GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

Escaping limit cycles: Global convergence for constrained nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems

Volkan Cevher, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick

This paper introduces a new extragradient-type algorithm for a class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems. It is well-known that finding a local solution for general minimax problems is computationally intractable. This observation has recently motivat ...

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 ...

Ordinary varieties with trivial canonical bundle are not uniruled

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We prove that smooth, projective, K-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our work, together with La ...

Review of Nontopological Solitons in Theories with U(1)-Symmetry

Andrey Shkerin

We provide a review of nontopological solitonic solutions arising in theories with a complex scalar field and global or gauge U(1)-symmetry. It covers Q-balls, homogeneous charged scalar condensates, and nonlinear localized holes and bulges in a classicall ...

Goldstone equivalence and high energy electroweak physics

Andrea Wulzer, Luca Vecchi, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

The transition between the broken and unbroken phases of massive gauge theories, namely the rearrangement of longitudinal and Goldstone degrees of freedom that occurs at high energy, is not manifestly smooth in the standard formalism. The lack of smoothnes ...

Arithmetically rigid schemes via deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of the Frobenius ho ...

Lattice formulation of axion inflation. Application to preheating

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

We present a lattice formulation of an interaction phi/Lambda F (F) over tilde between an axion and some U(1) gauge sector with the following properties: it reproduces the continuum theory up to O(dx(mu)(2)) corrections, it preserves exact gauge invariance ...

Dubrovin'S Superpotential As A Global Spectral Curve

Nicolas Gerson Orantin

We apply the spectral curve topological recursion to Dubrovin's universal Landau-Ginzburg superpotential associated to a semi-simple point of any conformal Frobenius manifold. We show that under some conditions the expansion of the correlation differential ...

Semiclassical analysis of the quantum instanton approximation

Jiri Vanicek, Christophe Louis Joseph Jean-Luc Vaillant

We explore the relation between the quantum and semiclassical instanton approximations for the reaction rate constant. From the quantum instanton expression, we analyze the contributions to the rate constant in terms of minimum-action paths and find that t ...

Walking, weak first-order transitions, and complex CFTs

Bernardo Zan, Victor Gorbenko

We discuss walking behavior in gauge theories and weak first-order phase transitions in statistical physics. Despite appearing in very different systems (QCD below the conformal window, the Potts model, deconfined criticality) these two phenomena both impl ...

Euclidean classical solutions in quantum field theory and gravity: Higgs vacuum metastability and the hierarchy problem

Andrey Shkerin

The thesis is dedicated to two groups of questions arising in modern particle physics and cosmology. The first group concerns with the problem of stability of the electroweak (EW) vacuum in different environments. Due to its phenomenological significance, ...

A fibre-based frame element with explicit consideration of bond-slip effects

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to seismic loading often depict localized member-end deformations due to strain penetration effects between adjacent members, such as beam-column and column-footing joints. Past experimental programs indicate that ...

Neutron Electric Dipole Moment from Gauge-String Duality

Andrea Manenti

We compute the electric dipole moment of nucleons in the large N-c QCD model by Witten, Sakai, and Sugimoto with N-f = 2 degenerate massive flavors. Baryons in the model are instantonic solitons of an effective five-dimensional action describing the whole ...

Motivic invariants of moduli spaces of rank 2 Bradlow-Higgs triples

Riccardo Grandi

In the present thesis we study the geometry of the moduli spaces of Bradlow-Higgs triples on a smooth projective curve C. There is a family of stability conditions for triples that depends on a positive real parameter Ï . The moduli spaces of Ï -semistable ...

Haldane quantum Hall effect for light in a dynamically modulated array of resonators

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

Topological insulators have attracted abundant attention for a variety of reasons-notably, the possibility for lossless energy transport through edge states "protected" against disorder. Topological effects such as the quantum Hall state can be induced thr ...

Confined vortices in topologically massive U(1) x U(1) theory

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Yannis Burnier, Eray Sabancilar

We report on a new topological vortex solution in U(1) x U(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The existence of the vortex is envisaged by analytical means, and a numerical solution is obtained by integrating the equations of motion. These vortices have a long ...

Equivariant measurable liftings

Nicolas Monod

We discuss equivariance for linear liftings of measurable functions. Existence is established when a transformation group acts amenably, as e.g. the Mobius group of the projective line. Since the general proof is very simple but not explicit, we also provi ...

On the global structure of deformed Yang-Mills theory and QCD(adj) on R-3 x S-1

Spatial compactification on R(3)xS(L)(1), at small S-1-size L often leads to a calculable vacuum structure, where various "topological molecules" are responsible for confinement and the realization of the center and discrete chiral symmetries. Within this ...

Cohomology Of Large Semiprojective Hyperkahler Varieties

Tamás Hausel

In this paper we survey geometric and arithmetic techniques to study the cohomology of semiprojective hyperkahler manifolds including toric hyperkahler varieties, Nakajima quiver varieties and moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces. The resulti ...
