No full textRidiculo futurus Latinis: pastiche linguistico, risum e il problema del volgare
No full textIl saggio affronta, attraverso testimonianze che vanno dal VI al IX secolo, i termini risum e ridiculum in relazione a una cosiddetta barbara locutio rispetto a una rationabilis locutio. Vengono analizzati alcuni passi di autori della metà del IX secolo riguardanti il problema del pastiche linguistico e del conseguente possibile ridiculum, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la commistione tra latina lingua e barbarie quae est theotisca. Da questa analisi è forse possibile ricavare una nuova interpretazione della presenza di germanismi nella cosiddetta Parodia della Lex Salica, testo ludico databile alla seconda metà dell'VIII secolo.The essay deals, through witnesses ranging from the 6th to the 9th century, with the terms risum and ridiculum in relation to a so called barbara locutio compared to a rationabilis locutio. Some passages by writers from the mid-ninth century concerning the problem of linguistic pastiche and the consequent possible ridiculum are analysed, above all as regards the mixture between latina lingua and barbaries quae est theotisca. From this analysis it is perhaps possible to derive a new interpretation of the presence of Germanisms in the so-called Parody of the Lex Salica, a playful text datable to the second half of the eighth century

Cubic interactions of Maxwell-like higher spins
Get PDFAbstract We study the cubic vertices for Maxwell-like higher-spins in flat and (A)dS background spaces of any dimension. Reducibility of their free spectra implies that a single cubic vertex involving any three fields subsumes a number of couplings among different particles of various spins. The resulting vertices do not involve traces of the fields and in this sense are simpler than their Fronsdal counterparts. We propose an extension of both the free theory and of its cubic deformation to a more general class of partially reducible systems, that one can obtain from the original theory upon imposing trace constraints of various orders. The key to our results is a version of the Noether procedure allowing to systematically account for the deformations of the transversality conditions to be imposed on the gauge parameters at the free level
Alba, amanti e wahtær nelle traduzioni italiane di Sîne klâwen di Wolfram von Eschenbach
No full textThe adventurous courtly world of Minnesang has attracted the curiosity of the Italian academia since the mid of the Twentieth century. Collections of Lieder have been abridged into six anthologies and translated with the purpose of conveying the spirit of Middle High German poetry and its values to a vast audience of Italian readers.
Among the medieval authors, Wolfram von Eschenbach has played a vital role in the milieu of German Medieval literature not only as regards the epos (Parzival, Titurel), but also as to Minnesang. Among his poetic production, Wolfram stands out as the father of Tagelieder in Middle High German. This essay will investigate how his
dawn-song Sîne klâwen has been translated into Italian. Attention will be paid to the translation strategies behind the five renderings of the poem and to Maria Vittoria Molinari’s views concerning the central role of the translator-philologis
Entropy function from toric geometry
Get PDFIt has recently been claimed that a Cardy-like limit of the superconformal index of 4d N = 4 SYM accounts for the entropy function, whose Legendre transform corresponds to the entropy of the holographic dual AdS5 rotating black hole. Here we study this Cardy-like limit for N = 1 toric quiver gauge theories, observing that the corresponding entropy function can be interpreted in terms of the toric data. Furthermore, for some families of models, we compute the Legendre transform of the entropy function, comparing with
similar results recently discussed in the literature
The moduli spaces of S-fold CFTs
Get PDFAbstract An S-fold has played an important role in constructing supersymmetric field theories with interesting features. It can be viewed as a type of AdS4 solutions of Type IIB string theory where the fields in overlapping patches are glued by elements of SL(2, ℤ). This paper examines three dimensional quiver theories that arise from brane configurations with an inclusion of the S-fold. An important feature of such a quiver is that it contains a link, which is the T (U(N)) theory, between two U(N) groups, along with bifundamental and fundamental hypermultiplets. We systematically study the moduli spaces of those quiver theories, including the cases in which the non-zero Chern-Simons levels are turned on. A number of such moduli spaces turns out to have a very rich structure and tells us about the brane dynamics in the presence of an S-fold
Variations on S-fold CFTs
Get PDFAbstract A local SL(2, ℤ) transformation on the Type IIB brane configuration gives rise to an interesting class of superconformal field theories, known as the S-fold CFTs. Previously it has been proposed that the corresponding quiver theory has a link involving the T(U(N)) theory. In this paper, we generalise the preceding result by studying quivers that contain a T(G) link, where G is self-dual under S-duality. In particular, the cases of G = SO(2N), USp′(2N) and G 2 are examined in detail. We propose the theories that arise from an appropriate insertion of an S-fold into a brane system, in the presence of an orientifold threeplane or an orientifold fiveplane. By analysing the moduli spaces, we test such a proposal against its S-dual configuration using mirror symmetry. The case of G 2 corresponds to a novel class of quivers, whose brane construction is not available. We present several mirror pairs, containing G 2 gauge groups, that have not been discussed before in the literature
