs we develop a new strategy based on the duality webs of the T[SU(N)] and E[USp(2N)] theories.

Abstract An important open question in black hole thermodynamics is about the existence of a “mass gap” between an extremal black hole and the lightest near-extremal state within a sector of fixed charge. In this paper, we reliably compute the partition function of Reissner-Nordström near-extremal black holes at temperature scales comparable to the conjectured gap. We find that the density of states at fixed charge does not exhibit a gap; rather, at the expected gap energy scale, we see a continuum of states. We compute the partition function in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, keeping track of all the fields appearing through a dimensional reduction on S2 in the near-horizon region. Our calculation shows that the relevant degrees of freedom at low temperatures are those of 2d Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to the electromagnetic U(1) gauge field and to an SO(3) gauge field generated by the dimensional reduction.

Abstract We study de Sitter configurations in ten-dimensional string models where supersymmetry is either absent or broken at the string scale. To this end, we derive expressions for the cosmological constant in general warped flux compactifications with localized sources, which yield no-go theorems that extend previous works on supersymmetric cases. We frame our results within a dimensional reduction and connect them to a number of Swampland conjectures, corroborating them further in the absence of supersymmetry. Furthermore, we construct a top-down string embedding of de Sitter brane-world cosmologies within unstable anti-de Sitter landscapes, providing a concrete realization of a recently revisited proposal.

Variable Approach

We continue the discussion of our previous paper on writing down gauge-invariant interacting equations for a bosonic string using the loop variable approach. In the earlier paper the equations were written down in one higher dimension where the fields are massless. In this paper we describe a procedure for dimensional reduction that gives interacting equations for fields with the same spectrum as in bosonic string theory. We also argue that the on-shell scattering amplitudes implied by these equations for the physical modes are the same as for the bosonic string. We check this explicitly for some of the simpler equations. The gauge transformation of space–time fields induced by gauge transformations of the loop variables are discussed in some detail. The unintegrated (i.e. before the Koba–Nielsen integration), regularized version of the equations, are gauge invariant off-shell (i.e. off the free mass shell).
