Spontaneous Torque on an Inhomogeneous Chiral Body out of Thermal Equilibrium

Kimball A. Milton, Nima Pourtolami, Gerard Kennedy

In a previous paper we showed that an inhomogeneous body in vacuum will experience a spontaneous force if it is not in thermal equilibrium with its environment. This is due to the…

Cross-sectional Dependence in Idiosyncratic Volatility

Ilze Kalnina, Kokouvi Tewou

This paper introduces an econometric framework for analyzing cross-sectional dependence in the idiosyncratic volatilities of assets using high frequency data. We first consider the…

Quantum Self-Propulsion of an Inhomogeneous Object out of Thermal Equilibrium

Kimball A. Milton, Nima Pourtolami, Gerard Kennedy

In an earlier paper, we explored how quantum vacuum torque can arise: a body or nanoparticle that is out of thermal equilibrium with its environment experiences a spontaneous torqu…

A nearly Dirichlet Higgs for lower-scale warped extra dimensions

Mariana Frank, Nima Pourtolami, Manuel Toharia

We consider a minimal extension of the Standard Model in warped extra dimensions, with fields propagating in the bulk including a bulk SM-like Higgs doublet. We show that the Higgs…

Quantum friction in the presence of a perfectly conducting plate

Xin Guo, Kimball A. Milton, Gerard Kennedy +1

A neutral but polarizable particle at rest near a perfectly conducting plate feels a force normal to the surface of the plate, which tends to pull the particle towards the plate. T…

Additional Higgs bosons: Supersymmetry or warped extra dimensions?

Mariana Frank, Nima Pourtolami, Manuel Toharia

We investigate and compare additional CP-even, CP-odd and charged scalar states appearing in two popular Beyond the Standard Model scenarios. We focus on the simplest possible Higg…
