Cosmic bubble and domain wall instabilities I: parametric amplification of linear fluctuations
Jonathan Braden, J. Richard Bond, Laura Mersini-Houghton
This is the first paper in a series where we study collisions of nucleated bubbles taking into account the effects of small initial (quantum) fluctuations in a fully 3+1-dimensiona…
Electric-magnetic Duality of Abelian Gauge Theory on the Four-torus, from the Fivebrane on T2 x T4, via their Partition Functions
Louise Dolan, Yang Sun
We compute the partition function of four-dimensional abelian gauge theory on a general four-torus T4 with flat metric using Dirac quantization. In addition to an SL(4, Z) symmetry…
Relative Entropy and Proximity of Quantum Field Theories
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jonathan J. Heckman, Alexander Maloney
We study the question of how reliably one can distinguish two quantum field theories (QFTs). Each QFT defines a probability distribution on the space of fields. The relative entrop…
6d Conformal Matter
Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman, Alessandro Tomasiello +1
A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has G x G global symmetry and can be viewed as "bifundamental" (G,G) matter. For the A_N series, this…
Birth of the Universe from the Multiverse, MG13
Laura Mersini-Houghton
This proceeding is based on a talk I gave at the 13th Marcel Grossmann Meeting in Stockholm Sweden.
Backreaction of Hawking Radiation on a Gravitationally Collapsing Star I: Black Holes?
Laura Mersini-Houghton
Particle creation leading to Hawking radiation is produced by the changing gravitational field of the collapsing star. The two main initial conditions in the far past placed on the…
Localization on the Landscape and Eternal Inflation
Laura Mersini-Houghton, Malcolm J. Perry
We investigate the validity of the assertion that eternal inflation populates the landscape of string theory. We verify that bubble solutions do not satisfy the Klein Gordon equati…
The Polynomial Form of the Scattering Equations
Louise Dolan, Peter Goddard
The scattering equations, recently proposed by Cachazo, He and Yuan as providing a kinematic basis for describing tree amplitudes for massless particles in arbitrary space-time dim…
