Summary: This article investigates the properties of the M2-M5 brane system as a black M2-M5 bound state, with a focus on the behavior of the system at short distances and the effects of quantum gravitational corrections. The quantum work for this solution is obtained using the Jarzynski equality, and the corrections to the thermodynamic stability of the system from quantum gravitational corrections are studied. The concept of a novel quantum mass is used to analyze the quantum gravitational corrections to the information geometry of the system.

Summary: Enumerating the number and properties of string vacua is crucial for understanding their possibilities and universality. In this study, we successfully counted the distinct intersecting brane vacua in a specific scenario using dynamic programming. The distribution of certain characteristics of these vacua was also presented. These methods can be applied to other corners of the landscape.

Summary: In this study, six-point string amplitudes for the scattering of different states in D-brane-anti-D-brane systems in Type II superstring theories were computed, and the precise form and numerical coefficients of the couplings were derived, modifying and completing previous proposals. The study confirmed that the effective field theory reproduced the stringy gauge field singularities in dual channels. Additionally, a proposal for tensionless limits of D-brane-anti-D-brane systems was made based on interesting similarities between all-order highly symmetric EFTs and holographic duals of Vasiliev's higher spin gravities.

Summary: We construct a new family of AdS(2) x S-2 x S-2 solutions by applying non-Abelian T-duality on a recent class of solutions. A particular solution in this class is connected to an AdS5 Gaiotto-Maldacena geometry and has a line defect interpretation in the dual 4d N = 2 SCFT, which is studied in detail. This construction provides an example of the successful applications of non-Abelian T-duality to holography.

Summary: In Dp-brane holography, entanglement in the target space of the D-brane Yang-Mills theory offers a precise notion of bulk entanglement in the gravity dual. The discussion expands by introducing a gauge invariant characterization of operator sub-algebras corresponding to such entanglement. Additionally, motivation is provided for why these operator sub-algebras are suitable for describing measurements carried out with low-energy probes in the bulk region of interest.

Summary: This paper discusses 3D brane webs and effective Chern-Simons levels for 3D N=2 gauge theories. It is found that introducing real masses for chiral multiplets leads to equivalent brane webs that can be related by flipping positions of D5-branes. These flips are interpreted as ST-transformations for chiral multiplets, which can turn abelian theories into dual theories with mixed Chern-Simons levels. Each brane web corresponds to a quiver matrix C-ij encoding DT-invariants. The paper also discusses ST-transformations of holomorphic blocks and the movement of flavor D5-branes, which leads to double-layer brane webs and fiber-base duality.

Summary: This work explores the connection between reflexive polytopes and gauge theories in dimensions and reveals a duality between the generators of the mesonic moduli space and the dual reflexive polytope. The findings highlight the close relationship between geometry and gauge theory and provide new avenues for research in the field of reflexive polytopes and brane brick models.

Summary: In this study, we explore different (supersymmetric) brane intersections that preserve (1 + 1)D Lorentz symmetry in type IIB string theory. We provide full supergravity solutions in analytic form and discuss their physical properties. By going beyond the harmonic superposition principle in the spacetime dependence of brane warp factors, we construct interesting classes of AdS(3) vacua and discuss their holographic properties.

Summary: This article uses the Hamiltonian formulation for nonlinear chiral 2-form electrodynamics in six-dimensional Minkowski spacetime to demonstrate that small-amplitude plane-wave perturbations of a generic uniform constant 'magnetic' background exhibit trirefringence. The dispersion relations for all three independent wave-polarisations are distinct. The unique coincidence of all three dispersion relations is observed in the chiral 2-form theory on the worldvolume of the M5-brane of M-theory, as waves propagate in a planar M5-M2-M2 bound-state preserving 16 supersymmetries. Similar results are also implied for nonlinear electrodynamics in five and four dimensions in Minkowski spacetime.

