The integrability properties of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super-Yang-Mills in the planar limit have been studied extensively and are well understood. For certain classes of theories, obtained by orbifolding $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super-Yang-Mills, it was shown that planar integrability is actually inherited and persists at the orbifold point. [...]

Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, DESY-THESIS 217 pp. () [10.3204/PUBDB-2025-01709] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2025  GO
In this thesis, we report recent advancements in the understanding of Higgs branch moduli spacesof six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric quantum field theories, along with related developments.These progresses have been achieved by exploiting the interplay between geometrical engineeringand techniques in quiver gauge theories, leading to new insights into the Higgs mechanism’s actionin higher-dimensional supersymmetric theories.Paper I: We present an extension of the magnetic quiver technique to a class of non-gravitationalsupersymmetric quantum field theories in six dimensions known as Little String Theories (LSTs).These theories also exhibit a higher-group symmetry structure. Notably, we prove a monotonicitytheorem describing the evolution of κR, a quantity characterizing the higher group symmetry, underpartial Higgsing patterns.Paper II: Specializing to a brane engineering framework, we construct a family of LST modelswith a natural interpretation as an F-theory compactification.

Quantum materials are governed by a complex interplay of spin, orbit, charge and lattice degrees of freedom, resulting in emergent phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity, charge and orbital ordering and insulator-to-metal transitions (IMTs). Often, the interaction of these subsystems results in an energy landscape with multiple local minima favouring different phases. [...]

The LEAP (Laser Electron Acceleration with Polarization) project at DESY is a proof-of-principle experiment aiming to demonstrate the generation -- thus also the transport -- of spin-polarized electron beams from a laser-plasma accelerator (LPA). This is expected to be achieved using a pre-polarized plasma source, generated via the photodissociation of HCl molecules with an ultraviolet (UV) dissociation laser. [...]
