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…
The energetics of quantum vacuum friction: Field fluctuations
Xin Guo, Kimball A. Milton, Gerard Kennedy +3
Quantum fluctuations can induce a friction on a neutral but polarizable particle and cause it to radiate energy even if the particle is moving in free space filled with blackbody r…
Moduli Stabilisation and the Statistics of Axion Physics in the Landscape
Igor Broeckel, Michele Cicoli, Anshuman Maharana +2
String theory realisations of the QCD axion are often said to belong to the anthropic window where the decay constant is around the GUT scale and the initial misalignment angle has…
Moduli Stabilisation and the Statistics of SUSY Breaking in the Landscape
Igor Broeckel, Michele Cicoli, Anshuman Maharana +2
The statistics of the supersymmetry breaking scale in the string landscape has been extensively studied in the past finding either a power-law behaviour induced by uniform distribu…
Self-force on moving electric and magnetic dipoles: dipole radiation, Vavilov-Čerenkov radiation, friction with a conducting surface, and the Einstein-Hopf effect
Kimball A. Milton, Hannah Day, Yang Li +2
The classical electromagnetic self-force on an arbitrary time-dependent electric or magnetic dipole moving with constant velocity in vacuum, and in a medium, is considered. Of cour…
Self-Stress on a Dielectric Ball and Casimir-Polder Forces
Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, Iver Brevik +1
It has always been conventionally understood that, in the dilute limit, the Casimir energy of interaction between bodies or the Casimir self-energy of a dielectric body could be id…
Casimir forces in inhomogeneous media: renormalization and the principle of virtual work
Yang Li, Kimball A. Milton, Xin Guo +2
We calculate the Casimir forces in two configurations, namely, three parallel dielectric slabs and a dielectric slab between two perfectly conducting plates, where the dielectric m…
Remarks on the Casimir Self-Entropy of a Spherical Electromagnetic -Function Shell
Kimball A. Milton, Pushpa Kalauni, Prachi Parashar +1
Recently the Casimir self-entropy of an electromagnetic -function shell was considered by two different groups, with apparently discordant conclusions, although both had conclud…
Quantum Electromagnetic Stress Tensor in an Inhomogeneous Medium
Prachi Parashar, Kimball A. Milton, Yang Li +4
Continuing a program of examining the behavior of the vacuum expectation value of the stress tensor in a background which varies only in a single direction, we here study the elect…
Renormalization for a Scalar Field in an External Scalar Potential
S. A. Fulling, T. E. Settlemyre, K. A. Milton
The Pauli--Villars regularization procedure confirms and sharpens the conclusions reached previously by covariant point splitting. The divergences in the stress tensor of a quantiz…
Bogoliubov transformation and the thermal operator representation in the real time formalism
Ashok Das, Atri Deshamukhya, Pushpa Kalauni +1
It has been shown earlier \cite{brandt,brandt1} that, in the mixed space, there is an unexpected simple relation between any finite temperature graph and its zero temperature count…
Electromagnetic -function sphere
Prachi Parashar, Kimball A. Milton, K. V. Shajesh +1
We develop a formalism to extend our previous work on the electromagnetic -function plates to a spherical surface. The electric () and magnetic () couplings to the sur…
Casimir Self-Entropy of a Spherical Electromagnetic -Function Shell
K. A. Milton, Pushpa Kalauni, Prachi Parashar +1
In this paper we continue our program of computing Casimir self-entropies of idealized electrical bodies. Here we consider an electromagnetic -function sphere ("semitransparent…
Casimir Self-Entropy of an Electromagnetic Thin Sheet
Yang Li, K. A. Milton, Pushpa Kalauni +1
Casimir entropies due to quantum fluctuations in the interaction between electrical bodies can often be negative, either caused by dissipation or by geometry. Although generally su…
Operator description for thermal quantum field theories on an arbitrary path in the real time formalism
Ashok Das, Pushpa Kalauni
We develop an operator description, much like thermofield dynamics, for quantum field theories on a real time path with an arbitrary parameter . We point out new…
Stress tensor for a scalar field in a spatially varying background potential: Divergences, "renormalization," anomalies, and Casimir forces
Kimball A. Milton, Stephen A. Fulling, Prachi Parashar +2
Motivated by a desire to understand quantum fluctuation energy densities and stress within a spatially varying dielectric medium, we examine the vacuum expectation value for the st…
How does Casimir energy fall? IV. Gravitational interaction of regularized quantum vacuum energy
K. A. Milton, K. V. Shajesh, S. A. Fulling +1
Several years ago we demonstrated that the Casimir energy for perfectly reflecting and imperfectly reflecting parallel plates gravitated normally, that is, obeyed the equivalence p…
Casimir torque in weak coupling
Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, William Long
In this paper, dedicated to Johan Høye on the occasion of his 70th birthday, we examine manifestations of Casimir torque in the weak-coupling approximation, which allows exact calc…
Investigations of the torque anomaly in an annular sector. II. Global calculations, electromagnetic case
Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, E. K. Abalo +2
Recently, it was suggested that there was some sort of breakdown of quantum field theory in the presence of boundaries, manifesting itself as a torque anomaly. In particular, Fulli…
