Magnetogenesis in Higgs-Starobinsky inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

In the framework of mixed Higgs-Starobinsky inflation, we consider the generation of Abelian gauge fields due to their nonminimal coupling to gravity (in two different formulations of gravity-metric and Palatini). We couple the gauge-field invariants F mu ...

Vertex function compliant with the Ward identity for quasiparticle self-consistent calculations beyond GW

Alfredo Pasquarello, Wei Chen

We extend the quasiparticle self-consistent approach beyond the GW approximation by using a range separated vertex function. The developed approach yields band gaps, dielectric constants, and band positions with an accuracy similar to highest-level electro ...

Anomalous non-conservation of fermion/chiral number in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature (vol 4, 26, 2018)

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Daniel Garcia Figueroa

To confront the numerical results of Gamma(diff)with the analytical results from section 2.3, we originally considered the theoretical prediction for the diffusion rate given by eq. (2.17), which we re-wrote in eq. (4.25). ...

Bootstrapping massive quantum field theories

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Denis Karateev

We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of inne ...

Conformal 3-Point Functions and the Lorentzian OPE in Momentum Space

Marc Gillioz

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion (OPE), we show that t ...

Edge states control droplet breakup in subcritical extensional flows

François Gallaire, Tobias Schneider, Giacomo Gallino

A fluid droplet suspended in an extensional flow of moderate intensity may break into pieces, depending on the amplitude of the initial droplet deformation. In subcritical uniaxial extensional flow the nonbreaking base state is linearly stable, implying th ...

Anisotropy of transport in bulk Rashba metals

Claudio Grimaldi

The recent experimental discovery of three-dimensional (3D) materials hosting a strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling calls for the theoretical investigation of their transport properties. Here we study the zero-temperature dc conductivity of a 3D Rashba metal ...

The local RG equation and chiral anomalies

Boaz Keren Zur

We generalize the local renormalization group (RG) equation to theories with chiral anomalies. We find that a new anomaly is required by the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions. Taking into account the new anomaly, the trace of the energy momentum tensor is ...

Gaugino mass in AdS space

Riccardo Rattazzi, Claudio Scrucca

We study supersymmetric QED in AdS(4) with massless matter. At 1-loop the ultra-violet regulator of the theory generates a contribution to the gaugino mass that is naively inconsistent with unbroken supersymmetry. We show that this effect, known in flat sp ...

Anomalous Abelian solitons

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Matthias Schmid

The chiral Abelian Higgs model contains an interesting class of solitons found by Rubakov and Tavkhelidze. These objects carry non-zero fermion number NF (or Chern-Simons number NCS, what is the same because of the chiral anomaly) and are stable for suffic ...

The strongly-interacting light Higgs

Riccardo Rattazzi

We develop a simple description of models where electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered by a light composite Higgs, which emerges from a strongly-interacting sector as a pseudo-Gold stone boson. Two parameters broadly characterize these models: m(p), th ...
