New-born strings are tensionless

hep-th · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Tensionless strings arise exclusively at birth in the ultra-shrinking limit of a causal diamond worldsheet, revealing a new phase with global ultra-local Carrollian structure.

Entanglement islands, fuzzballs and stretched horizons

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Fuzzball models with stretched horizons modify or eliminate entanglement islands depending on boundary conditions and cap geometry, producing information paradox analogues in some cases.

Effective strings and particles interacting in 3D: the Ising model

hep-th · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In the 3D Ising model, a fluctuating domain wall interacts with bulk particles such that large-distance corrections to free energy and correlation tails are controlled by a single renormalized coupling λ in the nearly on-shell regime.

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$

hep-th · 2025-11-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.

From Horowitz -- Polchinski to Thirring and Back

hep-th · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

New continuation method via affine SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R level variation relates near-Hagedorn black holes and HP solutions to solvable EFT limit of non-abelian Thirring model.

Van der Waals Gravity Theory

gr-qc · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A van der Waals-inspired modification to general relativity renders the gravitational coupling dynamical, providing a mechanism to avoid Big Bang and black hole singularities.

Massive modes on magnetized blow-up manifold of $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_N$

hep-th · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Blow-up of magnetized T²/Z_N preserves total magnetic flux, total curvature, and effective flux on connecting lines, while the number of localized modes at each singularity increases by one per mass level increment.

The degrees of freedom of multiway junctions in three dimensional gravity

hep-th · 2025-09-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

n-way junctions in 3D gravity correspond to n-1 coupled Nambu-Goto strings with Monge-Ampère sources whose degrees of freedom survive the tensionless limit, implying matter-like behavior from pure gravity and perfect reflection of wavepackets in the dual CFT.
