On a linearization program of non-linear field equations
Abstract The relevance of a recently developed theory of non-linear representations of Lie groups to the problem of linearization of non-linear field equations covariant under the action of a Lie group is discussed. Some basic definitions and results of this theory are then summarized. The article ends with a discussion of the physical meaning, consequences, and further possible developments of the non-linear representation theory.

Yang-Mills equations are formally linearizable
It is proved, in the framework of a recent theory of non-linear group representations elaborated by the authors, that the non-linear Yang-Mills equations are formally linearizable: there exists a formal non-linear operator which intertwins the non-linear Yang-Mills equations with their free (linear) part.

The cauchy problem for non-linear Klein-Gordon equations
We consider in ℝn+1,n≧2, the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation. We prove for such an equation that there is a neighbourhood of zero in a Hilbert space of initial conditions for which the Cauchy problem has global solutions and on which there is asymptotic completeness. The inverse of the wave operator linearizes the non-linear equation. If, moreover, the equation is manifestly Poincaré covariant then the non-linear representation of the Poincaré Lie algebra, associated with the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation is integrated to a non-linear representation of the Poincaré group on an invariant neighbourhood of zero in the Hilbert space. This representation is linearized by the inverse of the wave operator. The Hilbert space is, in both cases, the closure of the space of the differentiable vectors for the linear representation of the Poincaré group, associated with the Klein-Gordon equation, with respect to a norm defined by the representation of the enveloping algebra.

A Garding domain for representations of some Hilbert Lie groups
AbstractGiven a Banach representation of a Hilbert Lie group, the Lie algebra

Emergent IR dual 2d CFTs in charged AdS5 black holes
We study the possible dynamical emergence of IR conformal invariance describing the low energy excitations of near-extremal R-charged global AdS5 black holes. We find interesting behavior especially when we tune parameters in such a way that the relevant extremal black holes have classically vanishing horizon area, i.e. no classical ground-state entropy, and when we combine the low energy limit with a large N limit of the dual gauge theory. We consider both near-BPS and non-BPS regimes and their near horizon limits, emphasize the differences between the local AdS3 throats emerging in either case, and discuss potential dual IR 2d CFTs for each case. We compare our results with the predictions obtained from the Kerr/CFT correspondence, and obtain a natural quantization for the central charge of the near-BPS emergent IR CFT which we interpret in terms of the open strings stretched between giant gravitons.

Extremality, Holography and Coarse Graining
I discuss some of the concepts at the crossroads of gravitational thermodynamics, holography and quantum mechanics. First, the origin of gravitational thermodynamics due to coarse graining of quantum information is exemplified using the half-BPS sector of \(\mathcal{N}\,=\,4\) SYM and its LLM description in type IIB supergravity.

The electrostatic view on M-theory LLM geometries
We describe the geometry of the $ \mathbb{R} \times {\text{SO}}(3) \times {\text{SO}}(6) \times {\text{U}}(1) $ invariant half-BPS M-theory configurations considered in LLM in terms of their electrostatic variables. We discuss both regular configurations, such as AdS4 × S7 and AdS7 × S4 vacua or simple excited solutions, and singular ones such as the superstar geometries. This allows us to identify the appropriate boundary conditions describing the most general smooth and superstar-like singular configurations. We also compute their masses, matching the expected result from their microscopic interpretation, but now at finite radius of curvature.

Exotic gauge theories from tensor calculus
We construct non-standard interactions between exterior form gauge fields by gauging a particular global symmetry of the Einstein-Maxwell action for such fields. Furthermore, we discuss generalizations of such interactions by adding couplings to gravitational Chern-Simons forms and to fields arising through dimensional reduction. The construction uses an appropriate tensor calculus.

T duality and effective D-brane actions
T-duality realized on D-brane effective actions is studied from a pure worldvolume point of view. It is proved that invariance in the form of the Dirac-Born-Infeld and Wess-Zumino terms fixes the T-duality transformations of the NS-NS and R-R background fields, respectively. The analysis is extended to uncover the mapping of global symmetries of the corresponding pair of D-branes involved in the transformation.
