We investigate a new class of scalar multi-galileon models, which is not included in the commonly admitted general formulation of generalized multi-galileons. The Lagrangians of this class of models, some of them having already been introduced in previous works, are specific to multi-galileon theories, and vanish in the single galileon case. We examine them in details, discussing in particular some hidden symmetry properties which can be made explicit by adding total derivatives to these Lagrangians. These properties allow us to describe the possible dynamics for these new Lagrangians in the case of multi-galileons in the fundamental representation of a SO(N) and SU(N) global symmetry group, as well as in the adjoint representation of a SU(N) global symmetry group. We perform in parallel an exhaustive examination of some of these models, finding a complete agreement with the dynamics obtained using the symmetry properties. Finally, we conclude by discussing what could be the most general multi-galileon theory, as well as the link between scalar and vector multi-galileon models.

We study a series of powerful correspondences among new multi-gravity extensions of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model, multi-SYK models and multi-Schwarzian quantum mechanics, in the $rm{(A)dS_{2}/CFT}$ arena. Deploying a $BF$-like formulation of the model, we discuss the counting of the degrees of freedom for some specific classes of multi-gravity potentials, and unveil connections among a variety of apparently different models. Quantization of multi-gravity models can be then achieved from both the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal, the SYK partition function and the spin-foam approaches. We comment on the SYK quantization procedure, and deepen in the appendix the quantization scheme naturally achieved in the $BF$ framework. The new multi-gravity theory hence recovered presents intriguing applications for analogue gravitational models developed for condensed matter physics, including graphene, endowed with defects and high intensity magnetic fields.

We study the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus $ggeq2$ into the Lie group SO(n,n+1) using Higgs bundles. For each integer $0<dleq n(2g-2),$ we show there is a smooth connected component of the character variety which is diffeomorphic to the product of a certain vector bundle over a symmetric product of a Riemann surface with the vector space of holomorphic differentials of degree 2,4,...,2n-2. In particular, when d=n(2g-2), this recovers Hitchins parameterization of the Hitchin component. We also exhibit $2^{2g+1}-1$ additional connected components of the SO(n,n+1)-character variety and compute their topology. Moreover, representations in all of these new components cannot be continuously deformed to representations with compact Zariski closure. Using recent work of Guichard and Wienhard on positivity, it is shown that each of the representations which define singularities (i.e. those which are not irreducible) in these $2^{2g+1}-1$ connected components are positive Anosov representations.

We give an explicit differential equation which is expected to determine the instanton partition function in the presence of the full surface operator in N=2 SU(N) gauge theory. The differential equation arises as a quantization of a certain Hamiltonian system of isomonodromy type discovered by Fuji, Suzuki and Tsuda.

We describe a class of diffeomorphism invariant SU(N) gauge theories in N^2 dimensions, together with some matter couplings. These theories have (N^2-3)(N^2-1) local degrees of freedom, and have the unusual feature that the constraint associated with time reparametrizations is identically satisfied. A related class of SU(N) theories in N^2-1 dimensions has the constraint algebra of general relativity, but has more degrees of freedom. Non-perturbative quantization of the first type of theory via SU(N) spin networks is briefly outlined.

We give a description of the centralizer algebras for tensor powers of spin objects in the pre-modular categories $SO(N)_2$ (for $N$ odd) and $O(N)_2$ (for $N$ even) in terms of quantum $(n-1)$-tori, via non-standard deformations of $Umathfrak{so}_N$. As a consequence we show that the corresponding braid group representations are Gaussian representations, the images of which are finite groups. This verifies special cases of a conjecture that braid group representations coming from weakly integral braided fusion categories have finite image.
