 Resurgent Analysis of Localizable Observables in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories / Aniceto, Inês ; Russo, Jorge G ; Schiappa, Ricardo Localization methods have recently led to a plethora of new exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories, as certain observables may be computed in terms of matrix integrals.

 Matching the $D^6 {\cal R}^4$ interaction at two-loops / D'Hoker, Eric ; Green, Michael B ; Pioline, Boris ; Russo, Rodolfo The coefficient of the $D^6 {\cal R}^4$ interaction in the low energy expansion of the two-loop four-graviton amplitude in type II superstring theory is known to be proportional to the integral of the Zhang-Kawazumi (ZK) invariant over the moduli space of genus-two Riemann surfaces.

 Exploring CP Violation in the MSSM / Arbey, A ; Ellis, J ; Godbole, R M ; Mahmoudi, F We explore the prospects for observing CP violation in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with six CP-violating parameters, three gaugino mass phases and three phases in trilinear soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, using the CPsuperH code combined with a geometric approach to maximize CP-violating observables subject to the experimental upper bounds on electric dipole moments.

 An Introduction to PYTHIA 8.2 / Sjöstrand, Torbjörn (Lund U. (main)) ; Ask, Stefan (Cambridge U. (main)) ; Christiansen, Jesper R (Lund U. (main)) ; Corke, Richard (Lund U. (main)) ; Desai, Nishita (U. Heidelberg, ITP) ; Ilten, Philip (MIT) ; Mrenna, Stephen (Fermilab) ; Prestel, Stefan (DESY ; SLAC) ; Rasmussen, Christine O (Lund U. (main)) ; Skands, Peter Z (CERN ; Monash U.) The PYTHIA program is a standard tool for the generation of events in high-energy collisions, comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process to a complex multiparticle final state.
