Large Field Inflation and Gravitational Entropy

Nemanja Kaloper, Matthew Kleban, Albion Lawrence +1

Large field inflation can be sensitive to perturbative and nonperturbative quantum corrections that spoil slow roll. A large number of light species in the theory, which occur…

Domain Wall Equations, Hessian of Superpotential, and Bogomol'nyi Bounds

Shouxin Chen, Yisong Yang

An important question concerning the classical solutions of the equations of motion arising in quantum field theories at the BPS critical coupling is whether all finite-energy solu…

Local QCD Action at Finite Temperature

Patrick Cooper, Daniel Zwanziger

In this article, we carefully derive the horizon condition at finite temperature. Only the zero Matsubara mode is affected, and this result is consistent with the suitably modified…

Origin of Confining Force

Patrick Cooper, Daniel Zwanziger

In this article we present exact calculations that substantiate a clear picture relating the confining force of QCD to the zero-modes of the Faddeev-Popov (FP) operator $\mathcal{M…

Stückelberg Formulation of Holography

Gia Dvali, Cesar Gomez, Nico Wintergerst

We suggest that holography can be formulated in terms of the information capacity of the Stückelberg degrees of freedom that maintain gauge invariance of the theory in the presence…

Towards a Theory of the QCD String

Sergei Dubovsky, Victor Gorbenko

We construct a new model of four-dimensional relativistic strings with integrable dynamics on the worldsheet. In addition to translational modes this model contains a single massle…
