We study the integral Bailey lemma associated with the A_n-root system and identities for elliptic hypergeometric integrals generated thereby. Interpreting integrals as superconformal indices of four-dimensional N = 1 quiver gauge theories with the gauge groups being products of SU(n + 1), we provide evidence for various new dualities. Further con rmation is achieved by explicitly checking that the `t Hooft anomaly matching conditions holds. We discuss a flavour symmetry breaking phenomenon for supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics (SQCD), and by making use of the Bailey lemma we indicate its manifestation in a web of linear quivers dual to SQCD that exhibits full s-confinement.

The charm quark mass is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model Lagrangian. In this work we present a determination of the MSbar charm mass from a fit to the inclusive and charm HERA deep-inelastic structure function data. The analysis is performed within the xFitter framework, with structure functions computed in the FONLL general-mass scheme as implemented in APFEL. In the case of the FONLL-C scheme, we obtain mc(mc) = 1.335 +- 0.043(exp) +0.019 -0.000(param) +0.011 -0.008(mod) +0.033 -0.008(th) GeV. We also perform an analogous determination in the fixed-flavor-number scheme at next-to-leading order, finding mc(mc) = 1.318 +- 0.054(exp) +0.011 -0.010(param) +0.015 -0.019(mod) +0.045 -0.004(th) GeV, compatible with the FONLL-C value. Our results are consistent with previous determinations from DIS data as well as with the PDG world average.

We extend the observations of our previous paper JHEP 1409, 071 (2014) [arXiv:1405.5285]. In particular, we show that the secular growth of the loop corrections to the two--point correlation functions is gauge independent: we observe the same growth in the case of the static gauge for the constant background electric field. Furthermore we solve the kinetic equation describing photon production from the background fields, which was derived in our previous paper and allows one to sum up leading secularly growing corrections from all loops. Finally, we show that in the constant electric field background the one--loop correction to the current of the produced pairs is not zero: it also grows with time and violates time translational and reversal invariance of QED on the constant electric field background.

We consider the AGT correspondence in the context of the conformal field theory M(p, p')\otimes H, where M(p,p') is the minimal model based on the Virasoro algebra labeled by two co-prime integers p,p' and H is the free boson theory based on the Heisenberg algebra. Using Nekrasov's instanton partition functions without modification to compute conformal blocks in M(p, p')\otimes H leads to ill-defined or incorrect expressions.

We propose the procedure to make this expressions are well defined and check these proposal in two cases:  1. 1-point  torus, when the operator insertion is the identity, and   2. The 6-point Ising conforma block on the sphere that involves six Ising magnetic operators.

A bstract We continue our study of the AGT correspondence between instanton counting on ${{{{{\ mathbb {C}}^ 2}}}\ left/{{{{\ mathbb {Z}} _p}}}\ right.}$ and Conformal field theories with the symmetry algebra $\ mathcal {A}\ left ({r, p}\ right)$. In the cases r= 1, p= 2 and r= 2, p= 2 this algebra specialized to: $\ mathcal {A}\ left ({1, 2}\ right)=\ mathcal {H}\ oplus\ widehat {\ mathfrak {sl}}{(2) _1}$ and $\ mathcal {A}\ left ({2, 2}\ right)=\ mathcal {H}\ oplus\ widehat {\ mathfrak {sl}}{(2) _2}\ oplus\ mathrm {NSR}$.

We developed a general non-perturbative framework for the BFKL spectrum of planar N=4 SYM, based on the Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC). It allows one to study the spectrum in the whole generality, extending previously known methods to arbitrary values of conformal spin n. We show how to apply our approach to reproduce all known perturbative results for the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) Pomeron eigenvalue and get new predictions. In particular, we re-derived the Faddeev-Korchemsky Baxter equation for the Lipatov spin chain with non-zero conformal spin reproducing the corresponding BFKL kernel eigenvalue. We also get new non-perturbative analytic results for the Pomeron eigenvalue in the vicinity of |n| = 1Δ = 0 point and we obtained an explicit formula for the BFKL intercept function for arbitrary conformal spin up to the 3-loop order in the small coupling expansion and partial result at the 4-loop order. In addition, we implemented the numerical algorithm of arXiv:1504.06640 as an auxiliary file to this arXiv submission. From the numerical result we managed to deduce an analytic formula for the strong coupling expansion of the intercept function for arbitrary conformal spin.

