This is a talk delivered at the Workshop on Quantum Fields and Strings of the 2014 Corfu Summer Institute. We discuss how giant magnons emerge in the context of the AdS5/CFT4 correspondence as the gravity duals of N = 4 super Yang-Mills magnon excitations. Then we present a new analytic expression for the dispersion relation of classical finite-size giant magnons with Lamberts W-function.

Perturbations of giant magnons and single spikes in a $2+1$ dimensional $mathbb R times S^2$ background spacetime are analysed. Using the form of the giant magnon solution in the Jevicki-Jin gauge,the well-known Jacobi equation for small normal defor
mations of an embedded time-like surface are written down. Surprisingly, this equation reduces to a simple wave equation in a Minkowski background. The finiteness of perturbations and the ensuing stability of such giant magnons under small deformations are then discussed. It turns out that only the zero mode has finite deformations and is stable. Thereafter, we move on to explore the single spike solution in the Jevicki-Jin gauge. We obtain and solve the perturbation equation numerically and address stability issues.
We consider conformal field theories around points of large twist degeneracy. Examples of this are theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetry and perturbations around generalised free fields. At the degenerate point we introduce twist conformal
blocks. These are eigenfunctions of certain quartic operators and encode the contribution, to a given four-point correlator, of the whole tower of intermediate operators with a given twist. As we perturb around the degenerate point, the twist degeneracy is lifted. In many situations this breaking is controlled by inverse powers of the spin. In such cases the twist conformal blocks can be decomposed into a sequence of functions which we systematically construct. Decomposing the four-point correlator in this basis turns crossing symmetry into an algebraic problem. Our method can be applied to a wide spectrum of conformal field theories in any number of dimensions and at any order in the breaking parameter. As an example, we compute the spectrum of various theories around generalised free fields. For theories with higher spin symmetry we discuss the relation between twist conformal blocks and higher spin conformal blocks.
We propose a set of novel expansions of Nekrasovs instanton partition functions. Focusing on 5d supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory with unitary gauge group on $mathbb{C}^2_{q,t^{-1}} times mathbb{S}^1$, we show that the instanton partition functio
n admits expansions in terms of partition functions of unitary gauge theories living on the 3d subspaces $mathbb{C}_{q} times mathbb{S}^1$, $mathbb{C}_{t^{-1}} times mathbb{S}^1$ and their intersection along $mathbb{S}^1$. These new expansions are natural from the BPS/CFT viewpoint, as they can be matched with $W_{q,t}$ correlators involving an arbitrary number of screening charges of two kinds. Our constructions generalize and interpolate existing results in the literature.
A central object in any axionic theory is its periodic potential, which is typically generated by instantons. The goal of this paper is to understand what physically happens to the theory when we lose control of the potentials instanton expansion. We
argue, using the Yang-Lee theory of phase transitions, that the theory breaks down in the classic sense: states become light. However, these states are not necessarily light for all values of the axion and there can be large regions where the effective description remains valid. We find alternative expressions for the effective potential in terms of the properties of these light states, which remain useful even when the instanton expansion breaks down, and thus initiate a push beyond the lamppost of large instanton actions. Most of these questions are motivated by the axionic Weak Gravity Conjecture, which we reformulate without reference to instanton actions. We also comment on its ability to constrain large-field axion inflation.
Usually the asymptotic behavior for large orders of the perturbation theory is reached rather slowly. However, in the case of the N-component $phi^4$ model in D=4 dimensions one can find a special quantity that exhibits an extremely fast convergence
to the asymptotic form. A comparison of the available 5-loop result for this quantity with the asymptotic value shows agreement at the 0.1% level. An analogous superfast convergence to the asymptotic form happens in the case of the O(N)-symmetric anharmonic oscillator where this convergence has inverse factorial type. The large orders of the $epsilon$ expansion for critical exponents manifest a similar effect.
