Special Points of Inflation in Flux Compactifications

Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Thomas W. Grimm, Irene Valenzuela

We study the realisation of axion inflation models in the complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds and fourfolds. The axions arise close to special points of these…

Instantaneous stochastic perturbation theory

Martin Lüscher

A form of stochastic perturbation theory is described, where the representative stochastic fields are generated instantaneously rather than through a Markov process. The correctnes…

Analytic Prediction of Baryonic Effects from the EFT of Large Scale Structures

Matthew Lewandowski, Ashley Perko, Leonardo Senatore

The large scale structures of the universe will likely be the next leading source of cosmological information. It is therefore crucial to understand their behavior. The Effective F…

N=1 super sinh-Gordon model with defects revisited

A. R. Aguirre, J. F. Gomes, N. I. Spano +1

The Lax pair formalism is considered to discuss the integrability of the N=1 supersymmetric sinh-Gordon model with a defect. We derive associated defect matrix for the model and co…

HALOGEN: A tool for fast generation of mock halo catalogues

Santiago Avila, Steven G. Murray, Alexander Knebe +3

We present a simple method of generating approximate synthetic halo catalogues: HALOGEN. This method uses a combination of -order Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (2LPT) in o…

Softened Gravity and the Extension of the Standard Model up to Infinite Energy

Gian F. Giudice, Gino Isidori, Alberto Salvio +1

Attempts to solve naturalness by having the weak scale as the only breaking of classical scale invariance have to deal with two severe difficulties: gravity and the absence of Land…

Decoupling and de Sitter Vacua in Approximate No-Scale Supergravities

M. C. David Marsh, Bert Vercnocke, Timm Wrase

We study supergravity with chiral superfields in which one of the fields has a Kähler potential of exact no-scale type. Such systems admit de Sitter (dS) solutio…

Wilson loops with arbitrary charges

Piotr Korcyl, Mateusz Koren, Jacek Wosiek

We discuss how to implement, in lattice gauge theories, external charges which are not commensurate with an elementary gauge coupling. It is shown that an arbitrary, real power of…

Hunting down systematics in baryon acoustic oscillations after cosmic high noon

Francisco Prada, Claudia G. Scoccola, Chia-Hsun Chuang +5

Future dark energy experiments will require better and more accurate theoretical predictions for the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) signature in the spectrum of cosmological…

A Refined Analysis on the Resonance

Ce Meng, Juan José Sanz-Cillero, Meng Shi +2

We study the property of the meson by analyzing the and decay processes. The competition between the rescattering mediated through a…

Gravitational Waves and Scalar Perturbations from Spectator Fields

Matteo Biagetti, Emanuela Dimastrogiovanni, Matteo Fasiello +1

The most conventional mechanism for gravitational waves (gw) production during inflation is the amplification of vacuum metric fluctuations. In this case the gw production can be u…

Possible Interpretations of IceCube High-Energy Neutrino Events

Chee Sheng Fong, Hisakazu Minakata, Boris Panes +1

We discuss possible interpretations of the 37 high energy neutrino events observed by the IceCube experiment in the South Pole. We examine the possibility to explain the observed n…

Radiopurity assessment of the tracking readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment

S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +68

The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, which requires a severe suppression of p…

Momentum dissipation and effective theories of coherent and incoherent transport

Richard A. Davison, Blaise Goutéraux

We study heat transport in two systems without momentum conservation: a hydrodynamic system, and a holographic system with spatially dependent, massless scalar fields. When momentu…

An 8-mm diameter Fiber Robot Positioner for Massive Spectroscopy Surveys

N. Fahim, F. Prada, J. P. Kneib +22

Massive spectroscopic survey are becoming trendy in astrophysics and cosmology, as they can address new fundamental knowledge such as Galactic Archaeology and probe the nature of t…

Detecting Boosted Dark Matter from the Sun with Large Volume Neutrino Detectors

Joshua Berger, Yanou Cui, Yue Zhao

We study novel scenarios where thermal dark matter (DM) can be efficiently captured in the Sun and annihilate into boosted dark matter. In models with semi-annihilating DM, where D…

The Effective Planck Mass and the Scale of Inflation

Ignatios Antoniadis, Subodh P. Patil

Observable quantities in cosmology are dimensionless, and therefore independent of the units in which they are measured. This is true of all physical quantities associated with the…

Naturalness and Dimensional Transmutation in Classically Scale-Invariant Gravity

Martin B. Einhorn, D. R. Timothy Jones

We discuss the nature of quantum field theories involving gravity that are classically scale-invariant. We show that gravitational radiative corrections are crucial in the determin…