For an arbitrary generalized quantum integrable spin chain we introduce a “master T-operator” which represents a generating function for commuting quantum transfer matrices constructed by means of the fusion procedure in the auxiliary space. We show that the functional relations for the transfer matrices are equivalent to an infinite set of model-independent bilinear equations of the Hirota form for the master T-operator, which allows one to identify it with tau-function of an integrable hierarchy of classical soliton equations. In this paper we consider spin chains with rational GL(N)-invariant R-matrices but the result is independent of a particular functional form of the transfer matrices and directly applies to quantum integrable models with more general (trigonometric and elliptic) R-matrices and to supersymmetric spin chains.

We discuss the relation between the cluster integrable systems and q-difference Painlevé equations. The Newton polygons corresponding to these integrable systems are all 16 convex polygons with a single interior point. The Painlevé dynamics is interpreted as deautonomization of the discrete flows, generated by a sequence of the cluster quiver mutations, supplemented by permutations of quiver vertices.

We also define quantum q-Painlevé systems by quantization of the corresponding cluster variety. We present formal solution of these equations for the case of pure gauge theory using q-deformed conformal blocks or 5-dimensional Nekrasov functions. We propose, that quantum cluster structure of the Painlevé system provides generalization of the isomonodromy/CFT correspondence for arbitrary central charge.

We develop a recursive approach to computing Neveu-Schwarz conformal blocks associated with n-punctured Riemann surfaces. This work generalizes the results of [1] obtained recently for the Virasoro algebra. The method is based on the analysis of the analytic properties of the superconformal blocks considered as functions of the central charge c. It consists of two main ingredients: the study of the singular behavior of the conformal blocks and the analysis of their asymptotic properties when c tends to infinity. The proposed construction is applicable for computing multi-point blocks in different topologies. We consider some examples for genus zero and one with different numbers of punctures. As a by-product, we propose a new way to solve the recursion relations, which gives more efficient computational procedure and can be applied to SCFT case as well as to pure Virasoro blocks.

The reduction of the duality invariant approach to M-theory by a U-duality group valued Scherk-Schwarz twist is considered. We show that all gaugings of SUGRA can be obtained by dimensional reduction of the extended space.

A search for exclusive or quasi-exclusive γγ → W+W− production, via pp → p(*)W+W−p(*) →p(*)μ±e∓p(*) at s√=8s=8 TeV, is reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Events are selected by requiring the presence of an electron-muon pair with large transverse momentum pT(μ±e∓) > 30 GeV, and no associated charged particles detected from the same vertex. The 8 TeV results are combined with the previous 7 TeV results (obtained for 5.05 fb−1 of data). In the signal region, 13 (2) events are observed over an expected background of 3.9 ± 0.6 (0.84 ± 0.15) events for 8 (7) TeV, resulting in a combined excess of 3.4σ over the background-only hypothesis. The observed yields and kinematic distributions are compatible with the standard model prediction for exclusive and quasi-exclusive γγ → W+W− production. Upper limits on the anomalous quartic gauge coupling operators a0,CW (dimension-6) andfM0,1,2,3 (dimension-8), the most stringent to date, are derived from the measured dilepton transverse momentum spectrum.

