Dynamical mass generation of spin-2 fields in de Sitter space for an symmetric model at large

Nahomi Kan, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We consider the strong-coupling phase in a model of spin-2 field theory in de Sitter spacetime and the effective mass of spin-2 fields therein. In the strong-coupling phase,…

Discrete time heat kernel and UV modified propagators with Dimensional Deconstruction

Nahomi Kan, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We revisit the dimensionally deconstructed scalar quantum electrodynamics and consider the (Euclidean) propagator of the scalar field in the model. Although we have previously inve…

Geometrical effective actions for a partially massless spin-2 field

Nahomi Kan, Takuma Aoyama, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We consider nonlinear effective actions for a spin-2 field, whose `decoupling' limit gives Fierz-Pauli action in D dimensional maximally symmetric spacetime. We find, especially, t…

Hosotani mechanism in the "color"-singlet plasma

Nahomi Kan, Koichiro Kobayashi, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

By projecting the partition function on the "color"-singlet state, we investigate the Hosotani mechanism in the fermion-gauge boson plasma. The present toy-model analysis of the on…

Quantum fluctuation of stress tensor in a higher-derivative scalar field theory around a cosmic string

Nahomi Kan, Masashi Kuniyasu, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We calculate the vacuum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a higher-derivative theory around a thin cosmic string. To this end, we adopt the method to obtain the stress tensor fro…

Discrete heat kernel, UV modified Green's function, and higher derivative theories

Nahomi Kan, Masashi Kuniyasu, Kiyoshi Shiraishi +1

We perform the UV deformation of the Green's function in free scalar field theory using a discrete heat kernel method. It is found that the simplest UV deformation based on the dis…

Vacuum expectation values in non-trivial background space from three types of UV improved Green's functions

Nahomi Kan, Masashi Kuniyasu, Kiyoshi Shiraishi +1

We evaluate the quantum expectation values in non-simply connected spaces by using UV improved Green's functions proposed by Padmanabhan, Abel, and Siegel. It is found that the res…

Integrable higher-dimensional cosmology with separable variables in an Einstein-dilaton-antisymmetric field theory

Nahomi Kan, Masashi Kuniyasu, Kiyoshi Shiraishi +1

We consider a -dimensional cosmological model with a dilaton field and two -form field strengths which have nonvanishing fluxes in extra dimensions. Exact solutions for…

Magnetic monopoles in multi-vector boson theories

Koichiro Kobayashi, Nahomi Kan, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

A classical solution for a magnetic monopole is found in a specific multi-vector boson theory. We consider the model whose gauge group is broken by sigma-model fiel…

A Newtonian Analysis of Multi-scalar Boson Stars with Large Self-couplings

Nahomi Kan, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We study solutions for boson stars in the multi-scalar field theory with global symmetry . The properties of the boson stars are investigated by the Newtonian approximati…

Spontaneous Compactification of Bimetric Theory

Nahomi Kan, Takuya Maki, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We propose a model of bimetric gravity in which the mixing of metrics naturally gives a mass to a graviton by the compactification with flux of two gauge fields in extra dimensions…

Critical Higher Order Gravities in Higher Dimensions

Nahomi Kan, Koichiro Kobayashi, Kiyoshi Shiraishi

We show that the higher order gravity model proposed by Meissner and Olechowski has a graviton mode, a massive spin-two excitation and no scalar mode in a maximally symmetric space…
