Tree-level split helicity amplitudes in ambitwistor space
We study all tree-level split helicity gluon amplitudes by using the recently proposed Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursion relation and Hodges diagrams in ambitwistor space. We pick out the contributing diagrams and find that all of them can be divided into triangles in a suitable way. We give the explicit expressions for all of these amplitudes. As an example, we reproduce the six-gluon split next-to-maximally-helicity-violating amplitudes in momentum space.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Note on refined topological vertex, Jack polynomials and instanton counting
In this article, we calculated the refined topological vertex for the one parameter case using the Jack symmetric functions. Also, we obtain the partition function for elliptic N=2 models, the results coincide with those of Nekrasov instanton counting partition functions for the $N=2^{\ast}$ theories.

Nucleon Resonances with Hidden Charm in Coupled-Channel Models
The model dependence of the predictions of nucleon resonances with hidden charm is investigated. We consider several coupled-channel models which are derived from relativistic quantum field theory by using (1) a unitary transformation method, and (2) the three-dimensional reductions of Bethe-Salpeter Equation. With the same vector meson exchange mechanism, we find that all models give very narrow molecular-like nucleon resonances with hidden charm in the mass range of 4.3 GeV < MR < 4.5 GeV, in consistent with the previous predictions.

Calogero-Sutherland model in interacting fermion picture and explicit construction of Jack states
The 40-year-old Calogero-Sutherland (CS) model remains a source of inspirations for understanding 1d interacting fermions. At $\beta=1, \text{or}0$, the CS model describes a free non-relativistic fermion, or boson theory, while for generic $\beta$, the system can be interpreted either as interacting fermions or bosons, or free anyons depending on the context. However, we shall show in this letter that the fermionic picture is advantageous in diagonalizing the CS Hamiltonian. Comparing to the previously known multi-integral representation or the Dunkl operator formalism for the CS wave functions, our method depends on the (upper or lower) triangular nature of the fermion interaction, which is resolved in perturbation theory of the second quantized form. The eigenstate is constructed from a multiplet of unperturbed states and the perturbation is of finite order. The full construction is a similarity transformation from the free fermion theory, in the same spirit as the Landau Fermi liquid theory and the 1d Luttinger liquid theory. That means quasi-particles or anyons can be represented in terms of free fermion modes (or bosonic modes via bosonization). The method is applicable to other (higher than one space dimension) systems for which the adiabatic theorem applies.

Some properties of the holographic fermions in an extremal charged dilatonic black hole
We study the properties of the Green's functions of the fermions in the extremal charged dilatonic black hole proposed by Gubser and Rocha [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{81}, 046001 (2010)]. We find that many properties seem to be in agreement with that of Fermi liquid. Especially, the dispersion relation is linear. It is very different from that found in the extremal Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m (RN) black hole for massless fermion, which is obviously non-Fermi liquid due to a nonlinear dispersion relation. However, for another scaling behavior of the height of $ImG_{11}$ at the maximum, the scaling exponent is not one, which is at odds with that found in the RN black hole.

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.
