Dyonic giant magnons
We study the classical spectrum of string theory on AdS5 ? S5 in the Hofman-Maldacena limit. We find a family of classical solutions corresponding to Giant Magnons with two independent angular momenta on S5. These solutions are related via Pohlmeyer's reduction procedure to the charged solitons of the Complex sine-Gordon equation. The corresponding string states are dual to BPS boundstates of many magnons in the spin-chain description of planar = 4 SUSY Yang-Mills. The exact dispersion relation for these states is obtained from a purely classical calculation in string theory.

On the scattering of magnon boundstates
We study the scattering of magnon boundstates in the spin-chain description of planar = 4 SUSY Yang-Mills. Starting from the conjectured exact S-matrix for magnons in the SU(2) sector, we calculate the corresponding S-matrix for boundstates with an arbitrary number of constituent magnons. The resulting expression has an interesting analytic structure with both simple and double poles. We also calculate the semiclassical S-matrix for the scattering of the corresponding excitations on the string worldsheet known as Dyonic Giant Magnons. We find precise agreement with the magnon boundstate S-matrix in the limit of large 't Hooft coupling.

Moduli space and wall-crossing formulae in higher-rank gauge theories
A bstractWe study the interplay between wall-crossing in four-dimensional gauge theory and instanton contributions to the moduli space metric of the same theory on $\mathbb{R}^{3}\times S^{1}$. We consider $\mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY Yang-Mills with gauge group SU(n) and focus on walls of marginal stability which extend to weak coupling. By comparison with explicit field theory results we verify the Kontsevich-Soibelman formula for the change in the BPS spectrum at these walls and check the smoothness of the metric in the corresponding compactified theory. We also verify in detail the predictions for the one instanton contribution to the metric coming from the non-linear integral equations of Gaiotto, Moore and Nietzke.

Geometry and topology of bubble solutions from gauge theory
We study how geometrical and topological aspects of certain 1 -BPS type IIB supergravity solutions are captured by the N = 4 Super Yang-Mills gauge theory in the AdS/CFT context. The type IIB solutions are completely characterized by arbitrary droplets in a plane and we consider, in particular, concentric droplets. We probe the dual 1 -BPS operators of the gauge theory with single traces and extract their one-loop anomalous dimensions. The action of the one-loop dilatation operator can be reformulated as the Hamiltonian of a bosonic lattice. The operators defining the Hamiltonian encode the topology of the droplet. The axial symmetry of the droplets turns out to be essential for obtaining the spectrum of the Hamiltonians. In appropriate BMN limits, the near-BPS spectrum reproduces the spectrum of near-BPS string excitations propagating along each individual edge of the droplet of the dual geometric background. We also study semiclassical regimes for the Hamiltonians. We show that for droplets having disconnected constituents, the Hamiltonian admits different complimentary semiclassical descriptions, each one replicating the semiclassical description for closed strings extending in each of the constituents.

Precision test of AdS/CFT in Lunin-Maldacena background
We obtain the solutions and explicitly calculate the energy for a class of two-spin semiclassical string states in the Lunin-Maldacena background. These configurations are the β-deformed versions of the folded string solutions in AdS5 × S5 background. They correspond to certain single trace operators in the = 1 superconformal β deformation of = 4 Yang-Mills. We calculate the one loop anomalous dimension for the dual single trace operators from the associated twisted spin chain with a general two-cut distribution of Bethe roots. Our results show a striking match between the two calculations. We demonstrate the natural identification of parameters on the two sides of the analysis, and explain the significance of the Virasoro constraint associated with the winding motion of semiclassical strings from the perspective of the spin chain solution.

A 5d/3d duality from relativistic integrable system
A bstractWe propose and prove a new exact duality between the F-terms of supersymmetric gauge theories in five and three dimensions with adjoint matter fields. The theories are compactified on a circle and are subject to the Ω deformation. In the limit proposed by Nekrasov and Shatashvili, the supersymmetric vacua become isolated and are identified with the eigenstates of a quantum integrable system. The effective twisted superpotentials are the Yang-Yang functional of the relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser model. We show that they match on-shell by deriving the Bethe ansatz equation from the saddle point of the five-dimensional partition function. We also show that the Chern-Simons terms match and extend our proposal to the elliptic quiver generalizations.

A simple grand unified relation between neutrino mixing and quark mixing
A bstractIt is proposed that all flavor mixing is caused by the mixing of the three quark and lepton families with vectorlike fermions in $ 5+\bar{5} $ multiplets of SU(5). This simple assumption implies that both VCKM and UM N S are generated by a single matrix. The entire 3 × 3 complex mass matrix of the neutrinos Mv is then found to have a simple expression in terms of two complex parameters and an overall scale. Thus, all the presently unknown neutrino parameters are predicted. The best fits are for θatm ≲ 40°. The leptonic Dirac CP phase is found to be somewhat greater than π.

Searches for supersymmetry using the MT2 variable in hadronic events produced in pp collisions at 8 TeV
A bstractSearches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are performed using a sample of hadronic events produced in 8 TeV pp collisions at the CERN LHC. The searches are based on the MT2 variable, which is a measure of the transverse momentum imbalance in an event. The data were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb−1. Two related searches are performed. The first is an inclusive search based on signal regions defined by the value of the MT2 variable, the hadronic energy in the event, the jet multiplicity, and the number of jets identified as originating from bottom quarks. The second is a search for a mass peak corresponding to a Higgs boson decaying to a bottom quark-antiquark pair, where the Higgs boson is produced as a decay product of a SUSY particle. For both searches, the principal backgrounds are evaluated with data control samples. No significant excess over the expected number of background events is observed, and exclusion limits on various SUSY models are derived.

Fast simulation of showers in inhomogeneous media
Abstract A bootstrap method for fast shower simulation in inhomogeneous media has been developed. In sampling calorimeters the electromagnetic showers or hadronic showers of electrons, charged pions and neutrons, with energies below given thresholds, are replaced by pre-generated shower patterns. This method has been applied to the L3 hadron calorimeter. The speed of simulations of charged pion showers with energies between 1 to 10 GeV was increased by more than one order of magnitude, with most of the details of the hadron showers well reproduced as compared with full simulations.
