A duality in string theory on AdS$_3$

We consider bosonic string theory on $\text{AdS}_3$ supported by Kalb-Ramond flux. It is well known that the $\alpha'$ exact worldsheet theory is described by the $\text{SL(2,R)}$ WZW model. In this note we perform checks of an $\alpha'$ exact dual description proposed in [arXiv:2104.07233] involving a winding condensate on a free theory background. We give the explicit map of vertex operators for normalizable states on both sides of the duality and demonstrate the equivalence of their two and three point functions by direct computation. The duality is of strong-weak nature in $\alpha'$.

Sensitivity of an Upgraded LHC to R-Parity Violating Signatures of the MSSM

We present a sensitivity study for the pair-production of supersymmetric particles which decay through R-parity violating channels. As the scope of possible RPV signatures is very broad, the reach of several selected signatures spanning a representative variety of possible final states is considered. Preference in representation is given to spectra motivated by naturalness, i.e. light higgsinos, stops and gluinos. The sensitivity studies are presented for proton-proton collisions at 14 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 300 and 3000 fb^-1, as well as at 33 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb^-1.
