Electromagnetic Radiation in a Semi-Compact Space

Satoshi Iso, Noriaki Kitazawa, Sumito Yokoo

In this note, we investigate the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a revolving point charge in a compact space. If the point charge is circulating with an angular frequency $ω…

Enhancements in F-theory models on moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with rank 17

Yusuke Kimura, Shun'ya Mizoguchi

We study the moduli of elliptic K3 surfaces with a section with the rank 17. While the Picard number of a generic K3 surface in such moduli space is 19, the Picard number is…

Secular Terms in Dyson Series to All-Orders of Perturbation

Satoshi Iso, Hikaru Ohta, Takao Suyama

In classical and quantum systems, perturbation of an evolution equation is often invalidated by secular terms which diverge at late times. The diverging behavior of evolution can b…

Quantum gravity fluctuations flatten the Planck-scale Higgs potential

Astrid Eichhorn, Yuta Hamada, Johannes Lumma +1

We investigate asymptotic safety of a toy model of a singlet-scalar extension of the Higgs sector including two real scalar fields under the impact of quantum-gravity fluctuations.…

Structure of stable degeneration of K3 surfaces into pairs of rational elliptic surfaces

Yusuke Kimura

F-theory/heterotic duality is formulated in the stable degeneration limit of a K3 fibration on the F-theory side. In this note, we analyze the structure of the stable degeneration…

Double-winding Wilson loop in Yang-Mills theory: A criterion for testing the confinement models

Ryutaro Matsudo, Kei-Ichi Kondo, Akihiro Shibata

We examine how the average of double-winding Wilson loops depends on the number of color in the Yang-Mills theory. In the case where the two loops and are i…

Electromagnetic Duality and the Electric Memory Effect

Yuta Hamada, Min-Seok Seo, Gary Shiu

We study large gauge transformations for soft photons in quantum electrodynamics which, together with the helicity operator, form an ISO(2) algebra. We show that the two non-compac…

M2- and M5-branes in E11 Current Algebra Formulation of M-theory

Shotaro Shiba, Hirotaka Sugawara

Equations of motion for M2- and M5-branes are written down in the current algebra formulation of M-theory. These branes correspond to currents of the second and the fifth…

Soft pion theorem, asymptotic symmetry and new memory effect

Yuta Hamada, Sotaro Sugishita

It is known that soft photon and graviton theorems can be regarded as the Ward-Takahashi identities of asymptotic symmetries. In this paper, we consider soft theorem for pions, i.e…

Ryuichiro Kitano, Takao Suyama, Norikazu Yamada

In gauge theory, it is argued recently that there exists a "mixed anomaly" between the CP symmetry and the 1-form symmetry at , and the anomaly matching…

Vacuum fluctuations in an ancestor vacuum: A possible dark energy candidate

Hajime Aoki, Satoshi Iso, Da-Shin Lee +2

We consider an open universe created by bubble nucleation, and study possible effects of an "ancestor vacuum" (de Sitter space in which bubble nucleation occurred) on the present u…

Full diffeomorphism and Lorentz invariance in 4D superfield description of 6D SUGRA

Hiroyuki Abe, Shuntaro Aoki, Yutaka Sakamura

We complete the four-dimensional superfield description of six-dimensional supergravity. The missing ingredients in the previous works are the superfields that contain…

Regular Multi-Horizon Black Holes in Modified Gravity with Non-Linear Electrodynamics

Shin'ichi Nojiri, S. D. Odintsov

We investigated the regular multi-horizon black holes in the Einstein gravity, gravity and the 5 dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity, all of them coupled with non-linear electr…

Weak Gravity Conjecture, Multiple Point Principle and the Standard Model Landscape

Yuta Hamada, Gary Shiu

The requirement for an ultraviolet completable theory to be well-behaved upon compactification has been suggested as a guiding principle for distinguishing the landscape from the s…

Strong Coupling Limit of A Family of Chern-Simons-matter Theories

Takao Suyama

We investigate the strong coupling limit of a family of Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit. The family consists of theories with the gauge group ${\rm U}…

A new method for probing the late-time dynamics in the Lorentzian type IIB matrix model

Takehiro Azuma, Yuta Ito, Jun Nishimura +1

The type IIB matrix model has been investigated as a possible nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In particular, it was found by Monte Carlo simulation of the Lorent…

Entanglement-induced quantum radiation

Satoshi Iso, Rumi Tatsukawa, Kazushige Ueda +1

Quantum entanglement of the Minkowski vacuum state between left and right Rindler wedges generates thermal behavior in the right Rindler wedge, which is known as the Unruh effect.…

Non-Gaussian and loop effects of inflationary correlation functions in BRST formalism

Hiroyuki Kitamoto, Yoshihisa Kitazawa, Ryota Kojima

We investigate inflationary correlation functions in single field inflation models. We adopt a BRST formalism where locality and covariance at the sub-horizon scale are manifest. T…

Large gauge transformation and little group for soft photons

Yuta Hamada, Min-Seok Seo, Gary Shiu

Recently, large gauge transformation (LGT), the residual gauge symmetry after gauge fixing that survives at null infinity, has drawn much attention concerning soft theorems and the…
