On three dimensions as the preferred dimensionality of space via the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism
Brian Greene, Daniel Kabat, Stefanos Marnerides
In previous work it was shown that, in accord with the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism, three is the maximum number of spatial dimensions that can grow large cosmologically from an in…
Dissipation in the effective field theory for hydrodynamics: First order effects
Solomon Endlich, Alberto Nicolis, Rafael A. Porto +1
We introduce dissipative effects in the effective field theory of hydrodynamics. We do this in a model-independent fashion by coupling the long-distance degrees of freedom explicit…
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…
Jet evolution from weak to strong coupling
Y. Hatta, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller +1
Recent studies, using the AdS/CFT correspondence, of the radiation produced by a decaying system or by an accelerated charge in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, led to a s…
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…
Non extremal geometries and holographic phase transitions
Mohammed Mia, Fang Chen
Using the low energy limit of type IIB superstring theory, we obtain the non-extremal limit of deformed conifold geometry which is dual to the IR limit of large N thermal QCD.At lo…
Solid Inflation
Solomon Endlich, Alberto Nicolis, Junpu Wang
We develop a cosmological model where primordial inflation is driven by a 'solid', defined as a system of three derivatively coupled scalar fields obeying certain symmetries and sp…
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…
Moduli Stabilization and the Holographic RG for AdS and dS
Xi Dong, Bart Horn, Eva Silverstein +1
We relate moduli stabilization () in the bulk of or to basic properties of the Wilsonian effective action in the holographic dual theory on : the sin…
Probability of Slowroll Inflation in the Multiverse
I-Sheng Yang
Slowroll after tunneling is a crucial step in one popular framework of the multiverse---false vacuum eternal inflation (FVEI). In a landscape with a large number of fields, we prov…
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…
The consistency condition for the three-point function in dissipative single-clock inflation
Diana Lopez Nacir, Rafael A. Porto, Matias Zaldarriaga
We generalize the consistency condition for the three-point function in single field inflation to the case of dissipative, multi-field, single-clock models. We use the recently int…
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…
A relativistic non-relativistic Goldstone theorem: gapped Goldstones at finite charge density
Alberto Nicolis, Federico Piazza
We adapt the Goldstone theorem to study spontaneous symmetry breaking in relativistic theo- ries at finite charge density. It is customary to treat systems at finite density via no…
Interacting Spin-2 Fields
Kurt Hinterbichler, Rachel A. Rosen
We construct consistent theories of multiple interacting spin-2 fields in arbitrary spacetime dimensions using a vielbein formulation. We show that these theories have the addition…
Anti-de Sitter massless scalar field spacetimes in arbitrary dimensions
Sebastian Garcia Saenz, Cristian Martinez
We consider -dimensional static spacetimes in Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant in the presence of a minimally coupled massless scalar field. The spacetimes have a $…
Warped Vacuum Statistics
Pontus Ahlqvist, Brian R. Greene, David Kagan
We consider the effect of warping on the distribution of type IIB flux vacua constructed with Calabi-Yau orientifolds. We derive an analytical form of the distribution that incorpo…
A no-hair theorem for the galileon
Lam Hui, Alberto Nicolis
We consider a galileon field coupled to gravity. The standard no-hair theorems do not apply, because of the galileon's peculiar derivative interactions. We prove that, nonetheless,…
Non-Extremality, Chemical Potential and the Infrared limit of Large N Thermal QCD
Mohammed Mia, Fang Chen, Keshav Dasgupta +2
Non-extremal solution with warped resolved-deformed conifold background is important to study the infrared limit of large N thermal QCD. Earlier works in this direction have not ta…
The Strong Multifield Slowroll Condition and Spiral Inflation
I-Sheng Yang
We point out the existing confusions about the slowroll parameters and conditions for multifield inflation. If one requires the fields to roll down the gradient flow, we find that…
Kontsevich integral for knots and Vassiliev invariants
Petr Dunin-Barkowski, Alexey Sleptsov, Andrey Smirnov
We review quantum field theory approach to the knot theory. Using holomorphic gauge we obtain the Kontsevich integral. It is explained how to calculate Vassiliev invariants and coe…
Moving Stable Solitons in Galileon Theory
Ali Masoumi, Xiao Xiao
Despite the no-go theorem [5] which rules out static stable solitons in Galileon theory, we propose a family of solitons that evade the theorem by traveling at the speed of light.…
AdS/CFT Energy Loss in Time-Dependent String Configurations
Andrej Ficnar
We analyze spacetime momentum currents on a classical string worldsheet, study their generic connection via AdS/CFT correspondence to the instantaneous energy loss of the dual fiel…
