Pauli-Villars regularization of Kaluza-Klein Casimir energy with Lorentz symmetry

Hiroki Matsui, Yutaka Sakamura

The Pauli-Villars regularization is appropriate to discuss the UV sensitivity of low-energy observables because it mimics how the contributions of new particles at high energies ca…

Quantum Gravity Effective Action Provides Entropy of The Universe

Ken-ji Hamada

The effective action in renormalizable quantum theory of gravity provides entropy because the total Hamiltonian vanishes. Since it is a renormalization group invariant that is cons…

Circularly polarized gravitational waves in Chern-Simons gravity originated from an axion domain wall

Sugumi Kanno, Jiro Soda, Akira Taniguchi

We study a scattering problem of gravitational waves (GWs) by an axion domain wall in Chern-Simons (CS) gravity. We find that circular polarization of GWs is produced after passing…

A 10d construction of Euclidean axion wormholes in flat and AdS space

Gregory J. Loges, Gary Shiu, Thomas Van Riet

Euclidean wormhole geometries sourced by axions and dilatons are puzzling objects in quantum gravity. From one side of the wormhole to the other, the scalar fields traverse a few P…

A peak in the power spectrum of primordial gravitational waves induced by primordial dark magnetic fields

Sugumi Kanno, Ann Mukuno, Jiro Soda +1

Dark gauge fields have been discussed as candidates for dark matter recently. If they existed, primordial dark magnetic fields during inflation would have existed. It is believed t…