We consider the conformal blocks in the theories with extended conformal W-symmetry for the integer Virasoro central charges. We show that these blocks for the generalized twist fields on sphere can be computed exactly in terms of the free field theory on the covering Riemann surface, even for a non-abelian monodromy group. The generalized twist fields are identified with particular primary fields of the W-algebra, and we propose a straightforward way to compute their W-charges. We demonstrate how these exact conformal blocks can be effectively computed using the technique arisen from the gauge theory/CFT correspondence. We discuss also their direct relation with the isomonodromic tau-function for the quasipermutation monodromy data, which can be an encouraging step on the way of definition of generic conformal blocks for W-algebra using the isomonodromy/CFT correspondence.

We provide a contour integral formula for the exact partition function of  N=2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories on compact toric four-manifolds by means of supersymmetric localisation. We perform the explicit evaluation of the contour integral for U(2) N=2* theory on P^2 for all instanton numbers. In the zero mass case, corresponding to the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory, we obtain the generating function of the Euler characteristics of instanton moduli spaces in terms of quasi-modular forms. In the decoupling limit of infinite mass we find that the generating function of local and surface observables computes equivariant Donaldson invariants, thus proving in this case a long-standing conjecture by N. Nekrasov. In the case of vanishing first Chern class the resulting equivariant Donaldson polynomials are new.

We construct Exceptional Field Theory for the group SO(5, 5) based on the extended (6+16)-dimensional spacetime, which after reduction gives the maximal D = 6 supergravity. We present both a true action and a duality-invariant pseudo-action formulations. All the fields of the theory depend on the complete extended spacetime. The U-duality group SO(5, 5) is made a geometric symmetry of the theory by virtue of introducing the generalised Lie derivative that incorporates a duality transformation. Tensor hierarchy appears as a natural consequence of the algebra of generalised Lie derivatives that are viewed as gauge transformations. Upon truncating different subsets of the extra coordinates, maximal supergravities in D = 11 and D = 10 (type IIB) can be recovered from this theory. © 2015, The Author(s).

We construct the supersymmetric completion of E_{6(6)}-covariant exceptional field theory. The theory is based on a (5+27)-dimensional generalized space-time subject to a covariant section constraint. The fermions are tensors under the local Lorentz group {\rm SO}(1,4)\times {\rm USp}(8) and transform as weighted scalars under the E_{6(6)} (internal) generalized diffeomorphisms. We present the complete Lagrangian and prove its invariance under supersymmetry. Upon explicit solution of the section constraint the theory embeds full D=11 supergravity and IIB supergravity, respectively.

A flavour-tagged decay-time-dependent amplitude analysis of B s 0  → (K+π−)(Kπ+) decays is presented in the K±π∓ mass range from 750 to 1600MeV/c2. The analysis uses pp collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1. Several quasi-two-body decay modes are considered, corresponding to K±π∓ combinations with spin 0, 1 and 2, which are dominated by the K 0 *(800)0 and K 0 * (1430)0, the K*(892)0 and the K 2 * (1430)0 resonances, respectively. The longitudinal polarisation fraction for the B0s→K∗(892)∘K∗(892)0Bs0→K∗(892)∘K¯∗(892)0 decay is measured as fL = 0.208 ± 0.032 ± 0.046, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The first measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase, ϕdd⎯⎯⎯⎯sϕsdd¯, in b→dd⎯⎯⎯sb→dd¯s transitions is performed, yielding a value of ϕdd⎯⎯⎯⎯s=−0.10±0.13(stat)±0.14ϕsdd¯=−0.10±0.13(stat)±0.14 (syst) rad.

Direct and mixing-induced $C\!P$-violating asymmetries in $B^0_s \to K^+K^-$ decays are measured for the first time using a data sample of $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $7~\mathrm{TeV}$. The results are $C_{KK} = 0.14 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.03$ and $S_{KK} = 0.30 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.04$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The corresponding quantities are also determined for $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays to be $C_{\pi\pi} = -0.38 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.02$ and $S_{\pi\pi} = -0.71 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.02$, in good agreement with existing measurements
