Operator product expansion of Wilson surfaces from M5-branes
The operator product expansion (OPE) of the Wilson surface operators in six-dimensional (2, 0) superconformal field theory is studied from AdS/CFT correspondence in this paper. We compute the OPE coefficients of the chiral primary operators using the M5-brane description for spherical Wilson surface operators in higher dimensional representations. We use the non-chiral M5-brane action in our calculation. We also discuss their membrane limit, and compare our results with the ones obtained from membrane description.

Supersymmetric Wilson loops in N = 6 super-ChernSimons-matter theory
Abstract We study supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory from both sides of the AdS 4 / CFT 3 correspondence. We first construct some supersymmetric Wilson loops. The perturbative computations are performed in the field theory side at the first two orders. A fundamental string solution ending on a circular loop is also studied.

Spin-3 topologically massive gravity
Abstract In this Letter, we study the spin-3 topologically massive gravity (TMG), paying special attention to its properties at the chiral point. We propose an action describing the higher spin fields coupled to TMG. We discuss the traceless spin-3 fluctuations around the AdS 3 vacuum and find that there is an extra local massive mode, besides the left-moving and right-moving boundary massless modes. At the chiral point, such extra mode becomes massless and degenerates with the left-moving mode. We show that at the chiral point the only degrees of freedom in the theory are the boundary right-moving graviton and spin-3 field. We conjecture that spin-3 chiral gravity with generalized Brown–Henneaux boundary condition is holographically dual to 2D chiral CFT with classical W 3 algebra and central charge c R = 3 l / G .

SIX-QUARK AMPLITUDES FROM FERMIONIC MHV VERTICES
The fermionic extension of the CSW approach to perturbative gauge theory coupled with fermions is used to compute the six-quark QCD amplitudes. We find complete agreement with the results obtained by using the usual Feynman rules.

Multi-Spin Strings in AdS_4*CP^3 and its \beta-deformations
In this paper, we study the multi-spin string solutions in AdS_4*CP^3 and its \beta-deformation with real \beta. We give various explicit solutions after some general studies. Conserved charges are computed for these explicit solutions.

On the generality of the LLM geometries in M-theory
In this note we revisit the Lin, Lunin, Maldacena (LLM) class of d = 11 supergravity solutions with symmetry SO(6) × SO(3) × R, but generalise to allow for all fluxes consistent with the isometries. Using the Killing spinor equation, we prove there are no supersymmetric geometries with additional fluxes beyond the LLM ansatz. In addition, the LLM relationship between Killing spinors, ϵ− = − γ5ϵ+, may be seen as a consequence of identifying two Killing directions identified through the Killing spinor equation corresponding to candidate R-symmetry directions.

From Liouville to Chern-Simons, Alternative Realization of Wilson Loop Operators in AGT Duality
We propose an SL(2,R) Chern-Simons description of Liouville field theory (LFT), whose correlation function duals to partition function of N=2 SU(2) gauge theories. We give the dual expressions for conformal blocks, fusion rules, and Wilson loop operators in Chern-Simons theory. By realizing Wilson loop operator in Liouville as a Hopf link in S^3 on which lives an SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory, we obtain an alternative description of monodromy of this loop operator in Liouville field theory as the ratio of link invariants. We show how to calculate t'Hooft loops in the simplest example -- the N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The results we obtained are consistant with those in 0909.0945 and 0909.1105.

Finite-volume Hamiltonian method for coupled-channels interactions in lattice QCD
Within a multi-channel formulation of $\pi\pi$ scattering, we investigate the use of the finite-volume Hamiltonian approach to resolve scattering observables from lattice QCD spectra. The asymptotic matching of the well-known L\"uscher formalism encodes a unique finite-volume spectrum. Nevertheless, in many practical situations, such as coupled-channel systems, it is advantageous to interpolate isolated lattice spectra in order to extract physical scattering parameters. Here we study the use of the Hamiltonian framework as a parameterisation that can be fit directly to lattice spectra. We find that with a modest amount of lattice data, the scattering parameters can be reproduced rather well, with only a minor degree of model dependence.

The 3+1 holographic superconductor with Weyl corrections
Abstract In this Letter we study 3 + 1 holographic superconductors with Weyl corrections. We find that the critical temperature of a superconductor with Weyl corrections increases as we amplify the Weyl coupling parameter γ , indicating the condensation will be harder when the parameter γ decreases. We also calculate the conductivity and the ratio of gap frequency over critical temperature ω g / T c numerically for various coupling parameters. We find that the ratio ω g / T c becomes larger when the Weyl coupling parameter γ decreases. We also notice that when γ 0 there is an extra spike that appears inside the gap.

Production of Bound States with Hidden Charm at J-PARC and JLab
The cross sections of the production of bound states with hidden charm in reactions induced by pions and photons are presented. To facilitate the experimental efforts to determine the $J/\Psi$-N interactions, we present results for 
$J/\Psi$ production on the deuteron.

An Observation of Autocorrelation of Wilson Loops on Lattice
An observation of the autocorrelation of Wilson loops on lattice is presented, especially for the small separation in Markov chain. We give a possible explanation for such behavior. We also present the dependence of autocorrelation behavior on the chosen operators in this paper.
