We study correlators of insertions along 1/2 BPS line defects in the holographic dual to type IIB string theory in AdS3×S3×T4 with mixed Ramond-Ramond and Neveu Schwarz-Neveu Schwarz three-form flux.

Understanding the mechanism of thermalization in gauge theories is one of the challenging problems of contemporary research.

Probing low-reheating scenarios with freeze-in dark matter

The feebly-interacting massive particle (FIMP) paradigm offers an intriguing solution to the dark matter (DM) puzzle with FIMPs produced via the freeze-in mechanism due to extremely weak interactions with the standard model (SM) plasma.

SYK wormholes out of equilibrium

In 2 dimensions holographic duality gives the possibility of studying quantum gravity in terms of the dual SYK quantum mechanical theory. A particularly capturing model involves two coupled SYK systems.
