The eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator on spheres and real hyperbolic spaces of arbitrary dimension are computed by separating variables in geodesic polar coordinates. These eigenfunctions are used to derive the heat kernel of the iterated Dirac operator on these spaces. They are then studied as cross sections of homogeneous vector bundles, and a group-theoretic derivation of the spinor spherical functions and heat kernel is given based on Harish-Chandra's formula for the radial part of the Casimir operator.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A spectral cutoff RG flow on S^3 realizes the Wilson-Fisher universality class with one relevant direction and critical exponents close to flat-space values.

  2. Moduli Spaces in CFT: Large Charge Operators

    hep-th 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    CFTs with broken continuous global symmetry on the moduli space require a tower of charged local operators whose scaling dimensions are asymptotically linear in the charge.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Fermionic tidal Love numbers for D-dimensional RN black holes remain nonzero for all angular momentum l (except extremal cases) and lose their l-dependence as D grows to infinity.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Negative curvature sustains tracker-like radion evolution in a 5D open FRW universe, enabling trapping into a compactified vacuum via Casimir and Kaluza-Klein thermal effects before 4D inflation dilutes curvature remnants.

    In an anisotropic holographic model of 3D QCD, hadronic systems become unstable when anisotropy exceeds the confinement energy scale, with dragging terms essential for transport properties.
