First order perturbations of hypersurfaces of arbitrary causal character

Brien C. Nolan, Borja Reina, Kepa Sousa

In this work we study the problem of first order perturbations of a general hypersurface, i.e. with arbitrary causal character at each point. We extend the framework by Mars (Class…

Geometric Inflation

Gustavo Arciniega, Pablo Bueno, Pablo A. Cano +3

We argue that the presence of an inflationary epoch is a natural, almost unavoidable, consequence of the existence of a sensible effective action involving an infinite tower of hig…

Non-Abelian gauged supergravities as double copies

Marco Chiodaroli, Murat Gunaydin, Henrik Johansson +1

Scattering amplitudes have the potential to provide new insights to the study of supergravity theories with gauged R-symmetry and Minkowski vacua. Such gaugings break supersymmetry…

Automatic Peccei-Quinn symmetry

M. B. Gavela, M. Ibe, P. Quilez +1

We present a dynamical (composite) axion model where the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry arises automatically as a consequence of chirality and gauge symmetry. The Standard Model is sim…

The Most Irrational Rational Theories

Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1

We propose a two-parameter family of modular invariant partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) holographically dual to pure three-dimensional gravity…

Confronting the neutralino and chargino sector of the NMSSM to the multi-lepton searches at the LHC

Florian Domingo, Jong Soo Kim, Victor Martin-Lozano +2

We test the impact of the ATLAS and CMS multi-lepton searches performed at the LHC with 8 as well as 13 TeV center-of-mass energy (using only the pre-2018 results) on the chargino…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Validation of weak lensing cluster member contamination estimates from P(z) decomposition

T. N. Varga, J. DeRose, D. Gruen +68

Weak lensing source galaxy catalogs used in estimating the masses of galaxy clusters can be heavily contaminated by cluster members, prohibiting accurate mass calibration. In this…

Symmetry protected phases in inhomogeneous spin chains

Nadir Samos Sáenz de Buruaga, Silvia N. Santalla, Javier Rodríguez-Laguna +1

It has been shown recently that inhomogenous spin chains can exhibit exotic phenomena such as the breaking of the area law of the entanglement entropy. An example is given by the r…

A Numerical Routine for the Crossed Vertex Diagram with a Massive-Particle Loop

Roberto Bonciani, Giuseppe Degrassi, Pier Paolo Giardino +1

We present an evaluation of the two master integrals for the crossed vertex diagram with a closed loop of top quarks that allows for an easy numerical implementation. The different…

A New RASS Galaxy Cluster Catalog with Low Contamination Extending to in the DES Overlap Region

Matthias Klein, Sebastian Grandis, Joseph Mohr +2

We present the MARD-Y3 catalog of between 1086 and 2171 galaxy clusters (52\% and 65\% new) produced using multi-component matched filter (MCMF) followup in 5000\,deg of DES-Y3…

The Full-Sky Angular Bispectrum in Redshift Space

Enea Di Dio, Ruth Durrer, Roy Maartens +2

We compute the redshift-dependent angular bispectrum of galaxy number counts at tree-level, including nonlinear clustering bias and estimating numerically for the first time the ef…

Universal relaxation in a holographic metallic density wave phase

Andrea Amoretti, Daniel Areán, Blaise Goutéraux +1

In this work, we uncover a universal relaxation mechanism of pinned density waves, combining Gauge/Gravity duality and effective field theory techniques. Upon breaking translations…

Multi-wavelength astronomical searches for primordial black holes

Julien Manshanden, Daniele Gaggero, Gianfranco Bertone +2

If primordial black holes of constitute a significant portion of the dark matter in the Universe, they should be very abundant in our Galaxy. We pres…

Modular Symmetries and the Swampland Conjectures

Eduardo Gonzalo, Luis E. Ibáñez, Ángel M. Uranga

Recent string theory tests of swampland ideas like the distance or the dS conjectures have been performed at weak coupling. Testing these ideas beyond the weak coupling regime rema…

Transplanckian Axion Monodromy !?

Ginevra Buratti, Jose Calderon, Angel M. Uranga

We show that warped throats of the Klebanov-Strassler kind, regarded as 5d flux compactifications on Kähler-Einstein manifolds describe fully backreacted solutions of tr…
