Joint Statistics of Cosmological Constant and SUSY Breaking in Flux Vacua with Nilpotent Goldstino

Michele Cicoli, Matteo Licheri, Anshuman Maharana +2

We obtain the joint distribution of the gravitino mass and the cosmological constant in KKLT and LVS models with anti-D3 brane uplifting described via the nilpotent goldstino forma…

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the Riemann hypothesis

Pushpa Kalauni, Kimball A Milton

We construct a supersymmetric quantum mechanical model in which the energy eigenvalues of the Hamiltonians are the products of Riemann zeta functions. We show that the trivial and…

The Dark Universe after Reheating in String Inflation

Michele Cicoli, Kuver Sinha, Robert Wiley Deal

We study the production of dark matter and dark radiation after reheating in string inflation models where the Calabi-Yau has a fibred structure and the visible sector lives on D3…

Casimir Self-Entropy of Nanoparticles with Classical Polarizabilities: Electromagnetic Field Fluctuations

Yang Li, Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar +3

Not only are Casimir interaction entropies not guaranteed to be positive, but also, more strikingly, Casimir self-entropies of bodies can be negative. Here, we attempt to interpret…

Energetics of quantum vacuum friction. II: Dipole fluctuations and field fluctuations

Xin Guo, Kimball A. Milton, Gerard Kennedy +3

As a second paper in series with arXiv:2108.01539, we discuss here quantum vacuum friction on an intrinsically dissipative particle. The friction arises not only from the field flu…

On the Search for Low

Igor Broeckel, Michele Cicoli, Anshuman Maharana +2

The magnitude of the vacuum expectation value of the Gukov-Vafa-Witten superpotential plays a central role in the phenomenology of type IIB flux compactifications. Recent a…