Summary: We investigated non-perturbative effects in supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories in eight dimensions through D(-1)/D7-brane systems with non-trivial world-volume fluxes. The action for open strings ending on the D(-1)-branes, derived using explicit string construction in terms of vertex operators, exhibits its BRST structure. The non-perturbative corrections in the eight-dimensional theory are computed via localization and depend on the curved background, reducing to weighted sums of solid partitions of integers for specific background choices.

Summary: This study focuses on confinement in 4d N = 1 theories obtained by deforming 4d N = 2 theories of Class S. The researchers argue that confinement in a vacuum of the N = 1 theory can be encoded in the 1-cycles of the associated N = 1 curve. They reproduce the expected properties of confinement in classic examples and provide tools for probing confinement in non-Lagrangian N = 1 theories.

Summary: We explore the Higgs branch of 5d fixed points engineered using brane webs with an O7(+)-plane, proposing rules to extract magnetic quivers and calculating the Coulomb branch Hilbert series of these quivers. In some cases, alternative magnetic quivers can be obtained using ordinary brane webs or brane webs with an O5-plane, with a matching Hilbert series found.

Summary: This study reexpresses the integrated correlator of four superconformal stress-tensor primaries of N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory as a two-dimensional lattice sum, which is shown to be invariant under SL (2, Z) S duality. The lattice sum is proven to satisfy a novel Laplace equation in the complex coupling constant z, connecting the SU(N) integrated correlator to those of the SU(N + 1) and SU(N - 1) theories. It accurately reproduces both perturbative and nonperturbative properties of N = 4 SYM for any finite N, as well as extending previously conjectured properties of the large-N expansion.

Summary: New Poincare-series representations have been derived for infinite families of non-holomorphic modular invariant functions, including modular graph forms in the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes at genus one. These series are constructed from iterated integrals over single holomorphic Eisenstein series and their complex conjugates, decorated by suitable combinations of zeta values. The Poincare sums over depth-one integrals extending beyond modular graph forms are described in terms of iterated integrals over holomorphic cusp forms and their L-values in a companion paper.

Summary: The exact expressions for integrated maximal U(1)(Y) violating (MUV) n-point correlators in SU(N) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory have been determined using supersymmetric localisation. These integrated correlators satisfy Laplace-difference equations and can be expressed as infinite sums of Eisenstein modular forms.

Summary: This article provides exact expressions for certain integrated correlators of four superconformal primary operators in the stress tensor multiplet of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, extending previous results for the SU(N) gauge group and consistent with Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality. The action of the hyperbolic Laplace operator relates integrated correlators for different gauge groups, and perturbation expansions agree with properties from perturbative Yang-Mills quantum field theory.

Summary: Modular graph functions are important in calculating the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes. In this study, we investigate their properties on toroidal world-sheets and use methods from resurgent analysis to construct non-perturbative corrections for two-loop modular graph functions approaching the cusp on the moduli space. The SL(2, Z)-invariance strongly constrains the behavior of the non-perturbative sector when expanded at the origin of the moduli space.

Summary: The use of supersymmetric localisation has led to modular covariant expressions for integrated correlators of half-BPS operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a general classical gauge group. Generating functions for such integrated correlators have been determined, confirming previously conjectured formulae. This provides a systematic understanding of the relation between properties of these correlators at finite N and their expansions at large N, including a non-perturbative completion of the large-N expansion in terms of non-holomorphic modular functions.

Summary: This work explores the application of supersymmetric localization in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. By combining lattice sum representation with Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality, a unified two-dimensional lattice sum representation applicable to all simple gauge groups is provided. Formulas are proposed for both perturbative and non-perturbative expansions for simple gauge groups and common backgrounds. In addition, new results regarding exceptional gauge groups are obtained by deriving Laplace equations for the integrated correlators.

Summary: In this paper, we continue the analysis of modular invariant functions subject to inhomogeneous Laplace eigenvalue equations. We find that these functions can be expressed in terms of iterated integrals of Eisenstein series and that the set of iterated integrals needs to be extended to include iterated integrals of holomorphic cusp forms in order to find expressions for all modular invariant functions of depth two.
