A UV complete model of Large N Thermal QCD
Fang Chen, Long Chen, Keshav Dasgupta +2
Many recent works on large N holographic QCD in the planar limit have not considered UV completions, restricting exclusively towards analyzing the IR physics. Due to this, the UV p…
Recovering the Negative Mode for Type B Coleman-de Luccia Instantons
I-Sheng Yang
The usual (type A) thin-wall Coleman-de Luccia instanton is made by a bigger-than-half sphere of the false vacuum and a smaller-than-half sphere of the true vacuum. It has a the st…
Subluminal Galilean Genesis
Paolo Creminelli, Kurt Hinterbichler, Justin Khoury +2
We put forward an improved version of the Galilean Genesis model that addresses the problem of superluminality. We demote the full conformal group to Poincare symmetry plus dilatio…
Bounces with O(3) x O(2) symmetry
Ali Masoumi, Erick J. Weinberg
We study the contribution to the decay of de Sitter vacua from bounces with O(3) x O(2) symmetry. These correspond to the thermal production of a vacuum bubble at the center of a h…
Quasi-Dilaton: Theory and Cosmology
Guido D'Amico, Gregory Gabadadze, Lam Hui +1
General Relativity (GR), with or without matter fields, admits a natural extension to a scale invariant theory that requires a dilaton. Here we show that the recently formulated ma…
Bubble Nucleation of Spatial Vector Fields
Ali Masoumi, Xiao Xiao, I-Sheng Yang
We study domain-walls and bubble nucleation in a non-relativistic vector field theory with different longitudinal and transverse speeds of sound. We describe analytical and numeric…
